1. The agreement
These terms are an agreement between you and Opaige, Inc., a Delaware corporation; Rebase is its product (“Rebase”, “we”, “us”), for using Rebase on the web and in our apps. By creating an account or using Rebase you accept them. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data and forms part of these terms.
2. Who can use Rebase
Your account is for one real person, you. Don’t share it, sell it or make one for someone else.
If you act for a company, you confirm you’re allowed to: for example, by verifying with an address at the company’s domain.
You can’t use Rebase if we’ve removed you before, or if the law where you live doesn’t allow it.
3. Be honest: the heart of Rebase
Rebase only works if what’s on it is true. So:
Only add roles, schools and proof of work that are really yours, and a location where you’re really based.
Only verify with an email address you’re entitled to use at that company or school.
Only confirm a colleague’s role, or vouch for someone, if you saw it first-hand. Say truthfully how you know them.
Only vouch for a company in the relationship you really had with it: employee, candidate, client, partner or supplier.
Don’t pretend to be someone else, or to speak for a company you don’t.
If something turns out to be false, we may remove it, take away ticks it earned, and suspend the accounts involved.
4. What verification means
A tick on Rebase means a specific check happened, and each one says which: a code to a work or university email, confirmations from verified colleagues or clients, or a review by our team. Next to a job or school, the tick means that one was checked. Next to a person’s name, it means their current work or study was checked. It doesn’t confirm someone’s identity documents, exact job title, seniority, pay or how well they did the job. The roles someone says they want aren’t checked; what their record shows about each one is.
We work hard to get checks right, but we can’t guarantee every record is accurate. Use your own judgement, especially for important decisions.
5. Your content
What you post on Rebase (your profile, notes, articles, photos, videos, comments and messages) stays yours.
So we can run Rebase, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, display and share your content within Rebase, in line with your settings. That includes showing your public profile and public notes on the web if you choose to make them public, and in link previews when someone shares them. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies other people have already received (such as messages) and short-term backups.
You’re responsible for what you post, and you confirm you have the right to post it.
6. What’s not allowed
Harassing, threatening, discriminating against or abusing anyone.
Spam, scams, pyramid schemes, or posting the same thing over and over.
Fake accounts, fake companies, fake jobs or fake reviews.
Sharing someone else’s private information without their permission.
Illegal content, or content that infringes someone else’s rights.
Copying data from Rebase with bots, scrapers or automated tools, or building a database of members.
Trying to get around limits, blocks, privacy settings or security, or to access accounts or data that aren’t yours.
Using Rebase to sell to members who haven’t asked, or to recruit for work that is unlawful. People who know each other can talk about anything; pitching people you’ve only just connected with isn’t allowed, and they can close the conversation in one tap.
Opening accounts with throwaway email addresses.
7. For companies and recruiters
Jobs must be real, open roles you’re hiring for, with an honest salary range. Don’t post jobs to collect data or advertise something else.
Job posts and hiring decisions must follow employment and anti-discrimination law where the job is.
Use applications and talent pools only for your own hiring, keep them confidential, and handle them as the law requires. Applicants are trusting you with their records.
How often and how quickly you reply to applicants is counted and shown publicly. You can’t edit or hide it. If you promise to answer every applicant within a set time, that promise is shown with how well you keep it, counted from the day you make it.
Vouches and the facts on your page come from verified people. You can report a vouch you believe is false, but you can’t remove one because you don’t like it.
Admins are responsible for who they let onto their company team.
Managing a page doesn’t make a company verified. The company tick is given only after an admin sends the company’s legal details and proves control of its domain. It’s granted at once when the registration matches an official register, the website is live on a domain more than a year old and the person asking is verified at the company; otherwise a person at Rebase reviews the request. The details you send must be true and your own company’s. We can decline a request or remove a tick, and we’ll tell you why.
8. Rooms
Open and private rooms are listed on Rebase, so they can only be started by people whose current work or study is verified. Anyone can start a hidden room, which only people with its invite link can join.
A room’s admins and moderators are responsible for it: they decide who joins a private room, can take posts down, and set its rules. Room rules apply on top of these terms, never instead of them.
A new account reads first: it can post and chat in rooms once it’s a day old or its current work or study is verified.
To keep rooms real, there are limits: three new rooms a day, and joining up to 20 rooms a day.
Calls in a room go directly between the people in them and aren’t recorded by Rebase.
9. Changing your name, photo and other details
So people can rely on who and what they’re dealing with, names, photos, banners, logos, covers and locations (of people, rooms and company pages) can each be changed twice in one day, then not again until 30 days after the first change. Adding one for the first time doesn’t count, and you can always remove a photo or banner.
10. Rebase ID
You decide who gets your Rebase ID. Anyone who opens it may use it only to check your record for the purpose you shared it for. It shows your record as it is at the moment it’s opened; it isn’t a certificate. You can switch it off at any time, and it stops working straight away.
11. Reports, moderation and suspensions
You can report anything that breaks these terms. We review reports, and we may hold posts for review, remove content, take away ticks, limit features or pause accounts that break these terms or put people at risk.
Rebase doesn’t ban accounts on reports. If several different people report an account in the same week, it becomes read-only for a time: you can still read everything, but can’t message, add people, post, comment or apply. The first time lasts 72 hours, the second 6 days, and after that 30 days.
Other behaviour that looks automated or unwanted is sent to a person at Rebase, who decides. Some limits apply to everyone to keep Rebase real, such as how many people a brand-new account can ask to join its Circle in a day.
Whenever your account is read-only or paused, you’ll see why and until when, and you can ask us to look again in the app. A person reads every request and answers within 5 business days, with the reason in writing.
If you lose access to your account, any email you’ve verified on Rebase can sign you in. If none work, the people you chose as recovery contacts can confirm it’s you, or a person at Rebase will decide within 2 business days. You’ll have one case with a status you can check.
12. Free, and how that could change
Rebase is free for people and companies. If we ever introduce paid features, we’ll tell you clearly in advance, nothing you already use will start charging without your agreement, and nobody will be able to pay to message you or to change the facts on a profile or company page.
We keep improving Rebase, which means features may change or be retired. If we stop offering Rebase altogether, we’ll give you notice and time to download your data.
13. Leaving Rebase
You can download your data and delete your account at any time from Settings. If you’re the only admin of a company page with a team, hand it to someone else first. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms. Sections that by their nature should continue after an account closes (such as content licences for copies others hold, and the limits below) continue.
14. Responsibility and limits
We provide Rebase as it is. We aren’t an employment agency, we don’t guarantee jobs, hires, introductions or business outcomes, and we aren’t responsible for what members say, post or do, or for decisions made using information on Rebase.
As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost profits, data or opportunities, and because Rebase is free, our total liability to you is limited to US$100. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, and nothing affects your rights as a consumer.
15. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of the State of Delaware, United States. If there’s a problem, please write to us first; most things can be sorted out quickly. If you live in the UK or the EU, you can also bring a claim in the courts where you live, and the consumer protections of that country still apply to you.
16. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we’ll tell you in the app at least 30 days before the change takes effect, unless it’s needed sooner for legal or safety reasons. If you don’t agree, you can delete your account before then.
