2. The Service

ApplyBrief helps employers, recruiters, agencies, and hiring teams create job application experiences, collect candidate responses, manage candidate workflows, and send transactional communications related to recruiting and account activity.

ApplyBrief is not an employer, staffing agency, background check provider, law firm, or employment decision maker. We do not guarantee job applications, candidate quality, interviews, offers, hires, job placement, legal compliance, or business outcomes.

3. Accounts And Access

• You must provide accurate account and business information.
• You are responsible for keeping account credentials secure and for activity under your account.
• You must promptly remove access for team members who should no longer use ApplyBrief.

4. Customer Responsibilities

Customers using ApplyBrief for hiring are responsible for:

• Providing lawful job content, eligibility criteria, questions, compensation information, and candidate notices.
• Making hiring decisions through fair, non-discriminatory, human-reviewed processes.
• Obtaining and documenting required consents for SMS, WhatsApp, email, cookies, background checks, and any sensitive data collection.
• Following employment, privacy, advertising, anti-discrimination, recordkeeping, accessibility, and messaging laws that apply to their workflows and locations.
• Responding to candidate rights requests where the customer controls the candidate data.

5. Candidate Responsibilities

Candidates and applicants must provide information that is accurate to the best of their knowledge and must not submit unlawful, misleading, harmful, or third-party confidential content. Applying through ApplyBrief does not guarantee that an employer will review an application, interview a candidate, or make an offer.

You must not use ApplyBrief to:

• Discriminate unlawfully or facilitate unlawful employment practices.
• Send spam, phishing, deceptive, abusive, or unauthorized messages.
• Collect sensitive information without a lawful basis, required notices, and required consent.
• Upload malware or content that infringes another person's rights.
• Reverse engineer, overload, disrupt, or probe ApplyBrief systems without permission.
• Use ApplyBrief for illegal, harmful, fraudulent, or deceptive activity.

7. Communications

ApplyBrief may send account, security, support, application, interview, and status communications by email and, where you have consented, SMS, WhatsApp, or other channels. SMS and WhatsApp are sent only to recipients who have provided the required consent. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to SMS messages to opt out and HELP for help.

8. AI-Assisted Features

ApplyBrief may include AI-assisted features that draft, summarize, classify, recommend, or transform content. AI outputs can be incomplete, inaccurate, biased, or unsuitable for a particular use. Customers must review AI-assisted outputs before using them and must not use ApplyBrief to make solely automated hiring decisions about candidates.

9. Content And Intellectual Property

You retain rights to content you submit to ApplyBrief. You grant ApplyBrief the rights needed to host, process, display, transmit, back up, secure, and improve the service using that content. ApplyBrief and its licensors retain all rights in the service, software, designs, workflows, documentation, and related technology.

If you believe content on ApplyBrief infringes your intellectual property, contact contact@applybrief.com with enough detail to identify the content and your rights, and we will review it.

10. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum explain how we handle personal information. Customers must provide any additional notices required for their own job workflows, candidate processing, hiring decisions, and communications.

11. Third-Party Services

ApplyBrief integrates with third-party services such as hosting providers, email providers, payment processing (Paddle), authentication providers, and AI infrastructure. These are listed on our Sub-processor page, and third-party services may have their own terms and policies.

12. Fees, Billing, And Merchant Of Record

Paid plans use a monthly subscription that includes a credit allowance, plus optional credit top-ups that you can purchase manually or enable to top up automatically when your balance is low. Credits are prepaid, non-transferable, and have no cash value except as required by law or our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Our payments and order fulfillment are handled by Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd) as the Merchant of Record / authorized reseller. When you buy a subscription or credits, the transaction is with Paddle and is subject to Paddle's Buyer Terms; Paddle processes payment, handles applicable taxes and VAT, issues invoices/receipts, and may appear on your statement.

Recurring billing and auto top-up: the monthly subscription renews automatically each billing period, and auto top-up (if you enable it) charges your payment method automatically when your credit balance falls below the threshold you set, until you cancel or disable it. By subscribing or enabling auto top-up you authorize these recurring charges. We (or Paddle) will tell you the amount and frequency before you are charged and give advance notice of material price changes. You can cancel the subscription or turn off auto top-up at any time from your account or via your Paddle receipt; cancellation stops future charges and takes effect at the end of the current paid period. Refunds are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

13. Suspension And Termination

We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe there is a security risk, legal risk, non-payment, policy violation, misuse, or breach of these Terms. You may stop using ApplyBrief at any time, subject to any paid plan or written agreement that applies.

14. Disclaimers

ApplyBrief is provided as is and as available, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, and guaranteed results. Some features may be offered as beta or preview and may change or be withdrawn.

15. Limitation Of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ApplyBrief will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost goodwill, or hiring outcomes. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

16. Indemnity

If you use ApplyBrief for an organization, that organization will defend and indemnify ApplyBrief from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from its job content, hiring workflows, candidate processing, communications, breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law.

17. Governing Law And Disputes — Business Customers

For organizations and account holders using ApplyBrief for hiring, these Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between ApplyBrief and a business customer, and each party submits to that jurisdiction. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

18. Dispute Resolution — US Candidates And Consumers

If you are an individual in the United States using ApplyBrief as a candidate or consumer, you and ApplyBrief agree to resolve any dispute through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, and you and ApplyBrief waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. Either party may bring an eligible claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing contact@applybrief.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. This section does not waive any right that cannot be waived under applicable law.

19. General

• Entire agreement: these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the DPA, and any order form or signed agreement are the entire agreement; a signed agreement controls in case of conflict.
• Severability: if any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• Waiver: failing to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment: you may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Force majeure: neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• Notices: we may provide notices by email or in-product; legal notices to ApplyBrief should go to contact@applybrief.com.
• Survival: provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including content licenses already granted, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute terms) survive.

20. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. When changes are material, we will provide notice where required. Continued use of ApplyBrief after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms.
