1. When paying for advertising services by Cheque, Money Order and/or Electronic Funds Transfer, all amounts owing to Melbourne Environmental Jobs Network (ABN 93 462 604 543) ("EJN") by Advertisers must be paid within 7 business days of the date of invoice notwithstanding any errors or omissions in any advertisement placed on the EJN Site. EJN may charge Advertisers interest on late payment at the rate of 12.5% per annum.

2. Before posting an advertisement for a paid employment vacancy, the Advertiser must buy Advertising Credit. Each Advertising Credit gives the holder rights to post one advertisement, subject to clause 4. All unused credit expires in 90 days from purchase. There are no refunds for unused credit.

3. ABN registered, charitable, not-for-profit institutions may be eligible to receive a discount on fees ordinarily charged by EJN for advertising services at EJN's discretion.

a) To receive this discount, Advertisers must apply directly to the EJN Account Manager. EJN will verify such Advertisers’ status and additional information before approving their accounts. Thereafter, the discount will automatically be applied to transactions undertaken by approved account holders.

b) When charitable, not-for-profit discount status is granted, the discount is valid from the time of approval onwards, but does not apply retrospectively to fees already paid for advertisements posted.

c) Advertisers who have been granted discount status may only use advertising credits purchased at a discount to advertise employment vacancies within the organisation specified on the Advertiser’s registration form. Advertisements placed relating to positions within other organisations will attract the full advertising fee plus an administrative fee of $16.50 including GST.

d) EJN may vary its policy relating to charitable, not-for-profit organisations by giving 14 days notice in writing to those organisations that are registered under this clause at the time of such a variation. EJN may vary prices and discount rates without notice.

4. EJN offers employers the opportunity to place advertisements for job vacancies that are relevant to job seekers with a desire to work for the benefit of the environment, or of sustainability more generally. Advertisers must ensure that advertisements posted to the Site are appropriate to such job seekers. Specifically, advertised vacancies must fulfil one or more of the following criteria:

a) the advertised vacancy is one which requires a candidate or candidates with an educational or experiential background in an explicitly environmental or sustainability-related area.

b) the advertised vacancy offers the successful candidate(s) the opportunity to make a direct and meaningful contribution to the environment and/or a sustainable economy.

c) the advertised vacancy offers the successful candidate(s) the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to an organisation the primary focus of which organisation is environmental improvement and/or sustainability.

5. EJN reserves the right to withdraw without notice to the Advertiser any advertisement that appears to EJN not to fulfil one or more of the criteria above. In such a case EJN will, at its own discretion, either refund to the Advertiser the amount paid minus an administration fee of $16.50 (incl. GST), or grant to the advertiser one advertising credit for every withdrawn advertisement.

6. EJN makes every effort to avoid errors in advertisements it has agreed to post to the Site. However, EJN accepts no responsibility or liability for any errors and requires that Advertisers check their advertisements for errors as soon as they are placed on the Site(s). All reasonable efforts will be undertaken by EJN to edit errors brought to EJN's attention as soon as reasonably possible.

13. As a condition of using any services supplied by EJN, Advertisers must comply with the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Act 1986 (C'th) and all anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation applicable in the State or Territory in which they conduct business. Where an exemption to comply with the legislation has been granted, the exemption number must be included in the advertisement submitted to EJN.

14. Whilst EJN does not review every advertisement posted to its Site, it reserves the right to withdraw without notice to the Advertiser any advertisement that is or appears to EJN to be contrary to law. EJN will not accept advertisements that appear to be contrary to law. Further, EJN reserves the right to either reject or remove any advertisement from its Site for any reason whatsoever.
