Whilst JOBJACK will do all things reasonably necessary to protect your right
to privacy, it cannot guarantee or accept any liability whatsoever for
unauthorised or unlawful disclosures of your Personal Information, whilst in

JOBJACK WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE, HOWSOEVER ARISING, SUFFERED
BY YOU AS A RESULT OF THE DISCLOSURE OF SUCH INFORMATION TO THE THIRD PARTY.

be liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising from the unintended use of
any information provided to such an entity.
