Terms and Conditions

1. Scope

These terms govern the use of the CVChecked platform and the digital services offered through it. The provider is Niklas Schmolenski, Nollendorfstraße 21A, 10777 Berlin, Germany, email: [email protected].

2. Services

CVChecked provides digital services for resume analysis, support with ordinary application documents, and the generation of drafts such as cover letters. Results are generated in whole or in part automatically and are intended as assistance only. CVChecked does not replace legal, tax, HR, or career advice. No specific hiring outcome, interview rate, or error-free output is guaranteed.

3. Contract Formation and Account

Some free preview functions may be used without an account. Certain features, especially saved analyses and paid plans, require a user account. You must provide accurate information when registering and using the service, keep your credentials confidential, and must not use the account abusively or share it with third parties. The contract for free account features is formed when your account is activated. The contract for paid plans is formed when the checkout process is completed.

4. Permitted Use

Use must comply with applicable law. In particular, abusive use, automated high-volume use outside intended interfaces, attacks on the platform, circumvention of technical safeguards, use for unlawful content, or processing documents that you are not authorized to use is prohibited. Please do not upload unnecessary special categories of personal data such as health data, religion, or trade-union information unless they are genuinely required for the intended application purpose. We may remove uploads and temporarily suspend access where content is clearly unlawful, abusive, outside the intended service scope, or otherwise unsuitable for the service.

We are not obliged to monitor uploaded content generally or proactively. However, where we receive concrete notices about allegedly illegal content, or otherwise become concretely aware of such content, we may review, block, or remove the affected uploads and take measures required to comply with legal obligations or to defend legal claims. Reports about allegedly illegal content may be submitted to [email protected].

Reports about allegedly illegal content may be submitted electronically to [email protected]. Please describe the content concerned as specifically as possible and explain the reason for the complaint.

5. Rights to Content and Output

You retain rights to the content you upload. To the extent necessary for performance of the contract, you grant us a non-exclusive right to store, technically process, and share that content with service providers we use. You may use the analyses and drafts we provide for your own application purposes. Uploaded documents are not reviewed manually on a routine basis; manual access takes place only exceptionally where necessary for support, debugging, abuse or security handling, or the defence of legal claims. You remain responsible for reviewing and adapting the output before using it.

6. Free Plan, Limits, and Fair Use

The platform may include free and paid features. Free features are provided voluntarily and subject to our technical, economic, and operational capacity. There is no entitlement to specific free features, specific quotas, a particular level of availability, or an unchanged continuation of the free plan. We may change, limit, or discontinue free features, preview scope, credits, limits, and access options for the future where there is an objective reason, including security, abuse prevention, technical capacity, disproportionate cost, changes to third-party dependencies, or legal requirements. We will reasonably take existing users' legitimate interests into account and, where practicable, give advance notice of materially adverse changes.

Free use is permitted only within normal and fair individual use. In particular, we may apply technical restrictions, lock functions, or temporarily block access where usage is unusually high, automated, circumvents limits, shares access, or is otherwise abusive.

7. Pricing, Payment, and Subscriptions

If and when we offer or activate paid plans, the prices, services, billing intervals, and tax information displayed in checkout apply. Billing is then handled through Paddle. Unless stated otherwise in checkout, a paid subscription renews automatically for the selected term until effectively ended. Payment details, invoices, and certain management functions are handled through the customer portal or other Paddle-provided flows. Statutory consumer rights, including statutory cancellation and withdrawal rights, remain unaffected.

8. Term, Suspension, Termination, and Changes

You may delete your account using the functions provided. The right of both parties to terminate for cause remains unaffected. We may suspend accounts or individual features, or temporarily restrict access, where this is objectively justified and proportionate, in particular in case of security incidents, abuse, suspected unauthorized use, circumvention of limits, infringements of law, or other material breaches. Where possible, we will consider less severe measures and inform you about significant actions.

We may also terminate free accounts on ordinary notice or discontinue their free features for the future on reasonable notice. We may ordinarily end paid contracts only with effect from the end of the current billing period where there is an objective reason and without depriving you of services already paid for; the right to terminate for cause remains unaffected. Consumers entering into paid distance contracts have a statutory withdrawal right. Details are set out in the separate withdrawal information.

We may further develop, technically adapt, or change the digital services where there is a valid reason, the change does not impose additional cost on you, and the change is reasonable overall. Where legally required, we will inform you clearly and understandably about material changes in advance.

9. Availability and Liability

We strive for high service availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We are fully liable for intent, gross negligence, and injury to life, body, or health. In cases of slight negligence, we are liable only for breaches of essential contractual obligations and only for the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Mandatory liability under product liability law remains unaffected.

10. Privacy and Final Provisions

Information about the processing of personal data is available in the privacy policy. German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection rules of the country of your habitual residence remain unaffected. If the user is a merchant, legal person under public law, or special fund under public law, Berlin is the place of jurisdiction where legally permissible.
