Terms of Use

These Terms form a binding legal agreement between you and Alynd, the operator of the career portfolio and CV platform at alynd.net (the Service). References to we, us, and our mean Alynd. References to you and your mean the individual accepting these Terms and using the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms, and references to you include that organisation.

Service means the Alynd web application and related features accessible at alynd.net.

Account means a registered user account on the Service.

Content means career data, uploaded files, CV documents, prompts, job descriptions, transcripts, and other material you create, upload, or submit within the Service.

Nexus means the career-record area where you maintain profile, work, education, professional records, skills, labels, and attachments.

Studio means the CV authoring area where you create versioned CV documents from selected Nexus material.

AI Features means Lyra (the AI assistant), Interview Coach (live interview assistance), and the CV import parser, each as described on the AI data use page.

Subscription means a paid plan that grants access to additional features, limits, and monthly AI credits as shown at checkout and on the pricing page.

AI credits means the usage allowance for AI Features on your plan, consumed when you run Lyra, Interview Coach, CV import, or other metered AI workflows.

You must be at least 16 years old to create an Account. By registering, you confirm that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, for all activity under your Account, and for notifying us promptly at info@alynd.net if you suspect unauthorised access. We are not liable for losses arising from your failure to keep your credentials secure or from misuse of an Account you have not secured.

You may maintain one Account per individual unless we agree otherwise in writing. You must not share login credentials or allow others to use your Account.

Alynd helps you maintain a structured career record and produce tailored application materials from that record. In summary:

• Nexus — store and edit profile, work history, education, professional records, skills, labels, and file attachments.
• Studio — create multiple CV documents from selected Nexus content, with CV-specific wording, structure, design, and PDF export.
• Lyra — AI-assisted drafting, review, labelling, and job-fit suggestions scoped to Nexus, Studio, or general career tasks, subject to your plan and available AI credits.
• Interview Coach — live interview assistance using job context, an attached CV, typed or transcribed questions, optional meeting-tab capture, and structured answer support.
• CV import — upload PDF, DOC, or DOCX files so Alynd can propose draft records for your review before anything is saved.

The Service is a productivity and drafting tool. It does not guarantee employment outcomes, recruiter responses, interview success, or the legal or regulatory compliance of materials you create. You must review all imported and AI-generated content before relying on it or submitting it to any third party.

Some features are limited by Subscription tier, AI credits, storage quotas, or technical dependencies on third-party providers. We may add, modify, or withdraw features; where a change materially reduces core functionality for paying subscribers, we will provide reasonable advance notice.

We offer a free tier and paid Subscriptions (for example Starter and Professional). Plan names, prices, billing intervals, feature limits, and AI credit allowances are described at alynd.net/pricing and in your Account billing area. Limits may include, without limitation, the number of saved Studio CVs, PDF exports per month, storage space, and monthly AI credits.

If you use the free tier, AI Features that require credits may be unavailable or restricted until you upgrade. When a paid Subscription ends or payment fails beyond any grace period we provide, your Account may revert to free-tier limits; we do not delete your Content solely because a Subscription lapses, but features or exports may become unavailable until you resubscribe or remain within free-tier limits.

Promotional or trial access, if offered, will be described at the point of offer. When a trial ends, continued use of paid features requires an active paid Subscription unless we state otherwise.

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. The following is prohibited:

• Fabricating or misrepresenting credentials, employers, qualifications, references, dates, compensation, eligibility, or any other factual claim in your Content or CV documents.
• Using AI Features to invent experience, metrics, certifications, or references you cannot substantiate, or to mislead employers, recruiters, regulators, or other third parties.
• Uploading or submitting Content that infringes third-party intellectual property or privacy rights, is defamatory, harassing, or otherwise unlawful.
• Processing personal data about other individuals without a lawful basis and, where required, their consent.
• Attempting unauthorised access to the Service, other Accounts, or our infrastructure.
• Reverse engineering, decompiling, or extracting source code from the Service except where applicable law expressly permits it.
• Scraping, crawling, or bulk-extracting data from the Service using automated means without our prior written consent.
• Interfering with the integrity, performance, or security of the Service, including introducing malware or abusive traffic.
• Impersonating any person or misrepresenting your affiliation.
• Reselling, sublicensing, or making the Service available to third parties as a service bureau without our written consent.
• Circumventing usage limits, AI credit metering, or access controls.
• Using the Service in violation of applicable law, professional conduct rules, or employer policies that bind you.

Interview Coach is intended to support you during live interviews with truthful, verifiable answers. You must not use it to deceive interviewers, conceal material facts you are required to disclose, or present AI-generated statements as facts you cannot defend.

You own your Content. As between you and Alynd, you retain all rights in Content you create or upload. We do not claim ownership of your career records, CV documents, or files.

To operate the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, back up, process, transform, display, and transmit your Content only as necessary to provide the features you use — including sending relevant excerpts to AI and speech processors when you invoke AI Features, storing files in secure cloud storage, and generating exports you request.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, lawfulness, and appropriateness of your Content. We do not independently verify factual claims in your records or CVs. You must review imported and AI-proposed changes before saving them.

We do not use your Content to train proprietary machine-learning models. Aggregated or de-identified usage statistics that cannot reasonably identify you may be used to understand product performance and reliability.

You can access and edit most Content directly in Nexus and Studio at any time. You can download individual CVs as PDFs from Studio.

For a structured export of Account data, go to Settings → Security → Export data. The export includes profile information, career records, CV documents, labels, and related settings in JSON form. Uploaded files are listed by filename in the export; the binary files themselves are not included in that download. See the Data Controls page for more detail.

We recommend exporting your data before deleting your Account or before any planned cancellation if you need an offline copy.

AI Features produce drafts, suggestions, extractions, and structured answers based on Content and instructions you provide. Output may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. It is not a verified statement of fact.

Except where a feature explicitly auto-saves with your confirmation, AI output is presented for review. You are responsible for verifying dates, employers, titles, qualifications, metrics, links, and eligibility claims before saving Content or sending materials to third parties.

AI Features consume AI credits according to your plan. Credit balances, resets, and metering are shown in the product. We may adjust credit economics or feature metering with reasonable notice where required for sustainability or compliance.

When you use Interview Coach with meeting capture or tab audio, you are responsible for complying with applicable recording, privacy, and employment laws, including obtaining any consent required before capturing others' voices or sharing a meeting tab.

The Service relies on third-party infrastructure and processors, including payment, hosting, storage, email, AI, and speech-to-text providers. Their availability and performance may affect the Service. We are not responsible for outages or acts of third parties outside our reasonable control.

When you use AI Features, relevant Content is transmitted to third-party AI and speech-to-text providers as described on our AI data use page. Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.

Links to third-party websites in your Content or job URLs you paste are your responsibility. We do not endorse and are not liable for third-party sites, employers, or application processes.

Paid features require an active Subscription. Prices, billing cycles, and included limits are shown at checkout and on the pricing page. Subscriptions renew automatically for the selected period unless you cancel before the renewal date through the billing controls in your Account or the payment processor's customer portal where provided.

Payment is processed by a third-party payment processor. By subscribing, you authorise recurring charges to your nominated payment method until cancellation. If a payment fails, we may retry charges, restrict access to paid features after any grace period shown in the product, or suspend AI Features until payment succeeds.

We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice before they apply to your next renewal. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new price. You may cancel before renewal to avoid the increase.

Refunds are granted at our discretion except where mandatory consumer law requires otherwise. Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer where applicable.

When you delete your Account, recurring billing for that Account is cancelled as part of deletion. Charges that already cleared may still appear on your statement. See Termination below and our Data Controls page for data handling on deletion.

All software, design, branding, documentation, and other materials forming part of the Service — excluding your Content — are owned by or licensed to Alynd. These Terms do not transfer any of our intellectual property rights to you.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your personal career management during the term of these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service except as permitted by law or with our prior written consent.

We aim to provide reliable access but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. The Service may be unavailable during maintenance, security incidents, third-party outages, or events outside our reasonable control.

We may suspend or restrict access where necessary to protect users, investigate suspected misuse, comply with law, or secure the Service. Where practicable, we will notify you and give you an opportunity to remedy a breach before terminating for non-payment or acceptable-use violations.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Alynd and its operators from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your Content, your misuse of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party rights — including claims by employers, recruiters, or other parties relating to materials you submit using the Service.

The Service is provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Without limiting the foregoing, we are not liable for: employment or admissions decisions by third parties; consequences of submitting unverified or inaccurate Content; loss of data where you have not exported backups; AI output you choose to apply; or indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising under or in connection with these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid us in the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) £100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability where exclusion would be unlawful.

By you. You may delete your Account at any time from Settings → Security → Delete account. Deletion is permanent. Export your data first if you need a copy. Deletion ends recurring billing for that Account when processing completes.

By us. We may suspend or terminate your Account immediately if you materially breach these Terms, if payment remains unresolved after any grace period, if we must do so by law, or if continued access would create security or legal risk. Where reasonable, we will notify you and allow a remedy period before termination for curable breaches.

On termination, your right to access the Service ends. We handle retention and deletion of personal data as described in our Privacy Policy and Data Controls page.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — continue to apply.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, subject to mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence that cannot be waived by agreement.

If you are a consumer in the European Union or United Kingdom, you may also have rights under local law that prevail over conflicting terms in this agreement where those rights cannot be contracted away.

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will notify you by email at least 14 days before they take effect and update the Last updated date on this page. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your Account before the effective date.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any policies referenced here, constitute the entire agreement between you and Alynd regarding the Service.

Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign our rights in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice where required by law.

Notices. We may send notices to the email address associated with your Account. You may contact us at the addresses below.
