Terms of Service

1. About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Jobsearchers, a subsidiary of Machron Tech (“Jobsearchers”, “we”, “us”) for using jobsearchers.in, our mobile apps and related services (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you accept them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Refund Policy form part of these terms.

2. Who can use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract under Indian law. If you use the Service for a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind that company to these terms.

3. Your account

• Give accurate information and keep it up to date. One person, one account.
• Keep your password private. You are responsible for activity on your account; tell us at once if you think someone else has used it.
• You may close your account at any time (see the Privacy Policy for what happens to your data).

4. For candidates

• Free to apply. Searching and applying to jobs on Jobsearchers is free. Paid services are optional.
• When you apply, the employer receives your profile and resume. Only apply where you are happy for that employer to see them.
• We do not guarantee interviews, offers or employment. Hiring decisions are the employer's alone.
• The resume score and suggestions are automated guidance, not a promise of how any employer's system will treat your resume.
• Information in your profile and resume must be truthful and yours to share.

Never pay for a job. Genuine employers do not charge candidates to apply, interview or join. If anyone using Jobsearchers asks you for money, do not pay, and report it to support@jobsearchers.in.

5. For employers

• Post only genuine, currently open vacancies that you are authorised to fill, with accurate pay, location and requirements.
• Never charge candidates any fee, deposit or “training cost” to apply, interview or join. Doing so ends your account immediately.
• Do not discriminate unlawfully, for example on religion, caste, sex, disability or place of birth.
• Use candidate data you receive only to consider that candidate for that role. You hold it as a Data Fiduciary under the DPDP Act, 2023: keep it secure and delete it when the hiring purpose is over.
• We may verify your company, and may refuse, edit for format, or remove any post.

6. Reviews and other content you post

Reviews, salary reports, job posts and other content you submit remain yours. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display and distribute them on the Service.

Content must be honest and your own experience, and must not:

• be defamatory, obscene, threatening, or harass anyone;
• name or identify individual employees, or reveal anyone's personal data;
• disclose trade secrets or information you are bound to keep confidential;
• infringe anyone's copyright or trademark, or be false or misleading;
• contain anything prohibited under the Information Technology Act, 2000 or the IT Rules, 2021.

Reviews are shown anonymously. We will not reveal who wrote one unless Indian law or a valid court or government order requires it.

7. What you may not do

• Scrape, copy or harvest jobs, profiles or reviews by automated means, or re-sell our data.
• Post fake jobs, impersonate a person or company, or create accounts in bulk.
• Send spam, collect candidates' contact details for anything other than the job they applied to, or run recruitment-fee schemes.
• Upload malware, probe or overload our systems, or get around any security or usage limit (such as monthly scan limits).
• Use the Service for anything unlawful.

8. Our role and third-party content

Job posts, company reviews and salary reports come from employers and users, not from us. We act as an intermediary under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and follow the due-diligence duties of the IT Rules, 2021. We do not endorse third-party content and are not a party to any employment agreement between candidates and employers.

To report unlawful content or a fraudulent job, write to our Grievance Officer (see Grievance Redressal). We act on valid reports and legal orders within the time the law sets.

9. Company names, logos and where listings come from

Company names, logos and trademarks shown on Jobsearchers belong to their respective owners. We show them only to identify the employer behind a listing or profile; this does not mean that company is affiliated with, sponsors or endorses Jobsearchers.

Listings and company logos are supplied by the employer or a person authorised to represent it, and employers confirm they have the right to use any logo they upload. Some listings may also come from third-party job sources, such as a company's public careers page or a job feed; where they do, we show that.

We verify employers by checking that their work email is on the company's own website domain, or through other evidence they provide. A “Verified” badge means only that this check passed, not that we vouch for the job. If you own a trademark and believe it is used wrongly, write to support@jobsearchers.in and we will act promptly.

10. Paid services

Optional services such as resume reviews and mock interviews are described, priced and scheduled when you book them. Prices are in Indian rupees and include applicable taxes unless stated. Cancellations and refunds follow our Refund Policy.

11. Pro membership

• Price: Pro is a monthly subscription for candidates: ₹99/month, or ₹49/month on the student plan for candidates with a verified college or university email. The exact price is shown before you authorise payment, and that is the price that applies.
• Introductory price: new members pay ₹1 for the first 3 months. It is available once per person (one account and one mobile number), and it is charged when you authorise the subscription.
• Automatic renewal: after the introductory period, Pro renews automatically every month at the monthly price, charged through Razorpay to the payment method you authorised, until you cancel. We email you 7 days and 1 day before the first full-price charge.
• Cancelling: cancel any time from the Pro section of your account. Cancelling stops future charges; you keep Pro until the end of the period you have already paid for.
• Refunds follow our Refund Policy.

12. Our intellectual property

The Jobsearchers name, logo, the Cam character, site design and software belong to us or our licensors. You may not copy or use them without our written permission, except to share links to the Service.

13. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

We work hard to keep the Service accurate and available, but it is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we do not guarantee that job posts, reviews or salary data are complete or accurate, or that the Service will be uninterrupted.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss (such as lost opportunities or earnings), and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it arose. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Indian law, including your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

14. Indemnity

If you break these terms or the law while using the Service, and that leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs from that claim.

15. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, post fraudulent jobs, or put other users at risk, where possible after telling you why. You can stop using the Service and close your account at any time.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Please contact us first: most issues are resolved quickly through the grievance process. Otherwise the courts at Chennai have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any right you have as a consumer to approach a consumer commission.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. For material changes we will give notice on the site or by email before they take effect; continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new terms.
