Interaction between Oga/Employer and Apprentice/Employee

Bloom shall not be liable for your interactions with any organisations, suppliers or individuals found on or through use of the Services or the Site. Bloom does not exercise control over the timings or performance of suppliers in any way. Bloom is not responsible for any damage or loss incurred as a result of any such dealings in relation to the suppliers or otherwise. All dealings are solely between you and such organisations and/or individuals as the case may be.

Bloom is under no obligation to become involved in disputes between Oga/Employer and Apprentice/Employee, or between Site members and any third party. In the event of a dispute, you agree not to pursue Bloom, its officers, employees, agents or their successors in relation to any claims arising out of or related to such disputes and agree that Bloom, its officers, employees, agents, and their successors are exempt from and not subject to such claims. Oga/Employers are solely responsible for fulfilling obligations both implied and stated in any listing they create.

Bloom reserves the right to remove a listing / Oga/Employer from the Services at any time for any reason.

Opportunity Listing

As part of the Services, Oga/Employer may submit a request for a Opportunity Listing in respect of employment, education technology products they market or sell. Opportunity Listings can be browsed and reviewed by other users of Bloom. They aim to make it easier for Apprentice/Employee to find the right opportunity listed by an Oga/Employer.

Bloom reserves the right to refuse a request to list an opportunity for any reason in its sole discretion.

Bloom reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove any Opportunity Listing from the Site or prevent its use on the Site at any time. In such circumstances, Bloom will notify the Oga/Employer who shall immediately stop using and promoting the use of Bloom.

You can delete your Bloom user account by notifying us at [email protected].

Deleting your user account means that you will no longer be able to manage your profile page or interact with reviewers. The opportunity listing profile will remain available on Bloom and can be searched for by users.

We don’t delete an opportunity listing from Bloom unless the company has ceased operating. It is our goal to create a community of trustworthy and transparent reviews for the benefit of users.

Each review is user-generated content owned by the reviewer (the author in this instance). Once a product has been reviewed on Bloom, we do not remove reviews from an opportunity listing unless we're made aware that there's a breach of our community rules.

You confirm that any information, content or images provided by you when listing a product is/are complete and accurate and that you have obtained all required consents for such information, content and/or images to be used in accordance with the Content licence from you described below.

Bloom will use reasonable skill and care when preparing an Opportunity Listing requested by you. Bloom makes no other warranties or representations in relation to Opportunity Listings and, in particular but without limitation, makes no warranty or representation that any Opportunity Listing will result in any increased interest in or sales of such listings.

Bloom is not responsible for any information, content and/or images in Opportunity Listings that have been provided by an Oga/Employer, including (but not limited to) the accuracy or completeness of such information, content and/or images. Bloom is not responsible or liable for any products or services that may be listed on the Site. It is your responsibility to ensure the suitability, safety, quality and reliability of such products.

General legal terms

You agree that Bloom may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms, by email, or postings on the Site.

Bloom may transfer its rights and obligations under the Terms to another organisation, and Bloom will always notify you in writing if this happens, but this will not affect your rights or Bloom’s obligations under the Terms.

You agree that if Bloom does not exercise or enforce, or delays in exercising or enforcing, any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Bloom has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Bloom’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Bloom (and does not mean that you do not have to comply with your obligations). If Bloom does waive a default by you, Bloom will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that Bloom will automatically waive any later default by you.

This contract is between you and Bloom. A person who is not a party to the Terms has no right to rely on or enforce any of the Terms.

Each of the paragraphs of the Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected by the Terms and you may have rights under statute additional to those granted by the Terms.

Where the words "in writing" appear in the Terms, this includes email. If you wish to contact Bloom in writing, or if any provision in the Terms requires you to give Bloom notice in writing, you can send this to Bloom by e-mail to [email protected].

Governing Law

The Terms, and your relationship with Bloom under the Terms (including the subject-matter of the Terms and the formation of the contract, and any contractual or non-contractual dispute associated with your use of the Services), are governed by Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You and Bloom agree that the High court of Nigeria shall have jurisdiction to resolve any such dispute. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Bloom shall be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction in Nigeria.
