CodersLink is an online service that connects Employers with Coders through a non-binding match interview request process for an Employer’s needs. As an Employer, you have the opportunity to be matched to different Coders that have already been certified by CodersLink. You may submit interview requests (“Requests”) with any Coders on our Service that you feel may be a fit for your company. However, these Requests are non-binding and do not create a binding employment contract. The match only acts as a tool for Employers to explore candidate opportunities without obligation.
As a Coder, you have an opportunity to receive interview requests (“Requests”) from different Employers using CodersLink in the Unites States, where you will negotiate with transparency as to role and compensation in United States Dollars for each interview request. The match process is non-binding and does not create any contractual obligations between the Employer and the Coder. The match shall only serve as a tool for Coders to explore opportunities without obligation. A US-Membership Fee (as defined in Section 6 below) will only be collected from you in accordance with Section 6 and after you have successfully placed a job with a Employer.
In registering for an account on the Site, you agree to (1) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services’ registration form (“Registration Data”), and (2) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You are responsible for all activities that occur under and by your account. If you provide any Content that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, and/or CodersLink has reasonable grounds to suspect that such Content is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, CodersLink has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site or Service. You agree not to create an account using a false identity or information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself. You agree that you shall not have more than one account.

Furthermore, you agree to provide us with any other identifying documents that we may request. We may also allow you to use a third-party service such as Github, LinkedIn or Twitter to register at our sole discretion. We will review the information that you provide to us during the registration process and we may also review any other information about you that is publicly available.

When using our Site and Service:
Employer’s Role
After an Employer’s registration has been accepted by us, the Employer will be able to browse the Coders on our Site, communicate with these Coders, and submit preliminary non-binding Requests.
Once an Employer has discovered a Coder on our Site or Service, the Employer agrees to communicate exclusively with the Coder through our Site and Service for at least twelve (12) months after the discovery. The Employer agrees not to attempt to circumvent our Site and Service by independently attempting to communicate and hire the Coder through alternative means after discovering the Coder on our Site or Service.
Coder’s Role
After a Coder has registered and created a profile on CodersLink, he or she will be able to receive a request using software made available by us through the Service. Employers will have the opportunity to engage with Coders for their services through the Request process. At the conclusion of the Request process the Coder may, but is not required to, contact any Employer that made a Request to him or her. All offers by Employers through our Site and Service are non-binding until the Coder accepts the offer. The Coder must comply with this Agreement, and any other rules or instructions from CodersLink, when conducting a match.
Our Role
Any agreements created between an Employer and a Coder are not binding on us in any manner. We are simply a platform and offer the Service to help create and facilitate relationships. We are not liable for, or obligated to enforce, any agreements between an Employer and a Coder. You will not consider CodersLink, nor will CodersLink be construed as, a party to such transactions, whether or not CodersLink receives some form of remuneration in connection with the transaction, and CodersLink will not be liable for any costs or damages arising out of or related to such transaction.
No contractual obligations are created for either the Coder or the Employer through the use of the Service. The Coder is not obligated to accept any Request at all. Additionally, Requests submitted by an Employer to a Coder through the Request process are not binding on the Employer. At the end of the Request process the Coder may choose which Employer, if any, he or she wishes to contact.
The Coder agrees to pay the US-Membership fee charged to Coder’s account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time the US-Membership Fee is due and payable hereunder. Coders are required to complete the required paperwork allowing CodersLink to directly pull monthly payments or whichever payment schedule is being utilized at the time.
The Employer agrees to pay the monthly fees charged in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time the payment is due and payable hereunder. Employers are required to complete the required paperwork allowing CodersLink to directly pull monthly payments or whichever payment schedule is being utilized at the time.

THE SITE AND SERVICE ARE PROVIDED TO YOU AS IS, FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY. CODERSLINK PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE RELEASING US FROM ANY LIABILITY THAT WE MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO YOU IN RELATION TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, OUR SITE OR OUR SERVICE, FOR REASONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FAILURE OF OUR SERVICE, OR NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER TORT.

We respect the First Amendment and allow our Users to create Content which is user-generated. However, this is an online community so please be respectful and reasonable while communicating with others. Since third parties independently upload their Content to our Site and our Service, we are not liable for any defamatory Content posted on our Site if published by a third party. Although we may choose to edit or delete any clearly defamatory Content, we are not required to, and we reserve all defenses for such speech made available to us by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, applicable statutes, the common law, and the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
Any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Agreement where the total amount of the award sought is less than Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $5,000.00) may be resolved in a cost-effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. Such arbitration shall be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section and under the rules of such ADR Provider, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Agreement. The party demanding arbitration will propose an ADR Provider and the other party shall not unreasonably withhold consent to use such ADR Provider. The ADR Provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (1) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (2) all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English; (3) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties; and (4) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located may be different from Texas law, including the laws governing what can legally be sold, bought, exported, offered or imported. You shall always comply with all the international and domestic laws, ordinances, regulations and statutes that are applicable to your use of the Site or the Service.
Any other dispute (including whether the claims asserted are subject to arbitration) shall be referred to and finally determined by binding and confidential arbitration. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”).
You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
You and CodersLink must abide by the following rules: (i) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR CodersLink MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (ii) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (iii) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, the CodersLink will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (iv) CodersLink also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (v) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (vi) the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for the purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (vii) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (viii) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by applicable law.
The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other than English will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or true copy thereof. The English language version will control. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount, or other than the types, allowed by Section 12 of the Terms. Judgment on the award of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief it deems just and equitable and within the scope of the Agreement, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by Texas law or United States federal law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or CodersLink may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in San Antonio, Texas. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in San Antonio, Texas, in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San Antonio, Texas for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
With the exception of the provision above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the provision prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor the Company shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in San Antonio, Texas. By using the Site or the Service in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration provision.
For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.
You agree that we are not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, postal disruption, communication disruption, failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it. If two or more provisions of this Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, CodersLink shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.
We reserve all rights permitted to us under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or the any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.
We may suspend the Service or your account or any other provision of services to you, and we may terminate this Agreement, at our discretion without explanation and notice, though we will strive to provide a timely explanation in most cases. If you wish to terminate this Agreement, you may do so by notifying CodersLink at any time and closing your account for the Service. Your notice should be sent in writing, in accordance with the Notice Section below. Termination of the Agreement may result in the immediate deletion of any Content that you have submitted to CodersLink. CodersLink will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Content or Your Content. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, US-Membership fee provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
You may not assign your rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party at our discretion.
Where CodersLink requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing CodersLink with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to CodersLink is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required or permitted by this Agreement, CodersLink’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to CodersLink at the following address: Mexican Talent, Inc., 5918 Rubicon Run, Austin, TX 78745, ATT: CodersLink. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by CodersLink by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
The Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
The communications between you and CodersLink use electronic means, whether you visit the Site or the Service or send CodersLink e-mails, or whether CodersLink posts notices on the Site or Service or communications with you via 3-mail. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from CodersLink in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms, conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that CodersLink provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.
