UNIVERSAL TERMS OF SERVICE AND CANDIDATE CONDITIONS
Original Date: May 1, 2020
Last Revised: February 4, 2021
1. Overview and Nature of These Terms
These Universal Terms of Service and Candidate Conditions (“Terms”) describe the conditions under which Logan Scott (“Candidate”) is willing to enter into employment or provide services to any individual or entity (“Company”) that reviews the Candidate’s website, resume, portfolio, or other materials.
These Terms provide notice of the Candidate’s expectations and conditions for employment discussions and do not, by themselves, create a binding contract.
No employment relationship or contractual obligation shall exist unless and until the Candidate and the Company mutually agree in writing to the terms governing employment or services.
Any offer of employment shall be considered a proposal for negotiation unless the parties execute a written agreement stating the final terms of employment.
If employment begins without a written agreement, these Terms may be considered evidence of the Candidate’s stated conditions and expectations to the extent permitted by law.
Nothing in these Terms obligates the Company to hire the Candidate, and nothing obligates the Candidate to accept employment.
The terms “Candidate”, “I”, “me”, or “my” refer to Logan Scott.
The terms “Company”, “you”, or “your” refer to any individual or entity engaging in employment discussions with the Candidate.
These Terms do not create any third-party rights.
2. Requirement of Written Agreement
The Candidate does not accept employment based solely on an offer letter.
Any employment relationship must be governed by a written agreement signed by both parties specifying the terms of employment, compensation, and termination conditions.
If the parties do not reach such written agreement, either party may withdraw from the proposed employment without liability.
3. Severance Requirement (Default Term)
Unless otherwise agreed in a written employment agreement signed by both parties, any offer of employment accepted by the Candidate shall include the following severance condition:
If the Company terminates the Candidate’s employment without cause, the Company shall provide severance compensation equal to one (1) full year of the Candidate’s base salary, as listed on the Offer Letter.
Severance shall be paid within thirty (30) days of termination unless otherwise agreed in writing.
This provision does not apply if:
1. The parties sign a written agreement with different severance terms.
2. The termination is for cause as defined in a written agreement.
Nothing in this section obligates the Company to hire the Candidate.
4. Dispute Resolution; No Mandatory Arbitration
The Candidate does not agree to binding arbitration, waiver of jury trial, non-disparagement provisions, or limitation of legal rights. Disputes may be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction as permitted by law.
Nothing in this section waives rights provided by federal or state law.
5. Personal Device Privacy and Monitoring
The Candidate’s personal devices are private property.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Company shall not require:
- monitoring of personal devices
- installation of tracking software
- access to personal accounts
- inspection of home network equipment
- tracking of personal internet traffic
Both parties agree that the Candidate shall not be required to use a personal cellphone, personal phone number, or personal communication device for work unless agreed in writing.
If work requires a phone, the Company shall provide appropriate equipment unless otherwise agreed.
This section does not restrict monitoring of Company-owned equipment.
6. Medical Decisions and Employment Conditions
The Candidate retains the right to make personal medical decisions subject to applicable law.
Any medical, testing, or vaccination requirement must be disclosed before employment is accepted.
The Candidate is not required to accept undisclosed medical requirements unless agreed in writing.
Nothing in this section prevents compliance with applicable law.
7. Name, Image, Likeness, Voice, and Recording Rights (Ohio Law)
The Candidate retains all rights in his name, image, likeness, voice, and identity under applicable law, including Ohio Revised Code Chapter 2741.
As a condition of employment discussions, any recording or use of the Candidate’s identity must be disclosed before employment begins.
The Company shall not:
- use the Candidate’s identity for marketing or publicity
- record voice or image for external use
- use identity for AI or biometric systems
- create synthetic voice or likeness
- collect biometric identifiers
- require one-way recorded interviews
- require recording using personal devices
The Candidate may decline recordings any time during employment.
This does not prevent:
- internal business use
- ID badges or directories
- legally required recording
- security recording
- recording with consent
- recording required by law
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Candidate shall not be liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of materials provided by the Candidate.
9. Superseding Agreement
If the parties execute a written employment agreement, this agreement controls.
10. Severability and Enforcement
If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
Default terms may be considered if employment begins without a written agreement.
No damages are owed unless contained in a signed agreement.
