Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, uploading your CV, or otherwise using VectorMatch (the “Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Platform.

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you (“you”, “User”) and VectorMatch (“we”, “us”). If you are using the Platform on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

2. What VectorMatch Is

VectorMatch is an AI-powered job-matching service for web developers. It analyzes your CV, extracts your technical skills and experience, generates semantic embeddings, and matches you against job postings sourced from public Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and remote-first job boards. The Platform also generates personalized cold-outreach email templates to help you pitch directly to hiring managers.

3. User-Driven Job Intelligence Tool

VectorMatch operates as a user-driven automated agent. This means:

• The Platform acts on your behalf when reading publicly accessible job data from ATS platforms, job boards, and company career pages. You authorize the Platform to access this public data for the purpose of finding matches for your profile.
• The Platform reads only publicly visible data — job postings that are accessible without authentication on the source platforms. We do not access private, gated, or login-protected content.
• You acknowledge that the Platform has no affiliation with the third-party ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, etc.) or job boards (Himalayas, NoFluffJobs, RemoteOK, Remotive, WeWorkRemotely, Arbeitnow) it reads from. We do not represent them, and they do not endorse us.
• You are solely responsible for any outreach you send using the Platform’s pitch generation tools. The Platform drafts templates; you decide whether to send them.

4. Accounts & Authentication

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

We offer authentication via email/password and OAuth (Google, GitHub). You may close your account at any time by contacting us. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Upload a CV that contains false, misleading, or fraudulent information about your experience or qualifications
• Use the Platform to scrape, harvest, or redistribute job postings for commercial purposes beyond your personal job search
• Send unsolicited mass emails or spam using the pitch generation tools
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise extract the Platform’s source code, algorithms, or proprietary data
• Use automated scripts, bots, or crawlers to access the Platform outside of the provided interface
• Use the Platform in any way that violates applicable laws, including employment discrimination laws, data protection laws, or anti-spam regulations
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with a company or organization

6. CV Accuracy & User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of the information in the CV you upload. The Platform extracts and structures data from your CV using AI, but it does not verify the accuracy of your claims.

You acknowledge that:

• Any pitch email generated by the Platform is based on the information you provided. If that information is inaccurate, the pitch will be inaccurate.
• Employers may verify the claims in your CV independently. You are responsible for any consequences of misrepresentation.
• The Platform’s AI may occasionally misinterpret or misclassify information from your CV. You should review your extracted profile in the dashboard and correct any errors before relying on match results.

7. Public Data Disclaimer

All job postings matched and displayed by the Platform are derived from publicly visible employer data feeds on third-party ATS platforms and job boards. We formally declare:

• We make no guarantee of uninterrupted access to any third-party platform. ATS platforms may change their APIs, rate limits, or data structures at any time without notice.
• We have no affiliation with any ATS platform, job board, or employer whose data appears on the Platform.
• Job postings may be stale, expired, or removed by the time you view them. We display the last seen date and mark stale postings, but we cannot guarantee that a posting is still active.
• Job descriptions, requirements, and compensation details are provided by the employer and may contain errors. We do not verify or endorse the accuracy of third-party job content.
• The Platform may cease to source from a particular ATS or job board if that platform blocks access, changes its terms, or becomes unavailable. This does not constitute a breach of these Terms.

8. Outbound Pitches & Communications

The Platform generates personalized cold-outreach email templates (“Minute Zero pitches”) based on your profile and the matched job. You are solely responsible for:

• Deciding whether to send a pitch and to whom
• The accuracy of any claims made in the pitch (which are derived from your CV)
• Compliance with anti-spam laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, ePrivacy Directive) applicable to your outreach
• Any consequences of contacting a third party, including being blocked, ignored, or reported

The Platform does not send emails on your behalf. It generates drafts that you review and send through your own email client.

9. B2B Compliance Resources

The Platform provides B2B compliance resources, including guidance on W-8BEN forms, independent contractor arrangements, and international payment methods. These resources are informational only and do not constitute legal, tax, or accounting advice.

You should consult a qualified professional before entering into any contractor or employment arrangement. We are not responsible for any tax liabilities, legal disputes, or compliance failures arising from your use of these resources.

10.2 Your Content

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VectorMatch shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Platform.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising from these Terms shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or €100 if you have not paid us anything (e.g., during the free tier).

This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (e.g., gross negligence, willful misconduct, or mandatory consumer protection provisions).

14. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. Upon termination, we will delete your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy retention schedule.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without cause, including if you violate these Terms. Upon termination, all licenses granted to you under these Terms cease immediately.

15. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the European Union and the jurisdiction in which VectorMatch is established. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved in the competent courts of that jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protection law requires otherwise.

Before initiating litigation, we encourage both parties to attempt good-faith resolution through direct communication. You may also use an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedure where available.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or in-app notification at least 14 days before they take effect. If you continue using the Platform after the effective date, you are deemed to have accepted the updated Terms.

If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you may terminate your account as described in Section 14.
