CorpeRate User Agreement

INTRODUCTION

By using our services you are agreeing to these Terms of Service (“Terms”) which forms a legally binding agreement or contract (“Contract”) between you and CorpeRate App Limited (“CorpeRate” also referred to as “We” and “Us”). This Contract applies to your use and access to the CorpeRate mobile application, Corperate.ng, CorpeRate WebApp, and other CorpeRate services that refer to these Terms (“Services”).

Whether you are using our services as an individual or on behalf of a legal entity such as a company, if you do not agree to these Terms do not join or otherwise access any of our services. These Terms govern the Contract, as well as your access and use of our services and you can terminate this Contract at any time by deleting or uninstalling the software and refraining from accessing our services.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Such changes will be made known to you by way of notice, providing you with the opportunity to review the changes before they are applied. Should you no longer agree to these Terms or object to any changes made to them, you may close your account. Continued use of the service will serve as appropriate consent to these Terms or any updated versions of them.

1. ELIGIBILITY TO USE THE SERVICES

Account holders are hereby referred to as “Users”. To use Our services you must be at least 16 years old, you must agree to creating only one CorpeRate account, for your person, using your real name, and you must agree to refrain from creating accounts using false information. You must not create an account for a person below the age of 16 or a legal entity which you are not authorised to represent or bind to these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, organisation, or other legal entity, you warrant that you have the authority to enter such entity into this Contract, in which case the words “User”, “you” and “your”, as used in these Terms, shall also refer to said entity.

Should you choose to verify your account, you agree to pay the required processing fee and you represent and warrant that you have met the required standards and therefore have the requisite qualifications, certifications, permissions and/or authority to carry out such verification. You acknowledge that this fee is non-refundable including but not limited to where the verification is restricted or denied due to breach of our Terms. You agree that each user is solely responsible for submitting the accurate documents for their verification and CorpeRate is not liable for any inconsistencies that may arise.

2. PRIVACY

You agree that by using our Services, you consent to the collection, use, storage and sharing of information as set out in our Privacy Policy found here: https://corperate.ng/legal/privacy . Our Privacy Policy lays out how we and our affiliates handle, use and process your personal data which you provide to us when you use our Services.

3. CONTENT

You agree to using our services at your own risk. You understand that you may be exposed to content that is offensive, inappropriate, harmful, or deceptive, and that you may also encounter content that is not complete, true, accurate nor reliable. You agree to be responsible for your content and the use of our Services including compliance to these Terms and any relevant laws.

CorpeRate cannot guarantee to monitor content posted at all times and cannot always prevent the misuse of our services and you agree that We are not responsible for this misuse. All content is the sole responsibility of the originator of such content and We reserve the right to remove objectionable content and abusive Users. There is no tolerance for content or Users that violate these Terms, including copyright or trademark violations or harassments, impersonations, or other unlawful conduct.

CorpeRate provides a platform where Users seeking employment can apply to and accept job offers posted by other Users on the platform. You agree that CorpeRate does not supervise, direct, control or monitor Users in their performance of these services nor are We responsible. Furthermore, you acknowledge that CorpeRate does not endorse any particular user’s application to these job offers, nor shall anything create or imply an agency or joint venture relationship between CorpeRate and any user applying to or offering any jobs.

CorpeRate also provides Users the ability to register for and/or attend events organised by other Users. You agree that We are not liable for the conduct or behaviour of any Users at such events. You understand that CorpeRate does not endorse any particular event listed on our platform nor do We review or vet any of these events. Each user is responsible for their own conduct and is taken to have understood and agreed to the terms of the events they register for and/or attend.

4. PAID SERVICES

CorpeRate's Mock Interview Session is a paid service offered by CorpeRate that can provide you with consultation sessions (“sessions”) conducted by independent career consultants called HR Experts (“HRE” or “HREs”). You may select sessions from available time slots and purchase service packages that include mock interviews, c.v reviews, feedback, and so on.

You are required to make payment for selected service packages before your booking can be confirmed. Failure to complete pre-session activities within the stipulated time frame, including providing necessary information required to run each session, may result in the loss of payment made for the service.

HREs are not employees or agents of CorpeRate and we do not endorse the behaviour or the services provided by any HRE. The HREs, and not CorpeRate, are solely responsible for honouring any services purchased by you. If an HRE becomes unavailable to provide a purchased service without providing at least 24 hours' notice, you may be entitled to a refund for the missed session. Mock interview services are non-refundable, except under specific exemptions highlighted in this agreement. If you miss a session or fail to provide at least 24-hour notice to reschedule, the payments made towards the services will be forfeited. Payments made are transferred to the relevant HRE promptly, following the completion of the respective session, less any service fees charged by CorpeRate.

You agree to adhere to CorpeRate’s terms and other service guidelines provided during the course of the service offering. You acknowledge that sessions may be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes, and agree to maintain the confidentiality of any shared materials or information. The booking system used to operate this service is SimplyBook.me Ltd. and you agree to adhere to their terms found here: https://simplybook.me/en/terms-and-conditions#tab-for-clients.

CorpeRate shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use the mock interview services. CorpeRate’s liability shall not exceed the fees paid by you for the services. For so long as CorpeRate operates the Mock Interview Session Service, you hereby agree not to hire or otherwise engage with any HRE to whom you are introduced via Our sessions other than directly through Our sessions. To the extent you breach the foregoing restriction, you and the applicable HRE shall be jointly and severally liable for any losses incurred by Us as well as liquidated damages in the amount of 250,000 Naira per breach, and CorpeRate will have no obligations or liability whatsoever in respect of any such engagements.

THE AFOREMENTIONED LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON TORT, WARRANTY, CONTRACT NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CORPERATE OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF THE PROPOSED REMEDIES HAVE FAILED THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

10. GENERAL

The most current version of this Contract will serve as the only agreement between you and CorpeRate and will supersede any and all previous agreements for the Services. This agreement will be subject to the governing laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and enforceable in the appropriate courts. If an authorised court finds any part or clause of this Contract unenforceable, you and we agree that those parts be modified to fit the intended meaning. If the court is unable, you and we agree that the court should remove said unenforceable parts and still enforce the rest of this Contract. CorpeRate’s failure to enforce any right, provision or breach of this Contract will not amount to a waiver of CopeRate’s right to enforce this Contract.
