Terms of Service

1. What the Service is

hireable.lol is a public leaderboard of people who say they are available for work. Candidates publish a profile and appear in a ranking; visitors can browse, search and contact candidates through the links candidates choose to share, and can buy temporary visibility boosts.

We are not an employer, recruiter, staffing agency or job board. We do not verify candidates' identities, qualifications or claims, and we are not a party to any conversation, offer or agreement between candidates and anyone who contacts them.

2. Accounts

You sign in with a third-party provider (GitHub or Google). You must be at least 16 years old and legally able to agree to these terms. You may have one candidate profile. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access to your sign-in provider secure.

3. Your profile and content

• A public profile, including your name, headline, skills, location, links and any compensation range you add, is visible to anyone on the internet and may be indexed by search engines. Only publish what you are comfortable making public.
• Your content must be accurate and your own. Do not impersonate others, publish anyone else's personal data, or post unlawful, misleading, hateful or infringing material.
• You keep ownership of your content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display and share it as part of operating and promoting the Service (for example, showing your profile card on the leaderboard) for as long as it is on the Service.
• You can hide your profile at any time from your profile settings. To delete your account and data, contact us (see the Privacy Policy).

4. Ranking

Ranks are calculated automatically from profile completeness, recent availability refreshes and active boosts, as described on the Service. We may change the formula to keep the leaderboard fair and useful. A rank is not an endorsement or assessment of anyone's skills.

5. Boosts and payments

• A boost is a one-time purchase of temporary extra ranking points for a specific candidate. Anyone can buy a boost for any eligible candidate; the candidate does not need to approve it.
• Boost points start after the payment is confirmed and decrease steadily to zero over the package duration (for example, 24, 48 or 72 hours). Boosts are capped and never make a rank permanent.
• A boost only increases visibility. It does not guarantee any rank, contact, interview, job offer or other outcome. Estimated ranks shown before purchase are estimates and can change as other profiles and boosts change.
• Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, which acts as the Merchant of Record and seller for these transactions. Dodo Payments' own terms apply to the payment itself. Prices are shown in US dollars; applicable taxes may be added at checkout.
• Refunds are handled under our Refund Policy. A refunded boost is removed from the ranking.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• scrape, bulk-download or resell candidate data;
• use the Service to send spam or unsolicited bulk messages to candidates;
• manipulate rankings through fake profiles, automated activity, payment fraud or chargeback abuse;
• interfere with, probe or overload the Service or its security measures;
• use the Service for any unlawful or discriminatory purpose.

7. Moderation and termination

We may hide, remove or refuse any profile or content, and suspend or close accounts, if we reasonably believe these terms or the law have been breached or to protect users or the Service. Boosts on a profile removed for breaching these terms are not refundable, except where required by law. You may stop using the Service at any time.

8. Disclaimers and liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any candidate information is accurate.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost opportunities or profits, or for the conduct of candidates or visitors. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, give reasonable notice on the Service. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of [governing law / jurisdiction], without affecting any mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence. Questions about these terms: [contact email].
