Welcome to Oeuvre. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Oeuvre’s professional networking platform, including oeuvreinc.com, our mobile applications, and the features and services available through them (collectively, the “Services”).
The Services enable users to create professional profiles, share projects, achievements, and contributions as evidence of their capabilities, connect and collaborate with others, participate in groups, and discover professional opportunities.
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. Please review them carefully because they affect your legal rights and obligations. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Services.
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you enter into a binding agreement with Oeuvre, Inc. (“Oeuvre,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and agree to these Terms and the policies expressly incorporated into them.
If you use the Services for an organization or other entity, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf. In that case, “you” includes both you and that organization.
You may not use the Services if applicable law prohibits you from doing so or if Oeuvre previously suspended or terminated your access for a material violation of these Terms.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use the Services. By using Oeuvre, you represent that you meet these requirements.
The Services are not directed to children. If we learn that an ineligible person created an account, we may suspend or close the account and handle associated information as described in our Privacy Policy.
You must provide accurate, current, and complete account information and keep it updated. You are responsible for protecting your credentials and for activity conducted through your account. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.
Do not create accounts using false identities, misleading affiliations, or information you are not authorized to use. You may not sell, transfer, or share an account except through an Oeuvre-supported organization-administration feature.
If you create or administer an organization page, post an opportunity, or communicate on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to do so. Organization administrators are responsible for maintaining appropriate access when representatives join, change roles, or leave.
“Individual User” means a person who accesses or uses the Services for personal professional purposes.
“Organization” means a company, nonprofit, educational institution, team, group, or other entity represented on the Services.
“Oeuvre Content” means the Services and the text, software, designs, graphics, trademarks, and other materials provided by Oeuvre, excluding User Content.
“User Content” means profile information, projects, achievements, contributions, images, video, audio, code, documents, messages, comments, listings, and other material submitted through the Services.
“Professional Profile” means the collection of information a user chooses to present about their identity, experience, capabilities, projects, contributions, and professional interests.
“Collaborative Project” means a project or body of work associated with more than one user, contributor, organization, or role.
“Opportunity” means a job, contract, freelance engagement, project, collaboration, or other professional possibility described or discussed through the Services.
You retain the rights you hold in your User Content. You are responsible for your User Content and represent that:
Unless Oeuvre expressly identifies a specific verification and its scope, Oeuvre does not independently verify or endorse profile claims, credentials, project results, contribution records, identities, or affiliations.
You grant Oeuvre a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, sublicensable only to our affiliates and service providers, to host, store, reproduce, technically format, transmit, display, and distribute your User Content only as necessary to provide, secure, operate, and improve the Services in accordance with the audience settings you select.
This license generally ends when your User Content is deleted from the Services, subject to reasonable backup periods, legal and safety obligations, fraud prevention, dispute preservation, and copies or collaborative records that other users are entitled to retain. Private communications are used only as necessary for delivery, storage, security, support, abuse prevention, policy enforcement, and legal compliance, as described in the Privacy Policy.
If you voluntarily provide product feedback or suggestions, you permit Oeuvre to use them without restriction or compensation, provided we do not identify you publicly without permission.
You may not use the Services to:
Ordinary sharing of public profile and project links is permitted. Automated access is permitted only through tools or interfaces expressly authorized by Oeuvre.
Oeuvre and its licensors own all rights in the Services and Oeuvre Content, including our software, designs, trademarks, logos, and service marks. Subject to these Terms, Oeuvre grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Services for their intended purposes.
You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Services or Oeuvre Content except as permitted by law or with our written authorization. No right to use Oeuvre’s names, trademarks, logos, or branding is granted except as expressly authorized.
Oeuvre may allow users to identify contributors, describe roles, and associate people with Collaborative Projects. These records are supplied by users. They do not determine copyright ownership, inventorship, authorship, employment status, compensation, partnership, agency, or contractual rights.
Users must describe contributions accurately and may not grant rights in another participant’s material without authorization. Project administrators may manage a project page only within the authority granted by contributors and applicable agreements.
Where supported, credited users may accept, decline, unlink, or request correction of an attribution. Oeuvre may label, restrict, preserve, or remove disputed content while reviewing a report, but Oeuvre does not adjudicate underlying ownership, payment, employment, or contract disputes.
Oeuvre does not replace a written collaboration, intellectual-property assignment, confidentiality, compensation, or employment agreement. Users should use appropriate agreements when those matters are important.
Group administrators are users, not Oeuvre employees or agents. They may establish additional group rules, moderate participation, and remove members, but they cannot bind Oeuvre or guarantee that a group or its content is accurate, endorsed, or confidential.
Audience controls and private features limit intended visibility but do not create a nondisclosure agreement between users or guarantee that recipients will keep information confidential. Share only information you are authorized to disclose. When confidentiality matters, use an appropriate agreement with the recipient.
Messages and restricted content may be processed and, where permitted, reviewed for delivery, security, support, abuse prevention, policy enforcement, and legal compliance as described in our Privacy Policy.
Oeuvre provides tools through which users may discover and communicate about Opportunities. Oeuvre is not an employer, recruiter, staffing agency, employment agency, agent, representative, or party to any Opportunity or resulting relationship. Oeuvre does not guarantee discovery, ranking, reach, responses, interviews, engagements, compensation, hiring, or career outcomes.
Users and Organizations posting Opportunities must:
Organization users may use professional information obtained through Oeuvre only to evaluate or communicate about a legitimate, disclosed Opportunity or collaboration. They may not sell or resell member data, build unrelated marketing lists, conduct unauthorized background checks, infer sensitive traits, discriminate unlawfully, or make unlawful automated employment decisions.
Users are responsible for evaluating people, Organizations, claims, contracts, working conditions, compensation, and Opportunities before sharing sensitive information or entering a relationship.
Users must interact respectfully and comply with these Terms and any Community Guidelines displayed through the Services.
Oeuvre may review, investigate, label, limit distribution, restrict visibility, preserve, remove, or disable access to content or accounts when we reasonably believe action is needed to enforce these Terms, protect users or the Services, respond to reports, prevent fraud or abuse, or comply with law. Oeuvre is not obligated to monitor all content or prevent every violation.
Where appropriate or legally required, we may provide notice and an opportunity to appeal. We may act without advance notice when necessary to address fraud, safety, security, legal, or service-integrity concerns.
Search results, recommendations, alerts, trends, and other visibility features are not endorsements and do not guarantee continued availability or any professional outcome.
If you believe content on Oeuvre infringes your copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights, follow the reporting instructions in our Copyright and Rights Policy or contact support@oeuvreinc.com.
Copyright notices must include the information required by applicable law. Oeuvre may forward a notice to the affected user and may remove or restore content through a notice-and-counter-notice process. Oeuvre may terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.
Before publication, Oeuvre must adopt a complete Copyright and Rights Policy, publish and register accurate designated-agent information where required, and implement corresponding notice, counter-notice, restoration, and repeat-infringer procedures.
Some Services may be free, and Oeuvre may offer paid features or subscription plans. Before a purchase, we will present the applicable price, billing period, renewal terms, trial terms, taxes, cancellation method, and other material conditions.
If you purchase an automatically renewing subscription, you authorize recurring charges at the disclosed interval until cancellation. You may cancel using the method disclosed at purchase. Unless otherwise stated, cancellation prevents future renewal and does not immediately end access for the paid billing period.
Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or expressly stated at purchase. Price changes apply prospectively and only after any notice required by law. Purchases made through Apple, Google, or another marketplace may also be governed by that marketplace’s billing, cancellation, and refund terms.
Do not publish this section as a description of current functionality until Oeuvre verifies its checkout disclosures, affirmative consent records, renewal notices, price-change notices, cancellation methods, refund process, and app-store billing ownership.
Our Privacy Policy explains how Oeuvre collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects Personal Information and how users may exercise applicable privacy rights. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
We use cookies and similar technologies as described in the Privacy Policy and any separate Cookie Notice made available through the Services. Where required, we request consent before using non-essential technologies and provide controls for managing preferences.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for using reasonable account-security practices and notifying us if you suspect unauthorized access. Oeuvre’s current security capabilities must be described accurately; do not promise two-factor authentication, encryption methods, audit standards, or fixed deletion periods unless verified.
The Services may contain links to, integrate with, or display content from third parties. Oeuvre does not control and is not responsible for third-party services, content, availability, security, or privacy practices. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.
If you download an Oeuvre mobile application through an app marketplace, the marketplace may impose additional terms. The marketplace is not responsible for providing or supporting the Services except to the extent required by its own terms or applicable law.
You may close your account using available account controls or by contacting support. Before closing an account, you are responsible for exporting any information you wish to retain where an export feature is available.
Oeuvre may suspend, restrict, or terminate access; remove content; or limit Organization privileges when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, address fraud or abuse, protect users or the Services, comply with law, or respond to nonpayment. Where appropriate, we may provide notice, an opportunity to cure, or an appeal.
Following deletion or termination, certain information may be retained or remain available as described in the Privacy Policy, including reasonable backups, records required for legal or security purposes, content another user copied or reshared, and portions of collaborative records needed to preserve other users’ legitimate contributions. Legal retention does not necessarily mean information remains publicly accessible.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual-property, payment, disclaimer, liability, indemnification, dispute, and general provisions—will survive.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” Oeuvre disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Oeuvre does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that all content, identities, credentials, contribution claims, Organizations, listings, messages, or Opportunities will be accurate, current, safe, or verified.
Oeuvre is not responsible for user conduct; employment, project, compensation, attribution, confidentiality, or contractual disputes; third-party services; or decisions made in reliance on User Content, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Oeuvre will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, opportunities, data, goodwill, or business interruption arising from the Services.
Oeuvre’s aggregate liability arising from the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid Oeuvre for the Services during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or US $100.
These exclusions and limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or other legally nonwaivable matters. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
To the extent permitted by law, if you use the Services on behalf of an Organization or for commercial purposes, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Oeuvre and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims arising from your User Content, your unlawful or unauthorized conduct, your material breach of these Terms, or your violation of another person’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
Oeuvre will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim and allow you to control the defense, subject to Oeuvre’s right to participate with counsel of its choosing. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by or imposes obligations on Oeuvre without written consent.
This section does not require indemnification for Oeuvre’s own fraud, willful misconduct, or liability that cannot lawfully be shifted. Consumer indemnification obligations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Counsel must finalize this section before publication and confirm its presentation, assent, opt-out, registry, and jurisdictional requirements.
Before filing a formal claim, you and Oeuvre agree to send written notice describing the dispute and requested resolution and to attempt informal resolution for 30 days.
For U.S. Individual Users, disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by individual binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, except for eligible small-claims matters, requests for public injunctive relief where applicable law requires a court forum, and matters that legally cannot be arbitrated. Hearings may occur remotely or in the consumer’s home area unless the parties agree otherwise.
You may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to support@oeuvreinc.com within 30 days after first accepting these Terms. The notice must identify your account and state that you are opting out of arbitration.
For disputes between Oeuvre and an Organization acting for business purposes, counsel may specify the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules or another approved process.
To the extent permitted by law, claims must proceed individually and not as a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. This waiver does not eliminate nonwaivable rights or remedies.
These Terms are governed by Delaware law, excluding conflict-of-law principles, while preserving mandatory consumer protections in your home jurisdiction. Claims not subject to arbitration may be brought in the courts designated by a final counsel-approved clause, subject to small-claims and nonwaivable local-law exceptions.
Oeuvre may update these Terms to reflect product, legal, security, or operational changes. We will identify the effective date of each version and provide advance notice of materially adverse changes when required. We will request affirmative consent when required by law. Changes will not retroactively impair accrued claims.
If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective, and the affected provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without Oeuvre’s consent; Oeuvre may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of the Services, subject to applicable law.
These Terms and incorporated policies constitute the entire agreement regarding the Services, except for additional terms presented for specific features, Organizations, subscriptions, or jurisdictions.
Oeuvre is committed to making the Services accessible. For accessibility support or to request information in an alternative format, contact support@oeuvreinc.com. Do not claim conformance with a particular accessibility standard until the applicable experiences have been audited.
