Our failure to require your performance of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by us of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and such provision will be amended or construed so as to render it valid and enforceable and achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the objectives and intent reflected in the original provision.

* persons engaged in human resource management practices that meet any of the following criteria: (i) possess salaried-level human resource management experience; (ii) are certified by the Human Resource Certification Institute; (iii) are supportive of the SHRM Code of Ethical and Professional Standards in Human Resource Management, as amended from time to time, a copy of which is attached hereto.
By submitting a request for a .jobs domain, you represent and warrant that you qualify to request registration of a second-level domain within the .jobs Top-Level Domain under the Charter language set forth above.
Appendix B - Product Categories
Applications for .jobs registrations are accepted only in the category(ies) listed below:
The “companyname” category.
For .jobs domains in this category, the Company must be an employer. The companyname category consists exclusively of those names which are, or include:
1. The legal trade name of the Company, or
2. A name by which the Company is commonly known.
By submitting an application for a .jobs domain, you represent and warrant to us that the string which comprises the requested domain name is, or includes, the legal trade name of your Company or a character string by which your Company is commonly known.
It is your burden to provide information evidencing the trade name or commonly known name of the Company. You represent and warrant that any information you submit to us for the purposes of verifying a trade name or a commonly known name is true and accurate and refers to the Company.
We will determine, in our sole discretion and in our sole judgment, whether or not an application for a .jobs domain name qualifies under these requirements. In making such a determination, we may obtain information from third-party sources. We may contact you (either directly or through your registrar) for additional information regarding the Company’s qualifications hereunder. Failure to respond within a reasonable period of time to our request for additional information will be a material breach of this Agreement and may result, in our sole discretion, in rejection of your application.
We will determine the level of information and/or proof required for verification of either a trade name or a commonly known name, and may employ different standards for each. For example, we may establish a higher standard of proof for applications based upon “commonly known” status as compared to “trade name” status. We reserve the right to establish all standards regarding information submitted for verification.
We are the sole entity which has the authority to verify any application under these requirements. All of our decisions relating to verification are final and unappealable.
You are under a continuing obligation, during the term of your .jobs registration, to maintain your trade name/commonly-known name. In the event Company’s trade name or commonly known name changes, ceases to be used or is otherwise modified during the term of your registration, you must notify us immediately and comply with all of our reasonable requests regarding provision of current verification information. In the event that a change, modification or cessation of use of a trade name or a commonly-known name results in non-compliance with any term or provision of this Agreement (e.g., if your .jobs domain no longer reflects Company’s trade name or commonly-known name), we may deem such non-compliance, in our sole discretion, a material breach of this Agreement.
Non-“companyname” category.
Non-“companyname” names are domains that are not company names, such as industry, occupation, geographic, dictionary terms and/or combinations thereof. Any .jobs domain allocated under this category is allocated under terms and conditions set forth at www.policy.jobs, www.rfp.jobs and elsewhere as set forth by us in our sole discretion.
