1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using CareerPortals.co.za (“the Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. These terms apply to all visitors, job seekers, candidates, employers, and recruiters.
2. About the Platform
CareerPortals.co.za is an online job portal connecting South African employers, recruiters, and job seekers. The platform lists job vacancies, bursaries, learnerships, internships, and career opportunities. The Site is operated by MBICT (Mbvelo IT Consulting). For enquiries, contact in**@***********co.za.
3. Employer & Recruiter Terms
- Employers and recruiters must register and purchase an active job package to post listings. Keep account credentials secure and notify us of suspected unauthorised use.
- All job listings must be for genuine, lawful vacancies. Fraudulent, misleading, or discriminatory listings are strictly prohibited.
- Listings must comply with the Employment Equity Act, Basic Conditions of Employment Act, and all applicable South African labour law.
- CareerPortals.co.za reserves the right to remove any listing that violates these terms without refund, subject to any non-excludable statutory rights.
- Employers are responsible for the accuracy of all information in their listings and for their recruitment decisions, application processes, and lawful handling of applicants’ personal information.
- Packages are billed monthly. Cancellation stops future billing but does not entitle the user to a pro-rata refund for the current billing period, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
4. Job Seeker & Candidate Terms
- Job seekers may browse listings free of charge.
- Candidates who create a profile consent to their anonymised profile being shown to verified recruiter subscribers in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Personal information is handled subject to POPIA and the rights described in that policy.
- Candidates are responsible for the accuracy of their profile and CV information.
- CareerPortals.co.za is not a recruitment agency and does not guarantee employment outcomes.
- The platform does not charge candidates for profile creation or job applications.
Check an opportunity and the employer’s official application instructions before providing sensitive information. Never disclose account passwords or banking PINs in response to a listing.
5. Acceptable Use
Users must not:
- Post false, misleading, or fraudulent content.
- Scrape, harvest, or copy Site content without written permission, except to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Attempt to bypass security, access controls, or payment gates.
- Use the platform for spamming, phishing, or any illegal activity.
- Upload malicious files, viruses, or harmful code.
Violation of these acceptable use terms may result in immediate account suspension and legal action. We may restrict access or remove unlawful content to protect users and the platform.
6. Intellectual Property
All content on CareerPortals.co.za — including design, logos, text, and software — is the property of MBICT or its licensors and is protected under South African copyright law. Job listings remain the intellectual property of the posting employer. By submitting a listing, the employer authorises us to host, display, and distribute it through the platform for the purpose of providing the service. You may not reproduce or distribute Site content without written permission, except where applicable law permits.
7. Limitation of Liability
CareerPortals.co.za provides the platform “as is.” We do not verify the accuracy of employer listings or guarantee that applying for a listed vacancy will result in an interview or offer. Users should independently assess listings and external websites. We are not a party to employment contracts concluded between employers and candidates.
To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, MBICT shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential loss arising from use of the Site. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for gross negligence where prohibited, or removes rights and remedies under the Consumer Protection Act or other applicable legislation.
8. Payments and Refunds
Payments are processed securely by PayFast. All prices are in South African Rand (ZAR) and include VAT where applicable. Monthly packages are non-refundable once activated, subject to statutory cancellation, cooling-off, refund, and other consumer rights that apply and cannot be excluded.
If a technical error prevents access to a paid package, contact in**@***********co.za within 7 days for a resolution. Include your account email and order reference, but do not email full payment-card details. This reporting period does not limit any longer statutory remedy period. Any applicable mandatory legal rights take precedence over these terms.
9. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any dispute shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the South African courts, without limiting any right to approach a competent regulator, ombud, tribunal, or other dispute-resolution body. The Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECT Act), Consumer Protection Act (CPA), and Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) apply where relevant.
Please first contact in**@***********co.za with questions or complaints so that we can seek to resolve the matter.
10. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms at any time. The updated version will be posted at careerportals.co.za/terms-of-use/ with the effective date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Changes do not retrospectively remove accrued rights or override mandatory legal notice requirements.
11. Effective Date
These Terms of Use are effective from 8 November 2026.
