1. Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of DimaHire, including our website, the Dima AI assistant on WhatsApp, and any related services (together, the "Platform"). DimaHire connects independent talents with customers and businesses across our supported markets, including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
By creating an account, using Dima, browsing talent profiles, posting a job, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.
2. Who Can Use DimaHire
DimaHire is intended for use by individuals and businesses who are legally permitted to enter into binding agreements under the laws that apply to them. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that business to these Terms.
DimaHire Registrations of talent requires that every talents is 18 years and above and has a proven consent to work and earn. DimaHire reserves the right to request proof of eligibility and to suspend accounts that do not meet applicable requirements.
3. Your Account
When you create a DimaHire account, you agree to:
- provide accurate, current, and complete information
- keep your login credentials and any account access confidential
- notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
- remain responsible for activity that occurs under your account
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, present a security or fraud risk, or where required by law — see Section 22 (Termination).
4. Talents on DimaHire
Talents are independent professionals — for example developers, designers, barbers, chefs, shoemakers, photographers, videographers, marketers, consultants, artisans, and other skilled service providers — who use DimaHire to showcase their work and receive opportunities.
Independent contractor status
Creating a talent profile on DimaHire does not, by itself, make you an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of DimaHire. Talents operate as independent contractors or independent service providers, unless a separate written agreement between you and DimaHire expressly states otherwise.
No cost to register
Talents are not charged simply to create a profile. DimaHire may charge fees tied to specific activity on the Platform — see Section 10 (Fees).
Your Dima ID
Talents may be assigned a unique platform identifier (for example, DMH-pq34w2) used to identify and discover your profile through Dima. Your Dima ID is a DimaHire platform reference only — it is not a government-issued identification number and should not be treated or represented as one.
5. Dima, Our AI Assistant
Dima is DimaHire's AI-powered assistant, made available primarily through WhatsApp. Dima can help customers describe what they need, surface suitable talents, assist with booking workflows, and answer questions about the Platform.
AI limitations
- Dima's outputs may sometimes be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.
- Talent recommendations are suggestions, not guarantees of suitability, availability, or quality.
- Dima does not replace your own judgment — you should independently evaluate any talent, business, or opportunity before making important decisions.
- We do not guarantee that a talent recommended by Dima will be a good fit for your needs.
- Dima's availability, features, and behavior may change over time without prior notice.
6. WhatsApp and Meta
Dima operates in part through WhatsApp, a service provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. or its affiliates ("Meta"). DimaHire does not own or control WhatsApp or Meta. Your use of WhatsApp to interact with Dima is also subject to WhatsApp's and Meta's own terms of service and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
We are not responsible for outages, changes, or restrictions imposed by WhatsApp or Meta that affect your ability to use Dima.
7. Identity and Business Verification
DimaHire may require talents and/or businesses to complete identity or business verification, which may be carried out with the help of third-party verification providers (for example, Didit or similar providers). Verification may include government-issued ID checks, facial or liveness checks, identity matching, address verification, business verification, and fraud or risk checks.
What a verification badge means
A verification badge or status indicates that DimaHire, or a verification provider acting on our behalf, completed the applicable verification process at a point in time. It is not an absolute guarantee that a person is trustworthy, safe, qualified, or free from fraud, and should not be relied on as such.
We may reject, suspend, or request additional verification at our discretion, including where we suspect fraud, misuse, or non-compliance with these Terms.
8. Connected Accounts and Work Proof
DimaHire may let talents connect external accounts or tools to showcase their work, such as GitHub, LinkedIn, Figma, YouTube, Behance, Vercel, or Google Drive.
- Connecting any supported integration is optional and controlled by you.
- Connecting an account may require you to authorize access through that third-party provider directly.
- We only request and use the information reasonably necessary to power the relevant feature (for example, displaying selected projects on your profile).
- Third-party providers have their own terms of service and privacy policies, which apply to your use of those services.
- Connecting an account does not mean DimaHire guarantees the quality, ownership, authorship, or accuracy of any work shown through that integration.
- We may remove or stop displaying content sourced from a connected account if it violates these Terms or our other policies.
9. Your Content and Portfolio
You may upload or submit content to DimaHire, including profile photos, portfolio images, descriptions, work samples, documents, skills, experience, links, and business information ("User Content").
Ownership and your responsibilities
You must own your User Content or have the necessary rights and permission to submit it. You agree not to upload content that is stolen, infringes someone else's copyright or other rights, is illegal, deceptive, malicious, fraudulent, or that discloses another person's private information without authorization.
License you grant us
You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting it, you grant DimaHire a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, display, and otherwise use your User Content as reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, secure, improve, and promote the Platform (for example, showing your portfolio to prospective customers through Dima). This license ends when you remove the relevant content or close your account, except where a copy is reasonably retained for backup, legal, or record-keeping purposes.
10. Bookings and Hiring
The typical process for hiring a talent through DimaHire looks like this:
- a customer describes the service or role they need (typically via Dima);
- the customer receives one or more talent recommendations;
- the customer selects a talent;
- the customer pays any applicable booking or payment amount;
- the customer receives a booking reference or confirmation;
- where applicable, the talent accepts or declines the opportunity; and
- if accepted, the talent and customer proceed with the service.
No guarantee of outcome
DimaHire does not guarantee:
- that any talent will accept a given opportunity,
- that a customer will complete a transaction,
- that a job or booking will be completed successfully,
- the quality, timeliness, or legality of services provided by independent talents, or
- that a customer–talent relationship will continue beyond a given booking.
11. Payments, Holds, and Earnings
DimaHire may facilitate payments between customers and talents through third-party payment processors. We do not directly custody funds outside of what those processors provide.
- Payments may be held or restricted while a booking is pending or in progress.
- Funds may become available for withdrawal by a talent once applicable completion or eligibility conditions are met.
- Withdrawals may be subject to processing times, additional verification, fees, limits, fraud checks, and applicable law.
- Refunds, where applicable, are handled under our platform refund rules in effect at the time of the transaction.
- Our payment processors have their own terms that apply to the handling of your payment information and funds.
12. Fees
DimaHire may charge fees, which can include:
- booking or transaction/platform fees,
- business subscription fees,
- job posting, listing, or hiring fees, and
- other fees that we disclose in connection with the relevant feature.
Where reasonably possible, applicable fees are disclosed before you complete a payment. We may change our fees from time to time; where a change affects you, we will provide reasonable notice before it takes effect.
13. Business Accounts
Businesses can use DimaHire to hire talents, publish jobs or opportunities, promote their business, list products or services, and become discoverable through Dima. Businesses agree to provide accurate and current information about themselves.
Where DimaHire offers subscription or other business pricing, current pricing is made available on the Platform and is not restated here. Pricing may change from time to time in accordance with Section 12 (Fees).
14. Prohibited Conduct
When using DimaHire, you agree not to:
- engage in fraud, scams, impersonation, or the creation of fake identities or fake reviews;

16. Third-Party Services
DimaHire relies on third-party services to operate the Platform, including WhatsApp/Meta, Supabase, payment providers, identity verification providers, external work integrations, and cloud infrastructure providers.
These third parties have their own terms of service and privacy policies. DimaHire is not responsible for outages, errors, or policy changes by third-party providers that are beyond our reasonable control.

- business outcomes or performance,
- that a job or booking will be completed,
- uninterrupted or error-free availability of the Platform,
- the accuracy of Dima's outputs, or
- the continued availability of any third-party service integrated with the Platform.
18. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DimaHire and its officers, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Platform. Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

21. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Where changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice through the Platform, Dima, or other reasonable means.

22. Termination
You may stop using DimaHire at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform if you violate these Terms, present a fraud or security risk, or as required by law.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 17 through 19 and 24 through 25 — will continue to apply. Outstanding payment, refund, or dispute obligations that arose before termination will continue to apply.
