Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the ArticlO software platform, website, and related APIs (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of the terms, you may not access or use the Service.

2. Description of Service

ArticlO provides a job application and career correspondence platform that enables job seekers and students (including Chartered Accountant articleship candidates) to organize, format, and dispatch legitimate job application materials through their own authenticated email accounts (including Gmail via official Google OAuth APIs). Features include application scheduling, quota-compliant rate-limiting (2 emails/second), recipient formatting tools, AI-assisted cover letter enhancement powered by Google Gemini, and real-time delivery telemetry.

3. Acceptable Use Policy & Google API Compliance

You agree NOT to use ArticlO to:

• Engage in Email Warming: Email warming services, automated engagement manipulation, simulated inbox interactions (artificial opens, replies, or threads), or warm-up schedules are strictly prohibited on all Google accounts and are not supported on ArticlO.
• Distribute Unsolicited Bulk Email (Spam): Transmit unsolicited commercial email, bulk advertising, or commercial solicitations to recipients who have not consented to receive professional communications or with whom you do not have a legitimate professional or employment interest.
• Mislead Recipients: Send emails containing false, misleading, or deceptive sender identities, email headers, or subject lines.
• Bypass Opt-Outs: Circumvent, tamper with, or fail to honor unsubscribe requests. All opt-out requests are permanently recorded in ArticlO’s server-side suppression list and cannot be overridden by new contact uploads or campaign launches.
• Transmit Harmful Content: Transmit phishing material, malware, viruses, fraudulent offers, or illegal commercial schemes.
• Bypass Provider Quotas: Exceed, circumvent, or attempt to bypass rate limits imposed by the platform or Google API quotas.

No Lead Database: ArticlO does not provide, scrape, sell, or distribute recipient email addresses, recruiter databases, or lead lists. Users are strictly responsible for providing their own verified contact lists.

Failure to adhere to this Acceptable Use Policy will result in immediate termination of your account without refund and permanent revocation of API access.

4. User Account & Google Authorization

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials. You authorize ArticlO to access the Google Gmail API solely to execute campaigns you have created and initiated. You may revoke access at any time via your Google Account permissions panel.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its original code, user interface, brand assets, and functionality, is owned by ArticlO Inc. and protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. You retain full ownership of the campaign copy and contact lists you import.

6. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall ArticlO, its officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, deliverability reputation, or business interruption arising from your use of the Service or actions taken by third-party email providers.

7. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. Continued use of the platform after effective revisions signifies acceptance of the amended terms.
