The employer remains 100% responsible for reviewing the relevant information, applying its own policies, and making all final human decisions concerning candidates or employees.

4. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Career Maker disclaims liability for hiring outcomes, candidate suitability, employee performance, workplace disputes, compliance failures caused by customer misuse, or downstream business decisions made by employers using the platform. The employer assumes full responsibility for how CipherIQ outputs are interpreted, documented, and applied in real-world employment decisions.
