Welcome to Rig Lynx
The https://riglynx.com website and application (the "Site and App") is comprised of various web pages operated by Rig Lynx L.L.C. The application and https://riglynx.com is offered to you conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein (the "Terms"). Your use of the application and https://riglynx.com constitutes your agreement to all such Terms. Please read these terms carefully and keep a copy of them for your reference.
https://riglynx.com and the Rig Lynx application are Social Networking Sites that offer “Software as a Service” to its members.
Rig Lynx L.L.C.’s mission is to connect Oil & Gas personnel from any position and bring them together on the same platform. With Rig Lynx, you will be able to connect, chat, send messages, search for jobs and share useful information about the industry and your personnel experiences. A socially motivating application that fulfills the needs of the user. Simple and effective, taking the user back to the very basics before their screens became convoluted with a mixed community of people using their newsfeed for something other than to promote the industry or share useful advice collectively. Although there are some applications on the market for the community, there is no “specific” application for Oil and Gas personnel to share wisdom and experience with each other without users bombarding their newsfeed with advertisements and pictures that are not related to the Oil and Gas industry. This will be a place for recruiters and companies to find people but also allowing the recruiters or companies to see if another member is employed or not by a simple scroll through the newsfeed or use of the provided recruiting dashboard specially setup for the oil and gas industry. Learn more about job opportunities, connect with previous team members, speak directly to thought leaders and build a community that interacts and supports each other.

19.1 During the registration process you will be prompted to fill in certain areas that will require personal information such as but not limited to “Name” “Email” “Address” “Telephone” “Country” “Position” “Bio”, this enables Rig Lynx to create a personal profile for which you will be responsible for the information that you have entered in these areas as “your own”. Rig Lynx LLC does not store financial information nor will the application request financial information during your registration process.
20.1 Member profile will be created once the registration is complete and the member will have the opportunity to use the recruiting mode, discreet hiring mode, resume upload, photo cropping, background changes, profile markers, OutLynx, Facebook group, favorite Lynx, chat, recruiting portal and access to web profile during the free trail of the application.
21.1 The ability to be “Lynxed” with others is one of the uses of the Rig Lynx application. The application itself does not give you the ability to lynx with others without approval, both members have to either be given or received, once an approved lynx is made this is both members agreeing to be lynxed by the application, Rig Lynx L.L.C. does not condone lynxing with members you do not know but in certain circumstances a general friendship across the Newsfeed can be made and a lynx henceforth will become apparent. Due to the specific nature of open networking, Rig Lynx L.L.C. has created the ability to see Lynx that are open networkers by using the OutLynx function, when setting the OutLynx function to on in your settings this will enable the member to see and engage with posts on their Newsfeed from other open networkers, the purpose of this is to give open networkers a place to lynx with specific Lynx of the same nature. If a member chooses not to use this option then it is “at will” the same as turning the function to on, this is “at will”. Once this is turned on, your posts will assimilate on the Newsfeed of others that have the OutLynx function set to on. This does not create a lynx between members, it is considered an “ice breaker” and is to be used as visual aid to help lynx with members of the same nature.
21.2 The use of the favorite Lynx function is to enable members to post to only a selected group of members, as a Lynx is chosen as a favorite, they will only be able to see what either one or many favorites in which they have chosen have posted to the newsfeed, this is dynamic and works two directional, if you are chosen as a favorite, then you will see what a member has posted to their newsfeed within the selected group of favorites. This gives the user the ability to have a “tighter” connection with members on the platform, it can be used with things such as personal connections they may want to see a post on the newsfeed, or you may be a manager and wanting to post to a selected team if chosen to do so. Once a post is made to a selected group of favorites, this will remain this way until the member has deselected them as favorites, remember, if the post on the newsfeed remains and you deselect the favorite options on the member, this will in turn open the posting up to all the rest of your connections if all favorites are removed. Be sure when you are using this function that you understand the functionality and use case.
22.1 Member newsfeed will be a culmination of information from the lynx that have been made with other members. As other members post to their Newsfeed, the algorithm is set to show most recent posting first. Illicit, obscene or posts of an unbecoming nature are reported, they will be removed from the Newsfeed and the member of such post will be contacted about the conduct on the platform. The use of the Rig Lynx platform is “at will” and Rig Lynx L.L.C. will not be held liable for offensive posts that are populated onto a members Newsfeed. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions of use if there are any other questions.
22.2 Rig Lynx gives the user the ability to tag other Lynx that you are connected with in your posts on the Newsfeed, please use caution with the use of this feature and only use it when you are wanting to draw the attention of the Lynx in interest as they will receive an in-app notification once they are tagged in any post on the newsfeed.
22.3 Video sharing on the Newsfeed is exactly the same as when a member posts a photo or text onto the Newsfeed the Lynx that they are lynxed to can see the videos, if the videos are not of suitable nature then they will be removed or quarantined until reviewed by the Administration and deemed fit for purpose. If a member sees a video that is not suitable then they are to contact Rig Lynx through the support option in their settings. Rig Lynx L.L.C. is not responsible for the offensive posts that are populated onto the members Newsfeed. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions of use if there are any other questions.
23.1 Rig Lynx give the user the ability to message other Lynx, just like a typical messaging platform the member has the ability to find other members, write and send messages in a private forum. The use of the messaging option as well as sending or receiving attachments is an “at will” function, a member can choose to answer messages or not deemed at their discretion. Answering, reading, copying, transposing either it be by means of digital or paper of any message sent or received is “at will” and Rig Lynx L.L.C. is not held liable for any messages that are offensive. If a member finds a message offensive, then they are to report the message to our support function in their settings immediately.
24.1 Rig Lynx is designed so that the member is kept aware of information that is centered around their profile, newsfeed and messaging options. The member has the ability to turn off these notifications in their setting by turning the “in app notification” to off if they do not want to be disturbed while inside the application.
25.1 Rig Lynx has cumulated a database of thousands of companies, this is designed to help people in the industry find services in remote parts of the world as well as reaching out to foreign companies if there is a need for a particular service. The data that is assimilated here is owned by their respective owners either it be through website detail submission or general contact information that can be found on the internet publicly.
26.1 As the world is ever changing, Rig Lynx L.L.C. has developed an interactive map that can be populated with location pins for either drilling rig locations or company locations as seen fit by the members. The use of this is warranted by double confirmation, hence when a member wants to pin a location, they send the request to two additional Rig Lynx members to be verified as correct. Once their chosen Lynx have verified the pins are correct then they will be placed onto the map by the application accordingly. Rig Lynx L.L.C. does not own or distribute business location or information for profit, this is an “at will” service that is being provided to the members of the application and is used to make finding service solutions easier for the members.
27.1 With a reoccurring monthly subscription, members will have access to all options and abilities that Rig Lynx has to offer, upon completion of their trial membership they will be given the opportunity to move to the paid version of the application. If they choose not to use the paid version of the application, then some of the applications features will be disabled or reduced in capacity.
28.1 As this is a “software as a service” certain functions will become decapacitated or reduced performance after the free trial has ended. The details of your membership will be inside of the application but are listed here for easy reference:
