HYRD Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: September 7, 2025
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE OR PURCHASING.
By clicking “Start My Job Search” or otherwise enrolling in HYRD services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”).
“HYRD,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean HYRD Technologies Inc. You (“Client,” “you,” “your”) agree these Terms form a binding agreement.
1. Service Description and No Guarantee Disclaimer
HYRD is a done-for-you job application service designed to accelerate your job search by submitting applications on your behalf. We work diligently to identify opportunities matching your qualifications and submit tailored applications to maximize your chances of success. HYRD cannot and does not guarantee job placement, interviews, or employment outcomes. Hiring decisions remain solely with employers, and success depends on factors beyond our control including market conditions, competition, timing, and employer preferences.
2. Application Volume and Targeting Disclaimer
HYRD will make commercially reasonable efforts to submit approximately twenty (20) suitable job applications per week on your behalf, subject to the availability of relevant roles aligned to your qualifications, location, compensation parameters, and search criteria. This is a target, not a guarantee. Weekly totals may be higher or lower depending on market conditions and role availability. We commit to consistent effort, not to a fixed numeric outcome.
3. Independent Job Search and Duplicate Prevention Policy
You may continue to apply independently to roles. To avoid duplication, you must notify HYRD of any roles you apply to yourself.
How to report your applications
Email care@gethyrd.com with: (a) job title, (b) company name, and (c) application date.
Failure to notify may result in duplicate submissions, for which HYRD is not responsible.
4. Client Responsibilities and Communication Policy
You agree to provide complete, accurate, and truthful information for all applications. Any misrepresentation is solely your responsibility, and HYRD bears no liability for consequences arising from false or misleading information.
You must respond to employer communications and interview requests within forty-eight (48) hours. Delays may lead to missed opportunities for which HYRD is not responsible.
You agree to promptly notify HYRD if you accept a position, change your job search status, or need to modify your search parameters.
5. Payment, Refund, and Chargeback Policy
Your onboarding fee is non-refundable once services commence. Services are deemed commenced when HYRD begins resume optimization, market research, account/profile setup, or application preparation, whether or not applications have yet been submitted.
Monthly subscription fees (if applicable) are billed regardless of application volume or outcomes. Refunds are not provided based on lack of interviews, callbacks, or offers, as these outcomes are beyond our control and are not guaranteed.
Chargeback Waiver. By enrolling, you agree not to initiate chargebacks or payment disputes with your bank or provider. All billing disputes must be raised directly with HYRD and resolved under these Terms.
6. Service Limitations and Employer Response Disclaimer
HYRD has no control over employer response rates, timelines, or decisions. Applications may receive no response, delayed review, or rejection. HYRD cannot influence or expedite employer processes or provide insider status updates beyond what employers communicate.
7. Limitation of Liability and Third-Party Disclaimer
HYRD is not liable for missed opportunities due to market timing, platform outages, or other factors. We are not responsible for errors in job postings, employer misrepresentations, or changes in role availability. While we use reasonable efforts to avoid fraudulent listings, we cannot guarantee the legitimacy of every posting; you should exercise caution and independent judgment. HYRD does not negotiate salaries, benefits, or employment terms unless expressly agreed in writing as an additional paid service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, HYRD’s aggregate liability is limited to the amounts you paid to HYRD in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. In no event will HYRD be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages.
8. Data Authorization and Account Management Policy
You authorize HYRD to use your personal information, resume, and professional history to create and manage accounts on job platforms, submit applications, and represent you to potential employers.
Credential Handling. Login credentials created by HYRD remain your property. HYRD does not sell or disclose your credentials to third parties. Upon termination, HYRD will transfer credentials to you or delete them at your request, subject to legal/recordkeeping obligations. Once an application is submitted, HYRD cannot retract or delete it from employer systems.
9. Cancellation and Termination
Either party may terminate services with written notice. HYRD will cease submitting new applications upon termination but is not responsible for applications already submitted or in progress. No refunds will be provided for services rendered or billing cycles already paid.
10. Modification of Terms
HYRD may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you by email, and changes take effect thirty (30) days after notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
11. Governing Law; Arbitration; No Class Actions; Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or HYRD’s services will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Venue will be Chicago, Illinois (in person or virtual at the arbitrator’s discretion). No class or representative actions are permitted; you and HYRD agree to arbitrate only on an individual basis. You waive any right to a jury trial.
