Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Applica ("Applica," "we," "us," or "our"), the operator of getapplica.com and app.getapplica.com (collectively, the "Platform"). By registering for an account, purchasing a plan, or using any feature of the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

If you are using the Platform on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use Applica. By using the Platform, you represent that you meet this age requirement. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that we believe belong to individuals who do not meet this requirement.

3. Your Account

To access most features of the Platform, you must register for an account using a valid email address. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
• Keep your account credentials confidential and not share them with others
• Notify us immediately at support@getapplica.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
• Take responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or are inactive for an extended period.

4. Description of Services

Applica provides the following services, subject to the plan you have purchased:

• Free Plan: Access to the Resume Analyzer (up to 5 analyses per week), Application History tracker, Interview Kanban board, and progress analytics.
• Essential Plan ($99/year): Unlimited resume analyses, Chrome Extension access, Interview Prep Guide generation, Automatic Inbox Monitoring, Networking Links, and up to 3 professional profiles.
• App Booster ($400, one-time): A done-for-you service where Applica's recruiter team submits job applications on your behalf - approximately 10 per business day over 30 business days - plus 12 months of Essential Plan access.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or service at any time with reasonable notice. We will not materially degrade a paid service during an active subscription period without offering a prorated refund.

5. App Booster Service Terms

The App Booster is a managed service with specific terms that apply in addition to these general Terms:

• Authorization: By purchasing App Booster, you expressly authorize Applica's team to submit job applications on your behalf using the resume and profile information you provide.
• Accuracy of your materials: You are responsible for ensuring that the resume, work history, and preferences you provide are accurate and truthful. Applica applies to roles based on the information you supply - we do not verify its accuracy and are not liable for applications made based on inaccurate information you provided.
• Application targets: While we target approximately 10 applications per business day, actual volume may vary based on job availability, ATS compatibility, and platform constraints. The "300+" figure is a target, not a guarantee.
• No guarantee of outcomes: Applica does not guarantee interviews, job offers, or any specific outcome from the App Booster service. Results depend on factors outside our control, including market conditions, employer decisions, and your qualifications.
• Refund policy: App Booster is non-refundable once service has commenced (i.e., once applications have begun being submitted). If service has not yet started, contact us within 48 hours of purchase for a full refund.

6. Payments and Billing

Paid plans are billed as described at the time of purchase. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees to your payment method.

• Essential Plan: Billed annually at $99/year. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
• App Booster: A one-time, non-recurring charge of $400. It does not automatically renew.
• Taxes: Prices may be subject to applicable sales taxes depending on your location.
• Failed payments: If a payment fails, we will notify you and may suspend access to paid features until payment is resolved.

To cancel your Essential subscription, you may do so at any time through your account settings. Cancellation stops future billing but does not result in a prorated refund for the current billing period.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Use the Platform to submit fraudulent, misleading, or materially inaccurate job applications
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Platform or its related systems
• Use automated scripts, bots, or other tools to scrape, crawl, or abuse the Platform beyond normal use
• Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
• Upload resumes or materials that contain malicious code or that infringe third-party intellectual property rights
• Use the Platform in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations
• Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize access to the Platform without our express written consent

Violation of these rules may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account without refund.

8. Your Content

You retain ownership of the resume content, work history, and other materials you upload to Applica ("Your Content"). By uploading Your Content, you grant Applica a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, and process Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the Platform's features to you.

We do not use your individual resume content to train AI models or sell it to third parties. Aggregated and anonymized data derived from platform usage may be used to improve our services.

You represent that you have the right to upload Your Content and that it does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.

9. Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its software, design, logos, text, and features, is owned by Applica and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Platform for its intended purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from any part of the Platform without our express written permission.

10. Third-Party Services

The Platform may integrate with or link to third-party services (such as job boards, employer ATS platforms, LinkedIn, and payment processors). These third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Applica is not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of third-party services. Your use of those services is at your own risk.

11. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, APPLICA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Platform will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that resume analyses, job match scores, or other outputs will be accurate or complete. Resume analysis and interview prep content are informational tools intended to assist - they are not professional career or legal advice.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLICA, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES - INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOSS OF DATA - ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to Applica in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Applica and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Platform in violation of these Terms; (b) Your Content; or (c) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

14. Termination

You may close your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at support@getapplica.com. Closing your account stops future billing but does not entitle you to a refund for prior charges, except as described in Section 5 (App Booster) and Section 6 (billing).

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or otherwise harmed the Platform or other users. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before termination except where immediate action is necessary.

Sections 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 15 survive termination of these Terms.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in English.

You and Applica each waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action lawsuit in connection with any dispute arising under these Terms.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through a notice on the Platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform and may close your account.
