1Introduction & acceptance
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Placement Plus platform ("the Platform"), a product of Eezyverify (Pty) Ltd ("Eezyverify", "Placement Plus", "we", "us" or "our").
By accessing the Platform, registering an account, or using any of our services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Platform.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.
2Definitions
- "Client" — the organisation that has contracted Placement Plus for screening and selection services.
- "Candidate" — an individual whose personal information is processed through the Platform for screening, assessment, or selection purposes.
- "Screening Services" — identity, criminal, credit, driving, qualification and employment verification checks facilitated through the Platform.
- "Verification Sub-processors" — third-party providers that deliver the underlying Screening Services.
3Use of the Platform & licence
Subject to these Terms and the payment of applicable fees, Eezyverify grants the Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform for its internal recruitment screening and selection purposes for the duration of the subscription.
You agree not to: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Platform; (b) use the Platform for any unlawful purpose; (c) upload content that infringes the rights of any third party; or (d) attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Platform.
4Accounts & access
Clients are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for all activity that occurs under their accounts. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorised use or security breach.
5Client responsibilities
Clients are responsible for ensuring that they have obtained all necessary consents and authorisations from candidates before submitting their personal information for screening, in accordance with POPIA and these Terms.
6Screening & verification services
Screening Services are facilitated by Placement Plus and performed by independent Verification Sub-processors. Placement Plus does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any individual verification result, which is dependent on the relevant sub-processor and the data sources available to it.
Third-party verification services are charged separately and are not included in subscription pricing.
7Fees & payment
Subscription fees are set out in your order or on our pricing page. All prices exclude VAT and exclude the cost of any third-party verification services, which are billed separately.
Invoices are payable within the stated terms. Late payment may result in suspension of access to the Platform.
8POPIA compliance
Placement Plus processes personal information in accordance with POPIA and the eight conditions for lawful processing:
| Condition | Our commitment |
|---|---|
| 01 · Accountability | We are accountable for compliance with POPIA across all processing, with an appointed Information Officer registered with the Information Regulator. |
| 02 · Processing limitation | We process personal information lawfully, minimally, and on a basis of consent, contractual necessity, legal obligation, or legitimate interest. |
| 03 · Purpose specification | We collect personal information for specific, explicit, and lawful purposes set out in our Privacy Policy. |
| 04 · Further processing limitation | Any further processing is compatible with the original purpose and permitted under POPIA or with the data subject's consent. |
| 05 · Information quality | We take reasonable steps to ensure personal information is complete, accurate, and updated where necessary. |
| 06 · Openness | We maintain a public Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy and disclose sources on request. |
| 07 · Security safeguards | AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, role-based access control, MFA, immutable audit logs, regular pen testing, and a documented incident response process. |
| 08 · Data subject participation | Data subjects can access, correct, delete, object to, or withdraw consent for processing. Requests are answered within 30 calendar days. |
9Data subject rights
Under POPIA, data subjects have the right of access, correction, objection, deletion, withdrawal of consent, and to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator. To exercise any right, contact our Information Officer at privacy@placementplus.co.za. We respond within 30 calendar days.
10Automated decision-making
Our Platform generates recommendations and automates workflows but does not make solely automated decisions producing legal consequences without appropriate human oversight. Data subjects may request human intervention, an explanation, or the ability to contest a decision.
11Data breaches
In the event of a security compromise involving personal information, Placement Plus will notify affected clients within 24 hours of becoming aware of the breach and will assist with notification to the Information Regulator and affected data subjects where required by POPIA.
12Cross-border data transfers
Cloud-based processing may result in passive cross-border transfers. Such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards, including data processing agreements with standard contractual clauses, due diligence on cloud providers, and restrictions on onward transfers. Transfers only occur where the recipient provides protection substantially similar to POPIA, where necessary to perform a contract, with the data subject's explicit consent, or for the data subject's benefit.
13Intellectual property
All rights, title, and interest in the Platform, including all software, designs, and documentation, remain the property of Eezyverify or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.
14Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information received from the other party in connection with the Platform, and to use it only for the purposes of these Terms.
15Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Eezyverify's aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Platform is limited to the fees paid by the Client to Eezyverify in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. In no event shall Eezyverify be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.
16Indemnity
The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Eezyverify from any claim arising from the Client's failure to obtain necessary consents from candidates, or from any breach of these Terms.
17Termination
Either party may terminate access to the Platform for material breach not cured within 30 days of written notice. Upon termination, Eezyverify will retain personal information only for as long as required by law or these Terms.
18Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the South African courts, unless otherwise required by mandatory law.
19Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Effective" date at the top of this page indicates when they were last revised. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
