Terms of use

These terms apply when you use scholarlyvitae.com ("ScholarlyVitae", "we", "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

The service

ScholarlyVitae lets you write CVs, resumes and cover letters and download them as PDF, plain text or JSON. You can use it without an account. A free account adds storage for your documents. We may change, add or remove features over time.

Your content

• You own everything you write. We claim no rights to your documents.
• If you save documents to an account, you allow us to store them and show them back to you. We use them for nothing else.
• You are responsible for what your documents say, including that they are accurate and that you have the right to include any material in them.

Your account

• Use a real email address you control, and keep your password private.
• You are responsible for activity under your account.
• You can stop using the site at any time. To delete your account, see the privacy policy.

Acceptable use

Don't use the site to break the law, to impersonate someone, to store unlawful content, to attack or overload our systems, to probe for security weaknesses without permission, or to create accounts or documents in bulk by automated means. We may suspend or remove accounts that do.

Passes

Passes are not on sale yet. Their price, what they include and the refund policy will be published here before they go on sale. Passes will be one-time purchases and will never renew automatically.

Keep your own copies

Documents saved only in your browser can be lost if you clear your browser data, use private browsing, or change devices. Download a JSON backup or PDF of anything important. We are not responsible for documents lost from browser storage.

No guarantees

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". We work to keep it running and your data safe, but we can't promise it will always be available or error-free. We don't guarantee any outcome from using it, such as interviews, job offers or admission decisions.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost data, profits or opportunities, arising from your use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we will update the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
