Legal

Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of OwlSearch, OwlApply, its desktop client, and your shared Owl Hired account.

Last updated September 8, 2026

Your agreement with us

By creating an account, purchasing a plan, or using Owl Hired, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cancellation & Refund Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service. You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter into this agreement.

What Owl Hired provides

OwlSearch helps people discover, filter, save, and compare job opportunities. OwlApply helps prepare, queue, submit, and organize applications on supported employer websites. Features and supported platforms may change or be released gradually, including as previews or beta features.

Owl Hired is not an employer, recruiter, staffing agency, or representative of the companies shown. We do not make hiring decisions and cannot promise a listing is available or that you will receive an interview, response, offer, or other outcome.

Jobs, applications, and automation

  • Listings are collected from third-party sources and can change, expire, contain errors, or differ from the employer’s original posting.
  • You are responsible for confirming that a role, employer, location, compensation statement, and application are genuine and appropriate for you.
  • You must keep your profile, qualifications, identity, work history, and application answers accurate and truthful.
  • Automation runs only after you enable it or queue an application. Your searches, exclusions, match threshold, pace, and account state determine what may be queued.
  • You remain responsible for reviewing your saved facts and automation settings. Employers control their forms, communications, screening, and decisions.

AI-assisted features

Match scores, explanations, resume imports, suggested answers, and generated text assist your judgment; they are not professional advice, eligibility decisions, or employer representations. They may be incomplete or wrong. OwlApply is designed not to invent required personal facts, but you must review your information before it is used.

Your account, credentials, and content

  • Keep sign-in details and paired devices secure and notify us if you suspect unauthorized access.
  • You retain ownership of the resumes and information you provide and grant us limited permission to host, process, reproduce, and transmit them only as needed to operate the features you use.
  • Only upload content you own or are allowed to use.
  • If you connect a mailbox, LinkedIn account, or other third-party account, you confirm it belongs to you, you are permitted to use it this way, and the information supplied is accurate.
  • You authorize us and the paired desktop client to use connected credentials solely for the application, verification, or mailbox actions you request.

Desktop software

We grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the OwlApply desktop client with your account. You may not reverse engineer, redistribute, sell, bypass security or update controls, or use the client to access accounts or applications without authorization, except where applicable law does not permit that restriction.

The client may require updates to remain compatible or secure. Your computer must remain available and connected while applications run. A lost connection, sleeping device, employer-site change, or visible security challenge may pause or stop work.

Acceptable use

You must not:

  • Misrepresent your identity, experience, qualifications, location, or right to work.
  • Access another person’s account, submit applications without authority, or interfere with Owl Hired’s security or operation.
  • Upload harmful, unlawful, deceptive, or infringing content.
  • Evade quotas, rate limits, fraud controls, CAPTCHAs, or employer safeguards, or use automation not provided or authorized by Owl Hired.
  • Scrape, copy, resell, or republish substantial parts of the service or use it to build a competing dataset without permission.

Paid plans and payment providers

OwlSearch is currently available without a paid subscription. OwlApply paid plans are recurring monthly or yearly subscriptions. Before checkout, we show the plan, billing interval, included usage, price, currency, payment provider, and any validated discount. PayPal checkouts are billed in USD and Razorpay checkouts in INR. Prices or plan features may change prospectively; changes do not alter an already-paid period unless you agree or law requires it.

By completing checkout, you authorize PayPal or Razorpay, as selected, to charge the displayed amount at the displayed interval until cancellation, expiry, or other termination. The provider’s own agreement and privacy terms also govern its payment service. We do not store complete payment-instrument credentials. Taxes or provider charges, if applicable, will be disclosed at checkout or by the provider.

  • Paid access begins only after the provider confirms activation. A pending or failed checkout does not create paid entitlement.
  • Failed, reversed, disputed, suspended, or fraudulent payments may pause or end paid access while the status is resolved.
  • Coupons are subject to their displayed eligibility, duration, limits, and expiration and have no cash value.
  • Clearly labelled beta or sandbox checkouts use provider test environments, do not charge real money, and do not create a claim to paid-service value.
  • Changing paid plans may require cancelling the current subscription and purchasing the new plan.

Cancellation and refunds

You can cancel through your billing dashboard or contact support if those controls are unavailable. You may normally keep access through the paid period or choose to end access immediately. Cancelling stops future renewal but does not refund a completed charge. All purchases are final and non-refundable to the fullest extent permitted by law, as described in our Cancellation & Refund Policy.

Deleting your Owl Hired account is not a substitute for cancelling a subscription. Cancel first so the payment provider receives the instruction.

Third-party services and availability

Employer sites, applicant-tracking systems, Google, PayPal, Razorpay, connected mailboxes, and other services are independent of Owl Hired and have their own terms. Their changes, blocks, errors, outages, or decisions may affect features. Owl Hired may detect a security challenge and stop rather than attempt to bypass it.

We may modify, pause, or discontinue features, impose reasonable limits, or suspend accounts that create risk or violate these Terms. We aim to provide a reliable service, but Owl Hired is provided on an “as available” basis and we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Liability and termination

To the extent permitted by law, Owl Hired is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, missed opportunities, employer decisions, inaccurate third-party listings, duplicate or unsuccessful submissions, or problems caused by third-party services. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

You may stop using the service or delete your account at any time, subject to separately cancelling paid subscriptions. We may restrict or terminate access for material violations, fraud, security risk, or legal requirements. Sections that by their nature should survive—including payment obligations, ownership, disclaimers, and dispute terms—continue after termination.

Changes and governing law

We may update these Terms as the service evolves. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes, and the updated date will appear above. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms, except where law requires additional consent.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, while preserving mandatory consumer rights that apply where you live. Send concerns through our contact page or to support@owlhired.com so we can try to resolve them.
