Cover your App

Terms of Service

Effective · Office for Visual Affairs, LLC

The short version: Cover your App is a free beta tool for tracking your own job search. Your data is yours; you are responsible for what you store and what you send to employers; AI drafts are suggestions you must review; and we provide the Service as-is. The full terms follow.

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and Office for Visual Affairs, LLC (“Office for Visual Affairs”, “we”, “us”),19 Morris Ave, Brooklyn, New York 11205, USA. They govern your use of Cover your App, including the web application at https://cover-your-app.vercel.app, its API, and the Cover your App browser extension (together, the “Service”).

By signing in or otherwise using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your data. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. By using it you confirm that you meet these requirements. The Service is not directed at children.

3. The Service and its beta status

Cover your App is a personal job-application tracker. It lets you save job listings to a board, track the status of each application, follow companies’ careers pages, keep notes and contacts, and store cover letters. Some features are optional and described in more detail below: connecting a Gmail account to match employer replies to your applications, and generating cover-letter drafts with an AI model using your own API key.

The Service is currently offered as a beta. Features may be added, changed, limited or removed at any time, sometimes without notice. We may pause the Service for maintenance. We do our best to keep your data safe, but a beta is not a system of record: keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.

4. Your account

You sign in with a Google account. We do not offer passwords; your Google credentials are never shared with us. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account and for keeping your Google account secure.

The Service can issue access tokens for the browser extension. A token grants the same access to your board as your signed-in session. Treat tokens like passwords: do not share them, and sign out or contact us if you believe one has been exposed.

You must give us accurate information and may not impersonate anyone else.

5. Your content

“Your Content” means everything you put into the Service or that the Service stores for you: job listings and their text, notes, contacts, company lists, cover letters, profile and résumé material, and any email data you choose to connect.

You own Your Content. We claim no ownership of it. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, display and transmit Your Content only as needed to operate, secure and improve the Service for you, and to comply with law. This licence ends when Your Content is deleted from the Service, except for backups that expire in the normal course.

You are responsible for Your Content. You confirm that you have the right to store it in the Service and that doing so does not infringe anyone else’s rights.

6. AI-generated drafts

If you enable cover-letter generation, the Service sends the relevant job listing, your profile material and your instructions to a third-party AI model (currently Anthropic) and returns a draft. AI output can be inaccurate, generic or inappropriate. Drafts are suggestions, not advice. You are responsible for reviewing, editing and deciding whether to send anything the Service generates, and for its accuracy and truthfulness when you do.

Generation uses your own API key. Usage is billed by the AI provider directly to you under that provider’s terms, and you are responsible for keeping your key within that provider’s rules. We store your key encrypted and use it only to make requests on your behalf. You can remove it at any time.

7. Gmail connection

You may optionally connect a Gmail account so the Service can find replies from employers and attach them to the matching job on your board. The connection is read-only: the Service never sends, modifies or deletes email. You can disconnect at any time from Settings or from your Google account’s security page.

Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The Privacy Policy describes exactly what we read and store.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service for anything unlawful, or to store content you have no right to;
  • access another person’s account or data, or probe, scan or test the Service’s security without our written permission;
  • use the Service’s listing and careers-page fetching to scrape sites at a volume or in a way that violates those sites’ terms or burdens them;
  • interfere with the Service, circumvent rate limits or access controls, or introduce malicious code;
  • resell, sublicense or provide the Service to third parties;
  • reverse engineer or copy the Service except where the law allows this despite these Terms.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules.

9. Third-party sites and services

The Service fetches job listings and careers pages from sites you point it at, and shows you their content. Those sites and their listings are not ours. We do not verify them and are not responsible for their accuracy, availability or terms. Applying for a job happens on the employer’s or job board’s own site, under its rules.

Your use of Google sign-in, Gmail and any AI provider is also subject to those companies’ terms.

10. Fees

The Service is free during the beta. If we introduce paid plans, we will tell you in advance, and nothing you already use will start costing money without your explicit agreement. Costs charged by third parties under your own accounts (for example AI-provider usage) are always yours.

11. Our intellectual property

The Service, its software, design, name and logo belong to Office for Visual Affairs or our licensors. These Terms give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service; they do not give you any other rights in it. Feedback you send us may be used without obligation to you.

12. Termination and deletion

You can stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account and all Your Content, email frontdesk@officeforvisualaffairs.com from the address on your account; we complete deletion within 30 days as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Where reasonably possible we will give you notice and a chance to export Your Content first. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law) survive.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST, THAT LISTINGS OR EMAIL MATCHES WILL BE ACCURATE, OR THAT USING THE SERVICE WILL LEAD TO ANY EMPLOYMENT OUTCOME. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OFFICE FOR VISUAL AFFAIRS, LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OPPORTUNITIES OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100). NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.

15. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify Office for Visual Affairs against claims, damages and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we will change the effective date above and, for material changes, notify you in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service and ask us to delete your account.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kings County, New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose law gives you rights that cannot be waived, those rights are not affected.

Before filing any claim, please email us at frontdesk@officeforvisualaffairs.com; most issues can be sorted out quickly and informally.

18. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of the Service, and will notify you if we do.
