Enkling platform’s Notices and Messages
You’re okay with us providing notices and messages to you through our websites, apps, and contact information. If your contact information is out of date, you may miss out on important notices.
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).

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 Members, Visitors 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 Enkling connections, restricting your profile visibility from search engines, or opting not to notify others of your Enkling 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.

Enkling | Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
In the unlikely event we end up in a legal dispute, depending on where you live, you and Enkling agree to resolve it in London, UK courts using EU law, Dublin, Ireland courts using Irish law, or in your local courts using local law.
If you live in the Designated Countries, the laws of Ireland govern all claims related to Enkling provision of the Services, but this shall not deprive you of the mandatory consumer protections under the law of the country to which we direct your Services where you have habitual residence. With respect to jurisdiction, you and Enkling agree to choose the courts of the country to which we direct your Services where you have habitual residence for all disputes arising out of or relating to this User Agreement, or in the alternative, you may choose the responsible court in Ireland.
For others outside of Designated Countries, including those who live outside of the United Kingdom: You and Enkling agree that the laws of the United Kingdom, excluding its conflict of laws rules, shall exclusively govern any dispute relating to this Contract and/or the Services. You and Enkling both agree that all claims and disputes can be litigated only in London, United Kingdom , and you and Enkling each agree to personal jurisdiction in those courts
Here are some important details about the Contract.
General Terms, If a court with authority over this Contract finds any part of it unenforceable, you and we agree that the court should modify the terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the court cannot do that, you and we agree to ask the court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of this Contract.
This Contract (including additional terms that may be provided by us when you engage with a feature of the Services) is the only agreement between us regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements for the Services.
If we don't act to enforce a breach of this Contract, that does not mean that Enkling has waived its right to enforce this Contract. You may not assign or transfer this Contract (or your membership or use of Services) to anyone without our consent. However, you agree that Enkling may assign this Contract to its affiliates or a party that buys it without your consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Contract.
