Content that violates our policies, such as offensive or illegal material, may be removed or edited at our discretion. Access to certain features may be limited based on your account type (e.g., Free, Pro Career, or Employer). For security and compliance purposes, we may monitor account activity and request additional documentation to verify user identity. These measures are in place to maintain a professional and secure environment for all users within the legal community.

Job postings on TR Thrive must adhere to strict guidelines to ensure transparency and fairness. All postings must represent legitimate legal positions within Nigeria or, where applicable, international jurisdictions, and comply with Nigerian labour laws, including anti-discrimination and fair employment regulations. Employers must provide comprehensive job descriptions, including clear qualification requirements, transparent salary information or ranges, and details on whether the position is remote, hybrid, or on-site. Application deadlines and processes must be clearly stated to avoid confusion. Postings containing discriminatory language or unrealistic requirements will be removed to maintain the Platform’s commitment to equality and professionalism.

5.2 Event Listings

Event listings are a key feature of TR Thrive, enabling users to promote and attend legal conferences, seminars, and CPD programmes. Organisers must provide accurate and detailed event information, including the date, time, location (physical, virtual, or hybrid), registration requirements, and any associated fees. Contact information for the organiser must be included for user inquiries, and any CPD points or certifications offered must be clearly specified. Cancellation and refund policies must be transparent to avoid disputes. These requirements ensure that users can make informed decisions about event participation and that organisers maintain professional standards.

5.3 User Profiles

User profiles are a critical component of TR Thrive, enabling job seekers and employers to showcase their qualifications and opportunities.

Professional profile pictures, where provided, should reflect the standards of the legal industry. Users must keep contact information up-to-date and respect client confidentiality when describing past experiences. For legal professionals, indicating active bar membership status is essential where applicable. Inaccurate or misleading profiles may be suspended to maintain the Platform’s credibility.

9. Limitation of Liability

9.1 Disclaimer of Warranties

TR Thrive provides the Platform and its Services on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. While we strive to ensure a reliable and secure experience, we do not guarantee that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. Users access the Platform at their own risk, acknowledging that technical issues or maintenance may occasionally affect availability. We are committed to addressing issues promptly but cannot warrant continuous or flawless operation.

9.2 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Nigerian law, TR Thrive shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, including but not limited to lost profits, business opportunities, or data loss. We are not responsible for unauthorised access to your account caused by your failure to secure your credentials or for the actions of other users or third parties. Our liability is limited to the amount paid for Services, if any, to ensure fairness while acknowledging the inherent risks of online platforms.

9.3 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold TR Thrive, its affiliates, officers, and employees harmless from any claims, losses, or damages arising from your use of the Platform, content you post, violation of these Terms, or breach of applicable laws. This includes legal fees and costs incurred in defending such claims. Our indemnification policy ensures that users take responsibility for their actions, protecting the Platform from liability caused by misuse or unlawful behaviour.

10. Dispute Resolution

10.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed exclusively by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the Platform will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of Nigerian courts, specifically those in Lagos, Nigeria, unless otherwise agreed. This ensures a consistent legal framework for resolving issues while respecting the Platform’s operations within Nigeria.

10.2 Dispute Process

TR Thrive is committed to resolving disputes fairly and efficiently. Should a dispute arise, parties must first attempt informal negotiation for a period of 30 days by contacting legal@trthrive.com. If unresolved, disputes will proceed to mediation in Lagos, Nigeria, conducted by a mutually agreed mediator. If mediation fails, binding arbitration under Nigerian law will be pursued, conducted by a single arbitrator in Lagos. This multi-step process aims to resolve disputes amicably while minimising the need for costly litigation.

10.3 Time Limitation

Any claim or cause of action against TR Thrive must be brought within one (1) year from the date the issue arises, in accordance with Nigerian law. This time limitation ensures that disputes are addressed promptly, reducing uncertainty for both users and the Platform. Claims brought after this period will be considered time-barred, except where prohibited by law.

11. Changes to Terms

11.1 Modification Process

TR Thrive may update these Terms at any time to reflect changes in our Services, legal requirements, or operational needs. Material changes will be communicated to users via email or Platform notification at least 30 days before they take effect. Non-material changes, such as minor clarifications, may take effect immediately. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage users to review the Terms periodically to stay informed of their rights and obligations.

11.2 User Rights

If you disagree with any changes to these Terms, you may terminate your account before the changes take effect by contacting legal@trthrive.com. Upon termination, you may request a data export of your account information, subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable laws.
