Terms of Service

1. Scope and provider

These General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) govern the use of the “ApplyBoost” web application and related services, content, documents, and features made available via apply-boost.com.

The provider and contractual partner is:

Roman Camenzind

Eichmatt 28

CH-6034 Inwil

Switzerland

Email: support@apply-boost.com

These GTC apply to free and paid use of ApplyBoost unless expressly agreed otherwise.

2. Conclusion of contract and incorporation

The terms, prices, and service descriptions displayed when you complete an order, registration, or upgrade process form part of the contract.

For paid offers, the contract is formed when you complete the order process and we accept your order or enable the paid service for you.

By registering, ordering, or using the service, you confirm that you have read these GTC and agree to be bound by them. For paid orders you must expressly agree to the GTC.

3. Description of services

ApplyBoost helps users prepare and optimise application documents. Depending on the scope booked, the service may in particular include:

• analysis of résumés, job information, and text input;
• generation, revision, or structuring of text suggestions;
• creation or population of templates;
• export or provision of documents, e.g. as PDF or DOCX;
• account management, history, credits, or subscriptions.

The service is for information, organisation, and productivity purposes. ApplyBoost does not provide legal, tax, career, HR, or job-placement services in a legal sense.

We do not owe any particular economic, professional, or practical outcome, in particular no invitation to interviews, no employment, no specific response rate, and no specific score in applicant tracking systems.

4. User account and authentication

Certain features require a user account.

You must:

• provide accurate information when registering;
• keep your login credentials confidential;
• promptly report unauthorised access or suspected incidents;
• not transfer your account to third parties without our consent.

You are liable for activity under your account where you are at fault. Login may take place via external identity providers.

5. Prices, subscriptions, credits, and payment

The following rules apply to prices, payments, subscriptions, and credits.

5.1 Prices

The prices, currencies, scopes of service, and billing intervals shown when the contract is concluded apply.

Unless stated otherwise, prices include legally due value added tax or comparable indirect taxes, where applicable.

5.2 Payment processing

Payments may be processed via external payment service providers. You authorise us or the payment service provider used to charge the payment method you select in accordance with the chosen plan.

5.3 Subscriptions

Subscriptions run for the period stated at the time of purchase.

Where expressly provided at contract conclusion, subscriptions renew automatically for the stated renewal period unless cancelled in good time before expiry. The notice period and next renewal date are shown at checkout or in your user account.

5.4 Credits

Credits are usage units within the service. Unless the purchase states otherwise:

• credits are not transferable;
• not redeemable for cash;
• redeemable only within the user account to which they were credited;
• do not expire before 12 months have elapsed since crediting unless stated otherwise or mandatory law requires otherwise (a longer period or no expiry may be indicated on the product).

5.5 Price changes

We may change prices for future purchases, new plans, or future renewal periods. Price changes for running subscriptions will be communicated with reasonable advance notice and apply from the next renewal period unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

5.6 Refunds

Amounts already paid are refunded only where required by law or expressly agreed.

Where applicable consumer law provides a right of withdrawal or cancellation, that right remains unaffected. Where legally permissible, withdrawal rights may not apply to digital services if performance began or was completed with your express consent before the end of a withdrawal period and you were informed of the consequences.

6. Your content

“User content” means all content you upload, enter, link, edit, or otherwise provide in connection with use, for example résumés, cover letters, job ads, URLs, text, keywords, or formatting preferences.

You retain rights in your user content.

You grant us a non-exclusive worldwide licence as required to host, store, reproduce, analyse, process, transmit, and display your user content insofar as necessary to provide, perform, secure, fix errors, prevent abuse, and lawfully further develop the service.

You warrant that:

• you have the necessary rights and authority;
• use of your content does not infringe third-party rights;
• your content is not unlawful, misleading, or abusive.

7. AI-generated output

Parts of the service rely on automated procedures and AI systems.

You acknowledge that:

• generated content may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable;
• outputs must be reviewed, corrected, and adapted to the individual case;
• ApplyBoost does not warrant factual, legal, linguistic, or strategic suitability of an output for a particular case;
• you remain solely responsible for documents and content you send, publish, or use towards third parties.

8. Permitted use and prohibitions

You may use the service only lawfully and in accordance with these GTC.

The following is prohibited in particular:

• use for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or harmful purposes;
• upload of malware or code that may impair systems;
• circumvention of technical or organisational safeguards;
• automated mass scraping, reverse engineering, load testing, or abusive API use unless mandatory law permits otherwise;
• resale, sublicensing, or unauthorised commercial redistribution of the service;
• infringement of intellectual property, privacy, or personality rights of third parties;
• upload of particularly sensitive content where not required for the service or unlawful.

9. Intellectual property

All rights in the website, software, design, templates, documentation, trademarks, logos, and other materials we provide remain with us or our licensors.

You receive a simple, non-transferable, revocable right to use the service to the contractually agreed extent.

Where templates, libraries, or components include third-party or open-source parts, their additional licence terms prevail where legally required.

10. Availability, changes, and further development

We aim for high availability but do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation at all times.

We may adapt, develop, restrict, or discontinue features technically, in design, or organisationally where:

• required for security, legal, abuse, or operational reasons;
• the change is reasonable for you;
• material paid core features are not withdrawn without reasonable compensation unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

Maintenance, updates, third-party outages, or events outside our control may temporarily affect use.

11. Third-party providers

We use third-party providers to deliver the service, in particular for hosting, authentication, payments, data storage, communications, or AI features. The following are currently used in particular:

• Frontend hosting (website): Netlify, Inc.
• Backend API and execution: Render Services, Inc.
• Database: MongoDB Atlas (MongoDB, Inc.)
• Authentication and user accounts: Auth0 (Okta, Inc.)
• Payment processing: Stripe, Inc.
• AI and language models (LLM): OpenAI, LLC
• Email and transactional notifications: via the respective platforms listed above (in particular Auth0, Stripe) and for support via our stated email address.

This list reflects the current system architecture and may be updated when we make technical changes. Where required, we rely on processing agreements and appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

There is no entitlement to any specific third-party provider being retained.

12. Warranty

To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available”.

We make no express or implied warranties or representations, in particular regarding:

• merchantability;
• fitness for a particular purpose;
• uninterrupted availability;
• complete freedom from errors;
• success of specific applications or outcomes.

Mandatory statutory warranty and consumer rights remain unaffected.

13. Liability

Our liability is unlimited:

• for intent and gross negligence;
• for injury to life, body, or health;
• under mandatory statutory provisions.

For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of material contractual obligations and only for typically foreseeable damage.

To the extent permitted by law, any further liability is excluded.

We are in particular not liable for:

— AI outputs adopted by the user without review;

— content, data, or acts of third parties;

— damage due to improper use;

— outages of third-party platforms or network infrastructure outside our control;

— indirect damage, consequential loss, lost profit, or loss of data where an exclusion is legally permissible.

Mandatory rules on burden of proof to your benefit remain unaffected.

14. Indemnity

You indemnify us, our agents, and vicarious agents against third-party claims arising from your unlawful use of the service or from content you provide, where you are at fault. This includes reasonable legal defence and procedural costs.

15. Term, termination, and suspension

You may stop using the service at any time and cancel or delete an existing account using the available functions, subject to ongoing paid obligations.

We may suspend or terminate services if:

• you materially breach these GTC;
• there is suspicion of abuse, security issues, or fraud;
• we are legally, regulatorily, or judicially required to do so;
• continuing the service becomes economically or technically unreasonable for us.

Where reasonable, we will inform you in advance or give you an opportunity to comment or remedy the issue.

After the contract ends we may delete or anonymise data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, subject to statutory retention duties.

16. Consumer rights and local rules

Where you are a consumer and mandatory consumer protection rules of your habitual residence apply to your contractual relationship, those rules remain unaffected.

These GTC do not limit rights that cannot be waived under mandatory law.

17. Applicable law and jurisdiction

Swiss substantive law applies to the exclusion of conflict-of-law rules where legally permissible.

Mandatory protective rules for consumers in their country of habitual residence remain unaffected.

To the extent legally permissible, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these GTC is the provider’s seat in Switzerland.

Mandatory consumer jurisdictions remain reserved.

18. Severability

Should individual provisions of these GTC be or become wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid provision is replaced by a permissible provision that comes closest to its economic purpose.

19. Changes to these GTC

We may change these GTC where objectively justified, in particular due to:

• changes in the law;
• new technical or operational requirements;
• new features or business models;
• security or abuse considerations.

We will notify you of material changes in an appropriate manner. If you do not object within a reasonable period and continue to use the service, the change may be deemed accepted where legally permissible. We will inform you separately of these consequences where applicable.
