They apply to all services provided by Zalvus to the applicant, even if they are not separately agreed again.
2. Services provided by Zalvus
2.1. Zalvus offers a convenient recruiting platform. The use of Zalvus is possible for candidates without registration and free of charge.

Similarly, the candidate is not entitled to a statement of the decision parameters used by Zalvus.
2.3. Zalvus does not make a final decision about the filling of the vacancy of its customers. In this respect, Zalvus does not bear any responsibility for the success of an application submitted or forwarded by Zalvus to its customers.
2.4. Zalvus offers within the "Candidate Service Plus" program to introduce the candidate to companies that offer job openings. This service is free of charge for the candidate.
