The rules for using Career Gateway
Terms & Conditions
Career Gateway is free for job seekers. Listings come from employers and other sources, so always confirm details with the employer and never pay anyone for a job.
About these terms
These terms apply when you use the Career Gateway app ("the app"), whether or not you create an account. By using the app you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
You can browse opportunities, search and save listings on your device without an account. Some features — such as saving to your profile across devices and choosing notification categories — need a free account.
What the app does
The app helps job seekers in South Africa find jobs, learnerships, internships, bursaries and similar opportunities. Listings are gathered from employers, recruiters and public sources and summarised so they are easier to read on a phone.
We never charge job seekers
Career Gateway is free for job seekers. We never ask you to pay for a job, an application, an interview, training or a placement. If anyone asks you for money in connection with a listing, don't pay and report it to us at support@careergateway.co.za.
Listings come from third parties
We work to keep listings accurate and current, but we can't guarantee that a listing is complete, still open or genuine. Closing dates, pay and requirements can change without notice.
Always confirm the details with the employer and apply through the employer's official channel. Showing a listing doesn't mean we endorse the employer, and we aren't part of any hiring decision.
Using the app with or without an account
- Without an account you can browse, search, and save listings. Those saved listings are kept only on your device and are removed if you uninstall the app or sign out.
- An account is free and lets you save listings to your profile (available on any device you sign in to) and choose which categories you're notified about.
- You sign in with your email address and a one-time code. Keep access to your email secure.
- Give accurate details. You're responsible for activity on your account.
- You can stop using the app at any time and ask us to delete your account.
Acceptable use
When you use the app, don't:
- disrupt the service, or try to access other people's accounts or our systems;
- copy, scrape or resell listings in bulk;
- use the app for anything unlawful, misleading or fraudulent.
Links to other websites
Listings link to employer and other third-party websites. We don't control those sites, and their own terms and privacy policies apply when you visit them.
Ownership
The app, its design and the Career Gateway name belong to us or our licensors. The app uses open-source software under its own licences, listed under Third-party notices.
Changes to the service
We may update, pause or stop features of the app. We may suspend accounts that break these terms or put other users at risk.
Liability
As far as the law allows, the app is provided "as is" and we aren't liable for loss that comes from using the app or relying on a listing. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act or any other South African law that can't be excluded.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and we'll tell you in the app about significant changes. Using the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Questions? Email support@careergateway.co.za.
