Terms of Service

Creating an account means you accept these terms. If you do not, do not create one — and if you already have, section 11 explains how to leave.

You need to be at least 16 years old to use the service.

Applied is a tool for tracking your own job search: a board of applications, a CV builder, a calendar view, statistics, import and export, and a browser extension that saves a posting from the page you are reading.

It is a tool, not an agency. We do not apply to jobs for you, do not represent you to employers, and do not promise that using it produces interviews or offers.

• One account is for one person. Do not share credentials.
• Keep your password to yourself. Anything done through your account is treated as done by you.
• Use an email address you actually control — it is how you recover access, and losing it can mean losing the account.

• Break the law with it, or use it to harass anyone — including the recruiters and contacts whose details you store.
• Upload other people's personal data without a lawful reason to hold it. A recruiter's work contact on an application you are running is one thing; a list of people harvested from somewhere is another.
• Attack the service: probing for holes, bypassing the usage limits, scripting the API for volume, or trying to reach another account's data.
• Resell the service or pass it off as your own product.
• Use the AI features to generate content you know to be false and send it to an employer as fact. See section 6.

If you do these things, we may suspend or delete the account, and for anything serious we will do so without notice.

Your applications, notes, resumes and cover letters belong to you. We claim no ownership of them.

You give us permission to store and process that content for one purpose: running the service for you. That includes sending the relevant parts to the providers listed in the Privacy Policy when a feature requires it. The permission ends when you delete the content or the account.

You are responsible for having the right to upload what you upload.

The sparkle actions in the CV Builder rewrite bullets, write summaries, score a resume against a posting and draft cover letters. Everything they produce is generated text.

It can be wrong, and it can be confidently wrong. A model asked to make a bullet sound stronger can invent a number, a scope or a result that was never yours. A match score is an estimate, not an assessment.

You are responsible for everything you send to an employer. Read what was generated before it goes into a resume. A résumé that overstates your experience is your problem with that employer, not a defect in this tool — and we accept no liability for the consequences of sending generated text you did not check.

Connecting Google means Google's terms also apply to what happens in your calendar and your Drive. Saving a posting from a job board means that board's terms apply to your use of their site. We are not a party to those agreements and cannot resolve problems inside them.

Those services can change or break in ways we do not control. If a job board changes its pages, the extension may stop reading them correctly until it is updated.

The extension reads the page you are looking at, when you are looking at it, and sends a card to your board only when you press save. It does not run in the background collecting pages, and it does not read anything on a page you have not opened.

Use it on your own account and your own browsing. Do not use it to bulk-collect postings in ways the sites themselves forbid.

The service is in beta. It can change, features can move or be removed, and it can be unavailable — for maintenance, because a provider is down, or because something broke. There is no uptime guarantee.

Keep your own copies of anything you would hate to lose. The export buttons exist for exactly this: the board to Excel, CSV or Google Sheets, and your profile and resumes to JSON or Excel. We take reasonable care of your data, but during beta we do not guarantee backups or recovery, and data can be lost.

Applied is currently free, with no card required and no trial running out from underneath you.

Paid plans are planned. When they arrive: you will be told in advance, nothing you already have starts costing money without you agreeing to it, and no charge is taken without an explicit purchase. If you decline, you keep a free account rather than losing access to your data.

You can leave at any time, from the bottom of the Profile page. Deleting the account removes it and its contents immediately and permanently, as described in the Privacy Policy. Export first if you want a copy.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks section 4, that is being used to harm the service or another person, or where the law requires it. Where it is reasonable to warn you first, we will.

If we discontinue the service altogether, we will give notice and time to export your data.

The service is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties about it: not that it will be uninterrupted, not that it will be free of errors, and not that it is fit for any particular purpose of yours.

Nothing here removes rights you have as a consumer that cannot be removed by agreement.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses: lost opportunities, a job you did not get, lost profits, or data you did not export.

Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the problem — which, while the service is free, is nothing.

We do not limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not permit to be limited.

These terms can change as the service does. The date at the top changes with them, and for changes that materially affect you we will give notice rather than expecting you to re-read the page. Continuing to use the service after a change means accepting it; if you do not, delete the account.

These terms are governed by the law of TODO: governing jurisdiction, and disputes go to its courts.

If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country, or of your right to bring a case there.
