Terms of Use

Last Updated: October 6, 2025

Welcome to Syllabuzz! We provide a platform to support college students and prospects, and to help employers share company information and job opportunities (the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract, or you have obtained valid consent from a parent or legal guardian where required by law.

2. Accounts and Security

To access certain features, you must create an account (student or employer/company). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

3. Privacy

Your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and disclose information, including resumes and essays for AI course recommendations and employer-provided company information and Job Descriptions.

4. AI‑Powered Features; No Professional Advice

The Services include AI‑powered features (e.g., course recommendations) that analyze resumes, essays, and other signals to generate suggestions. AI outputs may be incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or reflect biases. They are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute academic, career, legal, or other professional advice. You are solely responsible for your use of outputs, including verifying accuracy before relying on them.

• Academic Integrity. Do not submit AI outputs as your own work where prohibited (e.g., assignments, exams, application essays). You are responsible for complying with your institution’s policies.
• Opt‑Out of Personalization. You may request to opt out of personalized recommendations; non‑personalized suggestions may still be provided.
• Third‑Party AI Providers. We may use third‑party AI vendors. Their use of data is governed by our Privacy Policy and applicable contracts.

5. User Content and Licenses

You may post, upload, or provide content such as profiles, messages, resumes/CVs, essays, company profiles, and Job Descriptions (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content.

By submitting User Content, you grant Syllabuzz a non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free, sublicensable and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, display, perform, translate, distribute, and create derivative works (solely to format, analyze, and process) your User Content to operate, improve, and provide the Services (including generating recommendations), consistent with the Privacy Policy. We will not use your resumes/essays to train general‑purpose AI models without your separate, explicit consent.

• Your Responsibilities. You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit User Content and that it is accurate, lawful, and does not violate third‑party rights.
• Sensitive Information. Do not include highly sensitive data (e.g., government IDs, precise health/medical data) in resumes/essays unless you understand and accept the risks.
• Visibility and Sharing. Student content (e.g., resume) is shared with employers only when you direct us to do so (e.g., apply, enable discoverability). Employer/company content is intended to be visible to students and may be publicly accessible within the Services.

6. Employer/Company Obligations

• You are solely responsible for company profiles and Job Descriptions you post, including accuracy, lawful basis, and compliance with all applicable laws (e.g., anti‑discrimination/EEO, pay transparency, advertising, privacy, and recruiting laws).
• You may not post deceptive, spam, or “bait‑and‑switch” listings; require unlawful fees; or solicit sensitive personal information not reasonably necessary for screening.
• Posting does not constitute endorsement by Syllabuzz, and Syllabuzz does not guarantee applicants or hiring outcomes.
• We may edit, reformat, refuse, or remove content for any reason, including to enforce these Terms or comply with law.

7. Acceptable Use

• No unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or discriminatory content or conduct.
• No reverse engineering, scraping, crawling, data mining, or bulk extraction without our prior written consent.
• No interference with the Services or circumvention of security or access controls.
• No uploading malware or attempting to gain unauthorized access.
• No misrepresentation of identity, affiliation, or the source of content.
• No use of outputs to create automated spam or to violate academic or employment rules.

8. Intellectual Property; Reservation of Rights

The Services, including software, designs, trademarks, and content (excluding User Content), are owned by Syllabuzz or its licensors and are protected by law. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, create derivative works, or exploit any part of the Services.

9. Third‑Party Services

The Services may link to or integrate with third‑party websites, products, or services. We are not responsible for their content or practices. Your use is subject to their terms and policies.

10. Paid Services

We may offer paid subscriptions or features. Prices, billing cycles, and renewal terms will be disclosed at purchase. Unless stated otherwise, charges are non‑refundable except where required by law.

11. Beta Features

We may release features labeled as “beta,” “preview,” or similar, including AI‑powered tools. These are provided “as is,” may change without notice, and may have reduced availability or accuracy.

12. Ranking, Sorting, and Non‑Endorsement

We may rank, sort, or recommend content (e.g., courses, job posts) using algorithms and user signals. Rankings are not endorsements. Syllabuzz does not guarantee admission, course success, interviews, or hiring.

13. Copyright; DMCA Policy

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used in a way that constitutes infringement, send a notice to legal@syllabuzz.com with: (a) your contact info; (b) identification of the work; (c) identification of the infringing material and its location; (d) a statement of good‑faith belief; (e) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are authorized; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. We may remove or disable access and may terminate repeat infringers. Counter‑notices should be sent to the same address.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately. Certain provisions survive termination (e.g., licenses granted for operation of the Services to the extent necessary, IP, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution).

15. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES (INCLUDING AI FEATURES AND ANY CONTENT OR OUTPUTS) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, ERROR‑FREE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SYLLABUZZ OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Syllabuzz and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Services, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

18. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Syllabuzz agree to resolve any dispute through binding individual arbitration administered by a reputable arbitration provider, and you waive any right to participate in class actions or class‑wide arbitration. You may seek relief in small claims court if eligible. Nothing limits either party’s right to seek injunctive or equitable relief for alleged unlawful use of intellectual property.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms. If a change is material, we will provide notice (e.g., by email, in‑app, or posting) at least 30 days before it takes effect. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

20. Miscellaneous

• If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
• You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign as part of a reorganization, merger, or sale.
• These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any product‑specific terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Syllabuzz regarding the Services.
• Headings are for convenience only.
