1. The agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and Breaking Dawn Tech, LLC (doing business as BDT) ("Job Planter", "we", "us") for using the Job Planter web app, the Chrome extension and related services (the "service"). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer law where you live that can't be waived by contract.

2. Your account

• You must be at least 18 to use Job Planter.
• Give an email address you control, and keep it up to date. We send security and billing notices there.
• Keep your sign-in methods (password, passkeys, authenticator app, Google account) secure, and don't share your account. You're responsible for what happens under it. Tell us right away at adrian@breakingdawntech.com if you think someone else has access.
• One person per account. Accounts are personal and can't be transferred.

3. Encryption and lost keys

Job Planter encrypts your data on your devices, and only your devices hold the keys. We designed it so that we can't read your data. The consequence is important, so please read this section carefully:

• Your data can be unlocked only with a passkey you set up for it, or approval from a device where you're already signed in. Until you add a passkey, the device you set up on may be the only way in.
• If you lose all of them, your data can't be recovered by anyone, including us. Resetting your password gets you back into your account, not into your data. Your account and subscription continue, and you can start again with empty data.
• It's your responsibility to keep at least one working way to unlock your data, and we recommend adding a second passkey and exporting your data from time to time.
• We aren't responsible for data lost because you no longer have a way to unlock it. Our support team can't see or restore your data.

4. Your content

Everything you put into Job Planter, such as resumes, answers, notes and saved jobs ("your content"), stays yours. You give us permission to store, sync and transmit it in encrypted form, and to process the parts you send to a feature while it runs (for example, the text of a resume you ask us to tailor). We use this permission only to provide the service to you.

You're responsible for your content and for having the right to use it. Don't upload anything unlawful, and don't include other people's personal information unless you're allowed to, such as references who have agreed.

5. AI features

• Resume tailoring, cover letters, job matching, job summaries and resume import use AI models. Their output can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, including about a company or a job's requirements.
• Review everything before you use it. You decide what goes into your resume and applications, and you're responsible for making sure it's true. Don't use Job Planter to claim experience, skills or qualifications you don't have.
• Match scores and summaries are estimates to help you decide. They're not advice, and they don't predict how an employer will decide.
• We don't guarantee that using Job Planter will get you interviews, offers or a job.
• Plans include an allowance of AI tasks. We may limit use that goes well beyond normal personal use, or that threatens the service's stability or cost.

6. Job applications and other sites

• The extension fills application forms from your answers. It never submits an application. You review each form and submit it yourself, and you're responsible for what it says.
• Answers with legal weight, such as your work authorization, visa sponsorship, criminal history, demographic questions and certifications that information is true, are filled only from answers you gave. Check them each time.
• Job boards, applicant tracking systems and sites such as LinkedIn have their own terms. You're responsible for following them when you use Job Planter on their sites. We aren't affiliated with them or with any employer, and we aren't responsible for their sites, their decisions or their handling of your application.
• Job Planter is for your own job search. Don't use it to send applications in bulk without reviewing them, or on behalf of other people.

7. Acceptable use

Don't use the service to:

• break the law, or store or share unlawful material;
• deceive employers, impersonate anyone, or submit applications that aren't yours;
• gain access to other accounts or to our systems, get around plan limits or security controls, or disrupt the service (good-faith security research under our security policy is welcome);
• copy, scrape or resell the service, or use it to build a competing product;
• send malware or harmful files.

Because we can't read your content, we rely on reports. If we have good reason to believe an account breaks these rules, we may suspend or close it.

8. Plans, payment and cancellation

• Paid plans are subscriptions, billed in advance each [month or year] through Stripe. The price, what's included and the renewal date are shown before you buy.
• Your subscription renews automatically at the then-current price until you cancel. We'll remind you before an annual plan renews.
• Cancel any time in the app's billing settings. You keep your plan until the end of the period you've paid for, and you won't be charged again.
• Prices may change. We'll tell you at least 30 days before a new price applies to you, and you can cancel before it does.
• Prices include or exclude tax as shown at checkout. Stripe calculates and collects tax where it applies.
• If a payment fails, we'll try again and email you. If it still fails, your account moves to the [free plan / read-only access]. Your data isn't deleted because of a failed payment.
• Refunds: [refund policy]. If you're a consumer in the EU or UK, you can withdraw from a purchase within 14 days. Because the service starts right away, you'll be asked at checkout to agree that it starts immediately, and you'll then pay only for the part of the period you used.

9. Ending your account

• You can delete your account at any time in the app. That cancels your subscription and deletes your data as described in our privacy policy. Export anything you want to keep first: after deletion, it can't be recovered.
• We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other users or the service. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you why first and give you time to export your data.
• If we ever shut the service down, we'll give you at least 60 days' notice to export your data, and refund any prepaid time you won't be able to use.
• We may delete accounts that have been inactive for [24] months, after emailing you first.

10. Our service and software

Job Planter, its software, design and brand belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable right to use the service and the extension while your account is active and you follow these terms. We keep improving the service, so features may change. If we remove a major paid feature, we'll tell you in advance.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

11. Disclaimers

We work hard to keep Job Planter secure, available and accurate, but we provide it "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no other promises about it, including that it will be uninterrupted or error free, or that it's fit for a particular purpose. Some places don't allow these disclaimers, so they may not apply to you.

12. Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost opportunities, lost income or lost data (including data you can no longer unlock, section 3), and our total liability to you for any claim about the service is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and [US$100].

These limits don't apply to liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. If you're a consumer in the EU or UK, we're responsible for foreseeable loss caused by our breach of these terms or our failure to use reasonable care.

13. Disputes

If something goes wrong, email us at adrian@breakingdawntech.com first. Most problems can be sorted out that way, and we'll try to within 30 days.

These terms are governed by the laws of [state], USA, and disputes go to the courts of [county and state], except that either of us may bring a claim in small claims court. [Arbitration and class action waiver: to be decided with counsel.] If you're a consumer in the EU or UK, you also keep the protection of your own country's laws and can bring a claim in your local courts.

14. Changes to these terms

If we make a significant change, we'll email you and show a notice in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you don't agree, you can cancel and delete your account before then. If you keep using the service after the change takes effect, the new terms apply.

15. General

• These terms and our privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about the service.
• If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
• If we don't enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later.
• You can't transfer these terms to someone else. We may transfer them to a company that takes over the service, and we'll tell you if we do.
• We aren't responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control.
