Terms of Service

1. The agreement

These terms are a contract between you and MeritLog LLC. Creating an account means you accept them.

You must be at least 16 and able to enter a contract. If you accept on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you can bind it.

2. What MeritLog does

MeritLog stores the career record you build, and offers optional tools that draw on it: extraction from sources you supply, fit analysis, document drafting, compensation support, and job tracking.

MeritLog is direct to consumer. There are no recruiter accounts, no employer tools, no public candidate profiles, and no advertising built on your career record. We do not sell your data.

3. Your content stays yours

You keep every right in what you put into MeritLog. You grant us only the licence we need to host, process, back up, and show it back to you, and to run the optional features you switch on. That licence ends when you delete the content or close your account, except for backups still inside their expiry window.

We do not use your career record to train AI models, and we do not let our sub-processors do so.

4. What you agree not to do

Keep it to your own career. Specifically, do not:

• upload someone else's personal data without a lawful basis to do so
• upload malware, or attempt to break, probe, or overload the service
• use the service to build a competing dataset, or scrape it
• misrepresent your history to a third party using documents generated here
• resell or share your account

5. AI output is a draft

Extraction, analysis, drafting, and compensation figures are generated text. They can be wrong. Check anything before you rely on it or send it to an employer.

MeritLog does not give career, legal, tax, or financial advice, and does not promise an interview, an offer, or a salary.

6. Paying

There is a free tier. Paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe on the cycle you choose, and renew until you cancel.

Cancel any time; the plan runs to the end of the period you already paid for and does not renew. We do not refund part-used periods except where the law requires it. If you are a consumer in the UK or EU, your statutory cancellation rights apply and are not affected by this paragraph.

We will give at least 30 days' notice before a price change affects you.

7. Ending the agreement

You can close your account whenever you like, and export your record before you do.

We can suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, or that we must act on by law. Except where a breach is serious or the law prevents it, we will warn you first and give you a chance to export.

If we discontinue MeritLog we will give at least 90 days' notice and keep export working for that whole period.

8. What we do not promise

The service is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we disclaim implied warranties to the extent the law allows.

Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

Otherwise our total liability for any claim in a 12-month period is limited to what you paid us in that period, or 50 US dollars if you paid nothing. We are not liable for lost profits, lost opportunities, or lost data where you could have exported it.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, and disputes go to the state and federal courts located in Delaware.

If you are a consumer, this does not remove the protection of the mandatory law of the country you live in, or your right to bring a claim in your local courts.

10. Changes

This is version 1, effective 2026-07-27. We will give at least 30 days' notice before a material change takes effect, and you can close your account before it does.
