Effective Date: November 22, 2024
Welcome to the website and online services of SelectLeaders, LLC ("SelectLeaders," "we," or "us"). These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy govern your access to and use of the services provided through this website, www.selectleaders.com (the “Site”).
These Terms apply to all individuals and entities that access, use, or interact with the Services (collectively, “Users”). By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, regardless of whether you are a registered user, partner, or customer of the Services. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of your employer or another entity, you affirm that you have the legal authority to do so and to bind that employer or entity to these Terms.
We reserve the right to amend these Terms (including the Privacy Policy) at any time and will notify you as specified within these Terms. Your continued use of the Services after any such modifications signifies your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you are not permitted to access or use the Services.
SECTION 12 OF THESE TERMS CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, REQUIRING YOU TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, UNLESS YOU VALIDLY OPT OUT OF THIS PROVISION. SECTION 12 ALSO INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH MEANS YOU AGREE TO PURSUE ANY DISPUTE INDIVIDUALLY RATHER THAN AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS IN FULL, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.
The term "you," as used in these Terms, applies to visitors from the United States and Canada, who access the Site, as well as to individuals using the Services on their own behalf or on behalf of an organization.
Users who utilize the Services to seek prospective employees, review resumes, profiles, or CVs, and/or post and/or share job opportunities within the real estate sector ("Real Estate Jobs") for themselves or a third party (such as recruiters) are further defined as "Employers" in these Terms.
If you are using this Site on behalf of an employer, organization, agency, institution, or other entity, then (a) "you" encompasses both you and that entity, and (b) you confirm that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind it to these Terms, and you agree to these Terms on behalf of the entity.
If you use the Services to register for job alerts via text and/or email, or other available methods, or to upload cover letters, resumes, or CVs, or to search for or apply to Real Estate Jobs, you are referred to herein as a "Candidate."

D. User Accounts
This section applies to all User accounts. When you create or register an account with SelectLeaders, you control your profile information and interactions with the Services via the settings on your “My Profile” page. By creating your account or uploading information, you represent that all provided information is accurate and complete.

We may limit, condition, or suspend your access at any time, based on our sole determination that you have breached these Terms, committed fraud, or otherwise abused the Services.

SelectLeaders may investigate any reported content and take action as deemed necessary, without any obligation to act or liability for actions taken.
2. USER CONTENT AND USERS
A. Posting or Viewing User Content
The Services may permit Users to post or provide content viewable by other Users, including but not limited to Real Estate Jobs, screening criteria, company details, and application information from Candidates (collectively, "User Content").
User Content is solely the responsibility of the person or entity providing it. You are fully accountable for your User Content and any outcomes arising from posting, providing, or publishing it.
B. Prohibited Types of User Content
The following list provides examples of prohibited User Content but is not exhaustive. You agree not to post or provide User Content that:
- May create a risk of harm to any person or property;
- Offers instructions for illegal activities;
- Contains unsolicited messages, such as ‘phishing’ or ‘scamming’;
- Links to material that is illegal or offensive, or targets or solicits personal information from individuals under 18 or the legal age of majority;
- Is deemed unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, invasive of privacy, harassing, humiliating, libelous, threatening, profane, or otherwise objectionable;
- Contains information that is illegal, including but not limited to insider information under securities law or trade secrets;
- Contains information you do not have the legal right to make available under any law or contract;
- Contains false, misleading, or otherwise deceptive information;
- Violates the Intellectual Property Rights or privacy rights of any third party.
For these Terms, "Intellectual Property Rights" includes rights such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and any related rights, existing or future, and all registrations and renewals thereof in any jurisdiction. Employers submitting Real Estate Jobs further agree not to include personally identifiable information in job content.
C. No Warranties or Obligations
SelectLeaders does not make any promises, representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding content generated by third parties, including job postings, resumes, or communications between Users. You acknowledge that SelectLeaders is merely a conduit for distributing and publishing User Content and has no obligation to screen or verify it. Consequently, you accept that SelectLeaders is not responsible for User Content and bears no liability for its accuracy, legality, or truthfulness. You may encounter User Content that is incorrect, incomplete, illegal, or otherwise unsuited to your purposes, and it is your responsibility to assess its quality and reliability. Rely on User Content at your own risk.
SelectLeaders nevertheless reserves the right to reject or remove User Content or suspend any related User Account if the content appears to violate these Terms, applicable law, third-party rights, or may otherwise harm SelectLeaders.
D. User Content and the U.S. Communications Decency Act
In line with Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act ("CDA") (or equivalent laws in your jurisdiction), online service providers like SelectLeaders are generally not liable for third-party User Content (as per § 230(c)(1), which states that no provider of an interactive service shall be deemed the publisher of third-party information).
The decision by SelectLeaders to remove, restrict, or not display User Content does not indicate participation in the creation of such content and does not waive the immunity provided by the CDA. Further, § 230(c)(2) of the CDA stipulates that service providers cannot be held liable for actions taken in good faith to restrict access to content considered obscene, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.
E. User Interactions and Assumption of Risk
SelectLeaders does not confirm the identity of each User. As SelectLeaders does not authenticate Users, you are responsible for conducting due diligence before engaging with others, including Candidates and Employers. You assume all risks associated with your interactions. Should you have a dispute with another User, you agree to pursue remedies directly with them, releasing SelectLeaders and its affiliates, and the owners, officers, managers, directors, employees, and agents of each of them, from all claims, demands, and damages of any kind or nature arising from such interactions.
F. Content Disclosure
SelectLeaders may disclose User Content and associated information to third parties as part of operating the Services, to enforce these Terms, comply with legal requests (including without limitation from governmental authorities and law enforcement agencies, and/or in response to court orders and subpoenas), or protect SelectLeaders’s interests. You agree that SelectLeaders may reveal your identity to any party alleging that your User Content violates these Terms, is fraudulent, or infringes their rights, including intellectual property or privacy.
3. USER CONTENT LICENSE GRANT
By posting, submitting, or otherwise making available any User Content, you grant SelectLeaders a royalty-free, sublicensable, perpetual, transferable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, adapt, translate, publicly perform, display, create derivative works from, and otherwise exploit all such User Content, in whole or in part, through any form, media, or technology now known or hereafter developed. This license is granted for purposes of posting User Content on the Site, sharing it with Candidates and Employers, and promoting SelectLeaders and the Services. This license remains effective even if you discontinue using the Services.
If you are an Employer, you acknowledge that SelectLeaders is under no obligation, and may lack the ability, to remove Real Estate Jobs and other content you submit (including any logos or trademarks) and that the above license grant is perpetual and irrevocable. If your User Content includes any legally protected trademarks, trade names, or service marks, this license also extends to SelectLeaders’ use of such elements in promotional and marketing materials.
Additionally, if you authorize SelectLeaders to access certain User Content on another website or service you own or control, you consent to SelectLeaders scraping such site to retrieve the User Content for use on the Site or as required by the Services, despite any prohibitions on scraping set forth in these Terms or other contractual terms of that website.
If you grant SelectLeaders permission to send automated, personalized invitations or other User Content to Candidates on your behalf, you agree that SelectLeaders may use your name, likeness, and company information for those communications.
You confirm that you have the rights, authority, and permissions necessary to grant SelectLeaders the license described here for any User Content you provide, and that SelectLeaders’s use of your User Content will not infringe upon any third-party rights or violate any laws. You also affirm that your User Content is complete, accurate, and lawful.
4. OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
These Terms provide you with a limited license to access the Site and use the Services in accordance with these Terms. Accordingly, you agree that SelectLeaders does not transfer any ownership or intellectual property rights in the Services or related materials, including, but not limited to, software, programs, information, documentation, images, text, graphics, user interfaces, illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, audio, videos, and other content (collectively, "SelectLeaders Content"). All such SelectLeaders Content, along with the design, structure, coordination, “look and feel,” and arrangement of the Site, is exclusively owned, controlled, and/or licensed by SelectLeaders or its licensors.
The SelectLeaders logo, along with all other marks, are proprietary trademarks of SelectLeaders. You agree not to use these marks, including as domain names, account identifiers, or in connection with search engine optimization, without prior written permission from SelectLeaders. Except as explicitly provided within these Terms, no license to use SelectLeaders Content or intellectual property is created hereunder, and you agree not to sell, license, modify, distribute, copy, publicly display, or create derivative works from any content accessed through the Site or Services for any purpose not expressly permitted.
If you provide feedback regarding the Services or Site, including suggestions, comments, ideas, or recommendations (collectively, "Feedback"), such Feedback will be deemed to include a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, and non-exclusive license for SelectLeaders to use, reproduce, distribute, display, or act upon such Feedback globally, in any form, media, or technology now known or hereafter developed, for the full term of any rights in such Feedback. You waive any claims to the contrary and any moral rights to the extent permitted by law, consenting to any acts that would otherwise infringe on those rights. You further agree not to provide Feedback that is false, misleading, or in breach of any third-party agreement.
5. ADDITIONAL TERMS THAT APPLY TO CANDIDATES
Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQ”), which are incorporated into these Terms. If there is any conflict between the FAQ and these Terms, these Terms will prevail.
As a Candidate, you may (i) use the Services to search for Real Estate Jobs, (ii) apply for Real Estate Jobs, (iii) receive job alert emails or text messages where available, and (iv) include your cover letter, resume, or other relevant information in the SelectLeaders resume database (the “SelectLeaders Database”). For these Terms, the terms "resume" or "CV" encompass curriculum vitae, profiles, references, recommendations, and similar written overviews or assessments of a person's qualifications.
If you have a SelectLeaders account, submit your resume/CV to SelectLeaders, or sign up for Job Alerts, you agree that we may (A) use the information you provide to send you information about Real Estate Jobs of potential interest to you, and (B) share your resume/CV and profile information (if made searchable in the SelectLeaders Database) with Employers seeking candidates with your qualifications. You can elect not have your resume/CV and profile information searchable by navigating to your profile and toggle an “actively searching” flag. If the “actively searching” flag is not enabled, your resume/CV and profile information will not be shared in the database.
If you consent to share your resume/CV and information with prospective Employers by applying to a Real Estate Job or including your resume/CV in the SelectLeaders Database, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license (and right to sublicense) to use your resume/CV and other information as required to fulfill our services to you.
A. Job Applications in General
By applying to a Real Estate Job on the Site, you authorize SelectLeaders to store your information and share it (including your resume/CV) with the entity that posted the Real Estate Job. Ensure that the information provided is accurate, complete, and only contains details you are comfortable sharing.
If SelectLeaders sends a message to an Employer on your behalf or submits your job application, you acknowledge that SelectLeaders does not guarantee receipt, access, viewing, or response from the Employer, nor error-free data transmission. Any screening questions are controlled by the Employer, and if you need alternative screening arrangements, you must contact them directly.
B. Applying to Real Estate Jobs on the Site
When you apply for a Real Estate Job on the Site, SelectLeaders will send the resume associated with your account.
You are responsible for ensuring that your cover letter and/or resume are current, accurate, and updated before you apply for a Real Estate Job or make it available in the SelectLeaders Database, so Employers receive the latest information about you. SelectLeaders does not guarantee confidentiality or security of the information shared with Employers.
To delete a cover letter, click on “Manage Profile & Settings” within your account. Select “Manage Cover Letters” and use the dropdown menu to select the cover letter to be removed. Use the delete button to remove it from the system. To delete a resume, click on “Manage Profile & Settings” and select “Manage Resumes”. Use the delete link to remove the resume from your account and the SelectLeaders Database.
C. Account Creation
Registering your email address on our site allows you to view Real Estate Jobs. Full registration, which is free, enables you to apply to Real Estate Jobs and set up email Job Alerts. Click here to register.
To delete your account, please send an email to customerservice@selectleaders.com with the subject line of “Account Removal Request”. A member of the team will follow up with the request via email and the account will be disabled for 30 days. After 30 days, the account will be purged from the system.
D. Job Alerts
Job Alerts let you define criteria for Real Estate Jobs you wish to be notified about by email. Candidates can opt in to receive job alert emails to be among the first to apply for relevant job postings, potentially increasing their selection chances. After registration, you can set up Job Alerts by logging in, clicking “Create New Job Alerts,” running a search, and selecting “Create Job Alert.” This is a free service. To unsubscribe, go to “Manage Job Alerts” within your account.
E. SelectLeaders Database
The SelectLeaders Database feature allows Candidates to store their resume/CV and other profile information on the Site.
Employers can view candidate information only when a Candidate has applied to a job with a resume and cover letter or has uploaded a resume with permission for Employers to search within the SelectLeaders Database. Once you delete your resume from your account, it will be removed from the SelectLeaders Database. However, if an entity has already accessed or saved your resume, they may retain that information. For additional details on privacy, please refer to the Privacy Policy.
F. Interactions with Other Users; Scams; Confidentiality
You are solely responsible for interactions with Users who contact you or whom you contact. Please note that there are risks, including physical harm, when interacting with strangers, who may act under false pretenses. Be cautious about the information you choose to share in your User Profile, job application, or resume/CV, and only list contact information you are comfortable disclosing.
Alongside reviewing this section and Section 2, you are encouraged to conduct your own due diligence on potential Employers and Real Estate Jobs. SelectLeaders does not authenticate Users or guarantee job suitability or legitimacy.
If you have concerns about a communication received from a potential employer (especially unsolicited messages), a specific Real Estate Job on the Site, or a suspected fraudulent job, take the following steps:
- Immediately contact SelectLeaders at info@selectleaders.com and do not respond to the sender;
- Conduct an internet search on the company and individual contacting you to verify authenticity;
i. Scammers often use legitimate company selectleaderss to deceive job seekers. Locate the official human resources or recruiting email of the company and verify the connection of the individual contacting you. Suspicious email domains should prompt further checks.
ii. An internet search may reveal complaints about the individual or company.
iii. U.S. Candidates can verify complaints with entities like the Better Business Bureau or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which provides guidance on job scams at https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams.
iv. Canadian Candidates can use resources like the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/ce.htm and provincial consumer protection websites.
- Report any suspicious email to the fraud department of the email provider, such as Yahoo (mail-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com), Google (abuse@googlemail.com), or Hotmail (report_spam@hotmail.com).
- If you disclosed bank details or received funds, contact your bank to stop transactions and seek further guidance, then file a police report.
- U.S. Candidates should file a complaint with the FTC, their State Attorney General, or local Consumer Protection Agency, with resources at https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams.
- Canadian Candidates can report to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) at http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm.
If a job offer seems too good to be true, carefully verify its authenticity before responding or taking action.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of red flags indicating potential fraud:
- Job offers made immediately after submitting a resume, without an interview;
- Claims that a resume was found online, with an immediate job offer rather than an invitation to apply;
- Sending a check to the applicant with instructions to deposit and return a portion;
- Requests for payments for training or materials;
- Requests for personal or financial information not included in the resume/CV;
- Poorly written emails with misspellings, grammatical errors, or urgent requests for acceptance;
- Offers of senior roles or high salaries unrelated to the applied position;
- Detailed job descriptions lacking candidate criteria.

For additional Services or plan upgrades, you will be invoiced or your selected payment method will be charged accordingly.
Late payments may incur interest at 1.5% per month (18% annually) or the highest allowable rate, accruing from the payment due date until settled in full.

Cancellation requests must follow instructions on the Site or via the next section. Automatic renewals will be charged to your payment method on file, or invoiced.
Cancel your plan by emailing customersupport@selectleaders.com. To avoid further charges, complete the cancellation before your next billing date. Cancellation is effective at the end of the billing period, after which access to content and features under your plan will be discontinued.

12. ARBITRATION
A. Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or related to these Terms, including any dispute regarding the interpretation, construction or application of any term or provision of these Terms, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted before, and an award rendered by, a panel of three arbitrators, all of whom shall be members in good standing of the New York bar, licensed to practice law, and actively engaged in the practice of law for at least 10 years. Within 15 days following the filing of an arbitration proceeding, each party shall select one person to act as its arbitrator, and the two party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within ten days of their appointment. The two party-selected arbitrators will serve in a neutral capacity. If the party-selected arbitrators are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within the time provided, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by law. The arbitrators may award to the prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrators, a just portion of the costs and fees associated with the arbitration. The term “costs and fees” means all pre-award expenses of the arbitration, including arbitrators’ fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses, witness fees and attorney’s fees and costs.
B. Discovery. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each party will, upon the written request of the other party, provide the other party with copies of all documents relevant to the issues raised by any claim or counterclaim, as well as all documents on which the producing party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim or defense. Parties shall produce all responsive documents within 15 days following the receipt of a written request for production. The term “documents” includes paper documents as well as electronically stored information. In addition to written requests for the production of documents, each party may propound one set of interrogatories, consisting of not more than 20 questions (including sub-parts), upon the other party, which the other party shall answer under oath within ten days following receipt. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrators, which determination shall be conclusive. All discovery shall be completed within 60 days following the appointment of the arbitrators.
C. Depositions. At the request of a party, the arbitrators shall have the discretion to order examination by deposition of witnesses to the extent the arbitrators deem such additional discovery relevant and appropriate. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of six witnesses per party and shall be held within 30 days of the making of a request. Additional depositions may be scheduled with the permission of the arbitrators upon a showing of good cause. Each deposition shall be limited to a maximum duration of three hours, and shall take place in New York, NY. All objections to questions posed during deposition are reserved for the arbitration hearing, except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or confidential information.
D. Injunctions. Either party may, without waiving any remedy under these Terms or otherwise waiving the arbitrability of a dispute, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, provisional or injunctive relief that may be necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the decision of the panel of arbitrators.
E. Appeals. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Section, the parties agree that any decision or award by the arbitrators may be appealed pursuant to the American Arbitration Association’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (“Appellate Rules”); that any decision or award by the arbitrators shall, at a minimum, be a reasoned decision and award; and that any decision or award by the arbitrators shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within 30 days of receipt of any decision or award by the arbitrators, as defined by Rule A-3 of the Appellate Rules, by filing a Notice of Appeal with any American Arbitration Association office. Following the appeal process the decision and award rendered by the appeal tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
