Terms of Service

Last updated: [INSERT DATE BEFORE LAUNCH] · Effective: [INSERT DATE]

Summary: Use Nudge honestly for your own career. Don't abuse the service or misuse the AI. We provide the tools on an "as is" basis — they are not professional career or financial advice, and do not guarantee employment outcomes. The interview coach is for practice only, not for use during live interviews. You can cancel any time. We offer a 14-day refund on annual plans if the product does not work as described.

1. Acceptance of terms

By creating an account or using Nudge ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These terms form a binding legal agreement between you and Nudge ("Nudge", "we", "us"), the operator of nudge.careers.

2. The service

Nudge provides AI-powered career tools including resume review, resume rewriting, job match scoring, cover letter generation, interview coaching, and application tracking. The Service is provided through our website and associated APIs.

We use Anthropic's Claude AI to power these tools. The quality of output depends on the quality of your inputs and is not guaranteed. AI-generated content should always be reviewed before use.

2a. AI content and professional advice disclaimer

Nudge uses artificial intelligence to generate career-related content including resume analysis, rewritten resumes, cover letters, salary estimates, interview coaching, LinkedIn rewrites, and career action plans. This content is:

Salary estimates are based on historical training data and may not reflect current market conditions. Always verify salary figures with current sources (Glassdoor, LinkedIn Salary, industry surveys) before negotiating.

For professional career advice, please consult a qualified career coach, recruiter, or employment advisor.

2b. Interview coach — acceptable use

Nudge's AI interview coach is designed for practice and preparation only. It must not be used:

Using AI assistance during a live interview without disclosure may violate employer policies and professional ethics standards. Nudge accepts no liability for consequences arising from misuse of the interview coach feature.

6. Intellectual property

The Nudge brand, logo, website design, and software are owned by Nudge and protected by intellectual property laws.

You own the content you input (your resume, cover letters, etc.). You grant us a limited licence to process this content solely to provide the Service to you.

AI-generated output (rewritten resumes, cover letters, interview questions) is provided to you for your personal use. We make no claim of ownership over content generated for you.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:

Career outcomes depend on many factors outside our control. Nudge is a tool to help you — not a guarantee of results.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NUDGE, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF NUDGE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising from or related to these terms or your use of the Service shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid Nudge in the 12 months immediately preceding the claim, or (b) $100 USD.

CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

The limitations above reflect a fair allocation of risk between you and Nudge, and Nudge would not provide the Service without these limitations.

9. Talent marketplace

Candidate participation: By opting in to the marketplace, you grant Nudge a limited, non-exclusive licence to display your anonymised assessment summary (tier, target role, keywords — not your resume) to verified recruiters. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

Recruiter access: Recruiters may search and view anonymised candidate profiles. To unlock a candidate's full contact details, the recruiter must use a paid unlock credit, and the candidate's name and email are then shared with that recruiter only. Recruiters agree to use candidate data solely for legitimate recruitment purposes.

Recruiter obligations: Recruiters must not: spam, harass or repeatedly contact candidates who have not responded; share candidate data with third parties; use candidate data for advertising or non-recruitment purposes; or misrepresent their identity or role.

No guarantee: Nudge does not guarantee that participation in the marketplace will result in job interviews, offers, or employment for candidates, or successful placements for recruiters.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Nudge, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Service or violation of these terms.

11. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time from your account settings.

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you violate these terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or if we are required to do so by law. We will provide notice where reasonably practicable.

12. Changes to terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or prominent notice in the app at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California. If you are outside the United States, local consumer protection laws may also apply — contact legal@nudge.careers with any questions.
