Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Paxizon Technologies Limited (“Paxizon”, “we”, “us” or “our”), the company that operates Salary Index. They govern your access to and use of the Salary Index website and related features (the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, or by submitting any data to it, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Salary Index is a compensation-transparency platform. It collects self-reported and publicly available salary information, cleans and anonymises it, and presents it as non-identifying salary listings and compensation benchmarks that anyone can browse, search and filter.

Browsing the Service is free of charge. We may add, change, suspend or remove features at any time, and we may limit access to parts of the Service, without liability to you.

You must be at least 16 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. By using it, you represent that you meet these requirements and that your use complies with all laws that apply to you.

You may choose to contribute salary information and related details (your “Submission”). When you make a Submission, you agree that:

• the information is, to the best of your knowledge, true, accurate and your own, and you have the right to share it;
• you will not include any third party’s confidential information, trade secrets, or anything you are contractually or legally prohibited from disclosing; and
• you will not submit false, misleading, defamatory or unlawful content.

Do not submit sensitive personal data. You must not include in a Submission any national identification numbers (such as NIN, BVN, or passport or driver’s licence numbers), bank account or payment card numbers, passwords, health information, or any other data subject to special protection under applicable law. We disclaim all liability arising from any such data you choose to submit.

You grant Paxizon a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free licence to store, clean, anonymise, aggregate, adapt and publish your Submission to operate and improve the Service and produce salary listings and compensation benchmarks. Paxizon owns the resulting anonymised, standardised and aggregated dataset. You may ask us to correct or remove a Submission, although information already anonymised and combined into aggregate data may no longer be separable.

Feedback. We may use feedback, ideas or suggestions you send us to improve the Service without payment to you.

We may, but are not obligated to, review, edit, reclassify or remove any Submission, for example to correct an obvious error, to standardise a role, or to protect a person’s anonymity.

You agree that you will not, and will not allow anyone else to:

• scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk-download or use bots or other automated means to access or extract data from the Service, or use the data to train any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model (we grant operators of public search engines revocable permission to crawl the Service solely to create publicly available search indices);
• copy, resell, sublicense, redistribute or otherwise commercially exploit the data or any substantial part of it without our prior written consent;
• access or use the Service or its data to build or assist a similar or competing product, dataset or service;
• attempt to re-identify any individual or to determine the specific employer behind an anonymised listing, or combine the data with other information to do so;
• bypass access controls, rate limits or other safeguards;
• use the Service or its data to harass, profile, discriminate against or harm any person;
• reverse engineer, interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or its systems; or
• use the Service in any way that violates any law or these Terms.

You may book a sponsored placement for 1 to 30 calendar days, up to 90 days in advance, at the price shown before checkout. The start and end dates are both included. Payments are processed by Bachs, and a booking is confirmed once payment is received in full.

You confirm that your details are accurate, you are authorised to act for the advertiser, and you own or may use the submitted name, logo, copy and destination. Ads must not be illegal, adult, gambling, political, deceptive, discriminatory or fraudulent; contain malware; promote lending or recruitment agencies; or promote a crypto or blockchain scam. Legitimate payment and financial-technology products may be accepted.

We may remove an ad we reasonably consider unsuitable for Salary Index or its audience. If we remove a paid ad for that reason, we will arrange a full refund of the campaign charge. Changes requested after booking do not extend the original end date unless we agree to change the dates. For changes or support, contact us at paxizon@gmail.com.

We may review, edit or remove content, investigate suspected violations and restrict access to protect the Service and its users. We may disclose information where required by law or necessary to enforce these Terms or protect legal rights and safety.

Salary Index is a crowdsourced and curated reference. Individual listings, medians, salary benchmarks, percentile ranges and other benchmarks are provided for general informational purposes only and “as is”. We do not independently verify most Submissions and do not warrant that any figure or detail is accurate, complete, current or representative of any role, company or market.

Nothing on the Service is financial, legal, career or employment advice. You should not rely on it as the sole basis for any decision, including any salary negotiation or employment decision. Any reliance you place on the data is at your own risk.

The Service (including the compiled dataset, salary benchmarks, aggregate benchmarks, software, design, layout, text, graphics, the “Salary Index” name and logo, and all related intellectual property) is owned by or licensed to Paxizon and is protected by applicable laws. The selection, arrangement, transformation and presentation of the data is our property, even though individual data points may be contributed by users or sourced from public materials.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. No other rights are granted.

The Service may link to third-party websites or rely on third-party providers (for example for hosting or analytics). We are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of any third party, and a link does not imply our endorsement. Your use of any third-party site or service is governed by that third party’s terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and all data are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Paxizon and its directors, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service or its data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you will not exceed one hundred United States dollars (USD $100) or its equivalent.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Paxizon and its directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your Submissions, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including the content licence, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law) will continue to apply.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where the change is significant, provide a more prominent notice. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree that the courts of Lagos State, Nigeria will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Paxizon regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreement on the subject.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will stay in full force.
• Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Electronic communications. You consent to receive notices and communications from us electronically, and agree they satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
