Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the BraveLight Systems platform at bravelightsystems.com (the "Platform"), creating an account, or clicking "I agree", you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms").

If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company or organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and references to "you" include both you personally and that entity.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Platform.

2. Definitions

3. Eligibility

To use BraveLight Systems, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
• Not be barred from using such services under applicable law
• Provide accurate and truthful information during registration

Employers must be a legally registered business or a sole proprietor operating a legitimate business. We reserve the right to verify employer identity and reject or suspend accounts that do not meet this standard.

4. Accounts & Registration

4.1 Account creation

You must register for an account to use most features of the Platform. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information and to keep it updated.

All accounts require email verification before full access is granted. BraveLight Systems reserves the right to verify employer company details before activating posting privileges.

4.3 Account security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at security@bravelightsystems.com if you suspect unauthorised access.

4.4 One account per person

Each individual may hold only one candidate account. Employers may create one company account; additional team members are added through the team invitation feature, not separate accounts.

4.5 Account types are separate

Employer and candidate accounts are separate. A person who is both a candidate and an employer must create separate accounts for each role.

5. Employer Terms

5.1 Job postings

Employers may post job listings subject to their active plan. Job postings must:

• Describe a real, currently open position at your organisation
• Be accurate and not misleading regarding compensation, location or role

• Not solicit payment from candidates or require any fee to apply

When you access candidate profiles or receive applications, you:

• May use candidate data only for evaluating them for the specific role they applied for or that you contacted them about
• Must not share, sell, or transfer candidate data to any third party
• Must delete candidate data if the candidate requests it and they are not in an active hiring process with you

5.3 Team members

You are responsible for all actions taken by team members you invite to your account. Remove team members promptly when they leave your organisation. BraveLight Systems is not liable for actions taken by team members under your account.

5.4 Interview and hiring decisions

BraveLight Systems facilitates connections and may provide interview services but does not make hiring decisions on your behalf. All hiring decisions are yours alone and must comply with applicable employment laws.

6. Candidate Terms

6.1 Profile accuracy

You must ensure your profile, resume, and all information you provide is accurate, truthful, and not misleading. Misrepresentation of qualifications, experience, or identity may result in account suspension and could constitute fraud.

6.2 Free to use

The Platform is free for candidates. We will never charge candidates for creating a profile, applying to jobs, or any other feature. If any party asks you to pay to apply for a job on this Platform, report it to us immediately.

6.3 Profile visibility

By creating a profile, you consent to it being visible to verified employers on the Platform. You can control visibility through your privacy settings and can delete your account at any time.

6.4 Application conduct

You agree to only apply for roles you genuinely intend to pursue. Applying to jobs solely to collect information or test systems is prohibited.

6.5 No guarantee of employment

BraveLight Systems does not guarantee that you will receive interviews, job offers, or employment. We connect you with employers but have no control over their hiring decisions.
