About Hedgy & Terms

Hedgy Labs, Inc. (“Hedgy” “us” “we” or “our”), through its website located at hedgy.works (the “Site”), enables employers seeking to fill open job positions (“Employers” and such open positions, “Positions”) to share Positions with Hedgy. Users who are registered with Hedgy (“Candidates”) are able to nominate other individuals to join Hedgy. If a Candidate is accepted for a Position, Employers will pay a fee (a “Bonus”) to Hedgy in addition to any ongoing subscription fee to access Hedgy.

This document outlines the terms pursuant to which a Candidate (“you” or “your”) is permitted to use our Site, platform and services (all together the “Services”) to get connected with Positions.

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by the Terms as well as Hedgy’s Privacy Policy, available at https://www.hedgy.works/privacy-policy (the “Privacy Policy”). If you don’t agree to the Terms, you are not permitted to engage with a Position via the Services.

2. Changes to Terms or Services

We may modify the Terms at any time, at our sole discretion, by posting the modified Terms on the Site. Because our Services are evolving over time, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
