Revised: September 16, 2020
These Terms of Use are effective immediately for unregistered users and users registering accounts or otherwise acknowledging acceptance of these terms on or after the revision date.
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of our websites, emails and mobile applications ("TimberJobs.org").
These Terms also include our Privacy and Cookie Policy. By accessing and using TimberJobs.org, you agree to comply with these Terms. If
you are using TimberJobs.org on behalf of a company or other legal entity, then "you" also means such company or legal entity and you agree to be bound by these Terms even if we have a separate agreement with you. You may not use TimberJobs.org if you do not agree to the version of the Terms posted on TimberJobs.org at the time you access TimberJobs.org. The terms "we" and "us" refer to: TimberJobs.org, an organization run by Douglas Timber Operators in Roseburg, Oregon.
Please note: These Terms require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.
1. Eligibility to Use TimberJobs.org
A. To access or use TimberJobs.org, you must be at least 16 years of age or, if older, the age of majority in your jurisdiction, otherwise you may not use TimberJobs.org.
An employer and its authorized agent(s) are permitted to use the employer's account to post job advertisements and any data about that
employer provided via that account for the employer's internal business purposes. Except as set forth above, or as otherwise approved by us, TimberJobs.org is for your personal, non-commercial use unless you enter into a separate
agreement with us for your commercial use. You may not use TimberJobs.org if we
have terminated your account or banned you.2. Your TimberJobs.org
Account1. TimberJobs.org
Account. In order for you to create a TimberJobs.org account, we
require that you provide a valid email address. The email you use must be one
where we can reach you. In the event we cannot correspond with you via this
email address, your submitted content may be rejected and your account may be
disabled. Other registration requirements (such as, a click on a link in a TimberJobs.org
job alert email by unregistered users who create job alerts) may also apply.
Once you have set up a password, you will be given access to your profile and
other private areas of your account. You are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your password. You agree to notify us immediately if you

(a "Profile") for you that will include personal information you
provide. We will update your Profile with information we extract from resumes
you upload on TimberJobs.org. You may permit us to share information in your
Profile with prospective employers, recruiters, and others. Subject to
visibility settings that you control, subscribers to services we may introduce
will be able to view information in your Profile. Because your anonymity on TimberJobs.org
is important, your Profile does not include
or link to information about the reviews or salary information you submit to TimberJobs.org.
However, we may ask you to provide, and we may subsequently collect if you
agree to provide, certain categories of sensitive personal information (e.g.,
race/ethnicity, sexual orientation). You may also have the opportunity to
associate this sensitive personal information (and some nonsensitive personal
information) with your reviews. The intended use for this data will be
disclosed in detail at the time of collection; please be aware that you do not
have to share your personal information beyond the level you feel comfortable.
