GCC ERA IS NOT:
- An employer
- A recruitment agency
- A staffing firm
- A hiring authority
- A guarantor of employment outcomes
No relationship of employer–employee, principal–agent, partnership, or joint venture is created between GCC ERA and any User or Company.
4. GCC Classification, Database & Market Intelligence Disclaimer
GCC ERA maintains proprietary databases identifying:
- Whether a company qualifies as a Global Capability Centre
- Sector, industry, maturity, and operational status
These classifications are based on internal methodologies, public data, and market signals; updated approximately every six months. GCC ERA does not warrant absolute accuracy. Discrepancies may be reported to hello@gccera.com. GCC ERA shall not be liable for decisions made based on such classifications.
5. User Accounts & Information Accuracy
Certain features require account creation. Users agree to provide accurate, complete, current, and non-misleading information. GCC ERA reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts with false or misleading data.
6. High-Risk Professional & Sensitive Data Submission
Users may voluntarily submit highly sensitive professional data, including but not limited to:
- CVs / resumes
- Salary slips and compensation details
- CTC breakdowns
- Employment hierarchy data
- Employer details
- Career history
- Voice recordings from mock interview sessions and their transcripts
By submitting such data you expressly confirm:
- You have full legal right to share it
- Submission does not breach any employment contract or NDA
- GCC ERA is indemnified against third-party claims arising from such submission
GCC ERA does not verify the authenticity or accuracy of any professional or compensation-related information submitted by users.
Voice recording note: Each voice mock session displays a separate consent prompt before recording begins; by clicking "Start interview" you provide explicit consent for audio recording, transcription, and AI scoring as detailed in our Privacy Policy §12.
7. AI, Matching, Scoring & Algorithmic Disclosures and Disclaimers
7.1 Use of Artificial Intelligence and Automated Systems
GCC ERA uses artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning models, statistical techniques, and rule-based algorithms to support certain features, including:
- Analysis of user profiles, resumes, and professional information
- Identification and suggestion of job opportunities and career options
- Skill, role, sector, and company alignment
- Generation of market intelligence, insights, rankings, and recommendations
7.2 Nature, Scope, and Limitations of AI Outputs
All outputs, insights, suggestions, scores, rankings, or recommendations generated through AI or algorithmic systems:
- Are informational, indicative, and probabilistic in nature
- Are derived from available data, user-provided information, historical patterns, and system logic
- Do not constitute guarantees, assurances, representations, or promises of accuracy, completeness, suitability, or outcomes
- May change, evolve, or be discontinued as systems are updated
7.3 No Automated Decisions with Legal, Employment, or Financial Effect
GCC ERA does not use AI to make decisions with legal, contractual, employment, financial, or similarly significant effect. All hiring, interview, selection, rejection, compensation, and employment-term decisions are made solely and independently by third-party employers or organizations — not by GCC ERA.
7.4 Human Oversight and System Controls
AI-generated outputs may, at GCC ERA's sole discretion, be reviewed, monitored, adjusted, restricted, or overridden by human administrators; supplemented with non-automated inputs; or removed, corrected, or limited without notice. The presence of human oversight does not imply an obligation to review every AI-generated output.
7.5 Data Dependency and System Constraints
AI and algorithmic systems depend on the accuracy, completeness, and relevance of data provided by users and third-party sources; may reflect data gaps, outdated information, or systemic limitations; and may produce different results for similar inputs due to evolving models or contextual factors.
7.6 Disclaimer of Liability Relating to AI and Algorithms
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GCC ERA expressly disclaims all liability arising from:
- Errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in AI-generated outputs
- Algorithmic bias, model limitations, or data quality issues
- Missed opportunities, perceived mismatches, or unfavourable outcomes
- Non-selection, rejection, lack of interview calls, or hiring decisions
- Any reliance placed by users or third parties on AI-assisted outputs
7.7 User Responsibility and Independent Judgment
Users acknowledge that AI-assisted features are decision-support tools only. Users remain solely responsible for their professional, career, and employment decisions, and must apply independent judgment, verification, and discretion.
7.8 No Warranties or Representations
GCC ERA makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, regarding accuracy, reliability, suitability, or fitness of AI outputs for any particular purpose. AI-assisted features are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis.
7.9 Data Export and AI Training Opt-out
Users may request a full export of their personal data and AI-generated content at any time per Privacy Policy §8 (dashboard → "Download my data"). Exports are delivered as a JSON file within 36 hours; each download is a one-time use. Users may opt out of having their data used to improve our AI models by emailing hello@gccera.com.
8. Job Aggregation & External Applications
- GCC ERA only aggregates job opportunities. Users are redirected to company websites or third-party portals.
- GCC ERA does not control hiring decisions, influence selection, or guarantee interviews.
- All hiring outcomes are solely between the User and the hiring entity.
9. Payments, Subscriptions, Refunds & Cancellations

9.3 Nature of Digital Services
GCC ERA provides digital, SaaS-based, intelligence, content, and community services, many of which are delivered immediately upon payment or accessible instantly after activation. Accordingly, such services are not comparable to physical goods and are subject to different refund principles.
9.4 No Automatic Refunds
Unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing by GCC ERA:
- All payments made on the Platform are non-refundable
- Subscriptions cannot be cancelled mid-billing cycle

No other circumstances create a refund obligation.

9.7 Account Deletion and Active Subscriptions
Users with an active paid plan who delete their account during the subscription period waive any right to refund of the unused portion. The 30-day grace period (Privacy Policy §7) lets users reconsider before any data is lost.
