OctoSource Terms of Use

1. Introduction

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern all access to and use of the website and services operated by OctoSource Ltd., a company registered in Cyprus (“the Company”, “We”, “Us”). The Terms are written in masculine form for convenience, but apply to all genders equally.

By browsing, accessing, or using the website, submitting any information, or purchasing any product, you (“User”) agree to be fully bound by these Terms and waive any claim arising from your use of the website or reliance on its content.

The User is responsible for reviewing these Terms periodically. Continued use of the website following changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Use of the Website

2.1 User Representations

The User agrees to provide accurate, complete, and updated information. Submitting false, misleading, or unauthorized information constitutes a breach of these Terms and may expose the User to legal liability.

The User may not:

• Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, or harmful purposes;

3. Intellectual Property

All content on the website—including text, graphics, images, logos, trademarks, databases, layouts, videos, digital products, AI-generated materials, and proprietary tools—is the exclusive property of OctoSource Ltd. or its licensors.

The User may not:

Use of personal data is governed by the OctoSource Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

8. Indemnification

The User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its owners, employees, contractors, and partners from any claim, damage, loss, liability, or expense (including legal fees) arising from:

• Violation of these Terms;
• Submission of false, misleading, or unauthorized information;
• Breach of privacy or confidentiality obligations;
• Misuse of candidate data by employers or third parties;
• Misuse of Company tools, extensions, or digital products.

This clause survives termination of use and is non-negotiable.
