JobStar.in Terms & Conditions
Welcome to JobStar.in. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the JobStar.in website, mobile app, and related services (together, the "Platform"), whether you're a job seeker, an employer, or a visitor. By creating an account, browsing job listings, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the Platform.
1. Eligibility
To use JobStar.in, you must be at least 18 years old and legally eligible to work in India, or be an authorized representative of a company registering to hire on its behalf. By creating an account, you confirm that all information you provide is accurate, current, and belongs to you or the organisation you represent.
2. Your Account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that happens under your account, including OTP-based logins. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, you must notify us immediately. JobStar.in reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account that provides false information, violates these Terms, or is used in a way that harms other users or the Platform.
3. For Job Seekers
Creating a profile, searching for jobs, and applying to jobs on JobStar.in is completely free. You agree to provide accurate information in your profile and resume, and to use the Platform only to seek genuine employment opportunities. No employer, recruiter, or third party is authorized to demand payment, a "registration fee", or any deposit from you in exchange for a job offer — such requests should be reported to us immediately, as JobStar.in never charges job seekers for access to jobs.
4. For Employers
Employers agree to post only genuine, currently open positions, and to complete our company verification process before their listings go live. Job descriptions must accurately reflect the role, compensation, and requirements — misleading, discriminatory, or fraudulent listings are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate removal of the listing and suspension of the account. Employers are solely responsible for their hiring decisions and for complying with applicable labour laws.
5. Employer Wallet & Payment Terms
Job posting and browsing candidate applications on JobStar.in is free for employers. Employers hire using a prepaid wallet, and this section sets out the rules that apply to it. These terms should be read together with, and take precedence over, any conflicting description on the Pricing page in the event of a dispute.
5.1 Top-up amount. The minimum amount an employer may add to their wallet in a single transaction is ₹500 (usable balance), plus 18% GST charged on top at the time of payment — making the minimum amount payable approximately ₹590. There is no maximum limit on how much an employer may add to their wallet.
5.2 GST. Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applicable on all wallet top-ups at the rate prescribed under Indian law (currently 18%), in addition to the usable amount being added. GST collected is remitted as tax and does not form part of the employer's usable wallet balance — only the net amount, after GST is accounted for, is credited to the wallet and made available for shortlisting resumes. A tax invoice for each top-up will be made available to the employer where required by law.
5.3 Shortlisting fee. A fee of ₹50 is deducted from the employer's usable wallet balance each time the employer shortlists a candidate's resume on the Platform. This fee is charged per resume shortlisted, regardless of which job listing it relates to, and is not charged for posting jobs, viewing applications, or receiving applications. No further GST is levied at the point of shortlisting; GST is accounted for only at the top-up stage as described in Section 5.2.
5.4 Non-refundable. All amounts added to an employer's wallet are non-refundable, whether in whole or in part, except where required by applicable law. Wallet balance cannot be withdrawn, transferred to another account, or exchanged for cash, and can only be used to shortlist candidate resumes on JobStar.in.
5.5 Validity. Employer wallet balance has lifetime validity and does not expire, irrespective of how long it remains unused, for as long as the employer's account remains active and in good standing under these Terms.
5.6 Account suspension or termination. If an employer's account is suspended or terminated for violating these Terms — including for fraudulent activity, fake listings, or misuse of the Platform — any remaining wallet balance may be forfeited, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to JobStar.in.
5.7 Changes to pricing. JobStar.in may revise the minimum top-up amount, the per-shortlist fee, applicable taxes, or any other aspect of this pricing model from time to time, with reasonable notice on the Platform. Any change will apply prospectively and will not alter the usable balance already credited to an employer's wallet at the time of the change.
6. Content Ownership & License
You retain ownership of the content you upload to JobStar.in, including your resume, profile details, and company information. By uploading content, you grant JobStar.in a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and share that content with relevant job seekers or employers as part of the normal functioning of the Platform. You confirm that you have the right to share any content you upload and that it does not infringe on anyone else's rights.
7. Prohibited Use
You agree not to misuse the Platform in any way, including but not limited to: posting fake or duplicate job listings, creating fraudulent or impersonated profiles, scraping or harvesting data from the Platform without permission, uploading viruses or malicious code, sending spam or unsolicited messages to other users, or attempting to bypass our security or verification systems. Violation of this section may result in immediate account termination and, where applicable, legal action.
8. Third-Party Links & Advertisements
The Platform may display advertisements or links to third-party websites, including via services like Google AdSense. JobStar.in does not control and is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of information on third-party sites. Your interactions with any advertiser or third party found on or through the Platform are solely between you and that party.
9. Limitation of Liability
JobStar.in acts as a platform connecting job seekers and employers, and while we verify companies before their listings go live, we do not guarantee the accuracy of any job listing, the conduct of any employer or candidate, or any employment outcome. To the fullest extent permitted by law, JobStar.in shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, including any hiring decision, job offer, wallet top-up, or interaction between users.
10. Termination
You may stop using the Platform and delete your account at any time. JobStar.in may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or created risk or legal exposure for JobStar.in or other users. Sections relating to content license, wallet terms, liability, and governing law will survive any termination.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, pricing, or legal requirements. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in India.
13. Contact Us
If you have any questions about these Terms & Conditions — including the employer wallet, GST, or shortlisting fees — you can reach our support team through the Contact Us page or write to us at the email address listed in the app/website footer, and we'll be happy to help.
