When businesses place an ad for a certain duration, say 30 days, or a 120 days for that matter, for a 'job posting' and they find they do not need the posting due to a variety of reasons (filled the position right after it started, decided not to hire, changed their mind, whatever the reason ) and the job boards' refund policy is no longer in effect ( beyond the time stated for a refund):

A) What happens if the company paying for/making the job posting requests that the job posting be removed/deleted. If the posting is removed -- are they still obligated to pay for the posting and its duration? Even if it is for a service 'they do not receive?' completely?

B) In the job boards interest - - should they keep the posting running regardless of any request ?( avoiding issues of 'non-performance', etc)

Note that the company making the posting clearly agreed to the specified run times beforehand. My gut feel is that the company is obligated to fulfill their obligations, as is the job board - for example -- you cannot go to Yahoo and request a refund/partial refund partways into the year saying ' we already have enough business' or 'we changed our minds.' Though I don't knwo what companies like Monster do in this case, as it has to happen quite frequently.

Anyway, would much appreciate some insight into this.

Well, since you don't really want to tell us what is going on, I will give you the same advice you got a couple of months ago: hire a good business lawyer.

I explained the alternate questions, right there, A and B.

And why the non-working link? How does that even relate?
