Restrictions on Some Recruiting Companies’ Access to Published Resume Information
The Resume Scout Service includes a function that allows you, at your own discretion, to make your resume information private (the "block function") for certain companies that have used CFN in the past or are currently using CFN. However, the block function may not be maintained in the event of a merger or company name change, etc. of a company that has been blocked. Therefore, the block function does not guarantee that your resume will remain private permanently. Members who use the "block function" service understand the above and agree that they are responsible for selecting and managing the companies to which the "block function” applies. DISCO shall not be liable for any loss or damage (including, but not limited to, emotional distress, interruption of job search activities, or any other financial loss) incurred by a member as a result of the block function.
DISCO shall not be held liable for any damage (including, but not limited to, emotional distress, an interruption in your job-hunting activities and any other disadvantage including a monetary loss) arising from your registration with CFN, use thereof, information provided by a third party and other activities, unless such damage was caused by intention or gross negligence of DISCO. Further, DISCO shall not be obligated to re-send its e-mail magazine and other materials in case they become garbled and illegible.
DISCO shall not be held liable for any damage suffered due to causes beyond its control including, but not limited to, damage from computer virus attacks which cannot be prevented by ordinary preventive measures and natural disasters. DISCO does not guarantee the data stored at CFN will not be deleted or modified by such an act of force majeure.
If you cause a third party or third parties any damage by your registration with CFN or use thereof, you shall be responsible for a solution. DISCO will not bear any responsibility in such a case.
If you violate the rules herein and, whether directly or indirectly, cause a loss to DISCO, you shall be obligated to indemnify all the loss to DISCO.

In the event of any substantial change of these rules, DISCO will, at least one (1) month prior to the first day of application of the amended provisions, terms and conditions (collectively, the “Changed Terms and Conditions”), post notification on CFN to the effect that these rules will be changed as well as on the details and effective date of these rules after such change.
