These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Candidlyst (the "Service"), currently operated by an individual and not yet a formally incorporated business entity. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use Candidlyst. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement.
2. Description of the Service
Candidlyst is an AI-powered job search tool that allows you to analyze job postings against your stated preferences, generate tailored resumes and cover letters, run simulated ATS (applicant tracking system) analysis, and track your job applications. Certain features consume "credits," which you purchase in advance.
3. Account Registration
To use certain features of the Service, you must create an account using a valid email address. Access to your account is provided through a passwordless "magic link" sent to your email. You are responsible for maintaining control of the email account associated with your Candidlyst account, since anyone with access to that email can access your Candidlyst account.
4. Credits and Payments
- Certain features of the Service require credits, which are purchased in advance through Stripe.
- All credit purchases are final. We do not offer refunds for purchased or unused credits, except where required by applicable law.
- Credit costs for specific actions may be adjusted over time; the cost in effect at the time you take an action is the cost that applies.
- We are not responsible for credits lost due to your own account access issues (for example, losing access to the email address associated with your account).
5. Your Content
You retain full ownership of the career-related content you upload or generate through the Service, including resumes, job descriptions, and generated application materials ("Your Content"). Because Your Content is stored in your browser rather than on our servers, we do not claim any ownership over it.
By using AI-powered features, you authorize us to transmit the relevant portion of Your Content to our AI service provider (Anthropic) solely for the purpose of processing your specific request, as described in our Privacy Policy.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that any information you provide (including in resumes, cover letters, and job application materials generated through the Service) is accurate and truthful. Candidlyst does not verify the accuracy of information you submit or that is generated on your behalf.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
- Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its underlying systems
- Use the Service to generate content that is fraudulent, defamatory, or that misrepresents your qualifications, identity, or credentials in bad faith
- Resell, sublicense, or provide unauthorized third-party access to the Service or your account
7. No Guarantee of Employment Outcomes
Candidlyst is a tool to assist with your job search. We do not guarantee that using the Service will result in interviews, job offers, or any particular employment outcome. AI-generated content (including fit scores, resumes, cover letters, and ATS analysis) is provided as a starting point and assessment tool, not as a guarantee of accuracy, fit, or hiring success. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all AI-generated content before using it in your actual job applications.
8. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL CANDIDLYST OR ITS OPERATOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
10. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time by contacting us.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of law principles, regardless of your location.
