Terms and Conditions

Acceptance of these terms

These Terms and Conditions apply to your access to and use of tailorforge.com, including its articles, guides, examples, frameworks, prompts, checklists, and other educational resources.

By accessing or using TailorForge, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should not use the site.

If you are not legally able to enter into an agreement on your own in the jurisdiction where you live, you should use TailorForge only with the involvement and permission of a parent, guardian, or other person legally authorized to act for you.

Educational purpose of TailorForge

TailorForge is an educational career resource. Its content is intended to help users better understand job-search and career-development topics, including resume writing, resume tailoring, applicant tracking systems (ATS), keywords, cover letters, interviewing, and the use of artificial intelligence tools in career workflows.

TailorForge content is general information, not individualized professional advice. Nothing on the site creates an employment, recruiting, coaching, consulting, legal, fiduciary, or other professional relationship between you and TailorForge.

Your responsibility for applications and career decisions

You are responsible for reviewing, verifying, and deciding whether to use any information, examples, suggestions, prompts, templates, or other material found on TailorForge.

In particular, you are responsible for ensuring that:

• your resume, cover letter, application, and interview statements are truthful;
• dates, titles, credentials, achievements, skills, and metrics are accurate;
• you do not claim experience, qualifications, or results you do not actually have;
• your application complies with an employer's instructions and applicable rules; and
• you independently evaluate career, compensation, employment, and hiring decisions.

TailorForge does not review or approve your final application materials unless a specific service expressly states otherwise.

AI tools, prompts, and generated content

TailorForge may discuss artificial intelligence products, provide example prompts, or demonstrate ways AI can assist with career-related tasks. AI systems can produce inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, misleading, or fabricated information.

You should treat AI-generated material as a draft or input to your own work, not as an automatically reliable final answer. Before using AI-generated resume, cover-letter, interview, or job-search content, verify every factual claim against your real experience and circumstances.

Third-party AI services are operated independently from TailorForge and are subject to their own terms, privacy policies, usage limits, and data-handling practices. TailorForge does not control those services or guarantee their availability, security, accuracy, pricing, features, or results.

TailorForge content and intellectual property

Unless otherwise indicated, the TailorForge website and its original content, presentation, branding, written materials, frameworks, graphics, layouts, and other site elements are owned by or licensed to TailorForge and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

References to third-party products, company names, trademarks, research, or services remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on TailorForge does not imply ownership by TailorForge.

Permitted personal use

You may use TailorForge's publicly available educational material for your own personal, non-commercial career development and job-search activities. This includes using ideas, checklists, prompts, and techniques to create or improve your own application materials.

You may also link to TailorForge pages or share brief excerpts when the use is lawful, accurately attributed, and does not misleadingly suggest that TailorForge endorses you, your business, or your services.

Prohibited use

You may not use TailorForge in a way that violates applicable law or interferes with the site or other users. Prohibited uses include:

• copying or republishing substantial portions of TailorForge content as your own;
• selling, licensing, or commercially redistributing TailorForge content without permission;
• removing copyright, attribution, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
• attempting to gain unauthorized access to the site, servers, systems, or data;
• introducing malicious code, automated abuse, denial-of-service activity, or other harmful technology;
• using the site to violate another person's intellectual-property, privacy, or other rights; or
• misrepresenting an affiliation with or endorsement by TailorForge.

Reasonable use of standard search-engine indexing and ordinary browser access is not prohibited by this section.

Third-party websites, products, and external links

TailorForge may link to or discuss third-party websites, AI platforms, job boards, employers, software, publications, research, or other resources. These references are provided for information and convenience.

TailorForge does not control third-party websites or services and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices, terms, pricing, accuracy, or actions. A link or reference does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.

Your use of a third-party service is governed by the terms and policies of that service.

Website availability and changes

We may add, remove, update, reorganize, or discontinue TailorForge content or features at any time. We do not guarantee that every page, link, resource, example, or feature will remain continuously available.

We may also correct errors or update material as hiring practices, technology, AI products, or other subjects discussed on the site evolve.

Disclaimers

TailorForge and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We make no guarantee that the site or its content will be error-free, complete, current, uninterrupted, or suitable for every user's circumstances.

TailorForge does not guarantee that following any resume, ATS, cover-letter, interview, AI, or job-search recommendation will result in a particular ATS score, recruiter response, interview, job offer, compensation level, promotion, or other employment outcome.

Examples on the site are illustrative. They should be adapted to your actual background and should never be used to create false or misleading claims about your experience.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, TailorForge will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or similar damages arising from or relating to your use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site or its content.

This includes, without limitation, decisions involving employment applications, interviews, career opportunities, use of third-party services, loss of data, or reliance on information that later proves incomplete or inaccurate.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability. Where those laws apply, these limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law.

Changes to these Terms and Conditions

We may update these Terms and Conditions when TailorForge's content, features, practices, or legal obligations change. The revised "Last updated" date will appear near the top of this page.

Your continued use of TailorForge after updated terms become effective means you accept the updated terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

General terms

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

A failure by TailorForge to enforce a provision of these terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, describe the general terms governing use of the TailorForge website. Additional terms may apply if TailorForge later introduces a specific product, service, account, purchase, or other feature with separate terms.
