Advertisers Employers using sponsored ads

Indeed revised its pricing terms to remove specific mention of 'Auto Apply' activity as a pricing factor and removed language describing how the Apply For Me tool affects charges. The updated terms now state that when you reduce or cancel your sponsored Ad budget, you will lose access to premium features exclusive to higher budget plans. Additionally, Indeed added explicit language stating it will calculate and bill applicable taxes based on your location or the location of any Employer linked to your account.

Previous text
The updated terms establish new explicit tax obligations for users. Indeed now states it will calculate and bill applicable taxes based on user location or linked employer location, and users are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or levies. Additionally, the terms now state that reducing or canceling sponsored ad budgets will result in loss of access to premium features exclusive to higher budget plans. Previously, the agreement described auto-apply activity as a pricing factor; this reference has been removed from the pricing methodology section.
