Indeed Affiliate Acceptable Use Policy
1. General. This Indeed Affiliate Acceptable Use Policy ('AAUP') is
applicable to affiliates ('Affiliates') of Indeed, Inc. ('Indeed') who publish
on their websites, or provide links from their websites to web pages that
contain, any of the following elements provided by Indeed (collectively,
'Program Elements'): job search results, JobrollTM, Job Search Box, pay-per-click
advertisements, links, insertion code, and any Indeed logos or other elements
supplied by Indeed for use on Affiliates' websites or websites co-branded by
Indeed and Affiliate. Affiliates include the party publishing the results
and/or any agency or network acting on its (or their) behalf, which shall also
be bound by the terms of this AAUP.
2. Restricted Websites. Program Elements may not be published on, or
linked by Affiliate from, any website that: (a) is under construction,
incomplete or non-functioning; (b) contains material that infringes or misappropriates
the rights, including copyright, of others; (c) contains pornographic, obscene,
defamatory, violent, or hate-oriented material; (d) promotes spam; or (e) is

or activities; or (f) engages in any other activities, whether lawful or unlawful,
that Indeed determines are harmful to Indeed's reputation, goodwill, other affiliates,
customers or operations.
3. Location and Delivery of

Element on any single Web page without prior authorization in writing from
Indeed; (ii) any Program Element on a Web page that does not contain
substantial content other than the Jobroll itself; or (iii) any Program Element
on a page published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, irrespective
of the page content. Affiliate shall not serve Program Elements on, or link to
web pages that contain Program Elements from, any: (a) downloadable software
application without the written consent of Indeed; (b) software that can
trigger pop-ups, redirect users to unwanted websites, modify browser settings,
or otherwise interfere with site navigation; (c) Web site that is not directly

counters, chatrooms, guestbooks, domain parking websites, pop-ups or
pop-unders. Any use of Indeed's XML Application Programming Interface ('API') by

restrictions on sizes of requests, frequency, and query complexity.
4. Prohibited Activities. Affiliate shall not:(a) modify the Program
Elements without written consent from Indeed; (b) place notices in proximity to
any Program Element to encourage or require users to click on or use the
services (Affiliates may, however, state: 'click here to visit our sponsor' or
'to visit our advertiser, click here'); (c) label Program Elements with text
other than 'powered by Indeed' or 'ads by Indeed' or include any text in
proximity to the Program Elements that could be confused with, or be associated
with Program Elements; (d) use deceptive or unnatural means to draw attention
to or incite clicks or use of Program Elements; (e) require users to click on a
Program Element prior to entering an Affiliate website or any area therein or
provide incentives of any nature to encourage or require users to click on or
otherwise use Program Elements; (f) engage in any method to artificially and/or
fraudulently inflate the volume of impressions or clicks associated with
Program Elements or other sponsored advertising, including but not limited to:
repeated manual clicks; the use of robots or other automated query tools and/or
computer-generated search requests; automatic redirecting of users; using
pop-up windows or any other technique of generating automatic or fraudulent (as
determined by Indeed, acting reasonably, based on industry practices)
click-throughs and/or impressions; (g) use frames, or otherwise alter the user
experience, when a user clicks through to another website from the Indeed job
search results; (h) redistribute the job search results or any part thereof to
any third party, other than the provision of the job search results on
Affiliate's website to the end users of that website that generated it; or (i)
store any job search content.
5. Passwords, API Keys and Other Security Devices.
If Indeed provides an Affiliate with a password, API key or other security
device to obtain access to Program Elements or any non-public area of Indeed's
web site or system, that Affiliate shall maintain the confidentiality of that
password, API key or other security device, not share it or access to any such
non-public areas with any third party, or use it for any unauthorized purpose.

necessary to correct and prevent impermissible use of the Program Elements,
including without limitation, providing Indeed with all information necessary
to investigate the suspected violation.

right to modify this AAUP at any time, as it deems appropriate in its sole
