Terms & Conditions

By accessing or using PayScale — a crowdsourced salary-transparency platform for professionals across Africa — you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please don't use the service.

You must be at least 18 years old to use PayScale. By using the service you confirm that you meet this requirement and that any information you provide is accurate and truthful.

• Keep your login credentials secure and don't share them. You're responsible for activity that happens under your account.
• One account per person. Don't create multiple accounts to circumvent duplicate-submission controls.
• Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

When contributing to or using PayScale, you agree to:

• Submit only truthful, first-hand compensation data that you are entitled to share.
• Enter compensation as annual, gross (pre-tax) figures, as requested by the submission form.
• Submit only once per company-and-role combination.
• Not submit fake, speculative, or second-hand data.
• Not scrape, harvest, or bulk-extract data from the platform.
• Not spam, abuse, or attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer the service.

All data on PayScale is crowdsourced and self-reported. It is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, for informational purposes only. We make no warranty as to its accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose, and it should not be treated as financial, legal, or career advice. Any decisions you make based on it are your own responsibility.

The PayScale name, design, and software are owned by PayScale and its licensors. By submitting data, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, coarsen, aggregate, and display that data anonymously as part of the service. You may not copy or reuse the platform's branding or software without permission.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PayScale and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the data or the service.

We may suspend or terminate access to the service for anyone who violates these terms or misuses the platform. You may stop using the service at any time.

These terms are governed by the laws of the applicable jurisdiction [governing law placeholder]. Any disputes will be handled in accordance with that jurisdiction's courts.

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
