JobsConnect Terms of Service

Website: https://jobsconnect.co.za
Effective date: 12 September 2026
Version: 1.0

1. Who we are and how these terms apply

JobsConnect is operated by Black Web Content Pty Ltd, trading as JobsConnect, a private company, registration number 2020/834588/07, at 56 Cook Street, Bothasig, Cape Town, 7441, South Africa. Public Officer: Mrs L Mbwana. Contact us at info@jobsconnect.co.za

These terms govern access to our website, accounts, job listings, application tools and related services. “We”, “us” and “our” mean the operator identified above. “You” means the person using the service or, where you act with authority for an organisation, that organisation.

We make these terms available before account registration or any order. Where agreement is required, you must have an opportunity to read and accept them. If you do not agree, do not create an account, submit content or order a service. Nothing in these terms removes rights that South African law does not allow us to exclude.

2. What JobsConnect provides

JobsConnect helps jobseekers discover vacancies and helps employers and authorised recruiters advertise opportunities and receive applications. Results may combine listings submitted to JobsConnect with listings supplied by external providers, including Adzuna, Jooble and Careerjet.

Unless a vacancy expressly identifies JobsConnect as the employer, we are not the employer for that vacancy. Employers decide whom to interview and employ. Listing a vacancy, displaying a company profile or accepting a recruiter account is not a guarantee of the employer’s identity, conduct, solvency or suitability.

We do not guarantee employment, interviews, salary, visa sponsorship or the accuracy or continued availability of a vacancy. Search filters, recommendations and any matching indicators are discovery aids, not hiring decisions or professional advice. Check important details with the employer before relying on them.

3. Eligibility and accounts

Account holders must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into these terms. Do not create an account for someone else without lawful authority. Recruiter representatives must be authorised to act for the employer or agency they identify.

Provide accurate account details and keep them current. Protect your password and access tokens, do not share accounts, and notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access. You are responsible for your own conduct and the actions you authorise; this does not make you automatically responsible for a security incident caused by us.

You must meet the lawful requirements of any role you apply for. A “remote” label does not establish that a role accepts South African residents or that you have permission to work in another country.

4. Jobseekers and applications

Use accurate information in your profile, CV and applications. Do not invent qualifications, employment history or references. Obtain appropriate permission before providing another person’s personal information, such as a referee’s contact details. Avoid including identity documents, banking information, health information or other sensitive information unless genuinely required through an appropriate lawful process.

When you submit an application through JobsConnect, you ask us to transmit the application and selected attachments to the relevant employer or authorised recruiter. They are responsible for their subsequent handling of that information under applicable law. Do not assume an application has been delivered unless you receive a confirmation; contact us if a technical problem occurs.

JobsConnect does not charge jobseekers to search for vacancies or submit ordinary job applications. Recruiters using our platform must not demand payment from a jobseeker to apply, secure an interview or obtain a placement. Report any such demand to our contact address.

5. External listings and application websites

External listings carry a source label. An “Apply on provider website” link takes you to another website, where its operator’s terms and privacy notice apply. An external application is not an application submitted through JobsConnect, and we may not receive its status or be able to withdraw it for you.

Provider data may be incomplete, duplicated, delayed or no longer current. We may remove duplicates and filter known expired listings, but this does not establish that every remaining vacancy is open or verified. Confirm the closing date, location, salary, eligibility and application process on the original listing.

Third-party names, logos and listing content remain the property of their respective owners. These terms do not give you a right to republish, resell or bulk extract provider content. A source label does not imply endorsement of JobsConnect by that provider.

6. Employer and recruiter responsibilities

Advertise only genuine opportunities for which you have authority to recruit. Clearly identify the employer or your agency, describe the role honestly and disclose material conditions, including the location, working arrangements and any lawful eligibility requirements. Keep listings current and close or remove vacancies that have been filled or withdrawn.

Comply with applicable employment, equality, immigration, consumer and data-protection laws. Do not publish unlawful discriminatory requirements, misleading earnings claims, pyramid schemes, impersonation, exploitative work or advertisements disguised as vacancies. Where registration or authorisation is legally required for your activities, you must obtain and maintain it; platform access is not that authorisation.

Use applicant information only for legitimate, disclosed recruitment purposes and any other purpose for which you have an independent lawful basis. Restrict access to authorised personnel, keep it secure, apply appropriate retention periods, and handle access, correction and deletion requests as required by law. Do not sell applicant data, use it for unrelated marketing or share it indiscriminately. Receiving a CV does not give you ownership of it or unrestricted permission to use it.

7. Fees and paid recruiter services

Any paid service requires a separate order showing the service, features, price, applicable taxes, billing period, cancellation procedure and refund terms before you agree to pay. A pricing display alone does not authorise a charge or recurring subscription. We will not activate recurring billing without disclosing and obtaining agreement to it.

Mandatory cooling-off, cancellation, refund and other consumer rights remain applicable where the law provides them. Nothing in these terms establishes a blanket no-refund policy. Changes to paid plans apply prospectively with appropriate notice and any agreement required by law. Optional paid recruiter services do not guarantee applicants or successful hiring.

8. Content ownership and permission to operate the service

You retain the rights you hold in the content you submit. You grant JobsConnect a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to host, copy, format, display and transmit that content only as reasonably necessary to provide the service you request, moderate abuse, maintain security and meet legal obligations. Public job advertisements and company profiles may be displayed publicly; CVs and private applications are not licensed for unrestricted public publication.

This permission ends when the relevant content is deleted, except for copies already legitimately delivered to recipients and limited retention needed for backups, legal duties or disputes. Retained personal information remains subject to applicable law. You must have the rights needed to upload your content.

JobsConnect’s own branding, software and original website content belong to us or our licensors. You may use the website for its intended purposes, but may not copy our branding in a way that implies affiliation or ownership.

9. Acceptable use and security

Do not impersonate others, harass users, send spam, upload malicious files, access another person’s account, harvest CVs or personal information, bypass access controls, overload the service or interfere with its operation. Automated access must comply with any express API permission and applicable provider restrictions. Do not evade security blocks by rotating accounts or network identities.

We may apply proportionate security checks, request limits, challenges or temporary blocks to suspected abuse. These controls can sometimes affect legitimate users; contact us if you believe you have been blocked incorrectly. Report suspected vulnerabilities privately to our contact address without accessing or disclosing other users’ information.

10. Privacy

Personal information is handled under applicable data-protection law, including POPIA. Our separate Privacy Notice explains the information collected, purposes, recipients, retention, international transfers and your rights. Accepting these terms is not blanket consent to unrelated marketing or unrestricted processing of personal information.

External job searches transmit search terms and location to the selected providers. The Careerjet integration also sends the requesting visitor’s IP address and browser information. Choosing the JobsConnect-only source avoids those external job-search calls, but does not disable ordinary hosting or security processing. External application websites operate their own privacy practices.

11. Moderation, suspension and closing your account

We may investigate reports and remove or restrict content that reasonably appears fraudulent, unlawful, harmful or inconsistent with these terms. We may suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect users, investigate abuse or comply with law. Urgent action may occur without prior notice; otherwise, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to address the issue where appropriate.

You may contact us to request account closure or review of a moderation decision. Account closure does not automatically remove applications already delivered to employers or external providers, and does not extinguish lawful payment obligations or statutory refund rights. Personal information must still be handled under applicable retention and deletion requirements.

12. Availability and responsibility for loss

Please read this section carefully: it explains limits on what the service can promise.

We aim to provide a useful and reasonably secure service, but availability may be affected by maintenance, network failures, external providers and security incidents. We do not promise uninterrupted access or error-free third-party information. Take reasonable precautions when dealing with advertisers and retain copies of important application information.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for an employer’s hiring decision or an external provider’s conduct solely because its listing or link appears on JobsConnect. This does not exclude responsibility for our own acts or omissions where the law makes us responsible.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, gross negligence or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Statutory rights and remedies, including applicable consumer and data-protection rights, remain intact.

13. Complaints and disputes

Send complaints, suspected scams, copyright concerns or requests to review a restriction to info@jobsconnect.co.za. Include the listing URL or account reference, relevant facts and the remedy you seek. Do not send passwords or unnecessary sensitive documents.

We will acknowledge complaints and make reasonable efforts to resolve them. You retain the right to approach a competent court, regulator, tribunal or other body with jurisdiction. These terms do not require compulsory private arbitration or prevent lawful regulatory complaints.

South African law governs these terms, subject to any mandatory protections that apply to you. Courts with lawful jurisdiction may hear disputes.

14. Changes and general provisions

We may update these terms as the service or law changes. We will publish a dated version and give reasonable advance notice of material changes where practicable. Changes will not retrospectively remove accrued rights. Where fresh agreement is required by law or the nature of a change, we will obtain it rather than relying solely on continued use.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder continues to apply to the extent legally possible. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of that right. These terms and any agreed service order govern the relevant service, subject always to mandatory law.
