Terms of Use
These terms govern your access to and use of the HR Paddy platform. By using our services, you agree to comply with these terms. Please read them carefully before creating an account or submitting any data.
Last updated: April 2026
1. Acceptance of terms
By creating an account, accessing, or using HR Paddy (the 'Platform'), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must discontinue use of the Platform immediately.
2. Account registration and security
You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach. HR Paddy reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or engage in suspicious activity.
3. Acceptable use
HR teams and recruiters must use HR Paddy exclusively for legitimate hiring activities. You agree not to: post fraudulent, misleading, or discriminatory job listings; use the Platform to harvest applicant data for purposes unrelated to recruitment; attempt to circumvent platform security measures or access controls; use automated tools to scrape or extract data from the Platform; impersonate another person or organization; or upload malicious content including viruses, malware, or harmful code.
4. Subscription plans and billing
HR Paddy offers a Free Forever plan and paid plans. The Free Forever plan is permanent and includes up to 2 AI interviews per rolling 7 days, up to 2 job postings per calendar month, a maximum of 20 applicants per job (the job auto-closes once reached), full AI applicant scoring, up to 10 combined manual/physical interview invites per month, and a limited analytics dashboard — at no cost and with no trial countdown. The Pro plan provides up to 20 AI interviews per day, unlimited job postings, unlimited applicants per job, advanced analytics, extended recruitment deadlines, and priority support at ₦25,000 per month. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the billing cycle ends. Refunds are not provided for partial months. Free plan usage limits reset automatically at the start of each calendar month (or on a rolling 7-day window for AI interviews).
5. Job postings and content
Recruiters are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of all job posting content. Job listings must comply with applicable employment laws and anti-discrimination regulations. HR Paddy reserves the right to remove job postings that violate these terms, contain misleading information, or are reported as fraudulent. All job content must be original or properly licensed for use on the Platform.
6. AI-powered features and limitations
HR Paddy uses artificial intelligence for CV screening, application scoring, interview question generation, and candidate evaluation. AI scoring and interview summaries are designed to support and augment human decision-making, not replace final hiring judgment. AI outputs may contain inaccuracies and should be reviewed by qualified recruiters before making hiring decisions. HR Paddy does not guarantee the accuracy of AI-generated evaluations and is not liable for hiring decisions made based on AI recommendations.
7. Applicant rights and responsibilities
Applicants must provide truthful and accurate information in their applications. Submitting falsified credentials, plagiarized content, or misleading information may result in application disqualification and potential platform ban. Applicants retain ownership of their CV and personal data but grant HR Paddy a limited license to process this data for recruitment evaluation purposes. Applicants may request deletion of their data at any time by contacting hello@hrpaddy.com.
8. Interview conduct
AI interviews must be completed by the invited candidate personally. Using third parties, AI assistants, or pre-recorded responses during interviews is strictly prohibited and may result in disqualification. Interview links expire 72 hours after issuance. Candidates must have a working camera, microphone, and stable internet connection. HR Paddy is not responsible for technical issues on the candidate's end that prevent interview completion.
9. Intellectual property
All Platform content, features, functionality, design elements, and branding are owned by HR Paddy and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on Platform content without prior written permission. Feedback and suggestions submitted to HR Paddy may be used to improve the Platform without obligation or compensation.
10. Limitation of liability
HR Paddy provides the Platform 'as is' without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by you in the twelve months preceding the claim. This limitation applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
11. Termination
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. HR Paddy may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you violate these terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Data retention after termination follows our Privacy Policy. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation first, followed by mediation, and if necessary, binding arbitration in Lagos, Nigeria. You agree to waive any right to participate in class action proceedings against HR Paddy.
13. Contact and support
