Limitation of Liability Regarding Information Leaks:
While we take reasonable technical and organisational measures as outlined in our Privacy Policy to protect your personal information, you acknowledge and agree that no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, Global Recruiting shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or harm arising directly or indirectly from the unauthorised access, use, or disclosure of your personal information, including but not limited to data breaches or security incidents, that are beyond our reasonable control.
This limitation of liability applies regardless of the cause of the unauthorised access, use, or disclosure, including but not limited to human error, software or hardware malfunctions, security vulnerabilities, or malicious attacks by third parties, provided that we have implemented and maintained commercially reasonable security practices.
We will, however, comply with all applicable legal obligations regarding data breach notification and will take reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of any such incidents.
General Limitation of Liability:
Further to the above, we will not be liable for any damages of any kind arising from the use of the Website or from any information, content, materials, products (including software) or services included on or otherwise made available to you to you through the Website, including, but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages, unless otherwise specified in writing or as otherwise mandated by applicable law.
Please Note: This clause aims to provide a reasonable level of protection while acknowledging the inherent risks of online data transmission and storage. It is crucial to have this reviewed by a legal professional in South Africa to ensure it is fully compliant with POPIA and other relevant legislation and adequately protects your business.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Global Recruiting, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any violation of these Terms by you or any activity related to your account (including negligent or wrongful conduct).
