Our mission is to help jobseekers to get found by companies and other employers. Our goal is to simplify the job seeking process by minimizing, if not removing, the middleman.
uCV is the name of the platform, currently online at the websites ucv.online. Development, management and the trademark/brand are owned by
Corsidia SB Srl and Bluebash Consulting Private Limited. Details on the two owning companies are available at the bottom of each page of the websites, including this one.
The “uCV” trademark is registered at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) with code 018140821.
Except where otherwise indicated, the Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license is applied to contents, while the MIT license is applied to the source code.
uCV is hereby also referred to as the “ Service ” or the “ Services ”.
Registered users are referred to as “Users” while non registered visitors are referred to as “Guests”.
Using this website you are a Guest until you sign up with your email and password, at that point you became a User.
The user profile is also referred to as “uCV” (with a lowercase “p” ), to create a profile you have to accept this agreement and its attachments (privacy policy, cookie policy and linked documents).
Please note that a uCV is is not a proper curriculum vitae as it doesn’t contain the same sensible data.
The downloaded uCV in PDF format does contain all the data inserted by the user, hence, can be considered a proper curriculum vitae.
This agreement grants the User full ownership of their uCV in terms of:
The CC BY 4.0 license states that:
The MIT licence states that :
You can end this licence for specific content deleting such content from the Services or closing/deleting your account.
The user profile is hereby referred to as the “uCV”.
uCV can offer a wide array of services. Among these, the core service hereby defined will always be free and unrestricted (except in the event of abuse).
The core service is defined as follows:
The business model of uCV, hence the paid services, will be built around the core service, hence, leaving the core service free of charge. An example of paid service built
around the main one would be the ability to contact many candidates at the same time, provided they are selected by an advanced search criteria, sending the same message to all of them. In this case the need to protect them from spam and other abuses arises. One solution is to offer this kind of service as a paid service, with a reasonable fee.
As stated at paragraph 1.1, the uCV project is currently a joint effort between Corsidia and Bluebash. As such, it does NOT qualify as a legal entity yet. uCV will become a stand-alone Company with a distinct legal entity after it becomes a profitable-enough project.
In case uCV will satisfy this profitability requirement, it will be established as a Benefit Corporation or “B-CORP” as defined by the law. Please note that Corsidia is already a benefit corporation.
The Services are not for use by anyone under the age of 18.
To use the Services, you agree that: (1) you must be the “Minimum Age” (described below) or older; (2) you will only have one uCV account, which must be in your real name; and (3) you are not already restricted by uCV from using the Services. Creating an account with false information is a violation of our terms, including accounts registered on behalf of others or persons under the age of 18.
“Minimum Age” means 18 years old. However, if law requires that you must be older in order for uCV to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using of your personal data) then the Minimum Age is such older age.
Users are account holders. You agree to: (1) use a strong password and keep it confidential; (2) follow the law and our list of Dos and Don’ts and Professional Community Policies. You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse.
As between you and others (including your employer), your account belongs to you. However, if the Services were purchased by another party for you to use (e.g. Recruiter seat bought by your employer), the party paying for such Service has the right to control access to and get reports on your use of such paid Service; however, they do not have rights to your personal account.
As stated on paragraph 1.3 the core service is free of charge.
If you buy any of our paid Services (“Premium Services”), you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes and to additional terms specific to the paid Services. Failure to pay these fees will result in the termination of your paid Services. Also, you agree that:
Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates).
We may store and continue billing your payment method (e.g. credit card) even after it has expired, to avoid interruptions in your Services and to use to pay other Services you may buy.
If you purchase a subscription, your payment method automatically will be charged at the start of each subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. To avoid future charges, cancel before the renewal date. Learn how to cancel or suspend your Premium Services.
All of your purchases of Services are subject to uCV’s refund policy.
We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase.
You can get a copy of your invoice through your uCV account settings under “Purchase History”.
You agree that we will provide notices and messages to you in the following ways: (1) within the Service, or (2) sent to the contact information you provided us (e.g., email, mobile number, physical address). You agree to keep your contact information up to date.
Please review your settings to control and limit messages you receive from us.
Messages necessary to provide the core service, as defined in paragraph 1.3 will always be granted.
Our Services allow messaging and sharing of information in many ways, such as your profile, articles, group posts, links to news articles, job postings, messages and InMails. Information and content that you share or post may be seen by other Users, Guests or others (including off of the Services). Where we have made settings available, we will honor the choices you make about who can see content or information (e.g., message content to your addressees, sharing content only to uCV connections, restricting your profile visibility from search engines, or opting not to notify others of your uCV profile update). For job searching activities, we default to not notifying your connections network or the public. So, if you apply for a job through our Service or opt to signal that you are interested in a job, our default is to share it only with the job poster.
We are not obligated to publish any information or content on our Service and can remove it with or without notice.
As between you and uCV, you own the content and information that you submit or post to the Services licensed by the CC BY 4.0 license.
You can end this license for specific content by deleting such content from the Services, or generally by closing your account, except (a) to the extent you shared it with others as part of the Service and they copied, re-shared it or stored it and (b) for the reasonable time it takes to remove from backup and other systems.
We will not include your content in advertisements for the products and services of third parties to others without your separate consent (including sponsored content). However, we have the right, without payment to you or others, to serve ads near your content and information, and your social actions may be visible and included with ads, as noted in the Privacy Policy. If you use a Service feature, we may mention that with your name or photo to promote that feature within our Services, subject to your settings.
We will get your consent if we want to give others the right to publish your content beyond the Services. However, if you choose to share your post as "public", we will enable a feature that allows other Users to embed that public post onto third-party services, and we enable search engines to make that public content findable though their services.
