These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the access to and use of the ShakeTheMap website and platform (“Platform”) operated by NAAS S.à. r.l., a société à responsabilité limitée simplifiée incorporated under Luxembourg law, with its registered office at 370, route de Thionville L-5884 Hesperange (“ShakeTheMap”, “we”, “us” or “the Company”).

By accessing the Platform, browsing the site, or creating an account, you (“User”, “you”) expressly agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you are not authorized to use the Platform and must cease access immediately.

1. Purpose of the Platform

    • For recruiters: creating and publishing job offers, viewing anonymized candidate profiles, tracking received applications, and communicating with candidates via a secure internal messaging system.

  2. Recruiter addresses are displayed precisely on the map accessible by candidates to allow accurate geographic searches.
  3. When accessing a map, a User may choose to enable precise geolocation:

  5. Credits may also be used for additional services if the Platform introduces such options in the future.
