These Terms govern your use of Salary Index, operated by Paxizon Technologies Limited.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Paxizon Technologies Limited (“Paxizon”, “we”, “us” or “our”), the company that operates Salary Index. They govern your access to and use of the Salary Index website and related features (the “Service”).
By accessing or using the Service, or by submitting any data to it, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. The Service
Salary Index publishes anonymised salary listings and compensation benchmarks for Nigeria. Know your worth compares the pay you enter with those benchmarks.
Browsing the Service is free. We may add, change, suspend or remove features at any time.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 and able to form a binding contract. By using the Service, you confirm that you meet these requirements and that your use complies with the laws that apply to you.
4. Your Submissions
You may send us salary information or Know your worth answers (your “Submission”), including optional details such as a company name or job title.
By submitting, you confirm that the information is, to the best of your knowledge, true and accurate; that it is yours to share; that sharing it does not breach a non-disclosure agreement, employment contract, or any other duty of confidentiality; and that it is not false, misleading, defamatory or unlawful.
You are solely responsible for your Submission and for any legal risk in it, including incorrect information or a breach of confidentiality. If a third party makes a claim because of what you entered, that claim is yours. Paxizon is not liable to you or to any third party for your Submission.
Do not send national identification numbers (such as NIN, BVN, or passport or driver’s licence numbers), bank or payment card numbers, passwords, or health information.
You grant Paxizon a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free licence to store, clean, anonymise, aggregate, adapt and publish your Submission to operate and improve the Service. Paxizon owns the resulting anonymised dataset. You may ask us to correct or remove a Submission; information already combined into aggregate data may no longer be separable.
We may review, edit, reclassify or remove a Submission, for example to correct an obvious error, standardise a role, or protect anonymity. We may use feedback you send us to improve the Service without payment to you.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to, and not to allow anyone else to:
- scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk-download or use bots or other automated means to extract data from the Service, or use the data to train any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model (we grant operators of public search engines revocable permission to crawl the Service solely to create publicly available search indices);
- copy, resell, sublicense, redistribute or commercially exploit the data or any substantial part of it without our written consent;
- use the Service or its data to build or assist a competing product, dataset or service;
- attempt to re-identify any person or the employer behind an anonymised listing;
- bypass access controls, rate limits or other safeguards;
- use the Service or its data to harass, profile, discriminate against or harm any person;
- reverse engineer, interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service; or
- use the Service in a way that breaks the law or these Terms.
6. Advertising Bookings
You may book a sponsored placement for any available dates offered at checkout, at the daily price shown before you pay. A booking runs for 7 to 31 days, and the start and end dates are both included. Bookings are currently available for dates up to 31 December 2026.
Each placement is booked separately. The mobile top and desktop sidebar placements are shared: up to 20 ads take turns there each day, so your ad appears in rotation with others. The bottom placements on the salaries page and on individual salary pages are exclusive: one advertiser holds each of them for the day. We do not guarantee a number of impressions or clicks for any placement. An ad booked before placements could be chosen separately appears in both the mobile top and desktop sidebar placements.
Once your payment is confirmed, you receive a private link to your ad's statistics. Anyone with the link can see them, so share it only with people you trust. Views and clicks from automated browsers and known crawlers are not counted.
Every booking needs a business name, logo, square ad image, headline, description and website address. You confirm that your details are accurate, you are authorised to act for the advertiser, and you own or may use the submitted name, logo, image, copy and destination. Ads must not be illegal, adult, gambling, political, deceptive, discriminatory or fraudulent; contain malware; promote lending or recruitment agencies; or promote a crypto or blockchain scam. Legitimate payment and financial-technology products may be accepted.
Once your ad has run, we may show your business name and logo on our advertising page among the businesses that have advertised on Salary Index. To have them removed, contact us at paxizon@gmail.com.
Payments are processed by Bachs. A booking is confirmed once the full price is received. If the amount received is less or more than the price, the booking is held until we review it, and the ad does not run in the meantime.
You may extend a running ad or renew one that has ended, on the same terms and at the price shown at the time. If we pause an ad, for example to correct a problem with it, the paused days count towards the booking and the end date stays the same unless we agree to change it.
We may remove an ad we reasonably consider unsuitable. If we remove a paid ad for that reason, we will arrange a full refund of the campaign charge. Refunds go to the original payment method where our provider allows it, otherwise by another method we agree with you. Each payment can be refunded only once. If a payment is reversed through a dispute or chargeback, the ad stops running. For changes or support, contact us at paxizon@gmail.com.
7. Job Postings
You may post a job if you are the employer, or are authorised by the employer to recruit for the role. A posting must describe a real vacancy that is open at the company named, and its title, location and any pay shown must be accurate.
A job posting must not:
- ask applicants to pay anything, including application, registration, training, medical, uniform or equipment fees;
- ask for bank details, identity documents or payment before an applicant has been offered the job;
- promise guaranteed or daily earnings, or recruit for trading, investment, cryptocurrency, network-marketing or pyramid schemes;
- discriminate against applicants in a way the law does not allow; or
- be illegal, adult, deceptive, or a way to collect people's details for any purpose other than the job.
A posting costs ₦10,000, paid once, at the price shown before you pay. It runs for 7 to 31 days, then it comes down; it cannot run longer than 31 days in total, including any extension. Up to 10 postings are shown at a time. Payments are processed by Bachs. A posting is confirmed once the full price is received; if the amount received is less or more than the price, it is held until we review it. A confirmed posting is shown from its start date to its end date, both included. We do not guarantee any number of views, clicks or applicants.
We may hold a posting for review before or while it runs, including after payment, if it shows signs of recruitment fraud or is reported. A held posting is not shown. If we approve it, it runs to its original end date; the days it was held are not added on.
Anyone can report a posting. We may take a posting down at any time if we reasonably believe it breaks these Terms, is misleading or puts applicants at risk. A posting taken down for breaking these Terms is not refunded. If we take one down for any other reason, we will refund the days it did not run. Refunds go to the original payment method where our provider allows it, otherwise by another method we agree with you, and each payment can be refunded only once.
You may also bid for one of the five places in Recent Job Postings, shown beside the salaries. The lowest bid is ₦5,000. Postings are listed by bid, highest first, and on equal bids by who bid first. A bid lasts for the rest of the posting's run. Anyone may outbid you; a new bid must be at least ₦1,000 more than your current one and is paid in full. Bids are not refunded when you are outbid, and a posting taken down for breaking these Terms loses its place without a refund. When all five places are taken for your dates, no new bids can be made.
Once your payment is confirmed, you receive a private link to your posting's statistics. Anyone with the link can see them, so share it only with people you trust. Views and taps from automated browsers and known crawlers are not counted. The page also lets you bid for Recent Job Postings.
Salary Index shows job postings; it is not an employment agency or a recruiter and takes no part in hiring. Applicants apply to, and deal directly with, the employer. You are responsible for your hiring process, for the accuracy of your posting, and for handling applicants' personal data lawfully, including under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. Where we suspect fraud, we may share details of a posting and of who paid for it with law enforcement.
8. Monitoring and Enforcement
We may review or remove content, investigate suspected violations and restrict access. We may disclose information where required by law, or to enforce these Terms or protect legal rights and safety.
9. The Data Is Informational Only
Listings, medians, Know your worth results and other benchmarks are general information, provided “as is”. We do not independently verify most Submissions and do not warrant that any figure is accurate, complete, current or representative of any role, company or market.
Nothing on the Service is financial, legal, career or employment advice. Do not rely on it as the sole basis for a decision. Any reliance is at your own risk.
10. Intellectual Property
The Service, including the compiled dataset, software, design, the “Salary Index” name and logo, and the selection and presentation of the data, is owned by or licensed to Paxizon.
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, revocable licence to use the Service for your own non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.
11. Third-Party Links and Services
The Service may link to third-party sites or use third-party providers. We are not responsible for their content, policies or practices. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that party’s terms.
12. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and all data are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Paxizon and its directors, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service or from a Submission. To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you will not exceed one hundred United States dollars (USD $100) or its equivalent.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Paxizon and its directors, employees and agents from claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your Submissions, your advertisements or job postings, including a breach of an NDA or other confidentiality duty, incorrect information, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
15. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access if we believe you have violated these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Sections that should survive termination (including the content licence, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law) continue to apply.
16. Changes to the Service and These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date above. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
17. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The courts of Lagos State, Nigeria have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service.
18. General Provisions
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Paxizon regarding the Service.
- Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will stand.
- Waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them, including in a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Electronic communications. You agree that notices we send electronically satisfy any requirement that they be in writing.
