Terms of service

Agreement

By accessing or using Refine, you agree to be bound by these terms of service. If you don't agree, don't use the service. We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll let you know through the app or by email. Continued use after changes means acceptance.

What Refine is

Refine is a job search management tool. It helps you track job applications, record interviews and offers, and monitor company career pages for new openings. Refine is a personal productivity tool — it is not a job board, recruiting service, or employment agency. We don't guarantee job placements, interview outcomes, or any particular results from using the service.

Accounts

Guest access

You can explore Refine without creating an account. Guest sessions are temporary. Data from guest sessions may be deleted after 30 days of inactivity. To keep your data, create an account.

Registered accounts

When you create an account, you're responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials. Use a strong, unique password. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.

Account deletion

You can delete your account at any time. When you do, we'll delete all your personal data within 30 days. Some anonymized, aggregated data may persist in analytics systems.

Your data

• Ownership — you own the content you create in Refine. Job applications, interview notes, offer details — that's your data
• License — you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your data solely to provide the service to you
• Privacy — your job search data is private by default. Only you can see it. See our privacy policy for full details on how we handle data
• Aggregated data — we may use anonymized, aggregated usage data to improve the product. This data cannot identify individual users

Signals and career page monitoring

Refine's Signals feature monitors public company career pages for new job openings. This data comes from publicly accessible web pages. We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate, timely information, but we cannot guarantee:

• That all openings on a career page will be detected
• That detected openings are still active or accepting applications
• That job details (title, location, department) are completely accurate
• That notifications will be delivered in real-time

Always verify job details directly on the company's career page before applying.

Browser extension

• The extension only activates on pages it identifies as company career pages
• It does not monitor your general browsing activity, read your email, or access other tabs
• You can disable or uninstall it at any time through your browser's extension settings
• The extension communicates only with Refine's servers, not with any third party

Acceptable use

Use Refine for its intended purpose: managing your job search. Don't:

• Scrape, harvest, or programmatically access career page data at a rate that disrupts those services
• Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit data obtained through Refine
• Attempt to access other users' data or accounts
• Use the service to harass, spam, or impersonate others
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of our software
• Use automated tools to create accounts or interact with the service (except the official browser extension)

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Service availability

• We aim for high availability but don't guarantee 100% uptime
• We may perform maintenance that temporarily affects service availability
• We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features with reasonable notice
• We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from service interruptions

Pricing and payments

Refine is currently free during our beta period. If we introduce paid plans in the future, we'll give you advance notice and clearly communicate what's included. Existing functionality available during the free period will not be retroactively restricted without providing a comparable free alternative.

Intellectual property

Refine's software, design, brand, and documentation are owned by Refine. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the service without permission. Your content remains yours — we claim no intellectual property rights over the data you create in the product.

Limitation of liability

Refine is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We are not responsible for:

• Hiring decisions made by employers
• Missed job opportunities or application deadlines
• Accuracy of career page data or job listings
• Data loss beyond what's covered by our standard backup procedures
• Indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the service

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes will be resolved in accordance with applicable law.
