The terms that govern access to NodeVera CareerLab

These Terms of Use form an agreement between you and NodeVera Cyber IT & Services regarding your access to NodeVera CareerLab. “CareerLab”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the CareerLab service and the NodeVera team that operates it.

By visiting protected areas, registering an account, activating a trial, purchasing access or accepting an organisation invitation, you confirm that you have read and agreed to these terms and the Privacy Policy.

If you use CareerLab on behalf of a school, bootcamp, employer or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these terms for that organisation where applicable. A separate organisation agreement takes priority if it expressly conflicts with these public terms.

You must have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. If you are under 18, or under the age of legal capacity in your location, you may use CareerLab only with appropriate permission and supervision from a parent, guardian, school or participating organisation.

CareerLab is not intended for children under 13 to create independent accounts. We may request reasonable information to confirm eligibility, age, programme membership or authority to act for an organisation.

You must provide accurate information, keep your details current and maintain only the number of accounts permitted for your plan or organisation. Accounts are personal unless an organisation administrator account is expressly provided.

You are responsible for protecting your password, verification messages and active sessions. You must not share credentials, allow another person to complete work in your name or use another learner’s account.

Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access. We may require email verification, identity confirmation, password reset or session revocation before restoring access.

CareerLab provides fictional companies, simulated employees, workplace applications, tasks, scenarios, feedback and performance records for education and assessment. Names, events and records inside the Virtual Workplace are simulated unless clearly stated otherwise.

Participation does not make you an employee, contractor, intern or representative of NodeVera or any fictional company. CareerLab does not guarantee employment, an interview, professional accreditation, examination success, salary level or acceptance by a particular employer.

Certificates and performance reports describe completed CareerLab activities. They do not represent a government licence, university award or professional certification unless a specific partnership states otherwise.

Eligible learners may receive one free trial that begins when the learner expressly activates it. The available duration, features and task limits are shown before activation.

Trial access is intended to evaluate CareerLab. You may not create duplicate accounts, use false identities, automate registration, share trial access or attempt to reset trial eligibility. We may refuse, suspend or end a trial where abuse, duplicate use, automation or security concerns are detected.

Trial data may remain in your account after expiry so that progress can continue if you purchase access. Trial availability may change or end at any time, subject to applicable law.

Prices, included features, access periods, taxes and renewal terms are displayed before purchase. By submitting payment, you authorise the selected payment method to be charged for the amount shown.

If a plan renews automatically, the renewal frequency and cancellation method will be disclosed before purchase. You may cancel future renewal through the available account controls or by contacting support. Cancellation normally prevents the next charge and does not remove access already paid for.

Refunds, credits and plan changes are handled according to the checkout information, any applicable refund policy, the circumstances of the request and mandatory consumer law. Contact us promptly if you believe a charge is incorrect or paid access was not provided as described.

We may change future prices or plan features. A change does not alter a completed purchase unless you agree or the change is required by law. Renewal price changes will be communicated before the next charge where required.

Subject to these terms and the limits of your plan, NodeVera grants you a personal, limited, revocable, nonexclusive and nontransferable permission to access CareerLab for learning, assessment or authorised organisation use.

This permission does not transfer ownership of CareerLab content, software, scenarios, designs, trademarks, scoring methods, fictional company records or other intellectual property. Access ends when your plan expires, your organisation removes access or your account is terminated.

You must not:

• Attempt to bypass authentication, permissions, trial limits, scoring rules or technical safeguards.
• Probe, scan, exploit or attack CareerLab systems without written authorisation under an approved security testing process.
• Upload malware, harmful code, unlawful material or content that infringes another person’s rights.
• Interfere with another learner, impersonate another person or submit work completed by someone else.
• Copy, scrape, publish, resell or distribute protected scenarios, answer keys, source code, assessment methods or substantial platform content.
• Use CareerLab to process real passwords, live customer records, confidential employer information or production system data.
• Use the service for harassment, fraud, discrimination, unlawful surveillance or any illegal activity.

Responsible security concerns should be reported through our Trust and Security page rather than tested against the live service without permission.

You retain ownership of original content you submit, such as written responses, reports and portfolio materials. You grant NodeVera a limited permission to host, process, evaluate, display and reproduce that content as needed to provide CareerLab, support your account, generate assessments, prevent abuse and improve the service.

You confirm that you have the right to submit the content and that it does not contain unlawful material, confidential information belonging to another person or personal data you are not authorised to share.

Suggestions and product feedback may be used to improve CareerLab without payment or obligation, but we will not publicly identify you as the source without permission.

CareerLab may use rules, automated checks and artificial intelligence assisted tools to evaluate task completion, communication, documentation and decision making. Automated output may be incomplete or incorrect and should be treated as learning feedback rather than professional advice.

We may adjust scores, scenario outcomes or feedback where a system error, content issue, misconduct or review finding justifies correction. Learners may contact support or their organisation administrator to request review of a disputed result.

You must not rely on CareerLab instructions as approval to make changes to a real employer network, customer account, production system or live security environment.

An organisation may invite learners, assign tracks, review progress, manage seats and receive reports according to its plan and agreement. Learners who join through an organisation understand that authorised administrators may view relevant participation, progress, submission and assessment information.

Organisation administrators must use learner information only for authorised education, programme management, recruitment or assessment purposes and must comply with applicable privacy, employment, education and discrimination laws.

An organisation may remove a learner from its workspace or end sponsored access. The learner may retain an independent account only where CareerLab allows it and where data rights, programme rules and the organisation agreement permit.

CareerLab may rely on or link to services provided by other companies, including hosting, authentication, payment, email, video, analytics and technical lab providers. Their services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies.

We select service providers with reasonable care, but we do not control every third party website or service. A link does not mean that NodeVera endorses all content, products or practices on that service.

CareerLab, NodeVera names and logos, software, interfaces, scenario designs, fictional company materials, assessment methods, documentation, graphics and original content are owned by NodeVera or used under licence. They are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may use your own completion record and permitted portfolio outputs for personal job applications. You may not imply employment by NodeVera, alter a certificate, remove verification information or use NodeVera branding to suggest an endorsement that has not been given.

We aim to provide a reliable service, but CareerLab may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, updates, supplier outages, security events, internet conditions or circumstances outside our control.

We may add, change or remove features, scenarios, tracks and technical requirements. Where a material change affects paid access, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice or a suitable remedy consistent with the purchase terms and applicable law.

Users are responsible for maintaining a supported device, browser and internet connection. Some technical labs may require additional system resources or third party access that will be disclosed before use.

We may restrict, suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect users, investigate misuse, enforce these terms, respond to legal requirements, address nonpayment or prevent harm to CareerLab or another person.

Where appropriate, we will explain the reason and provide an opportunity to respond. Immediate action may be taken for serious security risks, fraud, unlawful conduct, repeated abuse or conduct that threatens another user or the service.

You may stop using CareerLab at any time. Account deletion and data retention are handled according to the Privacy Policy, active purchases, organisation agreements and applicable law.

CareerLab is provided for education, practice and assessment. It is not legal, financial, medical, employment or professional consulting advice. Scenarios simplify some workplace conditions and may not reflect every employer, technology, policy or jurisdiction.

To the extent permitted by law, CareerLab is provided on an “as available” basis. We do not promise that every feature will be uninterrupted, error free or suitable for a particular employer requirement.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer rights.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, NodeVera is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from use of CareerLab, including loss of opportunity, expected employment, business information or profits.

Where liability cannot be excluded, NodeVera’s total liability relating to a paid individual plan will not exceed the amount paid by the user for the affected service during the six months before the event giving rise to the claim. Different limits may apply under a written organisation agreement.

These limits do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud, deliberate misconduct or another category protected by mandatory law.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without removing any mandatory protection available to a consumer under the law of their location.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact careerlab@nodeveracyber.com and provide reasonable details of the concern. We will attempt to resolve the matter in good faith.

If the matter cannot be resolved informally, it may be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria, unless applicable law requires another forum or an organisation agreement provides a different lawful process.

If one provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. A delay in enforcing a right does not waive that right. You may not transfer your account or these terms without our written permission. We may transfer our rights and obligations as part of a lawful business restructuring or service transfer.

We may update these terms when CareerLab, pricing, legal requirements or service practices change. The revised terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date. We may provide additional notice where a change is material.
