Closed Beta
Terms of Service
These terms govern use of Silicentra during closed beta. They are written in plain English and are provisional pending legal review.
Provisional closed-beta wording. Final text, including liability and disclaimer language, requires legal review before public launch.
1. Acceptance of terms
By creating an account or using Silicentra you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you are using Silicentra on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to do so.
2. Closed beta
Silicentra is in closed beta. Features may change or be withdrawn, the service may occasionally be unavailable, beta functionality may contain defects, and we may ask you for feedback. Being in beta does not release us from the commitments we make in these terms.
3. Account responsibilities
- Keep your sign-in credentials confidential and do not share your account
- Use an email address you control
- Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed by someone else
- You are responsible for activity carried out through your account
4. Accurate information
Information you publish — professional experience, skills, employment history, education, company details and job postings — must be accurate and must be yours to publish. Do not overstate experience, and do not publish confidential material belonging to an employer or client.
5. Acceptable use
You must not:
- post fraudulent, misleading or non-existent job postings
- impersonate another person, engineer, recruiter or company
- send spam, bulk unsolicited outreach or repeated unwanted messages
- harass, threaten, demean or discriminate against anyone
- scrape, crawl or otherwise harvest profiles or platform data by automated means
- attempt to bypass access controls, authorisation rules or rate limits
- attempt to de-anonymise, correlate or misuse anonymous engineer information
- share private candidate information outside the people who need it to run your process
- upload malicious content, malware or deliberately harmful files
- misuse company or recruiter access, including using it for purposes unrelated to hiring
- use Silicentra to solicit fees from candidates
6. Engineer responsibilities
- Keep your profile and availability information current
- Only apply to roles you are genuinely interested in
- Respond to interview scheduling honestly, and say so if you withdraw
- Choose the profile visibility you are comfortable with before publishing
7. Recruiter and company responsibilities
- Represent your company accurately and only act for companies you are authorised to represent
- Post only real, open roles with accurate requirements
- Keep candidate information confidential and use it only to evaluate the role it relates to
- Keep outreach relevant and proportionate; do not contact candidates repeatedly after a clear decline
- Manage your company team membership and remove members who no longer need access
8. Job postings and candidate outreach
Job postings must describe an actual opportunity and must not be used to collect candidate data. Invitations and messages must relate to the role they are attached to. Silicentra may remove postings, pause outreach or restrict accounts where these rules are not followed.
9. Messaging conduct
Recruitment conversations are tied to a specific role and become available once an application or accepted invitation exists. Messages are recorded and cannot be edited or deleted after sending. Keep messages professional and relevant; do not use them to circumvent platform rules.
10. Company verification
A verified badge means Silicentra has completed its current verification process for that company. It is not a guarantee of company quality, solvency, employment outcome or legitimacy beyond the checks actually performed, and verification may be suspended or revoked. See what company verification means.
11. No guarantees
Silicentra does not guarantee:
- employment, job offers or hiring outcomes
- candidate quality or suitability
- job availability or that a posted role will be filled
- the legitimacy, conduct or solvency of any company or individual
- interview outcomes or recruiter responsiveness
Hiring decisions, employment terms and engagement arrangements are between the parties involved. Silicentra is not an employer, employment agency of record or party to those arrangements.
12. Intellectual property and your content
Silicentra and its branding remain ours. You keep ownership of the content you publish and grant us the permission needed to host, display and share it within the platform in line with your visibility settings and these terms. Do not upload content you do not have the right to share.
13. Platform availability
We aim to keep Silicentra available and reliable, but access may be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades or issues outside our control. No uptime commitment applies during closed beta.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using Silicentra at any time and can request account deletion from Privacy & data requests. We may suspend or terminate access where these terms are breached, where misuse is suspected, or where required for security or legal reasons. We will try to act proportionately and, where practical, explain the reason.
15. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
Silicentra is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis during closed beta, without warranties beyond those that cannot be excluded by law. To the extent permitted by law, our liability arising from use of the closed-beta service is limited.
Placeholder wording. The final disclaimer and limitation-of-liability clauses, and the governing-law and dispute-resolution clauses, must be drafted and reviewed by a lawyer before public launch.
16. Fees
No payment, subscription or billing features are active during closed beta. If paid features are introduced, the terms that apply to them will be published before they take effect.
17. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the product develops. The current version is always shown on this page, and continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms.
