6. Company User Responsibilities and Content Management

The Company you represent explicitly acknowledges that neither HerFuture nor any associated institutions are required to verify the content of the Company’s job postings, partner page, or any other published material (including its wording, target audience, etc.). The content published by the Company is the Company’s sole responsibility.

The Company also acknowledges and agrees that HerFuture may, at any time, remove any content published by the Company, such as job ads or company information, if all or part of the content is in breach of these Terms of Use, or if a participant of the HerFuture platform (e.g., a member, user, etc.) submits a reasoned written request for its removal based on its alleged unlawfulness. HerFuture cannot be held responsible for this removal.

Furthermore, if a Company creates a partner page that is accessible throughout the network, and if the content of that page is substantially similar to what is published or validated by an Administrator on the platform, HerFuture reserves the right to disable the Company’s partner page to optimize the use of the Service. The page will be reactivated upon the Company's request.

  • Ensuring the proper functioning of its equipment and internet access.
