Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By installing, accessing, or using Verif_Hire ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Verif_Hire is a Chrome browser extension that verifies candidate-provided contact information during the hiring process. The Service checks candidate phone numbers and email addresses against FCRA-compliant infrastructure data providers and known high-risk email domain lists, then presents the results to the user for independent review. The Service includes an optional resume upload feature that parses PDF and DOCX files locally in your browser to extract candidate contact details - no resume data is transmitted to or stored on our servers. A work email address is required to activate the free install. Verif_Hire is an informational verification tool and does not make hiring decisions on your behalf.

3. Nature of Service - Data Reseller

Verif_Hire is a reseller and presenter of third-party verification data. We do not originate, generate, or editorially alter the underlying data returned by our verification providers. Our role is to package data from FCRA-compliant infrastructure and identity data sources into a format that is useful for recruiting and hiring workflows. The accuracy, completeness, and currency of the underlying data is determined by the originating data providers, not by Verif_Hire.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

5. Account and License

The Service offers a Free plan (1 verification per weekday), an introductory 14-day Pro experience that begins on first install (unlimited verifications, no credit card required), paid subscription plans (Starter at $29/mo or $290/yr, Pro at $49/mo or $490/yr — unlimited verifications), and Teams (custom pricing). License keys are issued to individual subscribers and are bound to a single device. You may not share, redistribute, resell, or transfer your license key to any other individual or device. Violation of this provision may result in immediate license revocation without refund. Pro plans are subject to fair-use limits; sustained automated or anomalous usage may be rate-limited (contact support if you hit a limit during normal recruiting work).

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Verif_Hire only for lawful purposes related to employment verification and hiring due diligence. You may not:

• Use the Service to discriminate against candidates on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, or any other protected characteristic
• Use the Service for any purpose unrelated to employment verification
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code, algorithms, or methodologies of the Service
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with license validation or device-binding mechanisms
• Use the Service to harass, stalk, or surveil any individual
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service or its outputs
• Submit fabricated or intentionally misleading candidate data to manipulate results

7. Compliance with Laws

You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of Verif_Hire complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards, including but not limited to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws, and any applicable state or local hiring regulations. Verif_Hire is not a Consumer Reporting Agency and does not provide consumer reports as defined under the FCRA. All underlying verification data is sourced from FCRA-compliant providers.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We do not warrant that verification results will be accurate, complete, or error-free. Verif_Hire is a supplementary informational tool and should not be the sole basis for any hiring or rejection decision.

9. Informational Use Only - No Liability for Hiring Decisions

All verification results, reports, observations, and other outputs provided by the Service are strictly informational and are intended to supplement - not replace - your own independent evaluation of any candidate. Verif_Hire does not make hiring, rejection, or any other employment decisions on your behalf. The decision to advance, reject, or take any action regarding a candidate remains solely and entirely with you and/or your organization. Verif_Hire, its operators, affiliates, and licensors expressly disclaim any and all liability for any hiring or employment decision made, in whole or in part, based on information provided by the Service.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Verif_Hire and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, including but not limited to damages related to hiring decisions made using the Service. Our total cumulative liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim.

11. Billing and Cancellation

Starter and Pro subscriptions are billed monthly or annually at the rate displayed at the time of purchase (annual billing provides an effective two-month discount). You may cancel at any time through our subscription management page or by contacting us. Upon cancellation, your license remains active until the end of the current billing period, after which your account will roll back to the Free plan (1 verification per weekday). Refunds are not provided for partial billing periods.

12. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property in the Service - including but not limited to the software, verification methodologies, design, branding, and documentation - is and remains the exclusive property of Verif_Hire. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property beyond a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service as intended.

13. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, including but not limited to violation of these Terms or suspected abuse. Upon termination, your license key will be deactivated and you must cease all use of the Service.

14. Modifications to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration.
