Our Services
Online CV Creation and Publication

CV Database
Third parties can access your Online CV through our database. Any Private CV will not be available to third parties. Third parties will be able to contact you through a contact form. We will not share your contact details directly, but if they are inputted in the User’s Online CV, they will be public to members of the CV Database. We will notify you of contact requests, but any communication with the third party is at your own risk and, therefore, not responsible for the content in these communications.

6. Dispute Resolution
We believe that disagreements and issues should be handled amicably, so we encourage you to contact us directly in writing at our email address: info@scriberly.com if you have any problems, complaints, or concerns. We will try to resolve the matter informally through direct communication, as this is the quickest and most effective way to address any problems.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms that cannot be resolved through direct communication will be first resolved by arbitration. Arbitration is a way to resolve disagreements outside of court with an independent qualified arbitrator making a binding decision. However, disputes that cannot be arbitrated will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
If arbitration is used, it will be administered by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) in accordance with their Arbitration Rules, which will apply UK law. Arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis. This means you cannot bring a claim as part of a group action or class-action lawsuit.
If you are not a resident of the UK, we would still prefer you to contact us directly with any concerns. We will try to resolve the matter informally and participate in formal alternative dispute resolution platforms beyond the process described in this document. This informal process does not prevent you from taking legal action in your country of residence if necessary. Please contact us directly if you have any questions or queries.
