Terms & Conditions
Platform scope
TalentProof is a technology platform that enables proof-based fresher hiring through candidate profiles, verified work signals, ProofScore, match scores, assessments, recruiter workflows, and hiring tools. TalentProof is not an employer, staffing agency, placement consultancy, employment exchange, background verification agency, or guarantor of any hiring outcome.
Recruiter Eligibility and Account Responsibility
Recruiter access is permitted only for genuine companies, founders, HR teams, talent acquisition teams, hiring managers, or authorised representatives using the platform for lawful hiring purposes.
You agree to provide accurate company, contact, billing, and hiring information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. TalentProof may verify, suspend, restrict, or terminate your account if any information is false, misleading, incomplete, suspicious, or unauthorised.
Permitted Use
You may use TalentProof only for genuine recruitment, fresher hiring, internship hiring, campus hiring, candidate evaluation, interview coordination, and related lawful hiring activities.
You must not use the platform to post fake jobs, collect candidate data without a genuine hiring requirement, mislead candidates, demand money from candidates, scrape data, copy platform workflows, reverse engineer scoring models, create duplicate accounts, resell access, or use candidate information for any non-hiring purpose.
Job Posting and Recruiter Conduct
Every job, internship, project, campus drive, or opportunity posted by you must be genuine, accurate, authorised, and lawful.
You are solely responsible for the role description, salary, location, eligibility criteria, selection process, offer terms, interview process, communication with candidates, and final hiring decision.
You agree not to discriminate against candidates on unlawful grounds, not to misrepresent salary or job security, not to ghost candidates after interviews without reasonable process, and not to make false commitments regarding offer letters, joining dates, compensation, or employment terms.
Candidate Data and Privacy
Candidate profiles, ProofScore, assessments, projects, certifications, internship details, contact details, messages, interview feedback, and all candidate-related information made available through TalentProof are confidential.
You may use candidate data only for evaluating candidates for genuine hiring opportunities through TalentProof. You must not sell, share, transfer, publish, scrape, download in bulk, screenshot for misuse, create an external database, or disclose candidate data to any third party without lawful authority and required consent.
Once you access candidate data for your own recruitment process, you are independently responsible for compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and rules made under it.
You must implement reasonable security safeguards and must promptly notify TalentProof at [security email] if any candidate data is lost, leaked, misused, accessed without authorisation, or compromised.
Upon termination of access, request by TalentProof, or completion of the hiring purpose, you must delete candidate data that is no longer required and confirm deletion if requested.
ProofScore, Match Scores and Assessments
ProofScore, match scores, assessment results, ranking signals, analytics, recommendations, and platform-generated insights are only decision-support tools.
TalentProof does not guarantee that any score, profile, assessment result, or hiring signal accurately represents a candidate’s complete ability, honesty, conduct, future performance, culture fit, or suitability.
You must not rely solely on platform scores for final hiring decisions. You are responsible for conducting your own interviews, checks, verification, reference checks, and legal due diligence before hiring.
No Guarantee
TalentProof does not guarantee candidate availability, number of applications, interview attendance, offer acceptance, joining, retention, employee performance, campus placement outcomes, quality of hire, or business results.
All hiring decisions are made solely by the recruiter at the recruiter’s own discretion and risk.
Fees, Subscription and Access
TalentProof may offer free trials, POCs, founding partner access, monthly plans, annual plans, enterprise plans, or paid feature-based access.
Subscription fees, feature access, usage limits, renewal terms, taxes, refunds, and billing terms will be as shown on the platform or agreed in writing. TalentProof may restrict, suspend, or terminate access for non-payment, misuse, fraud, breach of terms, data misuse, or conduct harmful to candidates, institutions, recruiters, or TalentProof.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees paid are non-refundable.
Intellectual Property
TalentProof owns all rights in the platform, software, code, design, workflows, dashboards, algorithms, ProofScore methodology, match score logic, assessments, content, reports, analytics, trademarks, branding, and platform architecture.
You receive only a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the platform for internal recruitment purposes. No ownership rights are transferred to you.
You must not copy, reproduce, reverse engineer, replicate, commercially exploit, or create competing products using TalentProof’s platform, workflows, scoring systems, reports, datasets, or assessment models.
Confidentiality
You must keep confidential all non-public information accessed through TalentProof, including candidate data, recruiter dashboards, platform workflows, score outputs, pricing, assessment methods, institution information, and business information.
This obligation continues even after your access ends.
Platform Availability and Disclaimers
TalentProof is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. TalentProof does not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, fully accurate, secure at all times, compatible with every system, or suitable for every hiring requirement.
TalentProof is not responsible for third-party services, internet failures, user devices, recruiter-side systems, candidate conduct, inaccurate candidate submissions, recruiter decisions, offer disputes, employment disputes, or post-hiring outcomes.

To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, TalentProof, its founders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, affiliates, agents, and representatives shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, financial, operational, business, reputational, data-related, hiring-related, employment-related, or opportunity loss arising from or connected with use of the platform.
TalentProof shall not be liable for any hiring decision, rejection decision, candidate communication, offer dispute, joining failure, employee performance issue, candidate misrepresentation, background issue, campus hiring outcome, recruiter misuse, third-party claim, or data misuse by the recruiter.
TalentProof’s total aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount actually paid by the recruiter to TalentProof in the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or INR [●], whichever is lower.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Upon termination, your right to use the platform ends immediately. You must stop using TalentProof and delete all candidate data obtained through the platform unless retention is legally required.
