12. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

This platform functions strictly as a digital job advertising medium. We provide a space for employers to post advertisements for available vacancies and for work-seekers to view those postings.

Employer Advertising Terms & Conditions.

These Employer Advertising Terms & Conditions ("Advertising Terms") govern all vacancy listings, banners, and promotional placements ("Advertisements") submitted by corporate entities, recruiters, or individuals ("Advertisers") for publication on the HR Partner platform, including its desktop website, mobile interfaces, and partner distribution networks.

By submitting or paying for an Advertisement on our platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these legally binding terms.

1. Non-Transferability of Advertising Slots

The advertising privileges, dashboard allocations, and listing slots granted under these terms are strictly specific to your corporate entity. Advertisers may not transfer, resell, assign, or outsource any of their advertising rights or contractual obligations to a third party without our prior written authorization.

2. Multi-Posting Limits & Listing Duplication

• One Role Per Listing: To maintain data integrity for work-seekers, each Advertisement may feature only one distinct job position or vacancy title at any given time.
• Subsequent Overwrites: If you upload a new or updated Advertisement for a vacancy that is already live on the platform, the new submission will overwrite and replace the previous listing.
• Forfeiture of Remaining Duration: Upon replacement, the active duration cycle of the original listing immediately expires. We are under no obligation to refund, credit, or reimburse you for any unused portions of the initial advertising cycle if you choose to overwrite or remove it early.

3. Payment Processing & Rate Modifications

• Upfront Billing: All Advertisements must be settled in full prior to publication at our current prevailing commercial rates. We reserve the absolute right to withhold or pause the publication of any vacancy listing until cleared payment is confirmed.
• Rate Revisions: We reserve the right to modify our commercial advertising rates at our sole discretion. Adjusted rates will apply solely to new or renewed Advertisements placed after the revised prices are updated on our billing platforms.
• EFT Clearance Requirement: Where payment is made via EFT, Advertisements will not be processed or released to the live marketplace until the funds have completely cleared and reflect in our bank account. Proof of payment (POP) notifications may be submitted, but system activation remains subject to actual bank clearance.

4. Review, Processing, and Activation Timelines

• SLA Windows: We aim to process, vet, and approve digital job advertisements submitted via our online dashboard within 48 hours of submission. Approved vacancies will go live on the platform on the following business day.
• Status Notifications: Upon successful review and deployment, an automated system confirmation will be issued to your registered corporate email address indicating that the listing is live.
• Rejected Listings: If an Advertisement fails our internal moderation policies, we will communicate the rejection via email, providing directional guidance or a contact path to resolve the compliance issue.

5. Advertiser Warranties & Regulatory Compliance

As an Advertiser, you expressly warrant and guarantee that:

• Data Integrity: All text, organizational descriptions, logos, and salary indicators provided are comprehensive, legally sound, non-defamatory, truthful, and strictly compliant with the South African Code of Advertising Practice.
• Third-Party Indemnity: The publication of your Advertisement will not infringe upon the intellectual property, copyright, or trademark rights of any third party, nor expose HR Partner to legal liabilities, regulatory fines, or reputational damage.
• Privacy & POPIA Compliance: Where a job description, video link, or logo identifies or relates to any living individual, you have secured the explicit, informed consent of that person in strict compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, No. 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

6. Immediate Takedown and Suspension Rights

We retain the absolute right to suspend, archive, or permanently delete any Advertisement with immediate effect, without notice or financial liability to you, if:

• You breach any warranty outlined in Section 5, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect your listings are fraudulent, misleading, or harvesting candidate data under false pretenses.
• Undisclosed Placement Fees or Data Harvesting: The Advertisement requires candidates to pay upfront administrative fees, application costs, vetting fees, or mandatory training costs to secure an interview, or if we discover the listing was published solely to illegally harvest candidate personal profiles rather than fill a genuine, active vacancy.
• A competent South African law enforcement agency, statutory body, or labor compliance authority instructs, recommends, or issues a takedown directive regarding your published content.
