Terms & conditions
Last updated September 14, 2026
1. About these terms
These terms are intended for a Nigerian-founded service that may serve users, employers, and applicants internationally. The contracting entity, registered address, governing law, venue, consumer rights, and local representative details must be completed by qualified counsel before launch. Mandatory rights under your local law are not waived by these terms.
2. International use and employment information
Users are responsible for complying with employment, immigration, anti-discrimination, sanctions, export-control, tax, and data-protection laws applicable to them. Job Connect Africa does not provide legal, immigration, tax, or employment advice and does not guarantee that a role is lawful or suitable in a particular country.
3. About these terms
These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of Job Connect Africa, including job discovery, candidate profiles, applications, employer accounts, role publishing, messaging, and related services. By creating an account, accessing the platform, or submitting information, you agree to these terms. If you use the platform for an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must provide accurate, current information and keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding login credentials, activity under your account, and promptly reporting suspected unauthorised access. Do not create an account for another person without permission, impersonate another person or company, or maintain accounts intended to evade a restriction.
3. Candidate responsibilities
Candidates are responsible for the accuracy of profiles, CVs, qualifications, work history, references, and applications. Do not submit misleading, plagiarised, discriminatory, confidential, or unlawful material. An application may be sent to an employer or an external employer portal, and the employer’s own privacy notice and terms may also apply.
4. Employer responsibilities
Employers must provide accurate, lawful, current role information, including responsibilities, requirements, compensation information where required, location, application route, and closing dates. Employers must review AI-assisted drafts before publishing, make fair and lawful decisions, protect candidate information, and avoid discriminatory, deceptive, exploitative, or fraudulent listings.
5. Listings, applications, and hiring decisions
Job Connect Africa provides a marketplace and workflow; it is not the employer, recruiter, or hiring decision-maker unless expressly stated. We do not guarantee the accuracy, availability, safety, compensation, legitimacy, or outcome of a listing, nor do we guarantee an interview or employment. Employers control selection decisions and candidates should independently verify opportunities before sharing sensitive information or accepting an offer.
6. AI-assisted content
The platform may use artificial intelligence to draft role summaries, responsibilities, requirements, benefits, and related content. AI output can be incomplete, inaccurate, biased, or unsuitable. AI output is a starting point only and must be reviewed, corrected, and approved by an authorised human before publication. Users remain responsible for published content and decisions made from it. Do not submit confidential, special-category, or unnecessary personal information into an AI prompt.
7. Acceptable use
You may not use the platform to distribute malware, spam, scams, unlawful offers, discriminatory content, sexual exploitation, harassment, scraping that harms the service, unauthorised advertising, false identities, or requests for passwords, fees, financial credentials, or unnecessary identity documents. You may not interfere with security, reverse engineer the service, or access data that does not belong to you.
8. Content and licences
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant Job Connect Africa a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, reproduce, format, display, distribute, and process that content as needed to operate, secure, improve, and promote the service. You confirm that you have the rights and permissions required to submit it. We may remove content that violates these terms or creates legal, security, or safety risk.
9. Intellectual property
The platform, software, branding, design, databases, and original materials are owned by Job Connect Africa or its licensors and are protected by applicable law. Except for the limited use permitted through the service, you may not copy, modify, sell, distribute, or create derivative works from them without written permission.
10. Third-party services
The platform may link to employer career sites, application portals, identity providers, analytics services, hosting providers, and other third parties. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices, or decisions. Review the relevant third-party terms before continuing.
11. Fees and communications
Some services may be offered under separate commercial terms. Any applicable fees, billing rules, cancellation rights, and taxes will be disclosed before purchase. You agree that we may send service notices, security alerts, application updates, and other operational communications. Marketing communications can be managed through the available unsubscribe controls.
12. Suspension and termination
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access where necessary to protect users, investigate abuse, comply with law, address non-payment, or enforce these terms. You may stop using the service or request account closure. Provisions concerning content, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, disputes, and accrued obligations survive termination.
13. Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis. We do not promise uninterrupted operation, error-free content, successful recruitment outcomes, or that every listing or user is genuine. Nothing in these terms excludes a consumer right or liability that cannot legally be excluded.
14. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Job Connect Africa is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or loss-of-profit damages, or for conduct and content of users, employers, applicants, or third-party providers. Any liability cap will be the greater of the amount paid by you for the relevant service in the preceding twelve months or the minimum amount required by applicable law.
15. Changes and contact
We may update these terms to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. We will post the revised version and update the date; material changes may be communicated through the service. Continued use after the effective date means the revised terms apply. Contact us at hello@jobconnect.africa with legal questions, complaints, or notices.
