Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these terms

These terms govern your use of Upsilon, operated by [Company legal name]. By creating an account or uploading a CV you agree to them.

If you use Upsilon on behalf of a company, you confirm that you may bind that company.

2. Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to hold a candidate account. Employer accounts are for businesses, not private individuals.

Keep your login details to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account until you tell us it was compromised.

The information you give us must be accurate. A CV that misstates your work history undermines the matching for everyone.

3. The service

Candidates upload a CV once and keep a free account. Employers describe the role and the person they need.

Our algorithm ranks candidates against that description using work history: roles, employers, duration, seniority and the skills evidenced by them.

Upsilon is a matching platform. We are not an employer, not a recruiter of record, and we do not guarantee interviews, offers or hires.

4. Fees for employers

Candidates never pay. Using the platform, seeing rankings and contacting candidates costs employers nothing up front.

A fee becomes due when an employer hires a candidate introduced through Upsilon. The fee is [X]% of the agreed gross first-year salary of that hire.

• First-year salary means fixed gross annual pay plus guaranteed bonuses, excluding equity unless agreed in writing.
• The fee is invoiced once the candidate signs and is payable within [14] days, net, plus VAT where applicable.
• A hire within [12] months of an introduction through Upsilon counts, even if the contact later continued off-platform.
• If the hire ends during the probation period, [refund or replacement terms] apply.

Employers must tell us within [14] days of signing a candidate introduced here. Circumventing the fee is a breach of these terms.

5. Acceptable use

Use Upsilon to find work or to fill real, open positions. Nothing else.

• Do not upload a CV that is not yours, or data you have no right to share.
• Do not scrape, crawl or bulk export candidate profiles.
• Do not use candidate contact details for marketing, sales or any purpose other than the role at hand.
• Do not discriminate against candidates on any ground protected by law.
• Do not post fake roles, or attempt to reverse engineer the matching algorithm.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these rules, usually with notice, immediately where the breach is serious.

6. Intellectual property

Upsilon owns the platform, its design, its code and its matching models. These terms give you a limited right to use the service, nothing more.

You keep ownership of your CV and everything else you upload. You grant us the licence needed to store it, process it and show it to employers as described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Disclaimers

Upsilon is provided as is. We do not promise that a match leads to a job, or that any ranking is a judgement of your worth.

We do not verify employer claims about a role, and we do not verify every detail of a candidate CV. Both sides must do their own checks.

We aim to keep the service available but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access.

8. Limitation of liability

Nothing here limits liability for intent, gross negligence, personal injury or anything else that cannot be limited under German law.

Otherwise our liability is limited to foreseeable damage typical for this kind of contract, capped at [the fees paid in the preceding 12 months].

We are not liable for hiring decisions, for the conduct of an employer or candidate, or for indirect or consequential loss.

9. Termination

You may close your account at any time from your account settings. Deletion of your data follows the Privacy Policy.

We may terminate your access for breach of these terms, or with [30] days notice if we discontinue the service.

Fees already earned on a completed hire survive termination.

10. Governing law

German law applies, excluding its conflict of law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

For business users, the place of jurisdiction is [City]. Consumers keep the protections of their country of residence.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product changes. Material changes are announced by email or in the product at least [30] days in advance.

Continuing to use Upsilon after a change takes effect means you accept the new version.
