Clarity Edit — Terms of Service

1. Eligibility and Accounts

• You must be at least 16 years old to use the Services and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
• To use most features you must create an account (via email/password or Google sign-in). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@clarity-edit.io of any unauthorized use.

2. Description of the Services

Clarity Edit helps job seekers by:

• Analyzing resumes (including ATS-compatibility analysis and scoring against a job description);
• Generating tailored, AI-assisted cover letters;
• Detecting job descriptions on supported job sites (LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse) and letting you send selected text from any page to the app via a right-click menu;
• Researching prospective employers; and
• Storing and managing your job-application documents, personas, and saved jobs.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. The Extension is provided through the Google Chrome Web Store and is also subject to Google's applicable terms and policies.

3. The Browser Extension

• Installation and permissions. The Extension requests only the browser permissions needed to deliver its features, as described in the Privacy Policy. By installing it, you authorize it to operate as described there.
• Supported sites. The Extension's automatic job detection runs only on supported job sites. The right-click "Add to Clarity Edit" action captures only the text you have selected and only when you invoke it.
• Third-party sites. Job sites such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and Greenhouse are independent services with their own terms. You are responsible for complying with those sites' terms, and Clarity Edit is not responsible for their content, availability, or conduct. You must not use the Extension in a way that violates a third-party site's terms of use.
• No scraping-as-a-service. You may use the Extension only for your own personal job search. You may not use it to harvest, resell, or redistribute third-party data at scale.

4. Your Content

• Ownership. You retain ownership of the content you submit — resumes, documents, job descriptions, notes, personas, and generated cover letters ("User Content").
• License to operate the Services. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display your User Content solely to provide and improve the Services for you, including sending it to our AI and other sub-processors as described in the Privacy Policy.
• Model training. We do not use your resume or personal User Content to train third-party foundation models, and we contractually restrict our AI providers from training their models on your content. Any use of aggregated, de-identified data to improve the Services will not identify you.
• Your warranties. You represent that you own or have the right to submit your User Content, that it does not infringe others' rights or violate law, and that it is not malicious.

5. AI-Generated Content and Accuracy Disclaimer

The Services use artificial intelligence (including Amazon Bedrock) to generate cover letters, analysis, and research summaries. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated content is a starting draft that you must review and edit before use.
• AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate, and may "hallucinate" facts. We do not warrant its accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose.
• You are solely responsible for the accuracy, truthfulness, and lawfulness of anything you submit to an employer, including any cover letter, resume, or application materials derived from the Services. You must not submit false, misleading, or fraudulent statements in a job application. Misrepresenting your qualifications is your responsibility, not ours.
• Company-research output is informational only and may be incomplete or wrong; verify it independently before relying on it.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Violate any law or regulation, or infringe anyone's rights;
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information;
• Use the Services or the Extension in violation of a third-party site's terms;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to, disrupt, or overload the Services or their systems;
• Use bots, scrapers, or automated means to access the Services except as expressly permitted;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Services without our written consent; or
• Upload malicious code or content.

We may investigate and take action, including suspension or termination, for violations.

7. Subscriptions, Billing, and Refunds

• Some features require a paid subscription. Pricing and plan details are presented at purchase.
• Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor (Stripe). By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method until you cancel.
• Auto-renewal. Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date through your account settings or the billing portal.
• Cancellation. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until then.
• Refunds. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated.
• Price changes. We may change pricing with reasonable advance notice; changes apply to the next billing period.

8. Intellectual Property

The Services, including their software, design, and content (excluding your User Content), are owned by Clarity Edit and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services per these Terms. Our names, logos, and trademarks may not be used without our prior written consent.

9. Third-Party Services

The Services rely on third parties (including AWS, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Cognito, Google sign-in, and our payment processor) and integrate with third-party job sites. We are not responsible for third-party services or sites, and your use of them may be governed by their own terms.

10. Privacy

Your use of the Services is governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what we collect and how we use, share, retain, and protect it — including the Extension-specific disclosures and our Chrome Web Store Limited Use commitments.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that results (including AI output) will be accurate or reliable, or that using the Services will result in interviews, job offers, or employment.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLARITY EDIT AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR FAILURE TO OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD 100 (ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Clarity Edit and its affiliates from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right (including a job site's terms).

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or that we reasonably believe is harmful. You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time through account settings. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases, and we may delete your account and User Content, subject to the retention terms in the Privacy Policy. Provisions that by their nature should survive (e.g., ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) will survive.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at support@clarity-edit.io and attempt to resolve the dispute informally in good faith for at least 30 days. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, you and Clarity Edit agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, USA, and you and Clarity Edit consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms. We will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date and, for material changes, provide additional notice as required. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

17. Miscellaneous

• Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Clarity Edit regarding the Services.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
