Terms of service

Version 0.1.0 · Last updated: 2026-04-30

1. Introduction and acceptance

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLC(“Called 2 Work,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account, accepting an invitation, or otherwise using the service at called2work.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Called 2 Work is an invitation-gated job board for a faith-based community. The dual-view design lets non-members search anonymized listings without contact details, while members and business owners can see full information, communicate, and transact. These Terms describe the rules that keep the chain of trust intact for everyone.

These Terms incorporate by reference the Privacy policy and (when published) the Cookie policy and Acceptable Use Policy.

2. Eligibility

called2work.com is an invitation-gated service. To register or use the service you must:

  • Be 18 or older. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to register, regardless of jurisdiction. We may verify age at signup and at any time afterward, and we will terminate any account we discover belongs to a person under 18.
  • Hold a valid invitation from an existing member, or, for business owners, be vouched for by another business owner who is already a member in good standing. Membership is by invitation only and is not transferable.
  • Provide accurate registration information and keep it current. You may not register more than one account or hold an account on behalf of another person without that person's informed consent.
  • Not be barred from receiving the service under the export-control, sanctions, or anti-money-laundering laws applicable to called2work.com, and not be the subject of an active enforcement order from called2work.com that prohibits registration.

Service availability

The service is not offered in mainland China. Users in mainland China should not register, and signup is technically blocked from mainland Chinese IP addresses. Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan are not affected by this gate. We currently do not accept signups from the United Kingdom either, pending appointment of a UK GDPR Article 27 representative; when that gate is lifted, this section will be updated. The full list of jurisdictions where signup is currently restricted at the application layer:

  • United Kingdom — Signup is geo-blocked from the United Kingdom until a UK GDPR Article 27 representative is appointed
  • China (mainland) — Mainland China is out of scope; signup is geo-blocked and the Terms of Service state the service is not offered in mainland China

3. Your account

You are responsible for safeguarding the credentials that access your account, including any magic-link emails sent to you. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access. We will not be liable for any loss arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.

You may close your account at any time from your profile, which triggers the soft-delete and 30-day hard-delete sequence described in the privacy policy. Some information may be retained for legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention purposes after closure; see the retention schedule in the privacy policy for details.

We may suspend or terminate your account, and revoke any pending invitations you have issued, if we determine that you have violated these Terms or that suspension is necessary to protect the service or other members. We will, where practical and not counterproductive to the underlying investigation, give you notice and an opportunity to respond before suspension.

4. Member conduct

The service depends on the chain of trust that brought you in. The following activities are prohibited and may result in suspension, termination, removal of content, revocation of any pending invitations you issued, or referral to law enforcement where the underlying conduct is criminal:

  • Posting discriminatory, fraudulent, or illegal job listings, including listings that condition employment on protected characteristics in violation of applicable law.
  • Misrepresenting your identity, your employer, your role, or the nature of any position you post or apply for.
  • Harassing, threatening, doxing, or targeting any other member, business, applicant, or moderator.
  • Scraping, mass-downloading, or automated indexing of any part of the service, including the public anonymized listing surface, without prior written permission.
  • Circumventing the invitation gate (account-sharing, credential resale, automated invitation-token harvesting, or distribution of invitation links to closed communities).
  • Using member contact details for purposes unrelated to the conversation that established that contact (no off-platform spam, no solicitation lists, no unsolicited direct mail).
  • Uploading content that infringes another party's copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity, or other proprietary right.
  • Uploading content containing malware, executable code, embedded tracking, or anything designed to compromise another member's device or account.
  • Attempting to probe, scan, or test the service's security perimeter, or interfering with the service's normal operation, except through the responsible-disclosure channel listed below.
  • Creating duplicate or impersonation accounts, or operating an account on behalf of a banned user.

If you discover a security vulnerability, please disclose it responsibly to [email protected] with the words “Security disclosure” in the subject line, rather than exploit it. We will not pursue good-faith security researchers who follow this process.

5. Business owner posting standards

If you have been vouched for as a business owner and post job opportunities through the service, the following standards apply on top of the general member-conduct rules above:

  • Accuracy. Listings must accurately describe the position, the employer, the location, the compensation range when local law requires it, and the eligibility requirements. Bait-and-switch postings (where the actual position is materially different from the listing) are grounds for immediate removal of the listing and suspension of posting privileges.
  • Compliance with employment, wage, and anti-discrimination law. You are solely responsible for compliance with all employment-, wage-, hour-, and anti-discrimination-related laws applicable to the position, including (where relevant) Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, the FLSA, your state and local equal-employment-opportunity regulations, and any pay-transparency rules in jurisdictions that have them. The service does not vet the legality of any individual listing.
  • No fees from applicants.You may not charge applicants a fee to apply, to be interviewed, to remain “on file,” or for any post-hire onboarding step customarily borne by the employer. Listings that condition consideration on a payment from the applicant will be removed.
  • Identity verification. The business identity you present in your business profile (legal name, location, line of business) must match the entity that will employ the hire. We may require additional verification (proof of business registration, an employer-identification number, or similar) before authorizing certain posting categories.
  • Vouching responsibility. If you vouch for another business owner, you are attesting that you have a direct working relationship with that party and that you believe in good faith they meet the same standards. Repeated vouches that result in suspended business accounts will affect your own eligibility to vouch.
  • Application data. Any applicant-supplied information (resumes, cover letters, contact details, chat messages) is subject to the privacy policy and the retention schedule. You may not export, sell, share, or use that information for any purpose other than evaluating the specific application that produced it.

6. Your content and license

You retain ownership of everything you upload to or post on the service: your profile information, resume, cover letters, photos, job listings, business profile, application messages, and any other content you create. The service does not claim authorship of your content.

To run the service we need a limited license from you. By uploading or posting content, you grant Called 2 Work a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and reproduce that content as needed to operate the service for the intended audience (other members, business owners, the public anonymized listing index, and our sub-processors as described in the privacy policy). The license is automatic, lasts only as long as your content is on the service, and ends when you delete the content (with the same 30-day grace window described in the retention schedule for purposes of recovery and abuse-prevention audit).

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that posting your content does not infringe the rights of any third party.

Takedown. If you believe content on the service infringes your rights or violates these Terms, send a written notice to [email protected] identifying the content (URL or member, date posted), describing the alleged infringement, and providing a good-faith statement that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights-holder. We will respond within a reasonable time and may remove the content pending investigation. Counter-notices are accepted at the same address.

Moderation. We may, but are not obligated to, remove content that violates these Terms, the privacy policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law. We will not edit your content beyond removing it. Where removal is in response to a member report or rights-holder takedown, we will note the action in the audit log.

7. Donations

Called 2 Work is a community-funded service. We accept voluntary donations through Stripe to cover the cost of keeping the service running (hosting, email delivery, error monitoring, and similar operating expenses). Donations are processed on behalf of Called 2 Work; receipts, statement descriptors, and any thank-you correspondence sent through Stripe are branded as Called 2 Work, not as the underlying legal entity. Use of the service does not require a donation, and choosing not to donate has no effect on your access, your invitations, your applications, or any other feature of the service.

Donations are not tax-deductible charitable contributions. Called 2 Work is the operating brand of Zia Code LLC, which is not a registered 501(c)(3) or other tax-exempt charity, and we do not issue tax-deductible receipts. Donations are best understood as voluntary contributions toward keeping the service operating, not as charitable gifts. If you are donating from a state that regulates charitable solicitation by name, please consult your own counsel before donating, and contact us if you need additional disclosures for your records.

Donations are non-refundable except where required by law or where we determine in our sole discretion that a refund is appropriate (for example, if a donation was processed in error or as the result of a compromised account). Stripe processes the payment; we do not receive or store your full card number, CVV, or other sensitive billing details. Stripe's own privacy notice and terms apply to the payment-processing portion of the transaction.

8. Service availability and changes

The service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. We do our best to keep it running, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may add, remove, or change features at any time, and we may pause the service for scheduled maintenance, security incidents, or other operational reasons. Where a change materially affects your rights or the way you use the service we will give reasonable advance notice in-product or by email.

We do not guarantee that any specific listing will be filled, that any specific application will result in an interview or hire, or that any specific business will be successful. Hiring outcomes are between you and the other party.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Disclaimer.Except where applicable law prohibits this exclusion, the service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of dealing. We do not warrant that the service will meet your requirements, that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any defect will be corrected. We do not vouch for the truth of any listing, profile, application, or message exchanged between members; you are responsible for your own diligence before accepting employment, making a hire, or transferring money in connection with anything you find on the service.

Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service is limited to the greater of (a) one hundred US dollars ($100) and (b) the total of any amounts you paid or donated to Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLC in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability.

Carve-outs. The exclusions and limitations above do not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (for example, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or, in some jurisdictions, death or personal injury). Where a carve-out applies, the rest of this section continues to apply to all other liability.

Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLC harmless from any third-party claim, demand, or proceeding arising out of (i) your content; (ii) your use of the service in violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (iii) your infringement of any third-party right. We will give you prompt notice of any such claim, allow you to control the defense (subject to our reasonable approval of counsel), and reasonably cooperate with your defense at your expense.

10. Dispute resolution and governing law

Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to your use of the service are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Forum and venue

Subject to the optional binding-arbitration clause below (if counsel elects to retain it), you and Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLC agree that any action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, USA, and you and Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLCconsent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. This venue clause does not apply to any small-claims action you choose to bring in your local jurisdiction where the small-claims court's jurisdiction-amount cap covers the dispute.

Informal resolution first

Before filing a formal action, you agree to send a written notice of the dispute to [email protected], describing the nature of the dispute and the relief you seek. We will respond within thirty (30) days of receipt. Either party may proceed to a formal action only if the dispute remains unresolved sixty (60) days after the notice was sent.

Counsel decision required: binding arbitration + class-action waiver.

The operator's position is that the conservative default is litigation in the New Mexico forum described above and no binding arbitration. Below is a sample binding-arbitration clause that counsel may elect to include in place of the litigation forum if that is the preferred posture for the service. The clause has been drafted to track the fairness criteria a court is likely to apply (no fee-shifting against the consumer for arbitrator costs, no waiver of statutory rights to seek public-injunctive relief, an opt-out window for new users) but counsel must confirm enforceability against the user's home jurisdiction before turning it on.

Sample text — to be adopted, modified, or removed by counsel: “Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by a neutral arbitrator under the then-current consumer-arbitration rules of a recognized US arbitration provider. The arbitration shall be seated in Albuquerque, New Mexico unless the parties agree otherwise. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs except where the underlying law mandates otherwise. You and Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLC agree to bring claims only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. New users may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to [email protected]within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms; opt-out does not affect any other provision of these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring a small-claims action in a court of competent jurisdiction, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for the protection of intellectual-property rights or to prevent unauthorized access to the service.”

If counsel removes the arbitration clause entirely, the litigation-forum paragraph above stands alone and no further adjustment is needed.

No class actions

Whether or not counsel adopts the binding-arbitration clause above, you and Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLCagree that any action between us must be brought in your or its individual capacity. Class-action and representative-action proceedings are not waived where the underlying law (for example, certain consumer-protection statutes) does not allow waiver; outside those carve-outs, neither party may join or consolidate claims with another user's.

11. Updates to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the service or the surrounding law changes. The version and effective date at the top of this page track every published revision; substantive changes that affect your rights are also surfaced in-product the next time you sign in. The append-only history is stored in source so that prior versions are auditable. If you do not agree with a change, you may close your account before the change takes effect.

12. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the privacy policy, the cookie policy (when published), and any in-product notice that explicitly forms part of the contract, are the entire agreement between you and Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLC concerning the service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understanding.

Severability.If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be interpreted to give effect to the parties' intent to the maximum extent the law permits.

No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision does not waive that provision in the future.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLC's assets, on notice to you.

Notices. Legal notices to Called 2 Work DBA Zia Code LLC should be sent to [email protected]. Notices to you may be sent to the email associated with your account or posted in-product. General inquiries may be sent to [email protected].

13. The invitation system

Membership flows from a chain of trust originating with founding community members. Each invitation you accept ties you to the inviter; each invitation you issue ties someone to you. We preserve the lineage as part of the audit log so that abuse can be traced and so that the chain stays intact when an inviter leaves the service.

Invitations are personal. Sharing an invitation link with a closed group, posting it on a public site, or selling it terminates the invitation and any account created with it. If an invitation you issued is used in a way that violates these Terms, we may revoke that invitation, suspend the resulting account, and limit your ability to issue new invitations while we investigate.

Business-owner vouching follows the same logic with one difference: a vouch is the business-side equivalent of an invitation, and creates a corresponding accountability link between the voucher and the vouchee. Your vouches are part of your business profile and are visible to moderators.
