CANDIDATE ACCESS TERMS

Effective date: 2 September 2026 | Version: 2.1-draft | Website: https://yokeconnect.com

1. About these terms

This agreement is between YokeConnect Ltd (company number 17334598, registered office: The Pagoda, 30 Avenue Road, Bournemouth, BH2 5SL, United Kingdom) and the individual using a Candidate account. By creating or using an account, you agree to these terms, the Website Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.

2. Free Candidate access

YokeConnect does not charge Candidates to create a profile or GHS.cv, search for roles, submit applications, manage Candidate documents, or use Candidate messaging and network features that are made available to their account. No payment method is required for standard Candidate access, and standard Candidate access does not renew into a paid subscription.

3. Future paid optional services

YokeConnect may introduce optional paid Candidate services in the future. A Candidate will not be enrolled or charged automatically. Any paid service will require clear price information and the Candidate's separate express agreement before a charge is made. These terms will be updated before such a service is offered.

4. Account eligibility and security

You must be at least 16, provide accurate information, keep your sign-in details secure, and promptly tell YokeConnect if you suspect unauthorised access. Accounts are personal and may not be sold or transferred.

5. Candidate content

You remain responsible for profile, GHS.cv, application, message, and document content you provide. Content must be accurate to the best of your knowledge, lawful, relevant to hospitality work, and must not infringe another person's rights. Do not include unnecessary special-category data, identity documents, payment details, passwords, or other secrets in free-text fields.

6. Platform role

YokeConnect provides technology that helps Candidates and Employers connect. YokeConnect does not employ Candidates, make hiring decisions, negotiate employment terms for either party, or become a party to an employment contract, and it does not promise interviews, offers, employment, or any particular outcome. The legal classification and regulatory obligations applicable to YokeConnect's work-finding features are not changed by this description.

7. Availability and changes

YokeConnect may improve, replace, suspend, or withdraw features for security, legal, operational, or product reasons. Where reasonably possible, material changes that adversely affect Candidate access will be communicated in advance. Maintenance and events outside YokeConnect's reasonable control may affect availability.

8. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Platform and request account deletion, subject to legal retention requirements described in the Privacy Policy. YokeConnect may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, misuse, security threats, unlawful activity, or material breaches of these terms.

9. Privacy

Personal data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Candidate visibility and public GHS.cv controls determine which profile information may be shown to Employers or the public. Review those controls before publishing or sharing a CV.

10. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, YokeConnect is not responsible for Employer decisions, user-provided content, employment outcomes, or indirect or unforeseeable loss. Free access is provided without a guarantee that every feature will always be available.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, mandatory protections and courts available under the law of your home country are not affected.
