This Terms of Service Agreement ("Agreement") is made between Techrepo ("we", "us") and any person (collectively "you", "your") who completes the registration process to open and maintain an Account as a Job Seeker, Employer, or Recruiter using the Techrepo website (including techrepo.co.za) and related Service. The Service is offered in South Africa and these terms are governed by South African law.
BY CLICKING THE ACCEPTANCE BUTTON OR ACCESSING, USING, OR INSTALLING ANY PART OF THE SERVICE, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO AND CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.
This Agreement governs your access to and use of the Service. By creating an Account, clicking to accept, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to this Agreement. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation, and "you" includes that organisation.
In this Agreement:
The Service is proprietary to Techrepo and is protected by intellectual property laws and international intellectual property treaties. Your access to the Service is licensed and not sold. Techrepo agrees to provide you with non-exclusive access to or use of the Service, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in this Agreement.
Techrepo provides a technology hiring platform that may include a job marketplace, job posting and application functionality, applicant tracking tools, talent and candidate management, talent pool functionality, recruitment analytics and reporting, and related hiring services. Features available to you may depend on your Account type and, where applicable, your organisation's subscription plan.
Techrepo is not an employer, recruitment agency, or staffing agency. Techrepo provides technology and marketplace services that may connect Job Seekers with Employers and Recruiters. Techrepo is not a party to any employment, engagement, or hiring relationship between a Job Seeker and an Employer.
Where recruitment analytics or reporting features are available, they depend on information available in the Service. Results may be affected by incomplete or inaccurate data. Analytics are informational tools and do not guarantee hiring outcomes.
You represent and warrant to Techrepo that:
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for activity carried out through your account. You must notify Techrepo promptly if you become aware of or reasonably suspect unauthorised access to your account.
If you use the Service as a Job Seeker, you agree that:
If you use the Service as an Employer or Recruiter, you agree that:
Where an Employer or Recruiter uploads, imports, creates, or otherwise provides Candidate Data to Techrepo, they are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary authority, consent, lawful basis, or other legal justification, where required by applicable law, to collect, use, and provide Candidate Data through the Service.
Candidate Data may be used only for legitimate recruitment and hiring-related purposes. You may not use Candidate Data for any other purpose.
Techrepo may process Candidate Data as reasonably necessary to operate and provide the Service, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Employers and Recruiters must not:
Techrepo may remove, restrict, or refuse listings that reasonably appear fraudulent, misleading, unlawful, harmful, or in violation of this Agreement. Techrepo does not undertake to verify every job listing.
You agree not to engage in any unacceptable use of the Service, including but not limited to:
The Service, including software, platform technology, branding, website design, and proprietary functionality, is owned by or licensed to Techrepo. Except for the limited licence to access and use the Service under this Agreement, no rights in Techrepo intellectual property are transferred to you.
You retain any rights you have in content you submit to the Service, including job listings, company information, CVs, candidate records, and recruitment notes. Techrepo does not claim ownership of that content.
You grant Techrepo a non-exclusive licence to host, process, display, transmit, and secure your submitted content solely as reasonably necessary to operate and provide the Service.
Techrepo respects your privacy. Personal information is processed in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) and the Techrepo Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy applies to processing of personal information through the Service, including Job Seeker information, Candidate Data, Employer and Recruiter information, and information processed through applicant tracking and talent and candidate management features. Personal information may be disclosed to Employers, Recruiters, and Job Seekers for recruitment-related purposes. For data subject rights (access, correction, deletion, objection) or complaints, you may contact our Information Officer at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa). Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
Paid subscription plans, where offered, apply to Employers and Recruiters at organisation level. Job Seekers are not currently charged for access to the Service. A limited free plan may be available to Employers and Recruiters, with paid plans providing additional features.
Fees are quoted in South African Rand (ZAR). Applicable fees, plan features, and billing options are as presented at the time of purchase.
Payments may be processed via third-party payment processors (including PayFast). You must provide accurate billing information and keep it reasonably up to date. Where payment is made by card or electronic funds transfer through a payment processor, you authorise the applicable charges for the selected plan and billing period.
Paid plans may be available on a monthly or annual basis. Monthly paid access lasts for a 30-day period. Annual paid access is billed upfront and lasts for a 365-day period. Paid access lasts for the selected billing period following successful payment.
Paid access does not automatically continue after the end of a billing period. Continued paid access after a period ends requires a new payment or checkout for a further period.
Organisation administrators with billing access may cancel a paid subscription through the recruiter dashboard. After cancellation, paid access continues until the end of the current paid period. Cancelling a subscription does not by itself entitle you to a refund.
Where Techrepo invoices an organisation under a separately agreed billing arrangement, payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise, fees paid for the Service are non-refundable. This is subject to your statutory rights under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) where applicable.
You acknowledge that from time to time the Service may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, without limitation: (i) equipment malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs which Techrepo may undertake from time to time; or (iii) causes beyond the control of Techrepo or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Techrepo.
This Agreement is effective until terminated. You may terminate your Account at any time. Except as provided in Section 12, fees already paid are non-refundable.
Techrepo may temporarily restrict or suspend access to the Service, or to particular features or listings, where reasonably necessary.
Techrepo may permanently close an Account or end access to the Service. Circumstances in which Techrepo may suspend or terminate include, without limitation: violation of this Agreement; fraudulent activity; unlawful activity; security risks; non-payment where applicable; and protection of the Service or other users.
Techrepo may take these steps without prior notice where reasonably necessary, including in cases of fraud, unlawful activity, or security risk. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply, as set out in Section 19.
Techrepo provides technology and marketplace services that may connect Job Seekers with Employers and Recruiters. Techrepo does not guarantee interviews, job offers, employment, candidate placement, or that an Employer or Recruiter will find a suitable candidate. Techrepo is not a party to the employment relationship between a Job Seeker and an Employer, and does not employ Job Seekers or provide staffing services.
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Access to the Service is not guaranteed to be uninterrupted or error-free.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Techrepo is not liable for:
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Where permitted, your sole remedy is to discontinue using the Service.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Techrepo harmless from claims arising from:
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes arising from this Agreement are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of South Africa.
Nothing in these terms limits any rights you may have under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) where you qualify as a consumer. These terms are read subject to the CPA where it applies.
Electronic agreements and records are recognised under South African law, including the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 (ECT Act), where applicable.
Techrepo may modify this Agreement at any time by posting updated terms. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of any modifications.
If any provision is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full effect.
Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
