Terms & Conditions | Higher Orbit

Version 1.0 · Effective 29 June 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern access to and use of Higher Orbit ("Platform", "we", "us", "our"), a digital platform connecting job seekers and employers. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. Nature of the Platform

The Platform acts solely as an intermediary under the Information Technology Act, 2000.

Post accurate, lawful, and non-discriminatory job listings;

Refrain from fraudulent, misleading, or exploitative recruitment practices.

Employers bear full responsibility for all hiring decisions and employment relationships.

Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to extract data;
Upload malware or engage in platform abuse.

6. Intellectual Property

All Platform content, software, branding, and design are owned by or licensed to us.

Fees for premium services (if any) are non-refundable unless required by law.
We reserve the right to revise pricing with prior notice.
Payment processing may be handled by third-party providers.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform shall not be liable for:

Employment outcomes, employer actions, or candidate decisions;
Data inaccuracies submitted by Users;
Losses arising from technical failures, delays, or service interruptions.

All services are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis.

Users agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Platform from claims arising from:

Breach of these Terms;
Violation of laws;
Misuse of the Platform or user-submitted content.

10. Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or terminate access without notice for violation of these Terms or applicable law.

11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India.

Courts at Mysuru, Karnataka shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

12. Your Consents

Before you use Higher Orbit as a job seeker we ask for each consent separately — sharing your CV with employers, assessment and recording, referrals, and the optional ones. The exact wording, the version you agreed to and the date are recorded, and you can review or withdraw any of them at any time from Settings → Privacy & Consents. Withdrawing a required consent means we can no longer put you in front of employers.

13. Assessments and AI

Video answers are recorded only after you agree on the recording page, and you may decline.
Recordings are shared with that employer only and destroyed 180 days after submission; the transcript and rating stay with the application.
An AI rating is a suggestion to help a recruiter read your answer — a human makes every hiring decision.
Where video is not possible, a recruiter may take your answers on a call and type them in, which the same consent covers.

14. Your Data Rights

You can download everything we hold about you, correct it, or ask us to delete your account — see the Privacy Policy for how each right works, how long we keep things, and the Grievance Officer to contact if we get it wrong.
