1. Introduction and Service Overview

Blend Careers provides specialized career development tools and services designed for international professionals seeking employment in German-speaking countries, including Germany and Austria. Our platform offers AI-powered CV analysis, German cover letter generation, interview preparation, and career coaching services.

These terms establish the legal framework for your use of our services, including both free and paid features. We are committed to helping you navigate the German-speaking job market while maintaining clear expectations about our respective rights and responsibilities.

Our services are specifically tailored for international talent, addressing unique challenges such as cultural adaptation, language requirements, and local hiring practices in German-speaking European markets.

2. Acceptance and Agreement to Terms

By creating an account, uploading your CV, using our AI tools, or accessing any part of our platform, you explicitly agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. This agreement becomes effective immediately upon your first use of our services.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must discontinue use of our platform immediately. Continued use after any modifications to these terms constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

For users under 18 years of age, parental or guardian consent is required before using our services. By using our platform, you confirm that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

3. Modifications and Updates to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or business practices. All modifications will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

For significant changes that materially affect your rights or obligations, we will provide advance notice through email or prominent platform notifications at least 30 days before the changes take effect.

We encourage you to review these terms periodically. Your continued use of our services after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms and conditions.

4. User Responsibilities and Account Management

As a user of Blend Careers, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your profile and using our services.

You agree to use our platform only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. This includes providing truthful information in your CV and profile, respecting intellectual property rights, and not attempting to circumvent our security measures.

You are responsible for the content you upload, including CVs, cover letters, and personal information. You warrant that you have the right to share this information and that it does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.

Users must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of their account or any other security breach. We are not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized account access due to your failure to maintain account security.

5. Service Limitations and Liability

While we strive to provide accurate and helpful career guidance, Blend Careers does not guarantee job placement, interview success, or specific career outcomes. Our AI tools and recommendations are designed to improve your job market readiness but cannot guarantee employment results.

We are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services, including but not limited to lost opportunities, career setbacks, or financial losses related to job searching activities.

Our liability is limited to the amount you have paid for our services in the 12 months preceding any claim. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which damages are claimed.

We do not warrant that our services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. Technical issues, maintenance, or external factors may occasionally affect service availability.

6. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Austria, where our primary operations are based. This choice of law applies regardless of your location or residence.

Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of our services will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Vienna, Austria. Both parties consent to this jurisdiction and waive any objections to venue.

For users located in the European Union, certain consumer protection rights may apply under local law, and nothing in these terms is intended to limit such rights where they cannot be lawfully limited.
