Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using PitchMe (the “Service”), operated by PitchMe (“we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.

2. What PitchMe Is

PitchMe is an evidence-first hiring platform. Candidates build a profile of claims backed by evidence — public GitHub activity and reviewed work samples, supported by endorsements, and similar sources. Each claim’s state is computed from stored evidence and is never set by hand, by you or by us. Candidates may use the Service self-serve (searching and applying to roles; if open to work and with a pitch video, they can be found by name by recruiters browsing candidates) or in agent mode (consenting to be put forward anonymously for roles their evidence covers). Employers can browse candidates who are open to work, define role requirements, and, in agent mode, receive anonymous, unordered slates of candidates with evidence memos. Interview requests, confirmations, and hiring decisions are made by people, not by the platform.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old. Candidates must be currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a college or university. Recruiters must represent a legitimate employer or staffing organization and may use the Service only for lawful hiring purposes.

4. Accounts

You are responsible for your account credentials and for activity under your account. Provide accurate information and keep it current. One account per person; no shared accounts. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in fraudulent activity.

5. Evidence Integrity

The value of PitchMe depends on evidence being real. You agree not to:

• Fabricate, manipulate, or misrepresent evidence, claims, credentials, or identity
• Submit work samples that are not your own work, or complete them on someone else’s behalf
• Solicit or provide false endorsements, or exchange endorsements for payment or reciprocity
• Connect evidence sources (e.g. GitHub accounts) that are not yours or that contain manufactured activity
• Attempt to manipulate evidence, claim states, matching, or slate assembly, including through content designed to influence automated systems

We may remove evidence, recompute claim statuses, and suspend or terminate accounts involved in evidence fraud. Endorsers submit statements truthfully and on their own behalf.

6. Recruiter Obligations

• Post only genuine, currently open roles with accurate requirements
• Use candidate information solely to evaluate candidates for the role it was provided for
• Do not attempt to identify anonymous candidates outside the platform’s reveal flow
• Comply with all applicable employment, anti-discrimination, and data protection laws
• You are the decision-maker: evidence memos and slates are decision support, and you are responsible for your own hiring decisions and any legally required notices in your jurisdiction

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful, harassing, or discriminatory purpose
• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-extract data from the Service
• Probe, disrupt, or circumvent security or access controls
• Upload malicious code or content designed to interfere with automated systems
• Impersonate any person or organization

8. Your Content

You retain ownership of the content you submit — your profile, videos, work samples, and messages. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, and display that content as needed to operate the Service (including generating transcripts, claim states, and evidence memos from it). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for what the Privacy Policy says stays (messages in the other person’s inbox and the record that you shared something with an employer) and where retention is required by law. You are responsible for having the rights to anything you submit.

9. AI-Generated Content

Parts of the Service — evidence memos, work-sample scoring, transcripts, agent conversations — are generated with AI. We design these systems to cite only stored evidence and to state gaps plainly rather than fill them in, but AI output can contain errors. Recruiters should review cited evidence before acting on a memo, and candidates should review AI-drafted content before relying on it. PitchMe does not show recruiters a score, rating or rank that it computes about a person. Lists may be ordered by how closely a profile’s text overlaps a role; the order is not a judgement. A GPA a candidate enters is shown as entered.

10. No Guarantee of Outcomes

PitchMe does not guarantee that candidates will receive slate placements, interviews, or offers, or that employers will find suitable candidates. We are a platform, not an employer, staffing agency, or party to any employment relationship formed through the Service.

11. Termination

You may delete your account at any time in Settings. We may suspend or terminate your access for violations of these Terms, with notice where practicable. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 8, 12, and 13) survive.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that claim states are free of error — a claim’s state reflects the evidence available to us at the time it is computed.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PitchMe will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or opportunities, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. We will post changes here and update the date above; material changes will be announced in the product. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing Law & Contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles. Questions: hello@getpitchme.io
