these terms of service ("terms") are a binding agreement between you and applyied ("applyied," "we," "us") governing your access to and use of the applyied website, applications, and job application tracking service (collectively, the "service"). by creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms and to the practices described in our privacy policy. if you do not agree, do not use the service.
1. the service
applyied helps you track job applications: statuses, timelines, seasons, analytics, and related tools such as job posting link autofill and bring-your-own-key resume review. the service is provided for informational and organizational purposes only. it is not career counseling, recruiting, employment, legal, or other professional advice; we are not an employment agency and have no relationship with the employers you track. nothing in the service guarantees interviews, offers, responses, or any particular outcome with any employer, and no fiduciary, agency, or employment relationship is created between you and applyied.
2. eligibility and minors
you must be at least 13 years old to use the service.
if you are under the age of majority where you live (18 in most u.s. states), you may use the service only if a parent or legal guardian reviews and agrees to these terms on your behalf and supervises your use.
if you are in the european economic area or the united kingdom, you must meet the minimum age of digital consent in your country (between 13 and 16).
by using the service, you represent that you meet these requirements, that the information you provide is accurate, and that you have not previously been suspended or removed from the service.
3. accounts and security
you are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your login credentials confidential and secure.
you are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you.
you may not share, sell, or transfer your account, or use another person's account without permission.
notify us promptly at team@applyied.com if you believe your account has been compromised. we are not liable for losses arising from unauthorized use that occurs before we receive your notice and have a reasonable opportunity to act.
4. your content
you retain ownership of everything you enter into the service, applications, notes, resumes, job descriptions, and other content ("your content"). you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display your content solely to operate, secure, and improve the service for you, as described in the privacy policy. this license ends when your content is deleted from the service, except for copies we must retain for legal, security, or backup purposes for a limited period.
you are solely responsible for your content. you represent that you have the rights to submit it and that it does not violate any law or third-party right, including privacy, publicity, and intellectual-property rights of others (for example, do not paste content you are under an nda about, or another person's resume without their permission).
5. ai features and bring-your-own api keys
certain features run on an api key you supply for a third-party ai provider (such as anthropic, openai, google, or groq). the key, all usage and charges billed to it, and your compliance with the provider's own terms of service and acceptable-use policies are solely your responsibility.
requests made with your key go directly from your browser to the provider. applyied does not receive, store, proxy, or log your key or the content you submit with it, and we are not a party to your agreement with the provider.
ai-generated output, including resume scores, category grades, suggestions, and parsed fields, is probabilistic output from a model. it can be wrong, incomplete, biased, or inconsistent between runs, and identical inputs may produce different results. it is informational guidance only, not professional career advice, and you use it at your own risk. verify it before relying on it or making decisions based on it.
we are not responsible for provider availability, pricing, rate limits, content handling, model behavior, or changes to provider apis; for charges incurred on your key for any reason; or for consequences of a key being exposed from your device or browser. use a dedicated, spend-limited key and revoke it from the provider's console if you suspect exposure.
6. job posting link autofill
when you paste a job posting link and ask us to fill the form, you direct us to request that one page on your behalf. we request only the page you pasted, only when you ask, and only over https. we do not crawl, index, mirror, or follow links off it, and we do not fetch anything you did not submit.
you are responsible for the links you submit. submit only links to pages you are permitted to access and to view. do not use the feature to reach content behind a login, paywall, or other access control, to reach private, internal, or non-public systems, to bulk-fetch or scrape a third-party site, or in any way that violates a site's terms, its robots directives, or applicable law.
the service does not authenticate, send credentials or cookies, or attempt to defeat any access control, and it refuses requests to private, internal, loopback, and link-local network addresses. this is a safeguard, not a substitute for your obligation in the bullet above.
we extract a small number of factual data points about the job, such as the employer, the role title, the location, and any team named in the title. we do not copy, store, republish, or redistribute the posting itself, and we discard the page once those fields are read. anything you choose to paste into your own notes is your content and is governed by section 4.
autofilled fields are a best-effort reading of what a page published. they can be wrong, incomplete, stale, or misattributed, sites change their markup and postings expire. they are informational only. verify every field before you save it or rely on it, and do not treat an autofilled record as evidence of having applied.
the feature is provided as-is and is best effort. we may rate limit, restrict, suspend, or remove it at any time. a site may block, throttle, or change its pages at any time, and we have no obligation to work around that and no responsibility for the result.
references to employers, job boards, and postings are for your own record keeping. they do not imply affiliation with, endorsement by, or any relationship to those organizations.
7. acceptable use
you agree not to:
use the service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these terms.
attempt to access accounts, data, or systems you are not authorized to access, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the service without written permission.
scrape, harvest, or bulk-extract data from the service, or use bots or automated means to access it, except as expressly permitted.
interfere with, disrupt, overload, or degrade the service or its infrastructure, or circumvent rate limits or security measures.
use the link autofill feature to request pages you are not authorized to access, to reach private or internal network resources, or to bulk-fetch, mirror, or scrape a third-party site.
upload malicious code, or use the service to store or transmit content that is illegal, infringing, or harmful.
reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the service, except to the extent applicable law permits despite this restriction.
misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or use the service to harass or harm others.
resell, sublicense, or offer the service to third parties as a service bureau without our written consent.
we may investigate suspected violations and may throttle, suspend, or terminate access in connection with them.
8. intellectual property and feedback
the service, including its design, text, graphics, logos, and software, is owned by applyied or its licensors and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. except for your content, nothing in these terms transfers any ownership to you. we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the service for your personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these terms.
if you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or compensation, and without any obligation of confidentiality.
9. third-party services and links
the service depends on and links to third-party services, including firebase, vercel, ai providers, and external job postings. those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, we do not control them and are not responsible for their availability, content, or practices. references to employers, job boards, or companies do not imply any affiliation or endorsement.
10. changes to the service
the service is provided free of charge and evolves quickly. we may add, change, limit, or discontinue features (including ai features) at any time, with or without notice. where a change is material and practical to announce, we will make reasonable efforts to do so, but we are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the service.
11. disclaimers
the service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. we do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that data will not be lost; or that any information it provides, including ai output and analytics, is complete, accurate, or current. some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
12. limitation of liability
to the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) applyied and its founders, team, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, opportunities (including employment opportunities), goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to the service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages; (b) our total cumulative liability for all claims relating to the service will not exceed one hundred u.s. dollars ($100) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, whichever is greater; and (c) these limitations apply regardless of the theory of liability, whether contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
13. indemnification
you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless applyied and its founders and team from and against claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your content; your use or misuse of the service; your use of third-party ai providers and api keys; your violation of these terms; or your violation of any law or third-party right. we may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.
14. dispute resolution and class action waiver
informal resolution first: before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at team@applyied.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve the dispute informally.
binding arbitration: except for small-claims matters and injunctive relief for intellectual-property or security violations, any dispute arising out of these terms or the service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered in king county, washington (or remotely by agreement) under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, rather than in court.
class action waiver: disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. you waive any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, to the extent permitted by law.
you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing team@applyied.com within 30 days of first accepting these terms, with the subject "arbitration opt-out."
15. termination
you may stop using the service and delete your account at any time from the settings page. we may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these terms, create risk or legal exposure for us, or if we discontinue the service. upon termination, your license to use the service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (including sections 4, 5, 6, 8, and 11 through 18) survive termination.
16. changes to these terms
we may update these terms from time to time. when we make material changes, we will revise the "last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (such as an in-app message). changes are not retroactive. continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms; if you do not agree, stop using the service and delete your account.
17. governing law and venue
these terms are governed by the laws of the state of washington, united states, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. subject to section 14, any disputes not subject to arbitration will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in king county, washington, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
18. general
entire agreement: these terms and the privacy policy are the entire agreement between you and applyied about the service, and supersede any prior agreements.
severability: if any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in effect.
no waiver: our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
assignment: you may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
force majeure: we are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages of third-party providers.
notices: we may provide notices via the service or the email on your account; legal notices to us go to team@applyied.com.
