Agreement for Organizations

Thank you for signing up to create an Organization Account on the Magnet™ Platform (https://poweredbymagnet.ca). The Magnet Platform is a targeted opportunity and communications matching technology that enables you to post jobs, search for individuals who have the qualifications you are looking for, and receive targeted opportunities and communications based on your needs, interests and preferences. The Magnet Platform connects and informs businesses, other organizations and job seekers, and the community organizations, schools, businesses and governments that serve them. Our goal is to help you make the most valuable marketplace connections and provide you with timely, valuable information.

You may not create or maintain an Organization Account on the Magnet Platform (1) from and after May 25, 2018, if you are located in a member state of the European Union or the United Kingdom, or (2) if you are, or represent, a Job Board or similar business.

In this Agreement, “we” “us” and “our” means WhoPlusYou Inc. which provides the Magnet Platform, the technology that powers the Magnet Network. Magnet is a social initiative of Toronto Metropolitan University that is committed to advancing careers, businesses and communities.
