These terms and conditions govern the use of the Milebourne website, available at milebourne.com. Milebourne is a recruitment and executive search firm specializing in the transportation, supply chain, and logistics sectors, working with employers and professionals across the United States. By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. Anyone who does not agree with any part of these terms should discontinue use of the website.
The terms published on this page apply to all visitors, including employers submitting hiring briefs, candidates submitting resumes, and any other person browsing the site. Their purpose is to set clear expectations in three areas: how the website may be used, how information submitted through it is treated, and where the limits of Milebourne's responsibility sit. Reading them before submitting material helps both sides of a potential engagement understand the ground rules that apply at this early, website-based stage of contact.
Acceptance of these terms
By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using milebourne.com, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions, together with any other policies referenced on the website. Acceptance takes effect through use of the site itself. No separate signature or registration step is required for these terms to apply.
If you are using the website on behalf of an organization, such as an employer considering Milebourne for recruitment or executive search support, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms. Where that authority does not exist, the website should be used in a personal capacity only.
These terms govern the website and general interactions that take place through it. They do not govern specific recruitment work. Engagements such as a retained search, a contingency assignment, or a contract placement are covered by separate written agreements between Milebourne and the relevant client. Where a signed agreement of that kind exists, it takes precedence over these website terms to the extent of any conflict.
Use of the website
The website is provided for lawful purposes connected with learning about Milebourne and its services, making inquiries, and submitting information relevant to recruitment activity. Typical legitimate uses include reading about the firm's work in transportation, supply chain, and logistics hiring, submitting a resume for consideration, or outlining a hiring requirement for review.
You agree not to use the website in any way that is unlawful, misleading, or harmful. Prohibited conduct includes attempting to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site or its underlying systems, introducing malicious code, scraping or harvesting content or contact data at scale, impersonating another person or organization, and submitting false or fraudulent information. These restrictions protect both the integrity of the site and the candidates and employers whose information passes through it.
Milebourne reserves the right to restrict or block access to the website for any user whose conduct breaches these terms or interferes with the operation of the site, and to take further action where the conduct warrants it.
The content of the website is general in nature. Descriptions of services such as executive search, direct-hire recruitment, contract and interim placement, talent mapping, and compensation benchmarking are provided for information only. They do not constitute a binding offer, a professional recommendation, or a commitment to any particular outcome.
Intellectual property
All content on this website, including text, page structure, branding, and logos, is the property of Milebourne or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. The Milebourne name and associated branding may not be used without prior written consent.
You may view and print pages from the website for your own internal, non-commercial use, for example when evaluating the firm as a potential hiring partner or sharing its service information within your organization. Beyond that limited permission, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, republish, or commercially exploit any content from the site without written permission. Nothing on the website transfers any ownership interest in its content to any user, and no license is granted by implication.
Submissions through the website
The website allows visitors to submit information directly to Milebourne. Candidates can submit resumes and career details, and employers can submit hiring briefs or role specifications. By submitting any material through the site, you confirm that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge, that you are entitled to share it, and that it does not infringe the rights of any third party, such as a confidentiality obligation owed to a current employer.
Submitting a resume does not create an employment relationship, an agency relationship, or any obligation on Milebourne to secure interviews, offers, or employment for the candidate. Milebourne works as a hiring partner to employers and makes introductions based on client requirements and candidate fit. No guarantee of placement, employment, interview, or any particular career outcome is made or implied by the acceptance of a submission, and candidates should not interpret acknowledgment of a resume as a commitment of that kind.
The same principle applies on the employer side. Submitting a hiring brief does not oblige Milebourne to accept an engagement, and acceptance of a brief does not guarantee that a suitable candidate will be identified or placed. Search and recruitment outcomes depend on market conditions, role requirements, and candidate availability. Any commitments about a specific engagement are made only in the written agreement for that engagement, never through the website itself.
By submitting information, you grant Milebourne permission to review, store, and use that information for legitimate recruitment purposes. This includes sharing candidate details with prospective employers where relevant and appropriate to a live or potential requirement. Candidates should avoid submitting information they are not prepared to have used in this way, and should redact anything not needed for recruitment assessment. Personal information submitted through the site is handled in line with the firm's privacy practices.
Third-party links
The website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or resources. These links are provided for convenience only. Their inclusion does not signify that Milebourne endorses, controls, or accepts responsibility for the content, products, services, or practices of any third-party site.
Milebourne has no control over third-party websites and makes no representation about their accuracy, availability, or security. Accessing any linked site is at the user's own risk, and the terms and privacy practices of that site will apply from the moment the link is followed. Any concerns about linked content should be directed to the operator of the relevant website.
Disclaimers
The website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Milebourne does not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components, and does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any content published on the site.
Nothing on the website constitutes professional, legal, financial, or career advice, and no content should be relied upon as a substitute for advice tailored to a specific situation. Salary and market commentary, where provided, is general in nature and may not reflect the circumstances of any particular role, sector, or location. Decisions about hiring, compensation, or career moves should be based on a direct discussion of the specific facts involved.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Milebourne disclaims all implied warranties in relation to the website and its content, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Milebourne, its directors, employees, and consultants will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, this website or reliance on its content.
This limitation applies whether the claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, statute, or any other legal theory, and it applies even if Milebourne has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including any liability arising from conduct for which exclusion is prohibited.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Milebourne and its officers, employees, and consultants from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or connected with your use of the website, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
This obligation includes claims arising from information you submit through the website that is inaccurate, misleading, or submitted without proper authority. In practical terms, the person or organization providing material bears responsibility for its accuracy and for having the right to provide it.
Governing law
These terms and conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the use of this website, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
You agree that the courts located in the State of Georgia will have jurisdiction over any such dispute or claim, subject to any mandatory legal provisions that apply. Using the website from another state or country does not change this governing law position.
Changes to these terms
Milebourne may update or revise these terms and conditions from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the website, in the firm's services, or in applicable law. Any revised version will be posted on this page and will take effect from the time of publication, unless a later effective date is stated.
Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Because the version in force is always the one published here, visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically, particularly before submitting new material.

Questions about these terms and conditions, or about any aspect of how the website operates, can be directed to Milebourne by email. The firm will aim to respond to genuine inquiries within a reasonable timeframe.
