FlintApply — Legal

Terms of Service

Last updated:

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of FlintApply (the "Service"), provided by The Flint AI (Alireza Barzin Zanganeh) ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance & Account

You must be at least 16 years old to register. You agree to provide accurate registration information and to keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for any activity under your account.

2. License Grant

FlintApply grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business resume / cover letter / job-search workflow, consistent with these Terms and the Business Source License 1.1 under which the source code is published. See the project LICENSE file for parameters and the Change Date that converts the source license to Apache 2.0.

3. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to generate misleading résumés that misrepresent your background, qualifications, or work history.
  • Reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract platform data outside the documented APIs.
  • Resell or commercialize Service output beyond the license grant without a separate commercial agreement (see COMMERCIAL.md).
  • Upload malicious content, content that infringes a third party's rights, or content that violates applicable law.
  • Probe, scan, disrupt, or test the vulnerability of the Service or any related infrastructure without written permission.

4. Subscriptions, Credits & Payment

Paid plans are billed by Stripe under the cycle and price disclosed at checkout. Refunds are governed by our policy:

  • Self-service full refund within 24 hours of the first paid charge.
  • Self-service full refund within 7 days when no usage occurred during the period.
  • Beyond those windows, refund requests are reviewed by our team and subject to super-admin approval.

Cancellation, pause, downgrade, and upgrade behaviour is documented in our pricing page and matches the contract referenced in our system design (§19.8). Pause is available on Monthly + Yearly plans only, for up to 90 days.

5. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of content you upload (master résumé, attachments, notes). FlintApply retains ownership of the Service, the user interface, the platform code, and the model orchestration layer. Output generated for your account is yours to use; the underlying prompt & retrieval pipelines remain ours.

6. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time via Settings → Close Account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms, abuse the Service, or fail payment obligations. On termination we honour the data retention & deletion windows in the Privacy Policy.

7. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is". AI-generated résumé and cover-letter drafts may contain inaccuracies; you are responsible for reviewing every word before sending it to a recruiter or applicant tracking system.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FlintApply's aggregate liability for any claim arising from these Terms is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.

10. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-product and via email at least 30 days before they take effect, in line with §19.9 of our system design.
