1. Who we are
EmployTrail is operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] (RC [RC NUMBER]), [REGISTERED ADDRESS] (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using EmployTrail you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy.
2. Your account
- You must be at least 18 years old [AGE TO BE CONFIRMED BY COUNSEL] and give true, current information.
- You must confirm your phone number. Employees verify their NIN once, and one NIN can have only one account.
- Keep your password and the codes we text you private. You’re responsible for what happens under your account.
3. Employees
- Add only jobs you actually did, with honest dates and titles. Jobs stay marked as unconfirmed until the employer named answers.
- You decide which businesses see your trail by approving each request. You can withdraw access at any time.
- You may reply to exit reviews and dispute decisions. Replies and disputes must be truthful and respectful.
4. Businesses and households
- We approve every business before it can confirm jobs, view candidates or issue letters. We may ask for documents and refuse or withdraw approval.
- You may use what you see on EmployTrail only to make a hiring or employment decision about that person. You must not copy, sell, publish or share it with anyone outside your organisation.
- Confirm, deny or review a job only on the basis of your own records. Exit reviews must be fair and factual.
- You are responsible for everyone you invite to your team and for what they do on EmployTrail.
- You must comply with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 when you use information about candidates.
5. Guarantors
Guarantors agree to the guarantor terms, which form part of these terms.
6. Credits and payment
- Businesses buy credits through Paystack. A credit is used when you request access to a candidate, whether or not they approve. A home visit uses more credits, as shown on the pricing page.
- Credits are not refundable except where the law requires or we decide otherwise [REFUND POLICY TO BE CONFIRMED].
- We may change prices for future purchases. Credits you already hold keep their value.
7. Things you must not do
- Give false information, impersonate anyone, or create a trail, review or guarantee you know to be untrue.
- Try to guess EmployTrail IDs, scrape the service, or get around rate limits or access controls.
- Use EmployTrail to harass, discriminate against or contact people for anything other than employment.
- Forward personal claim links or invite links to someone they weren’t sent to.
8. Letters
Letters issued through EmployTrail are statements by the issuing business. Anyone can check a letter’s code. A business can withdraw a letter, and checks will then show it as withdrawn.
9. What EmployTrail is, and isn’t
We record what employers confirm and what guarantors sign, and we label clearly how far each item has been checked. We don’t guarantee that what an employer, employee or guarantor tells us is accurate, and “worth asking about” flags are prompts for a conversation, not findings. Hiring decisions are yours.
10. Suspension and closing accounts
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts others at risk. You can ask us to close your account at any time by contacting us.
11. Liability
[LIMITATION OF LIABILITY CLAUSE TO BE DRAFTED BY COUNSEL.]
12. Changes
We may update these terms. If a change is significant we’ll tell you before it takes effect. Continuing to use EmployTrail means you accept the updated terms.
13. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. [COURTS / ARBITRATION SEAT TO BE CONFIRMED BY COUNSEL.]
