2. Nature of Service

CareerDad is a software tool designed to assist users in optimizing their curriculum vitae (CV) and preparing for job interviews using Artificial Intelligence (AI).Important: We are a technology provider, not a recruitment agency. We do not guarantee employment, job interviews, or specific career outcomes. The success of any job application depends on factors outside our control.

3. Artificial Intelligence Disclaimer

The Service utilizes third-party AI models (including OpenAI) to generate content. By using the Service, you acknowledge that:

  • AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or "hallucinations."
  • You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and editing all documents and advice generated by the Service before submitting them to potential employers.
  • We accept no liability for any rejection, loss of opportunity, or reputational damage resulting from your use of the generated content.

4. User Accounts and Credits

To access certain features, you must purchase "Credits" or a subscription.

  • Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials (via Google Firebase Auth).
  • Credits: Credits purchased are for internal use within the App only. They have no monetary value outside the Service and cannot be transferred to other users.
  • Expiry: We reserve the right to expire unused credits if an account remains inactive for 12 months.

All payments are processed securely by Yoco Technologies (Pty) Ltd.
