By paying the registration fee, employees can apply for unlimited job opportunities, accept hiring requests from employers, and access premium features.

It is important to note that payment of the subscription fee does not guarantee successful hiring. (C) Commission: Emebet does not charge or accept a commission for most positions, with the exception of maids, nannies, and home care/private nurses. For these specific positions, Emebet may charge an additional commission ranging from 15% to 30% of the employee's net salary. Employers are responsible for paying this commission, which may be deducted from the employee's first month's salary. This commission is necessary due to the increased effort required to create job matches for these roles, given the significant demand-supply gap in the market.

You understand and agree that Emebet is not responsible for any disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damages of any kind that may arise from interactions between users, including but not limited to theft, misconduct, or any other unlawful behavior.

Emebet reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Users, and you shall not, in any event, settle any claim or matter on behalf of Emebet without the written consent of Emebet.

19. Arbitration

Any controversy, claim, suit, injury or damage arising from or in any way related to the Site, its use, its User (e.g. Employers, Employees, Agents) conduct, or the Terms shall be settled by binding arbitration under the Laws of Ethiopia. Emebet and you will attempt to agree on a single arbitrator. If agreement is not possible, each party will select its own arbitrator. Each party's arbitrator will, in turn, confer and select a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will base the decision on the evidence presented and following these Terms and governing law, including statutory and judicial authority. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. The arbitrator will issue a written decision, which will contain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding upon all parties. YOU AND EMEBET AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS, SUIT, INJURY, HARM, LOSS OR DAMAGE AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND EMEBET AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER EMEBET USERS. The arbitration shall be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances; and the judgment of the arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. You will bear only those costs of arbitration that you would have borne had you brought a claim covered by this arbitration provision in court. If you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Emebet will pay as much of the arbitration fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, disputes may be brought before an administrative agency to the extent applicable law requires access to an agency notwithstanding the existence of this arbitration provision. Nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed to: (i) relieve any party of the duty to exhaust administrative remedies by filing a charge or complaint with an administrative agency and obtaining a right to sue notice, where otherwise required by law; or (ii) prevent either party from cooperating with a federal or state body as required by law. However, you understand that you are not entitled to a double recovery or eligible to receive any monetary benefit from any action brought by an administrative agency except as required by law. You may represent yourself in the arbitration or be represented by an attorney or another representative. Once we receive your arbitration claim, we may assert any counterclaims we may have against you. If a tribunal or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines that the arbitration provision is unenforceable, you agree that the exclusive forum and/or venue for any controversy, claim, suit, injury, harm, loss or damage arising from or in any way related to the use, inability to use or provision of these Terms shall be any State Court or Federal Court, and you hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for purposes of any such proceeding. You and Emebet agree that any dispute is personal to you and Emebet and that any such controversy, claim, suit, injury, harm, loss or damage shall be brought on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated with any controversy, claim, suit, injury, harm, loss or damage of any other party. However, this representative action waiver may be severed if it would otherwise render these Terms unenforceable.

20. Injunction

You agree that any material breach of the Terms will result in irreparable harm to Emebet for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Emebet will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if Emebet seeks such an injunction.

21. Notices; modification and termination of services; amendment of terms

Emebet may provide notice to Users via email, regular mail, or posting notices or links to notices on the Site and/or app. Emebet reserves the right at any time to modify, suspend or terminate the services (or any part thereof), and/or use of or access to them, with or without notice. Emebet may also delete, or bar access to or use of, all related information and files. Emebet will not be liable to Users or any third-party for any modification, suspension, or termination of service, or loss of related information. Emebet may amend these Terms at any time by posting the amended terms on this Site and/or app.

22. Governing law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed following the substantive laws, without regard to choice of law rules, of the State of Ethiopia.

23. Entire agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Emebet relating to their subject matter, and cancel and supersede any prior versions of the Terms.
