Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service beyond the limited right to use it in accordance with these Terms.

The Service integrates with or relies upon various third-party services, including but not limited to authentication providers, payment processors, cloud storage platforms, AI model providers, and error-tracking tools. These third-party services are governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party service. Your use of any third-party integration through the Service is at your own risk, and any disputes arising from third-party services must be directed to the relevant third-party provider.
Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LOCKEDIN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND TITLE.
Without limiting the foregoing, lockedin does not warrant that:
You acknowledge that career decisions are inherently personal and that no technology platform can guarantee specific professional results. Any reliance on the Service or its outputs is at your sole risk.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LOCKEDIN, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT LOCKEDIN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT SHALL LOCKEDIN'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO LOCKEDIN IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US $50.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, the limitations above shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless lockedin and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any rights of a third party, including intellectual property rights and privacy rights; or (e) any claim that your User Content caused damage to a third party.
This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of your account and these Terms.
You may close your account at any time by contacting us at locked@lockedin.work or through the account settings within the Service. Upon account closure, your right to access and use the Service terminates immediately.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to: violation of these Terms, suspected fraudulent or harmful activity, extended periods of inactivity, or at our sole discretion for any reason we deem necessary to protect the Service, its users, or our interests. Where practicable, we will provide notice prior to termination, but we are not obligated to do so.
Upon termination, the following provisions survive: Sections 7 (User Content), 8 (License Grant), 9 (Intellectual Property), 14 (Disclaimers), 15 (Limitation of Liability), 16 (Indemnification), 18 (Dispute Resolution), and 19 (Governing Law).
In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute"), you agree to first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us at locked@lockedin.work. We will attempt to resolve the Dispute through good-faith negotiation for a period of at least sixty (60) days.
If the Dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiation, you and lockedin agree that the Dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed-upon arbitration body, rather than in court. Arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis; class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted. Each party shall bear its own costs, and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.
Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. To the extent that arbitration does not apply to a particular Dispute, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in Nigeria for the resolution of such Dispute.
We reserve the right to revise these Terms at any time. When changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after any revised Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and close your account.
