Terms of service

Who these terms cover

Resuvouch has three kinds of users, and each one agrees to something slightly different:

• Candidates create an account, write claims about their own work, invite references, and share the results through links they control.
• References answer a candidate's claims from an email invitation. You answer first and create an account at the end — the account is what owns your answers and lets you edit or withdraw them later.
• Recruiters view results through a share link a candidate sends them. Recruiters do not need an account, and by opening a link you agree to use what you see only for evaluating that candidate.

By creating an account or opening a share link, you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, do not use Resuvouch.

Accounts

There are no passwords. You sign in with a magic link sent to your email, or with Google. Sign-in links expire after 15 minutes and work once. Sessions are held on our servers and can be revoked; they last up to 30 days.

Your account is yours alone. Do not sign in as someone else, and do not let someone else answer as you. You are responsible for keeping access to your email account secure, because your email is how you sign in.

Acceptable use

The short version: everything on Resuvouch must be true and freely given. Fabricating references, paying or pressuring people for favorable answers, and trading answers in a ring all defeat the point of the product, and all of them get accounts removed. The full policy is at Acceptable use & anti-abuse, and it is part of these terms.

Who owns and answers for the content

Candidates own their claims. If you write a claim, you are stating that it is true, and you are responsible for it.

References own their answers. Your accuracy ratings, your comments, and your consent choices are yours: you can edit them or withdraw them later. Withdrawn answers are excluded from every reading, and the candidate is notified when you change something.

Resuvouch does not write, endorse, or verify the truth of any claim or answer. We show what people said, who said it, how they know, and how the two sides' accounts line up — and we leave judgment to the reader.

Share links

Candidates decide what a share link shows (which positions, whether reference names appear) and can revoke a link at any time. If you receive a share link, do not republish its contents or pass it beyond the people who need it for the hiring decision at hand.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time from your settings. Deletion makes your account inaccessible immediately, and we purge your personal data within 30 days — the details are in the Privacy policy. Answers you gave as a reference survive in anonymized form so candidates' results stay consistent, with everything identifying you removed.

We can suspend or remove accounts that break these terms or the acceptable use policy. When we do, we will tell you why unless doing so would help someone evade our abuse checks.

What we do not promise

Resuvouch is provided as it is. We work hard to keep it available and accurate, but we do not promise that it will always be up, free of bugs, or that any claim or answer on it is true. Hiring decisions made using Resuvouch are the decision-maker's responsibility, not ours.

To the extent the law allows, our liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the problem — which, for candidates and references on the free product, is nothing. Nothing in these terms limits liability the law does not let us limit.

Changes to these terms

When we change these terms in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top and email account holders before the change takes effect. If you keep using Resuvouch after that, the new terms apply. If you do not agree with a change, delete your account before it takes effect.
