JobFriend Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 16, 2025

Welcome to JobFriend! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the JobFriend web application located at jobfriend.com (the "Site"), the JobFriend browser extension (the "Extension"), and all related services, features, and content offered by JobFriend (collectively, the "Services"). JobFriend is owned and operated by Peter Souza ("we," "us," or "our").

Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, downloading the Extension, or using any part of the Services, you signify your agreement to these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms.

2. Description of Service

JobFriend is a tool designed to help users track and manage their job applications. It consists of a web application and a companion browser extension. The Services allow users to tag jobs from supported job boards, manage application progress, and, for premium users, backup and sync this data.

3. User Accounts

a. Registration:

To access certain features of the Services, you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

b. Account Security:

You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your password or account information.

c. Eligibility:

You must be at least 13 years old (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the Services.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

a. Tiers:

JobFriend offers a free tier with limited functionality (e.g., a limit on the number of tagged jobs) and a premium subscription tier ("JobFriend Pro") with enhanced features (e.g., higher tagging limit, cloud backup/sync).

b. Fees:

JobFriend Pro is offered on a subscription basis for a recurring fee. By subscribing to JobFriend Pro, you agree to pay the applicable subscription fees.

c. Payment Processing:

We use Stripe, a third-party payment processor, to handle payments. The processing of payments will be subject to Stripe's terms, conditions, and privacy policies, in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for errors by the payment processor.

d. Billing:

You authorize us (through Stripe) to charge your chosen payment method for your JobFriend Pro subscription. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly).

e. Automatic Renewal:

Your JobFriend Pro subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel it through your account settings (via the Stripe customer portal) or by contacting us before the end of the current billing period.

f. Price Changes:

We reserve the right to change our subscription fees. We will provide you with reasonable prior notice of any change in subscription fees.

g. Cancellations:

You may cancel your JobFriend Pro subscription at any time. Cancellations will take effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to Pro features until then.

h. Refunds:

Subscription fees are generally non-refundable, except as required by law or as otherwise determined by us in our sole discretion.

5. Use of the Services

a. License:

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the Services for your personal, non-commercial job tracking purposes.

b. Prohibited Conduct:

You agree not to:

  • Use the Services for any illegal purpose or in violation of any local, state, national, or international law.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Site or Extension.
  • Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based upon the Services.
  • Rent, lease, loan, resell, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise transfer the Services to any third party.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services or the data contained therein.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or its related systems or networks.
  • Use any automated system, including "robots," "spiders," or "offline readers," to access the Services in a manner that sends more request messages to our servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional browser.

6. Intellectual Property

a. Our IP:

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Services (excluding User Content, as defined below), including all associated intellectual property rights, are and will remain the exclusive property of JobFriend and its licensors.
