These Terms of Use govern your use of the LexLaunch Careers website and, where applicable, our advisory services. Separate service descriptions, quotations, invoices, written confirmations or signed agreements may apply to a paid engagement.
LexLaunch Careers is a South African legal recruitment advisory business. We support law students, graduates and adjacent legal-career candidates with application strategy, document positioning, assessment readiness, interview simulation, firm-fit analysis, deadline intelligence and related advisory services. We also support practising legal professionals with executive positioning advisory and a confidential candidate Registry, as described in sections 7 and 8 below.
LexLaunch Careers is not a law firm, recruitment agency, labour broker, employer of record, university or hiring organisation. We do not act for employers and we do not make employment, assessment, admission or recruitment decisions.
By accessing the website, submitting information, booking a call, requesting a service, accessing an assessment or engaging with LexLaunch Careers, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you should not use the website or services.
A paid engagement is confirmed only when LexLaunch Careers accepts the engagement in writing, issues a quotation or invoice, receives required payment, or enters into a signed agreement with you. If a written service agreement conflicts with these Terms of Use, the written service agreement will apply to that engagement to the extent of the conflict.
Website content, insights, deadline information, examples, resources and assessment materials are provided for general information and recruitment-preparation purposes. They are not legal, financial, tax, immigration, academic, psychological, employment or placement advice.
We aim to keep public information useful and current, but you remain responsible for verifying application deadlines, eligibility criteria, employer requirements, university rules, platform requirements and any other information before acting on it.
Our services are advisory and preparatory. The specific scope, format, fee, timing and deliverables for a paid service will be set out in the relevant service description, quotation, invoice, email confirmation or agreement.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, a service does not include unlimited revisions, urgent turnaround, additional firms, additional interview simulations, employer submissions on your behalf, legal representation, direct negotiations with employers, recruitment placement or work outside the agreed scope.
LexLaunch Careers does not guarantee any interview invitation, vacation work placement, articles offer, graduate role, assessment score, platform result, employer response, admission outcome or career outcome. Employer and platform decisions remain outside our control.
The value of our services is the provision of structured guidance, preparation, positioning and feedback. Your results may depend on many factors, including your academic record, experience, timing, market conditions, employer criteria, application quality, effort and implementation.
You agree to:
LexLaunch Careers may rely on the information you provide. We are not responsible for errors, delays, missed deadlines or poor outcomes caused by incomplete, inaccurate, late or misleading information supplied by you.
LexLaunch operates a free, opt-in Registry for practising legal professionals who wish to be discoverable to approved recruiters and employers without being publicly listed. By joining the Registry, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are entitled to share it, and you give LexLaunch standing consent for your profile to be visible to recruiters and employers who hold an approved, paid Registry access pass, excluding any you have specifically asked us not to approach. You may withdraw this consent at any time, as described in our Privacy Policy.
LexLaunch does not guarantee that any introduction will result in an interview, offer or hire, and is not responsible for the conduct, decisions, employment practices or outcomes of any recruiter or employer you are introduced to.
LexLaunch Careers is not a recruitment agency, labour broker or employer of record, and does not place candidates in employment. Access to the Registry is sold as a time-boxed access pass (for example, a one-week or one-month period). The fee is for access to the platform during that period, not for any introduction, interview, offer, employment contract or hire that may follow. Access is subject to our approval and may be declined or revoked at our discretion, including where we are not satisfied that an applicant is a genuine recruiter or employer.
If you access the Registry as a recruiter or employer, you agree to use any candidate information you view only to consider that candidate for a genuine, specific opportunity, to keep it confidential, and not to share, sell, publish or otherwise use it for any other purpose. You agree not to scrape, bulk-export, systematically copy, or build your own database from Registry profiles, and not to continue using or storing candidate information after your access period ends other than for a specific, genuine opportunity already in progress.
LexLaunch is not a party to, and does not guarantee, any interview, offer, employment contract or hire that may follow from your use of the Registry, and you remain solely responsible for your own recruitment, employment and labour-law obligations towards any candidate you engage.
Fees must be agreed before work starts. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due before service delivery begins. We may decline to begin, pause or withhold further work where payment has not been received.
If we agree to an instalment plan, each instalment must be paid on the agreed date. Any instalment arrangement is a staged payment arrangement for advisory services and is not a loan or credit facility. Unless expressly agreed in writing, no interest, finance charge, initiation fee or monthly account fee is charged merely because a fee is paid in instalments.
Payment methods, tax treatment, invoice details and any service-specific payment conditions will be confirmed in the applicable service communication, invoice or agreement.
Cancellation and refund terms may be set out in a service-specific agreement. Where no service-specific terms apply, LexLaunch Careers may retain amounts that reasonably relate to work already performed, preparation already completed, documents already reviewed, sessions already delivered, delivery time reserved, resources made available, package discounts granted and costs already incurred.
Advisory services are time-based and often involve preparation before a session or deliverable is completed. For that reason, payment does not become automatically refundable simply because a candidate later decides not to continue, no longer requires the service or does not attend.
Sessions may be treated as used if you miss them or request a change with less than 24 hours' notice, unless LexLaunch Careers agrees otherwise or exceptional circumstances apply. Late changes to target firms, documents, deadlines, instructions or priorities may delay delivery, count as a revision, or require a separate fee.
Nothing in these Terms of Use limits any mandatory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Where a package, programme or bundle is sold for a defined period, the service must be used within the timeframe stated in the relevant service description or agreement. If no timeframe is stated, LexLaunch Careers may set a reasonable completion period having regard to the nature of the service and the availability of both parties.
Unused sessions, reviews or deliverables may expire if the candidate fails to schedule, attend, provide materials or respond within the agreed or reasonable timeframe.
Assessment tools, work simulations, PIN-protected pages, sample questions, scoring bands, feedback reports and related resources are for preparation and advisory support only. They are not psychometric diagnoses, professional certifications, employment decisions or guarantees of performance.
You may not copy, record, publish, share, distribute, resell, scrape, reverse engineer or reproduce assessment content, protected resources, candidate-access details, scoring logic, templates or feedback materials without our prior written permission.
References to third-party assessment providers, assessment styles, law firms, employers, graduate programmes or recruitment platforms are provided only for general recruitment-preparation context. LexLaunch Careers is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, authorised by or acting on behalf of Watson Glaser, Pearson TalentLens, SHL or any employer named on the website.
LexLaunch Careers does not reproduce official provider questions, proprietary assessment content, confidential employer materials or official scoring methods. Our assessment materials are original preparation resources intended to build transferable readiness for employer-style recruitment formats.
LexLaunch Careers owns or licenses the website content, brand assets, frameworks, templates, methods, assessment content, simulations, written materials, training structures, service processes and other intellectual property made available through the website or services.
You may use final personalised deliverables prepared for you, such as your own final CV wording, cover-letter wording, profile wording or candidate-specific memo, for your personal application and career purposes. You may not share, sell, publish, adapt or reuse our underlying templates, frameworks, methods, assessment content or training materials for another person, organisation or business.
We may ask for feedback or a testimonial. Any testimonial must reflect your genuine experience. We will not publish your name, photograph, identifiable story, results, documents or testimonial wording without appropriate consent.
The website may link to third-party websites, platforms, tools or resources. Those third parties operate independently and may have their own terms, privacy notices and practices. LexLaunch Careers is not responsible for third-party websites, platform availability, external content, employer decisions or third-party services.
You must not:
To the extent permitted by South African law, LexLaunch Careers will not be liable for indirect, special or consequential loss, loss of income, loss of opportunity, loss of data, reputational harm, missed deadlines caused by your delay, decisions made by third parties, or outcomes from law firms, recruiters, universities, employers or platforms.
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for a paid service is limited to the amount actually paid to LexLaunch Careers for that specific service. Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
You agree to indemnify LexLaunch Careers against claims, losses, damages, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms of Use, unlawful use of the website or services, inaccurate or misleading information supplied by you, infringement of third-party rights, misuse of our intellectual property, or use of our materials outside the agreed scope.
Our processing of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. The latest version published on this page applies from the date stated above, unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Before starting formal proceedings, the parties should first try to resolve any dispute in good faith by written notice and reasonable engagement, unless urgent relief is required.
