Terms of Service
Also read our Privacy Policy. Questions? Contact us.
1. Who we are
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Topmind Recruitment website, talent desk, employer desk, sponsor tools, investor and idea hubs, and related services (together, the “Service”). The Service is operated by Topmind Recruitment (“Topmind”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
2. Eligibility
You must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law. If you register on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind that organisation. Youth and talent accounts are intended for people seeking work, training, scholarships or related opportunities. Employer, sponsor and investor accounts are for legitimate organisational use only.
3. Accounts and accuracy
You are responsible for the accuracy of information you provide (including CV content, photos, contact details and organisation data) and for keeping your login credentials secure. You must not impersonate another person, create fake employers or vacancies, or upload content you do not have the right to use. We may suspend or close accounts that appear abusive, fraudulent or unsafe.
4. What Topmind is — and is not
Topmind is an opportunity intelligence and matching desk. We score and surface jobs, training, scholarships and related listings against your profile. We are not a placement agency, immigration adviser, law firm or guaranteed-employment service. We do not charge talent a placement fee. Official applications remain with employers or programme operators. AI-assisted features may help parse CVs or summarise pathways; outputs can be incomplete or wrong — you must verify important facts yourself.
5. Opportunities and third-party sites
Listings may come from our curated catalogue, employer posts, public APIs, news signals or other sources. Vacancies can close, change or be misstated by third parties. Links may lead to employer career pages or external sites we do not control. International work, visas and sponsorship depend on employer policy and immigration law — nothing on the Service is legal advice or a promise of a visa or job offer.
6. Acceptable use
You must not: scrape or harvest personal data at scale; spam users; post malware; attempt to bypass security; misrepresent sponsorship or “guaranteed jobs”; charge other users for access to Topmind; or use the Service to discriminate unlawfully. Employers must post genuine opportunities. Sponsors must not demand improper fees from youth. Hub members remain bound by any NDA they sign on the desk.
7. Paid seats and billing
Some features (such as Idea Hub or Investor Hub) may require a paid seat. Fees, renewal and cancellation terms are shown at checkout. Unless required by law, fees are non-refundable once access is granted. We may change pricing with notice for future periods.
8. Intellectual property
Topmind owns the Service software, branding and original content. You retain rights in your CV, photos and materials you upload, and grant us a limited licence to host, process and display them as needed to operate matching, employer ranking and related features. Do not upload content that infringes others’ rights.
9. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of uninterrupted access, perfect matching accuracy, or fitness for a particular career outcome. Your use of third-party sites and immigration pathways is at your own risk.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Topmind is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost opportunities, salaries or visas. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) fees you paid us for the Service in the three months before the claim or (b) USD 50, except where liability cannot be limited by law (including fraud or death/personal injury caused by negligence where such rules apply).
11. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms, create risk for other users, or if we discontinue a feature. Provisions that should survive (including IP, disclaimers, liability limits and governing law) will survive termination.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the effective date on this page. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and close your account.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Courts in Lagos State have jurisdiction, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections that may apply where you live.
