Terms of Service

1. What Quiet Search is

Quiet Search is a personal productivity tool that automatically scans publicly available job postings at AI and SaaS companies, scores your fit against your profile, and helps you manage your job search pipeline. Quiet Search is designed for individual personal use — one user, one search.

Quiet Search is not a recruitment agency, staffing firm, or employment service. It does not guarantee job placement, interviews, or any specific outcome from your search.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a legally binding contract to use Quiet Search. By signing in, you represent that this is true.

During the private beta, access is limited to invited users. Creating accounts for other people or using Quiet Search on behalf of a company or third party is not permitted without prior written agreement.

3. Your account

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate information in your profile.
• Keep your API keys (if used) private and not share them.
• Notify us promptly at mikeyerke@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

4. Acceptable use

You agree to use Quiet Search only for lawful personal job searching. You must not:

• Use Quiet Search to collect, harvest, or store data about other people without their consent.
• Use Quiet Search to send unsolicited bulk messages or spam to recruiters or contacts.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or copy Quiet Search's proprietary scoring logic or infrastructure.
• Circumvent any rate limits, authentication measures, or access controls.
• Use Quiet Search in a way that violates the terms of service of any job platform it scans (Greenhouse, LinkedIn, etc.).
• Resell, sublicense, or commercialise access to Quiet Search without written permission.

5. AI-generated content

Quiet Search uses AI models (Groq, Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI) to generate cover letters, outreach messages, interview prep, and job fit analysis. This content is:

• Not guaranteed to be accurate. AI-generated text may contain errors, outdated information, or statements that do not reflect reality. Always review and edit before sending anything.
• Your responsibility. Any outreach, application, or communication you send using Quiet Search-generated drafts is your own. Quiet Search is not responsible for the consequences of sending AI-generated content without review.
• Not legal, financial, or career advice. Job fit scores, salary benchmarks, and company intelligence are tools to help you prioritise, not professional advice.

6. Job data and accuracy

Quiet Search scans publicly available job listings from third-party sources (Greenhouse, Lever, LinkedIn, etc.). We do not create or verify job listings. Jobs in Quiet Search may be:

• Outdated or already filled by the time you see them.
• Incorrectly categorised by Quiet Search's matching algorithm.
• Removed from the source without Quiet Search reflecting this immediately.

Always verify job status and details directly with the employer before applying.

7. Your data

You own your data — your profile, resume text, job pipeline, notes, and contacts. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle it.

You can export or delete your data at any time from Settings. We do not claim any rights over content you create in Quiet Search.

8. Availability and changes

Quiet Search is provided as-is during the beta period. We do not guarantee uptime, specific feature availability, or that the service will continue to exist in its current form.

We may:

• Change, add, or remove features without notice.
• Introduce paid plans or pricing at general availability with reasonable notice to existing users.
• Suspend or terminate access for users who violate these Terms.
• Shut down the service with 30 days' notice (we will provide a data export before doing so).

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Quiet Search and its operator are not liable for:

• Any lost job opportunities, missed interviews, or career outcomes resulting from using or not using Quiet Search.
• Inaccuracies in job listings, company information, AI-generated content, or fit scores.
• Data loss resulting from technical failures (though we take reasonable steps to prevent this).
• Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of Quiet Search.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of Quiet Search is limited to the amount you have paid to use Quiet Search in the 12 months preceding the claim (which, during the free beta, is $0).

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of San Francisco County, California.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as Quiet Search evolves. We will post the updated version here with a new effective date. For material changes, we will notify you by email or in-app notice at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of Quiet Search after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
