This Terms and Conditions of Use agreement (“Usage Agreement”) will form a binding contract between you (or the company you are acting on behalf of, either, “You” or “Your”) and the Career Center of the American Musicological Society (AMS).

Postings/Submissions
This site makes no guarantees as to the level of success a user may achieve by using this site or its services. Certain third-party partners may make such performance guarantees. Otherwise, you shall not be entitled to any refund, rebate, or retribution for usage that you determine to be unsuccessful.
No party may upload offensive, discriminatory, or incendiary items, hyperlinks, or materials. Additionally, no items may be uploaded that are designed to damage the Career Center website or the computers of its users (e.g. viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, etc.) or designed to crack the system or extract protected data.
Clients may not use the service to post any job requirement or description that would (i) disqualify or discourage any applicant on the basis of such applicant’s race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and related conditions, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (forty or older), disability, or genetic information; or (ii) shows a preference for or discourages someone from applying for a job because of his or her race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information. The only exception to this rule is the rare instance when it is reasonably necessary to fill a particular position with a person of a particular sex, religion, or national origin to carry out a particular job function in the normal operation of the client’s business. The AMS reserves the right to remove or decline to post any item that violates this policy.
International Payment Processing
As part of our commitment to enhancing service delivery and ensuring compliance with local regulations, AMS utilizes local entities and gateways for processing transactions in different countries. This means that the name of the AMS-affiliated entity processing your payment may differ depending on your location.
By continuing to use our services, you acknowledge and agree that the processing entity may vary depending on your geographic location and that the applicable entity will be responsible for processing your payment. You likewise acknowledge that you may incur an additional or variable fee for payment processing depending on your locality and applicable local taxes and fees.
