Terms of Service

1. Who this agreement is between

These Terms of Service are a binding agreement between you and the operator of getjobtools.com, an independent sole trader who operates GetJobTools at getjobtools.com ("we", "us", "the service"). By creating an account or using any tool on the site you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use this site, and at least 16 if you live in an EEA country that has set 16 as the age of consent for information-society services under GDPR Article 8. If you are under 18, you should have a parent or guardian's permission. You must not create an account if a previous account of yours was terminated for breaching these terms, and you may hold one account at a time.

3. The service and the plans

GetJobTools provides two kinds of tools:

Browser tools — word counter, QR code generator, image compressor, words-to-pages, essay length checker, and the pay raise, job offer comparison and notice period calculators. These run in your browser, need no account, and are free with no usage limit.
AI tools — the email writer, cover letter generator, paraphrasing tool, text summarizer, interview answer generator and counter-offer email generator. These require a registered account with a verified email address, and are subject to a daily run limit and a per-minute rate limit.

Current limits are on the pricing page. Free accounts get a fixed number of AI runs per day, measured against a UTC day boundary; one press of Generate is one run, and regenerating counts again. Browser tools never count. If you add your own provider API key, your AI runs bypass our daily quota but remain subject to the per-minute rate limit and to your provider's own limits.

The service is provided on an ongoing basis with no guaranteed uptime. We may change, add or remove tools, limits, models and providers, and we may impose or adjust rate limits to keep the service available for everyone. We will not reduce a limit you have paid for during a period you have already paid for.

4. Your account

You must give an accurate email address that you control and keep your password confidential. You are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us immediately if you think someone else is using it. Accounts that never complete email verification are deleted automatically after seven days.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use GetJobTools to:

Break the law, infringe anyone's intellectual property, or violate anyone's privacy.
Produce or distribute content that is defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or that promotes violence or self-harm.
Impersonate a real person or organization, or generate a fabricated reference, testimonial, employment record, qualification, or credential. Writing your own cover letter is the point of this site; inventing someone else's endorsement is not.
Fabricate qualifications, experience or achievements in an application. The AI tools will happily write whatever you feed them; putting false information in front of an employer or university is your act, not ours, and may be fraud.
Submit work generated here as your own where an academic body or employer requires disclosure of AI assistance. See our AI use disclaimer — honoring those rules is your responsibility.
Submit personal data about other people that you have no right to share, or any special-category data (health, biometric, political or religious data) you would not want a third-party model provider to process.
Attempt to extract, reverse-engineer or circumvent our prompts, quotas, throttles or authentication, or to jailbreak the underlying model into producing content that our providers' policies forbid.
Use the AI tools to generate bulk spam, SEO doorway pages, or mass-produced content for a third party.
Scrape, crawl or automate access beyond what robots.txt allows, resell or sublicense access, or run the service as a backend for your own product.
Interfere with the site's security, load-test it without permission, or take any action that imposes an unreasonable burden on our infrastructure.

You must also comply with the acceptable-use policy of whichever AI provider processes your request, since your input passes through their systems.

6. Your content and AI output

You keep all rights to the text and files you submit. We claim no ownership of it and we do not use it to train any model. You grant us only the narrow, temporary licence we need to run the service: to transmit your input to the AI provider, return the result to you, and store it if you have History enabled.

As between you and us, the output is yours. You may use it for any lawful purpose, commercial included. Two honest caveats: AI output is generated statistically, so identical or near-identical text may be produced for someone else, and copyright in purely machine-generated text is unsettled in the US, UK, Canada and Australia — we cannot promise you an enforceable copyright in it. You are responsible for checking that the output does not infringe anyone else's rights before you publish or submit it.

You are responsible for verifying every factual claim in anything you send to an employer or an institution. Models invent details.

7. Bringing your own API key

You may store an API key from a supported provider. If you do:

The key is encrypted at rest and used only to sign your own requests.
You pay that provider directly. Every token your requests consume is billed to your provider account, and we have no control over, visibility into, or liability for those charges. Set a spending cap with your provider if that matters to you.
You must comply with that provider's terms of service and usage policies; the request is made under your account, not ours.
You are responsible for keeping the key valid and for revoking it at the provider if you believe it has been compromised. Deleting it here removes our copy; it does not revoke the key.

8. Payments, renewals, refunds and cancellation

Paid plans are not yet available. The Pro tier described on the pricing page is currently a waitlist: no payment method is connected, nothing is charged, and no card details are collected anywhere on this site. The terms in this section will apply from the day Pro goes on sale, and we will publish the payment processor's identity and update the effective date of these terms before that happens.

When paid plans launch, the following will apply:

Prices are shown in US dollars and exclude any sales tax, VAT or GST, which is added at checkout where the law requires it.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your account; cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep Pro access until the end of the period you already paid for.
Refunds: we refund a first purchase in full within 14 days if you ask. After that, we do not refund part-used periods, except where consumer law requires it.
EU/EEA and UK consumers: you have a statutory 14-day right to cancel a distance contract. Because the service is supplied digitally and immediately, by starting to use a paid feature you ask us to begin supply during the cancellation period and acknowledge that you lose the right to cancel once the service has been fully supplied (Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU; Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 in the UK). Our 14-day refund promise above is more generous than the statutory minimum in most cases and applies regardless.
Payment is processed by a third-party payment processor. We never receive or store full card numbers.
If a payment fails we may suspend Pro features until it succeeds; your data is not deleted for non-payment.
We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice to existing subscribers, and the new price applies from your next renewal.

9. Advertising

The free tier is paid for by advertising supplied by Google AdSense. By using the free tier you accept that ads are shown alongside the tools, and that Google may set cookies as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not endorse advertised products, and any dealing you have with an advertiser is between you and them. Do not attempt to click, or encourage others to click, ads artificially — doing so breaches Google's policies and we will terminate accounts that do it.

10. Disclaimers

The AI tools produce drafts, not answers. Large language models invent facts, misstate dates and figures, and write in a generic voice. Output may be inaccurate, outdated, biased, offensive or simply wrong, and no human reviews it before you see it. Read the AI use disclaimer — it is part of these terms.

Nothing on this site is professional advice. The calculators, the generated text and the blog are general information for job seekers and students. They are not legal, immigration, tax, financial, employment, medical or career advice, and using them creates no professional relationship of any kind. Notice periods, pay, tax and employment rights differ by country, state and contract — check your own contract and, where it matters, a qualified professional. The calculators are estimates and may not reflect your circumstances.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to §11, the service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will get you an interview, a job, a raise or a grade.

11. Limitation of liability — and what we cannot limit

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to exclude.

United Kingdom: if you are a consumer, you have statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 — including that a digital service must be supplied with reasonable care and skill — and nothing here affects them. Our liability for a breach is not excluded where the Act forbids exclusion.
Australia: our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)), including guarantees that services are rendered with due care and skill and are reasonably fit for purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies those guarantees. Where we are permitted to limit liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited, at our option, to resupplying the service or paying the cost of having it resupplied.
Canada: if you are a consumer in Quebec, the Consumer Protection Act (CQLR c P-40.1) applies and its protections are not excluded by these terms; nor are any other mandatory consumer protections in your province.
EEA: mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country of residence apply regardless of these terms.
United States: some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so parts of §10 and this section may not apply to you.

Subject to all of the above: we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for lost profits, lost opportunities, lost job offers, missed deadlines, lost or corrupted data, or reputational harm — including anything arising from relying on AI output, or from a failure, outage, price change or content policy of a third-party AI provider. Our total aggregate liability for all claims in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of the amount you actually paid us in that period or US$50.

12. Your responsibility to us

If someone brings a claim against us because of content you submitted or produced here — for example an employer or institution claiming a document you sent was fraudulent, or a rights holder claiming infringement — you agree to cover the reasonable costs we incur defending it, to the extent the claim arises from your breach of these terms. This does not apply where the law prevents it, and it does not apply to consumers to the extent mandatory consumer law says otherwise.

13. Our intellectual property

The site's name, logo, design, copy, code, calculator logic and prompts are ours and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may link to any page and quote reasonable extracts with attribution. You may not copy the site wholesale, clone its tools, or use our name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse you.

14. Suspension and termination

You may delete your account at any time from your profile page; deletion is immediate and irreversible and removes your history, quota records and stored API keys. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, abuses the service, or exposes us to legal risk — normally with notice and a chance to fix it, immediately where the breach is serious or unlawful. If we terminate your account without cause while you are on a paid plan, we refund the unused part of the period. Sections 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 survive termination.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. For material changes we will update the effective date at the top of this page and notify registered users by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the new terms; if you do not, delete your account.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the country in which the operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of the country in which the operator is established have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your own local courts. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform. There is no class-action waiver and no forced arbitration in these terms.

Please come to us first: most problems are a misunderstanding or a bug, and we would rather fix it than argue about it.

17. The rest

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the AI use disclaimer, are the entire agreement between us about the service. If a court finds any part unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our not enforcing a term on one occasion is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; we may transfer ours if the site is sold, provided your rights are not reduced. There are no third-party beneficiaries.
