DISCLAIMER

Last Updated: 2 June 2026

The information provided on Thola Umsebenzi (“the Platform,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), located at https://tholaumsebenzi.doprint.co.za/, is for general informational and career-networking purposes only.

By using this Platform—whether as a job-seeking candidate promoting your skills or as an employer scouting for talent—you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Disclaimer.

1. No Employment Services or Agency Relationship

Thola Umsebenzi is an independent, self-service online talent directory and promotion platform.

  • We are not a recruitment agency, labor broker, or employment placement service.
  • We do not employ candidates, we do not screen users on behalf of specific companies, and we do not actively place individuals into jobs.
  • Our sole function is to provide a digital stage for candidates to broadcast their CVs and skills, and for employers to independently scout potential talent. Any hiring decisions, interviews, or employment contracts are strictly between the respective Candidate and Employer.

2. Accuracy of User-Generated Content

While we encourage honesty and professionalism across our marketplace, much of the content on Thola Umsebenzi—including candidate CVs, profiles, certifications, skills, licenses, and company descriptions—is uploaded directly by our users.

  • No Verification Warranty: We do not independently verify, audit, background-check, or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, completeness, or safety of user profiles, uploaded PDFs, or company descriptions.
  • User Responsibility: Employers are entirely responsible for conducting their own background checks, reference verifications, and qualification audits before hiring. Candidates are entirely responsible for verifying the legitimacy and safety of any business or individual who contacts them through the platform.

3. No Guarantee of Results or Employment

Using Thola Umsebenzi to promote your digital CV or broadcast your skills does not guarantee job offers, interviews, or responses from recruiters. Similarly, using the platform to scout does not guarantee an employer will find a matching candidate. The platform is provided as a networking tool, and success depends entirely on market demand and individual interactions.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, Thola Umsebenzi, its owners, and its operators shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the platform. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Any employment disputes, unfair labor practices, or contractual breaches between candidates and employers.
  • Any misleading info, fraudulent listings, or identity misrepresentation by users.
  • Personal injury, financial loss, or safety issues resulting from meetings, interviews, or arrangements made between users found via the website.
  • Technical interruptions, server downtime, or data loss affecting your live profile or uploaded files.

5. “Use at Your Own Risk” and External Links

Our platform may contain interactive links, embedded documents (such as interactive PDFs), or links to third-party websites. Thola Umsebenzi does not endorse, warrant, or assume responsibility for the safety, content, or privacy policies of these external tools or third-party sites. Interacting with other users or external links is done strictly at your own risk.

6. Contact Us
