Terms of Service

1. What the Service Does

Effortless Apply is software that helps users discover jobs, score likely matches, prepare application materials, answer application questions, and submit job applications to employers and third-party applicant tracking systems at the user's direction.

Effortless Apply is not an employer, recruiter, staffing agency, headhunter, employment agency, or law firm. We do not negotiate employment terms, verify employer decisions, or guarantee interviews, responses, offers, employment, compensation, or any other outcome.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter a binding contract.
• You must provide accurate, complete, and current account, profile, resume, credential, and application information.
• You may use the Service only for yourself and not on behalf of another person unless we expressly approve that use in writing.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You must notify us promptly at support@effortlessapply.ai if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. Authorization to Act on Your Behalf

When you enable, approve, or request application-related features, you authorize Effortless Apply and its service providers to take technical and ministerial actions on your behalf. These actions may include discovering jobs, opening application forms, creating applicant accounts where required, signing in with credentials you provide, uploading resumes, filling fields, answering questions, submitting applications, and checking confirmation emails.

Our authority is limited to the actions needed to operate the Service. We do not have authority to accept job offers, negotiate compensation, bind you to employment terms, resign from employment, make legal representations for you, or bind any employer.

4. Your Content and Application Responsibility

"User Content" means information and materials you upload, enter, approve, or make available through the Service, including resumes, work history, education, skills, preferences, saved answers, EEO responses, portal credentials, and support messages.

• You retain ownership of your User Content.
• You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, modify for formatting, and use your User Content only as needed to provide, secure, support, improve, and enforce the Service.
• You are responsible for the accuracy, legality, completeness, and appropriateness of all information submitted under your name.
• You must not provide false work history, fabricated credentials, misleading qualifications, inaccurate work authorization, or information you do not have the right to use.

5. AI Output and Automated Processing

The Service uses AI and automation to score jobs, draft or select answers, tailor materials, and fill forms. AI-generated or AI-assisted output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or phrased in a way you would not choose.

AI output is provided "as is" and is not legal, professional, career, immigration, or employment advice. You are responsible for reviewing your profile, preferences, saved answers, approvals, and any content submitted on your behalf. Employers and platforms may use AI, automation, fraud, or bot detection tools; we do not control their policies or results.

6. Third-Party Employers, ATS Platforms, and Job Boards

The Service interacts with third-party websites and systems, including employers, applicant tracking systems, job boards, email providers, payment processors, AI providers, and infrastructure providers. Those third parties are not controlled by Effortless Apply.

• Third-party platforms may change, expire, reject, block, throttle, rate-limit, or remove job postings or applications at any time.
• Some platforms restrict automation, AI assistance, credential sharing, or account creation. You are responsible for deciding where the Service should act on your behalf.
• Once application data is submitted to an employer, ATS platform, or job board, that third party controls its own copy and privacy practices.
• We are not liable for third-party availability, terms, decisions, data handling, account actions, or application outcomes.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service lawfully, truthfully, and only for genuine job-search activity. You must not:

• Use the Service to apply as another person or rent, sell, or share your identity or account.
• Misrepresent your qualifications, credentials, identity, work authorization, salary history, legal disclosures, or required application answers.
• Create multiple accounts or use automation against the Service to bypass plan limits, security controls, or abuse controls.
• Scrape, reverse engineer, decompile, interfere with, overload, or attempt unauthorized access to the Service.
• Use the Service for spam, harassment, fraud, unlawful discrimination, illegal conduct, or infringement.
• Upload malware, secrets you are not authorized to use, or content that violates another person's rights.

Our Acceptable Use Policy gives additional detail and is incorporated into these Terms.

8. Operational Safeguards and Application Limits

To protect users, employers, platform health, and deliverability, we may queue, batch, delay, throttle, cap, retry, skip, reject, or pause discovery, AI generation, form filling, email verification, or application submissions. We may impose lower limits than advertised when needed for safety, security, reliability, capacity, legal risk, third-party restrictions, or abuse prevention.

Circumventing plan limits, application caps, bot protections, security controls, or operational safeguards is prohibited.

9. Plans, Trials, Billing, and Refunds

Free application allowance

New accounts may receive a usage-based free allowance. The current free allowance is the first 15successful applications. A card may be required before automated applications begin; checkout shows any selected plan's billing timing before confirmation. Once the allowance is used, a paid plan is required to continue applying.

Paid-plan trials

When you choose a paid plan, you may be offered a card-on-file trial, currently 1 day. If you start one, your selected plan begins billing automatically at the end of the trial unless you cancel before it ends. Checkout shows the trial length, plan, and price before confirmation.

Subscriptions and payment

• Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers.
• Paid subscriptions renew automatically until canceled.
• You may cancel from Settings - Billing or the Stripe billing portal. Cancellation generally takes effect at the end of the current billing period unless a different flow is shown.
• Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or stated in our Refund and Cancellation Policy.
• Failed payment, chargeback, refund, abuse, or billing-risk events may pause or terminate paid access.

10. No Guarantee of Application Delivery or Outcomes

We do not guarantee that any job will remain available, that an application will submit successfully, that an employer will receive or review an application, that email verification will complete, or that you will receive any response, interview, offer, or employment.

Job data, scores, recommendations, salaries, locations, and status indicators are estimates or third-party information and may be incomplete or inaccurate.

11. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to all or part of the Service if we believe you violated these Terms, created legal or security risk, failed to pay, misused the Service, caused harm to us or others, or if continuing to provide the Service is impractical or unlawful.

You may close your account at any time from account settings or by contacting support. Data deletion is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

12. Intellectual Property

Effortless Apply, including its software, designs, workflows, prompts, UI, content, integrations, trademarks, and proprietary logic, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law.

These Terms do not grant you any ownership interest in the Service. You may not copy, resell, sublicense, scrape, frame, distribute, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the Service except as permitted by law or expressly authorized by us.

13. Feedback

If you send us ideas, feedback, bug reports, testimonials, or suggestions, you grant us permission to use them without restriction or compensation. We will not publish your private personal information in a testimonial without your consent.

14. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, uninterrupted operation, security, availability, and error-free performance.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Effortless Apply will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost opportunities, lost profits, lost data, reputational harm, employer actions, rejected applications, third-party platform actions, or AI output errors.

Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the three months before the claim arose or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Effortless Apply and its owners, employees, contractors, agents, and service providers from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the Service, your User Content, applications submitted under your account, misrepresentations, violation of law, violation of third-party terms, or breach of these Terms.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law rules, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, unless an exception applies. You and Effortless Apply waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in class, collective, consolidated, or representative actions.

You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days after first accepting these Terms by emailing support@effortlessapply.ai from your account email with your full name and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Small claims, intellectual-property claims, and requests for emergency injunctive relief may be brought in court where permitted.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms with a new effective date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required. Continued use of the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Miscellaneous

• These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, and any feature-specific terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
• Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction.
• Electronic notices and records satisfy any legal writing requirement to the extent permitted by law.
