Application Terms and Conditions

By submitting an application to Tampa Bay Holiday Lights ("the Company," "we," "us") through any of our application channels - our careers website, a job board, text message, or in person - you agree to these Application Terms and Conditions and to our Applicant Privacy Policy.

Submitting an application does not create an offer of employment, a promise of an interview, or any contract between you and the Company. We decide who advances at each stage of our hiring process at our discretion. We may fill a position, change a position, or decide not to fill it at all, at any time and without notice to applicants.

Nothing on our careers website, in a job posting, in a recruiting message, or in an interview creates a contract of employment or a promise of continued employment.

If we hire you, your employment with the Company is at will. That means either you or the Company may end the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. Seasonal roles are additionally limited by the season itself: the work has a defined start and a defined end, and the end of the season ends the job.

No manager, recruiter, or other Company representative has authority to change the at-will nature of employment, or to promise employment for a fixed period, except in a written agreement signed by an officer of the Company.

You represent that the information in your application and any other material you give us is true, complete, and your own work. You agree that if we discover any false statement, omission, or misrepresentation, we may end your application at any point in the process, or, if you have already been hired, end your employment.

Our hiring process runs on text messaging. We text you first, usually the same day you apply.

By submitting an application and giving us your phone number, you agree that the Company and the people recruiting for it may contact you by phone call, text message (SMS), and email about your application, your interview, your onboarding, and the job you applied for. This includes messages sent by an automated system.

• Message and data rates may apply.
• Message frequency varies.
• Reply STOP to any text to stop receiving texts from us. Reply HELP for help.
• Stopping texts does not withdraw your application, but text is our main channel, so it may slow down or end our ability to reach you about it.

This consent covers messages about your application and your employment. It is not consent to marketing about our light installation services.

You must be at least 18 years old to apply. You must be legally authorized to work in the United States. If hired, you will be required to complete a Form I-9 and provide documentation of your identity and work authorization.

This section applies if you are applying for a door-to-door outside sales role.

Florida law requires a home solicitation sale permit for the person doing the soliciting, issued by the Clerk of Court in the county where you will be knocking. Some cities require a second permit. Getting that permit is a condition of working this job.

You should know the following before you apply:

• You apply for the permit yourself. The county issues it to you personally, not to the Company. We will give you the forms, the fee amounts, and step-by-step instructions, and we reimburse the fees under the terms stated in your offer letter.
• The permit process includes a criminal background check and fingerprinting. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the county sheriff's office run that check. You submit your fingerprints and your information to them directly, through the county process. The Company does not run this check and does not receive your fingerprints.
• Certain criminal history can disqualify you from holding the permit. The statute lists grounds on which a county may deny a permit. If you cannot be permitted, you cannot work a door-to-door role for us, because the permit is a legal requirement of the work.
• Timing is not fully within our control. State and county agencies control how long the background check and permit approval take.

By sending us a recording or any other material as part of your application, you grant the Company permission to store, view, and share it internally for the purpose of evaluating your application. We do not publish applicant material, use it in advertising, or share it outside the Company's hiring process without your separate written permission.

Do not include anything confidential to a current or former employer.

We consider your application active for the current hiring season. After that, we may keep it on file and contact you about future seasons unless you ask us not to.

The Company is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate in hiring on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, Florida, or local law.

Any earnings figures in our job postings or recruiting material are stated with their conditions. Commission earnings depend on individual effort, hours worked, results, and market conditions, and they are not guaranteed. Your pay, if we hire you, is governed only by the written offer letter and commission plan you sign.

We may update these Application Terms and Conditions. The version posted at the time you submit an application governs that application.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law rules.
