A job posted on APM Careers will remain live for 28 days or such shorter time as we agree with the customer. Any extension of this time will be charged to the customer as a new posting. Any jobs posted in addition to the agreed number of jobs per month will be charged at a price per job agreed with the customer at the time of the contract negotiation. A single job is identified by its unique number. If a customer deletes a job and then either reposts it or posts another, this will be classed as two jobs.

Termination
The customer may terminate the provision of services under any order form by no fewer than 30 days notice to expire at the end of a contract month. Termination by the customer before the end of the contract term may, at our discretion, result in loss of discounts agreed for the entire contract term.
We may terminate the provision of services if:

• the customer becomes insolvent, ceases to trade or goes into liquidation.
Limitation of liability
Our total liability to the customer in respect of any services, except for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, is limited to the total amount paid to us during the contract term for such services or £10,000, whichever is the greater.

You agree to comply with the Act and these regulations as they affect the conduct of your business and the advertisements you place on The Actuary Jobs.
Site rules
We have rules regarding the content and format of jobs posted on The Actuary Jobs. Their purpose is to ensure that users who search the site or the APM Careers database get results that are presented as clearly as possible.

The rules may change from time to time and you are advised to refer to them regularly.

• Job advertisements placed on APM Careers must be for genuine vacancies only.
• URLs or e-mail links are not allowed in the body copy of the job description page. E-mail links are permitted from the 'send an e-mail' link and url linking is permitted from the 'apply online' link.
Illegal advertisements
Advertisements that discriminate on grounds of sex, race, age religion (unless there is a genuine occupational requirement) or disability are illegal and may result in proceedings being taken against both the advertiser and the publisher. We may at our discretion remove any advertisement from APM Careers if we feel it is in breach of employment discrimination rules.

You agree to deal fairly and professionally with individuals who may respond to an advertisement you have posted. You will indemnify us from and against any claim brought by an individual against Redactive Publishing Limited arising from your breach of this obligation or any other of these terms and conditions.

Redactive Publishing Limited does not guarantee any response to your advertisement or that responses will be from individuals suitable for the job advertised.
