Last Updated: 15 May 2025  ·  Effective Date: 1 June 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using LankaConnects (“the Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Platform.

LankaConnects is operated by LankaConnects FZ-LLC, a company registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use LankaConnects. By using the Platform, you confirm that you meet this requirement. Users under 18 are not permitted to create accounts or post content.

3. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must not share your password with anyone or allow others to access your account.

You must provide accurate and truthful information when creating your account. Providing false information, including a false name, email, or company details, is grounds for immediate account termination.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

4. Job Seekers

Job seekers may create a profile and apply for jobs listed on the Platform free of charge. By submitting an application, you consent to the employer viewing your profile, CV, and contact details.

LankaConnects does not guarantee employment. We are a marketplace connecting job seekers with employers — we do not endorse any employer or guarantee the accuracy of job listings.

Never pay a fee to apply for a job. Legitimate employers do not charge job seekers to apply. Report any listing that requests payment at hello@lankaconnects.ae.

5. Employers

Employers may post job listings on LankaConnects. By posting a listing, you confirm that:

  • The job opportunity is genuine and legally available in the UAE
  • You have the authority to hire for the role described
  • All salary and benefit information stated is accurate
  • The role complies with UAE Labour Law

LankaConnects reserves the right to remove any listing that violates these terms or appears fraudulent, without notice or refund.

6. Business Directory

Businesses listed on LankaConnects must be legally registered and operating. You must not list a business that does not exist, has ceased trading, or operates illegally under UAE law.

Reviews and ratings posted on business profiles must be genuine first-hand experiences. Posting fake reviews — positive or negative — is strictly prohibited and may result in account termination and legal action.

7. Classifieds

You may not list items that are:

  • Stolen, counterfeit, or illegally obtained
  • Prohibited under UAE law (weapons, controlled substances, etc.)
  • Misleadingly described in terms of condition, price, or authenticity
  • Digital goods, services that require ongoing delivery, or financial products
LankaConnects is not a party to any transaction between buyers and sellers. We strongly recommend meeting in public places and using secure payment methods. We are not liable for any loss arising from classified transactions.

8. Community Forum & Content

When posting in the forum, classifieds, or anywhere else on the Platform, you agree not to post content that:

  • Is false, misleading, or defamatory
  • Harasses, threatens, or intimidates other users
  • Contains spam, unsolicited advertising, or recruitment pitches
  • Violates any UAE law or regulation
  • Infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party
  • Contains personal information of others without their consent

LankaConnects reserves the right to remove any content and suspend any user that violates these guidelines, at our sole discretion.

9. Payments & Subscriptions

Paid plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. All prices are in AED and inclusive of applicable UAE VAT.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time from your dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — no partial refunds are issued.

Refunds are only issued in the following circumstances: duplicate charges, technical errors preventing access, or where required by UAE consumer protection law.

10. Prohibited Conduct

You must not:

  • Scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Platform using automated means
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Platform
  • Impersonate another person, company, or LankaConnects staff

By posting content on LankaConnects (forum posts, reviews, listings), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display and distribute that content on the Platform.

12. Limitation of Liability

LankaConnects provides the Platform on an “as is” basis. We do not warrant that the Platform will be error-free or uninterrupted.

To the maximum extent permitted by UAE law, LankaConnects is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, including any loss arising from employment decisions, classified transactions, or reliance on community content.
