Terms & Conditions

• Automated distribution of job listings to job-seeking candidates
• Collection and delivery of candidate applications (resume and contact details) up to the purchased Resume Slot limit
• AI-generated Match Scores for each application against the job's stated requirements
• Basic applicant tracking within the platform dashboard

• Any guarantee of a minimum number of applications for any Job Post

AI Match Scores are generated by large language models and are advisory outputs only. They are not hiring decisions, not assessments of a candidate's character, and not legally defensible grounds for rejection in isolation.

Purehire does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness of AI Match Scores for any particular purpose. Model outputs may contain errors, biases, or omissions.

Recruiters bear sole and complete responsibility for compliance with all applicable Indian laws in their job postings and hiring practices, including:

Purehire's review or approval of a job posting does not constitute legal validation of that posting. Purehire is not a legal compliance service.

Job postings must not contain:

• Discrimination based on any of the following grounds (protected under Articles 15 and 16 of the Constitution of India and applicable employment law): Caste, Gender, Religion, Age, Race, Disability, Sexual orientation, Marital status, Pregnancy or maternity status, Language, Region of origin
• False or misleading information about the role, salary, company, or working conditions
• Requirements that are illegal under Indian employment law (e.g. waiving statutory entitlements)
• Content that facilitates or implies sexual harassment
• Requirements for payment from candidates (fee-based job scams)
• Roles that involve illegal activity under any Indian law
• Vague or non-specific roles designed to harvest candidate data without genuine hiring intent

• No automated scraping, bots, or programmatic platform access without written authorisation
• No multiple accounts or circumvention of platform limits
• No fraudulent payment methods
• No misrepresentation of company identity, size, or role details
• No spamming candidates through contact information obtained via Purehire
• No harassment or abusive communication directed at candidates

Upon downloading or accessing candidate data, the Recruiter becomes an independent Data Fiduciary under DPDPA 2023 for that data and assumes independent legal responsibility for its processing.

Permitted use:

• Evaluation and communication solely for the specific role the candidate applied to

Prohibited uses:

Recruiters must maintain their own data security measures for downloaded candidate data. Purehire is not liable for candidate data misuse that occurs after download from the platform.

Job descriptions authored by the Recruiter remain the sole intellectual property of the Recruiter. Purehire acquires only a limited, non-exclusive licence to display and distribute the job posting on the platform for the duration of the Job Post.

Candidate personal data (resumes, contact details, application content) is owned by the candidate as the Data Principal under DPDPA 2023. Purehire holds and processes this data as Data Fiduciary under a licence granted by the candidate's consent at the point of application. Purehire does not claim ownership of candidate personal data.

AI Match Scores are generated outputs of Purehire's platform. They are derived works created by Purehire's AI pipeline and are proprietary to Purehire. Recruiters receive a limited, non-transferable licence to use AI Match Scores solely for evaluating candidates for the specific role to which those scores relate.

All platform code, algorithms, UI designs, trademarks, and the Purehire brand are the exclusive intellectual property of Febin and Dale Ventures Private Limited. No licence to these is granted to Recruiters beyond the right to use the platform as described in these Terms.

By using Purehire, Recruiters grant Purehire a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use anonymised and aggregated data derived from platform usage — including job category trends, salary range distributions, and application volume patterns — to:

• Improve the Purehire platform and AI models
• Generate industry analytics and benchmarks
• Train or refine AI scoring models

• Prices are displayed inclusive of applicable taxes at checkout.
• Purehire reserves the right to change pricing with 30 days' advance email notice to registered Recruiters.
• Price changes do not apply retroactively to Job Posts already purchased.

• All payments are processed by Razorpay. Purehire does not store card numbers, UPI credentials, or banking details.
• Accepted payment methods are those listed on Razorpay's checkout at the time of payment.
• A Job Post is activated only upon successful payment confirmation. Failed payments result in no Job Post being created.

• Applicable GST will be computed and displayed at checkout.
• A tax invoice will be issued to the email address on the Recruiter's account within 2 business days of payment.
• Recruiters must provide accurate GST registration details (if applicable) at account setup. Purehire is not liable for incorrect invoices resulting from inaccurate information provided by the Recruiter.

• Each Job Post is valid for 30 calendar days from the date and time of activation.
• At expiry, the Job Post is automatically deactivated. No further applications will be accepted.
• Expired Job Posts cannot be reactivated. A new purchase is required for continued listing.

• Each Job Post includes 250 Resume Slots as standard.
• Once 250 applications are received, the job listing is automatically closed to further applications.
• Unused slots at expiry are forfeited and have no monetary value.
• Slots are non-transferable between Job Posts.

• Additional slots may be purchased in blocks of 100 at ₹30 per block while the Job Post is active.
• Top-ups may be purchased at any time while the Job Post is active, except within 6 hours of the Job Post's scheduled expiry time.
• Top-up slots purchased for one Job Post cannot be transferred to another.
• Top-up slots expire with the Job Post and are forfeited with no refund if the Job Post expires before they are used.

All purchases of Job Posts and Resume Slot top-ups are non-refundable once the Job Post is activated (i.e. live on the platform).

A refund or remediation is available only if all three of the following conditions are met:

1. The Job Post was paid for but failed to go live due to a documented platform error on Purehire's side — not a payment failure, browser issue, or Recruiter error.
2. The Recruiter reports the issue to support@febinanddale.com within 7 calendar days of the failed posting.
3. Purehire's support team is unable to resolve the posting error and make the Job Post live within 5 business days of the report.

• All refund requests must be submitted to support@febinanddale.com with subject line: [REFUND REQUEST] Job Post ID: <id>
• Purehire will respond within 7 business days of receipt.
• Approved refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval.

Purehire's total aggregate liability to a Recruiter for any claim arising under these Terms is limited to the amount paid by that Recruiter for the specific Job Post to which the claim relates.

This cap applies regardless of the legal theory of the claim — contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise.

Purehire is not liable under any circumstances for:

• Lost profits or lost business revenue
• Missed hiring deadlines or consequential staffing costs
• Reputational harm
• Loss of data caused by the Recruiter's own systems
• Actions or omissions of candidates
• Third-party service failures (Razorpay, Google Gemini, Groq AI) that are outside Purehire's reasonable control

• The accuracy, completeness, or truthfulness of resumes submitted by candidates
• Candidate conduct before, during, or after the hiring process
• Recruiter's own compliance with employment law
• Disputes between Recruiters and candidates
• Outcomes of hiring decisions, including candidate performance or no-shows

The platform is provided "as is." Purehire makes no warranty — express, implied, or statutory — regarding: uninterrupted or error-free service; a minimum number of applications for any Job Post; the fitness of AI Match Scores for any specific hiring decision; or the accuracy of AI-generated outputs.

Triggered by: First instance of a non-fraudulent, non-harmful violation (e.g. incomplete job description, minor inaccuracy in a posting).

• Purehire will notify the Recruiter by email specifying the violation and required corrective action.
• The Recruiter has 5 business days to remedy the issue.
• No service disruption occurs at this level.

Material changes — to pricing, refund policy, data rights, liability caps, or termination conditions — require:

• 30 days' advance notice via email to the Recruiter's registered email address.
• Active re-acceptance: Recruiters must affirmatively accept the new Terms before their next purchase or login after the change takes effect.

Non-material changes — formatting, contact details, clarifications that do not alter rights or obligations — take effect upon publication, with notification via the platform or email.

Previous versions of these Terms are available upon request to support@febinanddale.com. The effective date of the current version is displayed at the top of this document.

Before initiating formal proceedings, the Recruiter must:

1. Submit a detailed grievance to support@febinanddale.com with the subject line: [DISPUTE] <brief description>

3. Engage in good-faith discussion for a further 14 calendar days.

• Governing law: the laws of the Republic of India.
• Nothing prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without first completing the informal process.
