Terms of Service

Last updated:

1. Overview

ABAshifts (“the Platform”) is an ABA job-matching platform operated by ABA shifts LLC (“ABAshifts,” “we,” “us”). It connects ABA therapy companies (“Companies”) with Registered Behavior Technicians, behavior technicians, Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (“Therapists”) for full-time and part-time ABA jobs. Companies hire Therapists directly. By using the Platform, you agree to these terms.

2. The Platform's Role

ABAshifts is a matching and communication platform. We are not an employer, staffing agency, or employment broker. We do not:

  • Employ, supervise, or manage therapists
  • Guarantee the quality, reliability, or performance of any user
  • Set pay rates, schedules, or working conditions between parties
  • Verify certifications or credentials, which Therapists self-report
  • Provide insurance, workers' compensation, or benefits

The working relationship formed through ABAshifts is between the Company and Therapist. Both parties are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable employment laws, including proper W-2 classification for RBTs.

3. Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and truthful information
  • Keep your profile and availability up to date
  • Not impersonate another person or entity
  • Not use the platform for any unlawful purpose

4. Therapist-Specific Terms

As a Therapist on the Platform, you represent that:

  • Any BACB certification you list (such as RBT, BCaBA or BCBA) is valid and current
  • The certification information you provide is accurate
  • If you are a behavior technician without an RBT certification, the training and experience you report are accurate
  • Your availability schedule accurately reflects your actual availability
  • You understand that the company, not ABAshifts, is the employer for any job found through the Platform
  • You are responsible for ensuring that any job you accept does not violate existing employment agreements

5. Company-Specific Terms

As a Company on the Platform, you represent that:

  • You are an authorized representative of the company
  • Job postings accurately describe the role, schedule, pay, and requirements
  • You will properly classify and compensate therapists hired through the Platform in accordance with applicable employment laws
  • You are responsible for confirming a Therapist's credentials before hiring, because credential information on the Platform is self-reported

6. Fees and Payments

For Companies: Fees for companies, if any, are described on the Pricing page and may take the form of a subscription; therapists are never charged. All fees are waived during the beta period.

For Therapists: The Platform is free. No fees will be charged for creating a profile, browsing jobs, expressing interest, messaging, or matching.

We reserve the right to modify Company pricing with 30 days' notice.

7. Anonymity and Identity Reveal

Therapist identities are anonymous until interest is mutual. When a Therapist and a Company have each expressed interest in the same job, the Therapist's name (and any preferred name), email address and phone number (if provided), and any LinkedIn profile, resume and certification number (if any) on file, are revealed to that Company automatically and messaging opens. Once a Therapist has been revealed to a Company, those details stay visible to that Company, including on its other jobs and after a match ends; messaging closes when a match ends. A Therapist's home address is never shown to Companies. Company names are visible to Therapists at all times. Companies must not attempt to identify therapists outside of the Platform's reveal process. Any attempt to circumvent the anonymity system may result in account suspension.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

  • Attempt to identify anonymous users outside of the match process
  • Share another user's personal information without consent
  • Post misleading or fraudulent job listings
  • Use the Platform to harass, spam, or solicit users
  • Scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Platform

9. Limitation of Liability

ABAshifts provides the Platform “as is” without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any damages arising from use of the Platform, including but not limited to: failed matches, no-shows, credential misrepresentation, or disputes between Companies and Therapists.

10. Account Termination

You may deactivate or delete your account at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Upon termination, your data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or platform notification. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
