Content moderation

SAJobMarket may reject, edit, unpublish, or remove content that violates policy, creates risk, or reduces user trust. We also publish our own editorial briefs and guides, which remain the intellectual property of SAJobMarket unless stated otherwise.

Intellectual property

All original SAJobMarket editorial content, site design, branding, and compiled listing data are the property of SAJobMarket. You may not republish substantial portions of our original content without written permission. Employer-submitted content remains the responsibility of the employer submitting it.

Third-party links and services

SAJobMarket may link to third-party sites, government portals, or employer pages. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites. Use them at your own discretion.

Advertising

The site may display ads from third-party networks, including Google AdSense. See our Advertising Disclosure for details on how advertising, sponsored content, and monetization work on SAJobMarket.

Limitation of liability

SAJobMarket provides platform services on an "as available" basis and is not liable for hiring outcomes, third-party actions, indirect damages, or losses arising from your use of the site, to the maximum extent permitted by South African law. We do not guarantee employment, interview results, or employer responsiveness.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify SAJobMarket and its operators against any claims, losses, or expenses arising from content you submit, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate access for users who violate these Terms, create risk for other users, or disrupt platform operation. You may stop using the site at any time. Certain clauses (including limitation of liability, intellectual property, and indemnification) survive termination.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be handled by the courts of South Africa, unless another forum is agreed in writing.

Changes to terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows when changes were made. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised terms.
