3.2 You must provide accurate, complete and current information when creating or maintaining your account and must update that information when necessary. You must not register using another person's identity or use an email address or phone number that you do not have the right or ability to access or control.

You must not share your account or login credentials with another person. If you believe that your account has been accessed or used without your permission, you must notify us promptly at [email protected].
3.4 Depending on the account type, registration or use of certain features may require verification of your mobile number, email address, identity or other information through methods such as one-time passwords or email verification. Employer accounts may also be subject to additional verification requirements as described in Section 7.
4.1 JobGrin operates an online platform through which Employers may publish job opportunities and Jobseekers may search for and apply to jobs. JobGrin is not the employer, recruiter or hiring entity for jobs posted by Employers and is not a party to any employment relationship or agreement between an Employer and a Jobseeker.
4.2 JobGrin does not make hiring decisions on behalf of Employers and does not guarantee the availability of any job, that an Employer will respond to an application, or that a Jobseeker will be selected or hired.
4.3 Where an Employer account is verified, the verification is based on the information and verification checks applicable to that account. Verification does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation or guarantee of the Employer, its business, its job listings or any employment opportunity. Users should exercise appropriate care before sharing sensitive information or accepting an employment offer.
5.1 Free access for Jobseekers. Jobseekers may use the Platform without paying a fee to search for jobs, create or manage a resume, or apply for jobs.

5.2 Profile visibility. You may control the visibility of your profile through the applicable candidate settings. If you choose to hide your profile, it will generally not be available to Employers through candidate searches. Hiding your profile does not withdraw an application you have already submitted or revoke information that an Employer has already received or accessed.
5.3 Applying for a job. When you apply for a job through the Platform, the relevant Employer may receive the information you provide as part of your application, which may include your name, contact details, resume and other profile or application information. The Employer may use this information to contact you regarding the application or employment opportunity.
5.4 Candidate searches and Unlocks. If your profile is available for Employer searches, an Employer may search for and view the information made available through the candidate-search functionality. Where applicable, an Employer may use an Unlock, credit or eligible Plan to access additional Jobseeker information, such as contact details or a downloadable resume, subject to the applicable access conditions.
5.5 Employer use of Jobseeker information. Employers are responsible for using Jobseeker information in accordance with applicable laws, these Terms and the purposes for which the information was provided or made available.

If you believe an Employer has misused your information or contacted you inappropriately, you may report the matter to us as described in Section 12.

We may request business, identity or other information, including GST, PAN or company details, and may use third-party verification services where appropriate. We may refuse, restrict, suspend or remove an Employer account or job where verification requirements are not satisfied or where we identify information that is inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise concerning. Information collected for verification is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
6.2 Posting a job. Every job you post must be genuine, lawful and accurate and must relate to a real employment opportunity. You must provide accurate information about the role, employer, location, compensation where required or stated, qualifications and other material details. You must not use a job listing to collect resumes or personal information for an unrelated purpose, advertise products or services, promote another business, or otherwise misuse the job-posting functionality.
6.3 No charging Jobseekers. You must not ask a Jobseeker to pay a fee, deposit or other amount in connection with a job opportunity, including for registration, interviews, training, uniforms, security deposits, joining or similar purposes, except where expressly permitted by applicable law and clearly disclosed where required. We may remove a job, restrict access or suspend or terminate an account where we reasonably believe this requirement has been violated.
6.4 Lawful hiring. You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to recruitment and employment, including applicable requirements concerning equal opportunity and non-discrimination. Job listings must not contain unlawful discriminatory requirements or otherwise violate applicable law.

We may also decline to publish or continue displaying Content that does not meet our requirements.
7.1 JobGrin may verify Employer accounts using information provided by the Employer, which may include a company email address, mobile number, one-time password (OTP), business registration details, GST or PAN information, and other information reasonably required for verification. We may use third-party verification or validation services where appropriate. Information collected for verification, registration or billing purposes is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
7.2 A job may be published only after the applicable Employer verification requirements have been completed. We may request additional information or re-verify an Employer account at any time where reasonably necessary. While verification is being completed or reviewed, we may restrict, suspend or remove access to Employer features or job listings.
7.3 Verification does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation or guarantee of an Employer, its business, its job listings or any employment opportunity. Jobseekers should exercise appropriate caution before sharing sensitive information or accepting an employment offer.

Unlocks, credits and resume downloads are subject to the applicable Plan, credit balance, usage limits and validity period presented to the Employer at the time of purchase or use.

9.5 Changes to Plans and pricing. JobGrin may change its Plans, pricing, features, usage limits or other commercial terms for future purchases. Changes will not affect the price or applicable entitlements of a Plan already purchased during its stated validity period, except where changes are required by law or reasonably necessary for security, technical or operational reasons.
10.1 AI-assisted features. The Platform may provide AI-assisted features from time to time, including features that help Jobseekers create or improve resumes, provide job recommendations, assist Employers in creating job descriptions, or support candidate search or recommendations. The specific AI-assisted features available may vary by account type, Plan and Platform functionality.
10.2 AI outputs. AI-generated or AI-assisted content, suggestions or recommendations may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or unsuitable for your particular circumstances. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying AI-generated content before relying on, publishing or using it, including resumes, profiles, job descriptions and other employment-related content.
10.3 Employer decisions. Any AI-generated candidate suggestions, rankings, recommendations or search assistance provided to Employers are intended only as tools to support the recruitment process.
