3. Eligibility
You must be legally capable of entering into an agreement under applicable law to use services that require registration or contractual participation.
If a particular service has additional eligibility requirements, those requirements may be stated on the relevant page or application process.
We may restrict or terminate access where we reasonably believe that a user does not meet applicable eligibility requirements.
4. User Accounts
Certain Tesha features may require registration.
When creating an account, you agree to:

- Keep your username and password confidential;
- Not share your account with another person;
- Not impersonate another person or organisation;
- Not create accounts for fraudulent or abusive purposes;
- Notify us if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
You are responsible for activity conducted through your account unless the activity resulted from circumstances outside your reasonable control.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
5. Jobs and Employment Opportunities
Tesha may publish job vacancies submitted by employers, recruiters, organisations or other third parties.
Tesha does not guarantee:

- That an applicant will be interviewed;
- That an applicant will be employed;

Employers and other vacancy providers are responsible for the accuracy and legality of information they submit.
Users should independently verify important information before accepting employment or providing sensitive information to an employer.

You are responsible for ensuring that information included in your application is:
- Accurate;
- Truthful;
- Relevant;
- Lawful;
- Not misleading.
You must not submit another person’s CV, qualifications, identity information or other personal information without appropriate authority.
Tesha may transmit application information to the employer or organisation associated with the relevant vacancy.

Employers, recruiters and organisations posting opportunities on Tesha agree that information they provide must be accurate and lawful.
They must not use Tesha to:

- RFPs;
- EOIs;
- Consultancies;
- Grants;
- Procurement opportunities;
- Other business opportunities.
Tesha generally acts as an information platform and does not ordinarily issue or award the opportunities displayed on the website.
The organisation identified as the issuing organisation is responsible for the official tender, procurement process, requirements, deadlines and award decisions.
Users should always consult the official tender document and issuing organisation before submitting a bid or making any payment.
9. Tender Accuracy and Changes
Although Tesha may take reasonable steps to present opportunity information accurately, information may change after publication.
A tender may be:
- Amended;
- Extended;
- Cancelled;
- Withdrawn;
- Replaced;
- Closed earlier or later than originally stated.
Tesha does not guarantee that every listing will reflect the latest information at all times.
