Terms of Service

Last updated 19 October 2026.

These terms are the agreement between you and Honde when you use the website, the browser extension or the AI chat connection. Please read them with our Privacy Policy. By creating an account, you agree to both.

1. Who we are and what Honde does

Honde is run by TODO: the operator's legal entity name, registration number and address.

Honde helps you look for work and tenders. It:

• finds job and tender listings from other websites and checks them for signs of scams or closed posts;
• scores how well each one matches your CV;
• prepares tailored CVs, cover letters, Z83 forms for government posts, and tender drafts; and
• on the Pro and Max plans, fills in online application forms for you.

You stay in control of what is sent. Honde never submits an application until you have reviewed it and told it to. Government applications (Z83) are always signed and sent by you.

We can't promise that you'll get an interview, a job or a tender. That depends on the employer or buyer.

2. Who can use it

• You must be 18 or older and live in South Africa.
• One account per person. Your account is for you only.
• Keep your password safe and tell us if you think someone else has used your account.

3. Your content, and checking it

• Your CV, your details and the documents you upload stay yours.
• You give us permission to store, copy and process them only to provide Honde to you: to find matches and prepare and fill in your applications. This ends when you delete your account, as set out in the Privacy Policy.
• You are responsible for making sure everything you submit is true and complete. That includes your Z83: its declarations are legal declarations to the state, and a false one can disqualify you or have legal consequences.
• Honde uses AI to write and fill in documents, and AI can make mistakes. Check every document and form before you send it.

4. Job and tender listings

• Listings come from other websites. We check them for scams and closed posts as well as we reasonably can, but we can't guarantee that every listing is genuine, accurate or still open.
• We are not the employer or the procuring entity, and we're not part of their hiring or buying decisions.
• Check who you're dealing with before you share documents or personal details. Never pay anyone to get a job: genuine employers don't ask for fees.

5. Plans and payment

• The Free plan costs nothing. Paid plans are Weekly, Lite, Pro and Max, priced in rand on our pricing page.
• Each payment is a one-off payment through Paystack for a pass of 7 days (Weekly) or 31 days (Lite, Pro, Max). Nothing renews or charges you automatically. When a pass ends you're back on the Free plan.
• Buying the same plan again before it ends adds the new period to the time you have left.
• Switching to a different plan starts the new plan straight away. Time left on the old plan isn't refunded or carried over.
• Each plan has usage limits, shown on the pricing and billing pages. Job search is unlimited on every plan.
• Invite a friend: when someone signs up with your invite link and pays by card for their first monthly plan (Lite, Pro or Max), you get R49 of Honde credit. Weekly plans don't qualify. Credit comes off your own payments for Honde plans; it isn't cash, can't be transferred or paid out, and we may withhold or remove credit earned through abuse, such as inviting your own accounts.
• Refunds: TODO: refund policy. For the lawyer: the 7-day cooling-off under ECTA section 44 (with the section 42 exclusions, e.g. services begun with the buyer's consent) and CPA section 16 (direct marketing); confirm what applies to a pass that has already been used.

6. Acceptable use

Don't use Honde to:

• scrape, copy or download our service or its data in bulk, or interfere with how it runs;
• send mass, spam or fake applications, or apply for roles on someone else's behalf without their consent;
• resell or share access to Honde; or
• get around plan limits, security checks or payments.

7. The browser extension and AI chat

The browser extension and the AI chat connection (MCP) act only when you ask them to, and they use your own browser and logged-in sessions. You are responsible for what you ask them to do on other websites, and for following those websites' own terms.

8. Availability and changes

• Honde is provided “as is”. We work to keep it running, but it may sometimes be unavailable or change.
• We may change plans, features or prices. We'll tell you beforehand, and any period you've already paid for is honoured on the terms you bought it on.

9. Our liability

As far as the law allows, including the Consumer Protection Act, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the claim, and we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as a missed job opportunity. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act that can't be excluded.

10. Ending your account

• You can delete your account at any time in Settings. This deletes your data as set out in the Privacy Policy.
• We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, for example for abuse or fraud.

11. Privacy

How we handle your personal information, including your rights under POPIA, is explained in our Privacy Policy.

12. Law, changes and contact

• These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of South Africa. Disputes go to TODO: courts.
• If we change these terms, we'll tell you by email or on the site before the changes apply.
• Questions: TODO: support email.
