Terms of Service

1. Who these Terms are between, and how you accept them

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding contract between you and Siply Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Skopus AI ("Skopus," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Skopus AI website, applications, and related services.

You accept these Terms by creating an Account, or by clicking a button or checking a box indicating acceptance. If you browse the Services without creating an Account, these Terms govern that use as well. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

Two things require your separate, specific agreement and are not covered by your acceptance of these Terms: buying a paid subscription, where we present the renewal terms and take your consent to them at checkout as described in Section 16; and agreeing to receive marketing calls or text messages, where we take a separate written opt-in as described in Section 9. Neither is a condition of using the Services, and neither happens because you accepted these Terms.

Please read Section 19, which limits our liability, and Section 23, which requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration and waives your right to bring or join a class action — subject to your right to opt out within thirty days under Section 23.6.

These Terms cover your use of Skopus AI as an individual. Companies, recruiters, and agencies that use Skopus to search for and contact candidates do so under a separate agreement with us, and their obligations are set out there rather than here.

2. Definitions

"Account"

means the Skopus account you create and maintain to use the Services.

"AI System"

means any artificial-intelligence, machine-learning, or other automated system that processes data and generates outputs — including predictions, recommendations, classifications, rankings, scores, and matches — used in or to support any part of the Services.

"Content"

means text, images, audio, video, code, documents, and other materials, and includes both Skopus Content and Your Content.

"Openness Status"

means the setting by which you tell us how receptive you currently are to being contacted about opportunities — Active, Selective, or Passive — as described in Section 5.3.

"Recruiter"

means a company, in-house recruiter, recruiting agency, or other organization that uses Skopus to search for, evaluate, shortlist, or contact candidates, in each case under a separate written agreement with us.

"Services"

means the Skopus AI website, applications, and features, including demand and market intelligence, resume and career tools, Skopus Verify, the Verified Pool, and any other features we make available to you from time to time.

"Signal Score"

means the numeric indicator we generate through Skopus Verify to represent the strength and consistency of the professional information we were able to verify about you, as described in Section 5.4.

"Skopus Content"

means all Content other than Your Content, including our software, AI Systems and their outputs, market and demand intelligence, dashboards, documentation, trademarks, logos, and the selection and arrangement of our databases.

"Verified Pool"

means the private, access-controlled pool of verified candidate profiles that Recruiters may search, as described in Section 5.

"Your Content"

means Content you submit, upload, or otherwise provide through the Services, including your resume, work and education history, certifications, portfolio and project links, professional profile links, target role, salary expectations, profile photo, and messages.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to use the Services. We do not knowingly permit anyone under eighteen to create an Account. If we learn that an Account belongs to someone under eighteen, we will close it and delete the associated personal information, other than the minimum we must keep to meet a legal obligation or to prevent the Account being recreated, and other than copies in routine backup archives until those archives are overwritten in the ordinary course.

If you accept these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" means both you individually and that organization.

You represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of any country or territory subject to comprehensive United States sanctions, and that you are not listed on the U.S. Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, the U.S. Commerce Department's Denied Persons List, or any comparable restricted-party list maintained by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the United Nations.

4. Your Account

To use most of the Services you need an Account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, to keep it accurate, to keep your password and any additional authentication factors secure, and to accept responsibility for activity that occurs under your Account. You may not share or transfer your Account.

Tell us promptly at legal@skopusai.com if you believe someone has accessed your Account without your permission.

If you lose access to your Account we will follow our identity-verification procedures before restoring it. Those procedures are deliberately careful, because Skopus holds verified professional and identity information that is attractive to people committing fraud. If we cannot reasonably satisfy ourselves that you are who you say you are, we may decline to restore access.

5. Verification, the Verified Pool, and your Signal Score

This Section describes the part of Skopus that involves other people seeing information about you. It is the most important Section in these Terms for your privacy, and everything in it is under your control.

5.1 What verification checks

Skopus Verify is optional. If you choose to go through it, we review and attempt to confirm, using information you provide and information from third-party sources and public professional profiles where lawful: your identity; your experience, meaning your stated work and education history and the credentials you claim; your role fit, meaning the relationship between your background and the role you are targeting; and your intent, meaning whether you are genuinely open to the kind of opportunity your profile suggests.

Some identity checks are performed by third-party providers and may involve comparing a photograph of you against a photograph on an identity document. Where that comparison creates a biometric identifier or biometric information as those terms are defined by applicable law — including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act, and the Washington biometric identifiers statute — we will tell you before it happens, obtain your separate written consent, and publish the retention and destruction schedule those laws require. If you do not consent, we will offer an alternative verification route where one is available, or you can decline verification.

Verification tells a Recruiter that we checked these things and what we found. It is not a guarantee that every statement in your profile is accurate, it is not a background check, it is not a reference check, and it does not replace any screening a Recruiter chooses to perform. We describe what we verified and how, and we do not claim more than that.

You must not submit false, altered, or fraudulently obtained information, documents, or credentials during verification. Doing so is a serious breach of these Terms: it will result in the loss of verified status, removal from the Verified Pool, and may result in termination of your Account under Section 21.

5.2 The Verified Pool is private, and you decide whether you are in it

No Recruiter can see anything about you until you affirmatively choose to join the Verified Pool. Completing verification does not by itself make you visible. Joining is a separate, deliberate step that you take.

The Verified Pool is not a public directory and it is not indexed by search engines. Access is limited to Recruiters who have entered into a written agreement with us and been approved for access. Those agreements require Recruiters to use the pool only to identify and contact candidates for genuine opportunities, to comply with applicable equal-employment-opportunity, anti-discrimination, and data-protection law, to keep what they see confidential, not to re-disclose your information beyond their own hiring process, and not to use Skopus data to build or train their own models or databases. We enforce those agreements and may suspend or remove Recruiters who breach them, but we are not able to guarantee the conduct of every Recruiter, and Section 14 explains how that risk is allocated.

You may leave the Verified Pool at any time from your Account settings, effective immediately going forward. Leaving stops new Recruiters from finding you. It cannot retrieve information a Recruiter already lawfully accessed while you were visible, though our agreements require Recruiters to stop using and to delete it in that situation.

5.3 What Recruiters see, and your Openness Status

While you are in the Verified Pool, Recruiters searching it can see the professional profile you have chosen to make visible, your verified status and Signal Score, your target role, and your Openness Status. You control what goes into your visible profile and you can change it at any time. Your salary expectations are not shown to Recruiters unless you choose to put them in your visible profile. Your verified status and Signal Score are shown to Recruiters for as long as you are in the pool; if you do not want them shown, leave the pool under Section 5.2.

Two things to be aware of before you join. Ranking is ours, not yours: when a Recruiter searches the pool, our AI Systems order the results, and that ordering affects whether a given Recruiter sees you at all. And we cannot rule out that a Recruiter with access to the pool works for your current employer. If that matters to you — and for many people it will — consider what you make visible, and use your Openness Status accordingly.

Your Openness Status is yours to set:

• Active means you are looking now and are happy to be contacted.
• Selective means you are open to strong, well-matched approaches but not to general outreach.
• Passive means you are not looking and do not wish to be contacted about opportunities, though you remain in the pool for future reference.

We surface your Openness Status to Recruiters and our agreements require them to respect it. Setting your status to Passive is not the same as leaving the pool; if you want to be invisible, leave the pool under Section 5.2.

5.4 Your Signal Score, and your right to challenge it

The Signal Score is a number we generate using AI Systems to represent how strong and internally consistent the professional information we verified about you appears to be. It reflects what we were able to confirm at a point in time from imperfect data.

What the Signal Score is not. It is not a credit score. It is not a measure of your ability, character, integrity, or employability. It is not a prediction that you will or will not get any particular role. It is not a substitute for a Recruiter's own judgment, and our Recruiter agreements require Recruiters not to use it as the sole basis for rejecting a candidate.

Accuracy. We follow reasonable procedures designed to ensure that the information we verify and the scores we generate are as accurate as we can reasonably make them, and we correct inaccuracies we become aware of. This commitment is a term of these Terms, and the disclaimer in Section 18 does not apply to it.

Your right to see, correct, and dispute. On request, we will tell you the categories of information that fed into your Signal Score and the main factors that influenced it. If you believe your score, your verified status, or any verified information about you is wrong or incomplete, you can dispute it by writing to legal@skopusai.com. We will investigate, we will not simply re-run the same automated process, a qualified person will review the underlying information, and we will respond to you in writing within thirty (30) days with our conclusion and any correction we have made. If we correct information that was previously shown to a Recruiter, we will tell you, and where our records allow us to identify the Recruiters who saw the incorrect information we will notify them of the correction.

Improving the accuracy or completeness of your own profile after we explain what influenced your score is not a breach of Section 11, and we will not treat it as one.

Human review. If verification, scoring, or removal from the Verified Pool produces an outcome that has a significant effect on you, you may request review by a person with the competence and authority to change it, using the same address. Section 13 describes this right more fully. This right, and the dispute right above, continue to be available to you after your Account closes or is terminated.

5.5 Outreach and your contact information

While you are in the Verified Pool with an Openness Status of Active or Selective, Recruiters may contact you about opportunities. Depending on the features in use, outreach may be delivered through Skopus, or a Recruiter may contact you directly using their own email system.

You can stop Recruiter outreach at any time by setting your Openness Status to Passive or by leaving the Verified Pool. We enforce this in the product itself — Passive profiles are suppressed from the outreach tools Recruiters use — rather than relying only on Recruiters to respect the setting. Either change takes effect immediately for future outreach; neither can recall a message already sent.

6. The rest of the Services

Demand and market intelligence. We surface AI-generated signals about where hiring demand is concentrated right now — trending roles, sectors with hiring momentum, in-demand skills, geographic demand, and salary signals — drawn from job openings and other sources. These are estimates derived from data that varies in quality, coverage, and freshness.

Job listings sourced from third parties. Some listings and openings we surface originate from third-party sources, including company career sites and applicant-tracking systems. We do not verify that any listed role exists, remains open, or is accurately described. Listings may be stale, duplicated, altered, reposted, or withdrawn at the source without our knowledge. Verify a role at the source before relying on it.

Resume and career tools. We analyze Your Content to suggest edits, formatting, and keyword choices, and to generate an indicator estimating how a commonly used applicant-tracking system might parse a given resume (an "ATS Compatibility Indicator"). That indicator is our internal estimate. It does not reflect the actual scoring, ranking, or behavior of any particular applicant-tracking system, and no employer is bound by it or aware of it.

Recommendations. We generate personalized suggestions of roles, employers, sectors, skills, and learning resources.

Features under development. We may describe features that are not yet available. Descriptions of planned features are not commitments, and we may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. Where a change materially reduces functionality you are paying for, Section 20 explains what happens to your subscription.

7. Your Content, and the permission you give us

You are responsible for Your Content. You represent that you own it or have the rights necessary to provide it and to grant the permissions below, that it is accurate and not misleading, that it does not infringe or violate anyone's intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights, and that it does not include forged, altered, or fraudulently obtained documents or credentials.

What we may do with it. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, analyze, process, reformat for presentation and accessibility, and create derivative works from Your Content, for the following purposes and no others: to operate, secure, and improve the Services for you, including running verification, generating your Signal Score, and detecting fraud and abuse; to send Your Content to the identity, verification, payment, hosting, and similar service providers we use to deliver the Services, under contracts that limit them to that use; to create de-identified and aggregated datasets used for analytics, research, market and demand intelligence, and evaluating how well our systems work; to make Your Content available to Recruiters when — and only when — you have affirmatively chosen to make it visible under Section 5; and to meet our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce these Terms.

We will not train AI on your identifiable information without asking. We do not use identifiable personal information from Your Content to train, fine-tune, or develop AI Systems unless you have given separate, affirmative opt-in consent inside the Services. We may use de-identified and aggregated information derived from Your Content to train, evaluate, and improve AI Systems. Where we share or publish aggregated or de-identified data, we do so in de-identified form, we do not attempt to re-identify it, and we contractually prohibit recipients from attempting to re-identify it.

What happens when you delete. The licence to your identifiable Content ends when you delete that Content or close your Account, subject to reasonable periods needed to operate the Services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce these Terms, and subject to copies in routine backup archives until those archives are overwritten in the ordinary course. The licence to de-identified and aggregated data derived from Your Content continues after your Account closes.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions or ideas about the Services, we may use them for any purpose without compensation or attribution to you.

8. Electronic communications

By creating an Account you consent, under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.) and comparable state laws, to receive all communications, notices, agreements, and disclosures relating to the Services electronically — by email to the address on your Account, by notification inside the Services, or by posting on the Services.

To receive these you need a device and software able to receive and read email, view PDF documents, and save or print electronic records. If those requirements change in a way that creates a real risk you will not be able to access or keep our communications, we will tell you, remind you of your right to withdraw consent, and let you withdraw it without any fee or other consequence.

Withdrawing consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time by writing to legal@skopusai.com, or by closing your Account. Because we cannot operate the Services without being able to send you account and security notices electronically, withdrawing consent while keeping an open Account may mean we have to close it; we will tell you before we do. Withdrawing consent does not affect the validity of any record we already provided to you electronically.

You can request a paper copy of any specific electronic record at no charge by writing to legal@skopusai.com.

9. Email, push notifications, calls, and texts

Service messages. We will send you messages about your Account, security, verification, billing, and similar operational matters. You cannot opt out of these while your Account is open, because we cannot run the Services without them.

Marketing. With your consent, or where applicable law permits it without consent, we may send you marketing email and push notifications about roles, employers, features, and opportunities. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link that complies with the CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq.) and equivalent laws, and you can change your preferences in your Account settings at any time.

Calls and texts you asked for. If you give us a phone number for account security or verification — for example to receive one-time passcodes — we will use it to send you those messages and other messages necessary to operate your Account. Giving us a number for that purpose does not sign you up for anything else.

Marketing calls and texts require a separate opt-in. We will not send you marketing or promotional calls or text messages unless you have given us prior express written consent through a separate opt-in that we present to you specifically for that purpose, that identifies what you are agreeing to receive, and that you complete by signing or by an equivalent electronic act. Your consent to marketing calls and texts is never a condition of using the Services, of completing verification, or of any purchase, and we will not ask for it as one. We do not sell or pass your phone number to Recruiters or other third parties for their own marketing.

Stopping messages. Reply STOP to any text message to revoke your consent. We treat a reply of STOP, or any other reasonable expression of your wish to stop, as revoking consent for all automated calls and texts from us other than those we are legally permitted to send without consent, and we will honour it within ten (10) business days at the outside and in practice much sooner. Reply HELP for help. For calls placed with an artificial or prerecorded voice, the call itself will offer you an automated way to opt out. You can also write to support@skopusai.com at any time. Message and data rates may apply and message frequency varies. We maintain an internal do-not-call policy and will provide a copy on request.

This Section is in addition to, and does not limit, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227), the FCC's implementing rules, and applicable state telemarketing laws.

Marketing email. Every commercial email we send identifies itself as such, contains a valid physical postal address at which we can receive mail as the CAN-SPAM Act requires, and contains an opt-out mechanism that stays functional for at least thirty (30) days after we send the message and that costs you nothing to use. We honour email opt-outs within ten (10) business days.

10. We cannot and do not guarantee any employment outcome

Skopus is not an employer, an employment agency, a staffing agency, a recruiter, an educational institution, or a career counselor. We do not guarantee, promise, or warrant that you will receive any interview, offer, internship, promotion, raise, admission, or any other employment, educational, or career outcome as a result of using the Services. We make no representation that any demand signal, ATS Compatibility Indicator, resume suggestion, salary signal, Signal Score, verified status, or recommendation will improve your chances of any particular result.

Everything the Services generate is produced by automated and AI-assisted methods, is informational, and reflects probabilistic estimates from data available at a point in time. Hiring, compensation, and promotion decisions are made solely by independent Recruiters and employers, over whom we have no control and for whose decisions, conduct, and statements we are not responsible. Nothing in the Services creates an employment, agency, or partnership relationship between you and any Recruiter, or between you and Skopus.

11. Acceptable use

You will not, and will not attempt to:

• submit false, fraudulent, or materially misleading information, including fabricated or altered resumes, work history, credentials, certifications, identity documents, or references;
• impersonate any person, company, Recruiter, or Skopus itself, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
• create an Account or a profile for anyone other than yourself, or operate multiple Accounts to manipulate verification, scoring, or visibility;
• manipulate or game verification, the Signal Score, or ranking through false or misleading information, or interfere with how they operate for other users — improving the accuracy or completeness of your own profile is expressly not a breach of this restriction;
• scrape, crawl, harvest, index, or otherwise extract data from the Services by automated means, except for search-engine indexing of publicly accessible pages consistent with our robots.txt;
• use any data from the Services — including Content, Skopus Content, demand intelligence, AI System outputs, candidate information, or salary data — to develop, train, fine-tune, evaluate, or benchmark any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model, whether your own or anyone else's, without our prior written consent;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code, model weights, training data, or architecture of any AI System, except to the extent applicable law permits this regardless of this restriction;
• interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services, to any Account other than your own, or to any related system or network, or circumvent any rate limit, security measure, or anti-abuse mechanism;
• use the Services to harass, threaten, defame, discriminate against, dox, or stalk anyone, or to violate any anti-discrimination, employment, data-protection, telemarketing, or consumer-protection law;
• post or transmit Content that is unlawful, obscene, abusive, hateful, infringing, or otherwise objectionable; or
• encourage or help anyone else do any of the above.

Breaching this Section may result in suspension or termination of your Account under Section 21, and may give rise to the obligations in Section 22.

12. Intellectual property

As between you and Skopus, the Services and all Skopus Content — including our software, AI Systems and their outputs, trained parameters, documentation, design, look and feel, text, graphics, trademarks, service marks, logos, and the selection, compilation, and arrangement of our databases — belong to Siply Inc. or its licensors, and are protected by United States and international intellectual-property and database law, including any applicable database rights.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use the Services and Skopus Content for your own career-development purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, licence, publicly display, or create derivative works from the Services or Skopus Content except as these Terms expressly allow. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

13. AI Systems: how we use them, and your right to a human

The Services depend on AI Systems, and AI Systems get things wrong. They work from data that may be incomplete, out of date, or skewed; they do not reflect the actual practices of any particular employer or applicant-tracking system; and their outputs are estimates rather than findings. Check AI-generated output before you rely on it, and where a decision matters, get advice from a person qualified to give it.

Where we use AI. We use AI Systems to generate demand and market intelligence, resume suggestions, ATS Compatibility Indicators, role and career recommendations, verification and Signal Score outputs, candidate ranking and matching for Recruiters, and fraud and abuse detection.

What our AI does and does not decide. We do not make hiring decisions and our AI Systems do not make them — those are made by Recruiters and employers. We want to be straightforward about what our systems do affect, though: our ranking determines the order in which candidates appear to a Recruiter searching the Verified Pool, and that ordering influences who a Recruiter sees and therefore who they contact. Our Recruiter agreements require Recruiters to make their own assessment of each candidate and not to use the Signal Score or our ranking as the sole basis for rejecting anyone.

Automated employment decision tools. Where the Services are used in a jurisdiction that regulates automated employment decision tools — for example New York City's Local Law 144, which requires an independent bias audit, publication of a summary of its results, and advance notice to candidates; the Colorado law governing high-risk artificial-intelligence systems; or the high-risk provisions of the EU AI Act applicable to recruitment and candidate selection — we will comply with the obligations that apply to us in the role we occupy, and our Recruiter agreements require Recruiters to comply with those that apply to them as employers. Where a bias audit summary is required to be published, we publish it on our website.

Your right to human review. If an outcome on the Services has a legal or similarly significant effect on you — for example a verification result, removal or exclusion from the Verified Pool, a Signal Score you believe is wrong, or a fraud-related restriction on your Account — and that outcome was produced or materially influenced by an AI System, you may ask for review by a person. Write to legal@skopusai.com. A qualified reviewer with authority to change the outcome will consider your request without simply re-running the same automated process, will review the underlying information and the reasoning behind the output as far as it is operationally available, will give you the opportunity to give us your side and to correct inaccurate information about you, and will respond to you in writing with the outcome and any corrective action taken. We aim to respond within thirty (30) days.

No emotion inference and no social scoring. We do not use AI Systems to infer your emotions from facial expressions, voice, or similar signals in an employment or workplace context, and we do not perform social scoring of users based on personality or social behavior in ways that lead to detrimental treatment unrelated to the context in which the data was collected. These practices are prohibited in the European Union by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act), and we apply the prohibition everywhere we operate rather than only where it is required.

If you are in Illinois. Where AI Systems are used to influence or facilitate employment-related decisions concerning you — including recruitment, hiring, promotion, selection for training, discipline, discharge, or the terms and conditions of employment — this paragraph is notice that we use AI Systems in that way, as contemplated by the Illinois Human Rights Act as amended by House Bill 3773. We do not use zip code as a proxy for any class protected under that Act in our matching or ranking systems.

If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom. Where a decision concerning you is made by, or materially influenced by, an AI System and produces a legal or similarly significant effect on you, you may ask us for a clear and meaningful explanation of the role that system played in the decision and of the main elements of the decision. Write to privacy@skopusai.com. We provide this on request as a matter of policy, and in the European Union in the manner contemplated by Article 86 of the EU AI Act as it comes into application.

14. Recruiters, employers, and other third parties

The Services let you make Content available to Recruiters, and may link to or integrate with third-party websites, applications, and services — including email providers, applicant-tracking systems, and identity and verification providers.

We do not control, endorse, or vet any Recruiter's hiring practices, employment decisions, conduct, or statements, and we are not responsible for them, or for any third-party service. Any application, interview, offer, or employment relationship you enter into with a Recruiter or employer is solely between you and them. Our role is limited to providing the Services described in these Terms.

Our agreements with Recruiters require them to handle your information lawfully and confidentially, to respect your Openness Status, and to delete your information when they no longer have a lawful basis to hold it. Those agreements are between us and the Recruiter, and this Section does not give you contractual rights under them — but it also does not limit any rights you have against a Recruiter under applicable law, which in many places includes privacy, data-protection, and anti-discrimination rights you can enforce directly.

If you believe a Recruiter has misused your information, tell us at legal@skopusai.com. We investigate these reports, and we can and do suspend or remove a Recruiter's access. We are responsible to you for our own conduct and our own breaches of these Terms; we are not responsible for a Recruiter's independent misconduct, and nothing in these Terms should be read as us accepting responsibility for it or as us promising a particular outcome from our investigation.

15. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy, available at /privacy, explains what personal information we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and what rights you have depending on where you live. It also covers cookies and similar technologies.

The Privacy Policy is a notice rather than a term of this contract, and nothing in it reduces the commitments we make to you in these Terms. But the following are commitments under these Terms and not only under that notice, and we will honour them regardless of any later change to the Privacy Policy: you may access a copy of the personal information we hold about you; you may correct it; you may delete Your Content and close your Account as described in Sections 7 and 21; and we will not use identifiable personal information from Your Content to train AI Systems without your separate opt-in consent as described in Section 7.

Where verification involves information requiring separate consent under applicable law — including identity documents and any biometric information as described in Section 5.1 — we will ask for that consent separately and specifically at the time, and that consent will govern.

16. Subscriptions, billing, renewal, and cancellation

Plans and price. The Services include a free tier with usage limits. Skopus Pro costs $13.99 per month. Other paid plans and products are not yet available; where we describe them as coming soon, no charge applies until we launch them and you separately choose to buy them at the price then disclosed to you.

Automatic renewal — please read. Skopus Pro is a subscription that renews automatically. The price is $13.99 per month. Your subscription renews every month and your payment method will be charged $13.99 for each new month, indefinitely, until you cancel. You may cancel at any time, online, as described below.

We present these renewal terms to you again, clearly and next to the button you press to subscribe, before we take your billing information and before your first charge, and we take your affirmative consent to them at that point rather than relying on your acceptance of these Terms. After you subscribe we send you an acknowledgment you can keep, which repeats the renewal terms, states the cancellation policy in this Section, and explains how to cancel.

If we make a material change to the renewal terms, including a price change, we will tell you by email in advance, within the period applicable law requires, and the notice will explain how to cancel and will be in a form you can keep. A price change applies only to billing periods beginning after that notice; if you do not want to pay the new price, cancel before it takes effect. For any plan with a term of one year or longer, and for any free trial or promotional period longer than thirty-one days, we will send you a reminder before the plan renews or converts to a paid charge, within the period applicable law requires.

How to cancel. You can cancel at any time, online, in your Account settings, without calling or emailing anyone. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You keep Pro access until then, and you are not charged again.

Refunds. Except where applicable law requires otherwise — including consumer-protection laws that give you statutory refund or cooling-off rights, which these Terms do not limit — fees already paid are not refunded, and we do not pro-rate the unused part of a billing period after cancellation.

We do refund in these situations: if we materially reduce the functionality of a paid plan during a period you have paid for; if we terminate or suspend your Account and do not substantiate the breach we relied on; and if we suspend your paid features for more than a few days for a reason that is not your breach, in which case we will credit or refund the affected part of the period. This obligation survives the end of these Terms, including where termination by us is what triggers it.

Payment. You authorize us and our payment processors to charge your payment method for amounts due, and you agree to keep your billing details current. If a charge is declined, we may retry it and may suspend paid features until payment succeeds. Nothing here limits your right to dispute a charge with your card issuer or bank, and we will not suspend your Account or your paid features because you exercise that right. Where we see a pattern of chargebacks together with continued use of paid features, or other indications of fraud or abuse, we may suspend paid features and pursue amounts owed by lawful means. Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude taxes, which we will add where we are required to collect them.

17. Copyright and the DMCA

If you believe Content on the Services infringes a copyright you own or control, send a notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent — Siply Inc. (Skopus AI)

Email: legal@skopusai.com

Your notice must include your physical or electronic signature; identification of the work you say is infringed; identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it; your contact information; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the rightsholder.

We respond to valid notices in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, including by removing or disabling the material where appropriate and notifying the person who posted it. We terminate the Accounts of repeat infringers. If you believe your Content was removed by mistake, you may send a counter-notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

18. Disclaimer of warranties

This disclaimer does not apply to, and does not cut back, the express commitments we make elsewhere in these Terms — in particular the accuracy, correction, dispute, and human-review commitments in Sections 5.4 and 13, the visibility commitments in Section 5.2, the limits on our use of Your Content in Section 7, and the billing commitments in Section 16. Those are express terms, and we stand behind them.

19. Limitation of liability

Exceptions. Nothing in this Section limits or excludes liability for: fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; gross negligence or willful misconduct; death or personal injury caused by negligence; infringement or misappropriation of the other party's intellectual property; your obligation to pay fees you lawfully owe; or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

For clarity, the following are outside the cap and the exclusions in this Section: statutory damages, multiple or punitive damages, and mandatory attorneys' fees awarded under a consumer-protection, privacy, biometric-privacy, or telemarketing statute; and any refund we owe you under Section 16. Your indemnity obligations under Section 22 are subject to the limit stated in that Section.

We and you acknowledge that these limits are a fundamental part of the bargain in these Terms.

20. If we change or discontinue the Services

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features of the Services at any time. Where a change materially reduces functionality that is part of a paid plan you are currently paying for, we will give you notice by email, and you may cancel and receive a refund of the unused portion of your current billing period as described in Section 16.

21. Suspension and termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the Services.

You may stop at any time by closing your Account in your settings, or by writing to support@skopusai.com.

We may suspend or terminate your Account or your access to any part of the Services if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, submitted false or fraudulent information, put other users at risk, or acted in a way that exposes us to legal or operational harm. Where it is reasonably practicable and would not undermine an investigation or breach a legal obligation, we will tell you why and give you an opportunity to respond and to request human review under Section 13.

What survives. When these Terms end, your right to use the Services ends. The following survive: Section 2 (Definitions, so that the surviving provisions can be read); Section 5.4 (your right to see, correct, and dispute verified information and your Signal Score, and to human review — these matter most when your Account has been closed or terminated, so they continue to be available to you); Section 7 (as to the surviving licence to de-identified and aggregated data and to feedback, and as to the limits on our use of Your Content); Sections 10, 11, and 12; Section 13 (your right to human review); Section 14; Section 15 (the commitments stated there); Section 16 (as to fees owed for periods before termination and as to any refund we owe you); and Sections 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28. Ending these Terms does not release you from obligations you incurred before they ended.

22. Indemnification

You will indemnify Siply Inc., its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the "Skopus Parties") against third-party claims, and related liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent they arise out of: false, fraudulent, or materially misleading information you submitted, including during verification; Content you provided that infringes or misappropriates someone else's intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights; your breach of Section 11 (Acceptable use); or your violation of applicable law in connection with the Services.

Limits on this obligation. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own act, omission, negligence, or breach of these Terms, or from how we operate the Services, generate scores or rankings, or handle your information. If you are an individual consumer, your total liability under this Section will not exceed ten thousand U.S. dollars ($10,000), except in the case of your own fraud or willful misconduct, for which no limit applies. Nothing in this Section requires you to indemnify us against a claim we could have avoided by complying with these Terms or with applicable law.

We will notify you promptly in writing of any claim we ask you to indemnify, and we will not settle a claim in a way that imposes an obligation or an admission on you without your consent. We may choose to control the defense and settlement of the claim with counsel of our choosing, in which case you will cooperate reasonably with us and we will bear your reasonable out-of-pocket costs of cooperating. Nothing here prevents us from taking part in the defense at our own expense.

23. Resolving disputes: informal resolution, then individual arbitration

Please read this Section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to go to court and to participate in a class action.

23.1 Talk to us first

Before either of us starts arbitration or, except for the applications described in Section 23.4, court proceedings, you and we agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. This obligation is mutual and binds us as much as it binds you. Send us a written notice describing the dispute and what you want, by email to legal@skopusai.com. We will send any notice to you at the email address on your Account. The thirty days run from receipt. Statutes of limitation and any filing deadlines are paused while this process runs.

23.2 Individual arbitration

Except as Section 23.4 provides, any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Skopus arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by this Section. Arbitration will be conducted in English by a single neutral arbitrator, on documents, by telephone, or by videoconference, unless the arbitrator orders an in-person hearing for good cause — in which case it will take place in the county where you live or another mutually agreed location.

The arbitrator decides threshold questions of arbitrability, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement — except that a court, not the arbitrator, decides whether an arbitration agreement was formed at all, and decides any question about the enforceability of the class-action waiver in Section 23.3.

Who pays. We pay all AAA administrative fees and all arbitrator fees and expenses, except that you pay the portion of the initial filing fee equal to what it would cost you to file the same claim in the state court where you live, and except that the arbitrator may allocate fees differently if they find your claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. Each of us bears our own attorneys' fees, unless a statute or the arbitrator's award provides otherwise. If we fail to pay the fees we owe within the time the AAA requires, you may treat that as a material breach of this Section, withdraw from arbitration, and bring your claim in court. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

23.3 Class-action and representative-action waiver

Nothing in this Section waives any right that cannot lawfully be waived, including under the California Private Attorneys General Act (Cal. Lab. Code § 2698 et seq.). To the extent such a claim is asserted against us even though we are not your employer, the individual part of the claim proceeds in arbitration and any non-individual or representative part is stayed pending its outcome.

23.4 What is not covered

Either of us may bring an individual action in small-claims court for a claim within that court's jurisdiction. You may bring a small-claims action in the county or judicial district where you live, and Section 24 does not require you to bring it in Delaware. Either of us may also seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to stop actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or a breach of Section 11, and either of us may pursue any claim that applicable law does not permit to be arbitrated.

Claims for public injunctive relief. Nothing in this Section 23 waives, or is intended to waive, your right to seek public injunctive relief where applicable law gives you that right and does not permit it to be waived. A claim for public injunctive relief may be brought in court, and if you bring one, it will be stayed while your individual claims are arbitrated. This paragraph is severable from the rest of Section 23: if it is held invalid, the remainder of Section 23, including Section 23.3, remains in effect.

Sexual-harassment and sexual-assault claims. As provided by the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act (9 U.S.C. § 402), if you assert a claim relating to sexual assault or sexual harassment, you may choose not to arbitrate it and to bring it in court instead, and the class-action waiver in Section 23.3 does not apply to it.

We are not your employer. Nothing in this Section applies to, waives, or limits any claim arising from an actual employment relationship between you and any Recruiter or employer. This arbitration agreement covers only disputes between you and Skopus about your use of the Services.

23.5 Many similar claims at once

If twenty-five (25) or more arbitration demands of substantially similar character are filed against us by or with the coordination of the same law firm or coordinated counsel within a sixty (60) day period, those arbitrations will be sequenced under the AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules then in effect, and as follows. An initial group of bellwether cases proceeds first — up to ten chosen by each side, or fewer if fewer are available — and the rest are stayed. If the total number of demands does not exceed the number of bellwether cases, this Section does not apply and every case proceeds normally. After the bellwether cases conclude, the parties will take part in a single mediation of the remaining cases, facilitated by the AAA or supervised by a court. Filing and arbitrator fees for the bellwether cases are allocated under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules; stayed cases incur no fees until they proceed, and the parties will work with the AAA in good faith to allocate fees fairly. Statutes of limitation are paused for the stayed cases throughout. No claim may be stayed under this Section for more than three hundred and sixty-five (365) days; if your arbitration has not commenced by then, you may elect to withdraw from arbitration and bring your claim in small-claims court or in court, and we will not object on the basis of this Section 23. Nothing in this Section limits any individual claimant's right to relief on the merits of their own claim, or waives any individual claim, and no bellwether award binds any other claimant.

23.6 You can opt out of arbitration

You may opt out of this Section 23 entirely. Write to legal@skopusai.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, including your name, your Account email address, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. If we later make a material change to this Section 23, you get a fresh thirty (30) day window to opt out, running from the date we notify you of the change; if you do not opt out in that window, the changed version applies to disputes arising after it takes effect. If you opt out, neither you nor we have to arbitrate, and disputes are resolved in court as Section 24 provides. Opting out has no other effect on your Account or your use of the Services, and we will not treat you differently for doing it.

24. Governing law and where claims are heard

These Terms, and any dispute relating to them or to the Services that is not subject to arbitration, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Subject to Section 23, the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes not subject to arbitration, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum. This does not apply to small-claims actions, which you may bring where you live under Section 23.4.

Your home-state and home-country rights are preserved. Nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of a consumer-protection, privacy, biometric-privacy, or telemarketing statute of the state or country where you live that cannot be waived or displaced by agreement — including, for example and without limitation, the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act, and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act — or of the right that the mandatory law of your home jurisdiction gives you to bring proceedings there. Where such a law applies, it applies notwithstanding the choice of Delaware law above.

25. Export controls and sanctions

The Services may be subject to United States export-control and sanctions laws, including the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. Parts 730–774) and sanctions administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. You will not export, re-export, or transfer the Services, directly or indirectly, to any destination, person, or end use those laws prohibit, and you will not access the Services from any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions.

26. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms. If we make a material change, we will give you notice inside the Services or by email to the address on your Account before it takes effect, and we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes do not apply retroactively to disputes that arose before the change took effect. Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Services and close your Account.

Three things cannot be changed this way, because they need your specific agreement rather than your continued use: the renewal terms of a paid subscription, which we handle as Section 16 describes; your consent to marketing calls and texts, which we handle as Section 9 describes; and Section 23, a material change to which reopens your opt-out window under Section 23.6.

27. General

Entire agreement. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Skopus about the Services and replace any earlier understanding on that subject.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable, or if it cannot be, it will be severed, and the rest of these Terms remains in full force.

The class-action and representative-action waiver in Section 23.3 works differently, and this is what we mean by it. The waiver may not be severed from the agreement to arbitrate. If the waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim is not subject to arbitration and must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction — but the agreement to arbitrate continues to apply to every other claim, every other provision of Section 23 continues to apply, and the rest of these Terms is unaffected. The carve-out for claims for public injunctive relief in Section 23.4 is severable and its invalidity does not affect Section 23.3.

No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision of these Terms, that is not a waiver of it or of any other provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, or sale of assets, or otherwise — but on the condition that the party taking over is bound by these Terms as we are, including the visibility commitments in Section 5.2, the limits on our use of Your Content and the AI-training opt-in in Section 7, and the commitments in Section 15. We will tell you before your information transfers to a new controller as part of such a transaction, and you may close your Account and delete Your Content before it takes effect.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disaster, fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor dispute, internet or utility outage, third-party service failure, cyber attack, ransomware, denial-of-service attack, or government action.

Relationship. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between you and Skopus.

Notices. We may give you notice by email to the address on your Account, by notification inside the Services, or by posting on the Services. You may give us notice by email to legal@skopusai.com, and notice is effective when we receive it. If you need to serve us with formal legal process, you may do so through our registered agent in the State of Delaware, whose details are on the public record of the Delaware Division of Corporations.

Interpretation. Headings are for convenience and do not affect meaning. "Including" means "including without limitation." Dollar amounts are U.S. dollars.

Third-party beneficiaries. Except as these Terms expressly state, there are no third-party beneficiaries.
