01Acceptance of these terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website cvfolder.com and its related services (the "Service"), operated by CVfolder ("CVfolder", "we", "us" or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
02Eligibility and accounts
To create an account, you must use a valid institutional email address ending in .edu and confirm it by following the link we send you. Children under 13 may not create accounts. Portfolios for K-12 students may be set up and managed only by their teachers or schools, who accept these Terms on the student's behalf and are responsible for obtaining any required consent.
You agree to provide accurate information, to keep your password confidential, and to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
03Your content
You keep all ownership rights in the information, files and other materials you add to the Service ("Your Content"). You grant CVfolder a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, display and format Your Content solely as needed to operate and provide the Service to you, including showing it to the people your visibility settings allow and generating PDF exports. This license ends when Your Content or your account is deleted, except for copies kept for a limited time in backups.
You are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent that you have all rights needed to upload it, and that it does not infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights or include anyone's personal or confidential information without permission.
04Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- upload or share content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing or otherwise objectionable;
- upload viruses, malware or other harmful code;
- share student records or other people's confidential information without proper authorization;
- impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity, affiliation or qualifications;
- send spam or unsolicited messages through the Service;
- access, or attempt to access, other users' accounts or private content without permission;
- interfere with, disrupt, overload or probe the security of the Service; or
- use the Service for any purpose that violates applicable law.
We may remove content or suspend or close accounts that we reasonably believe violate these Terms.
05Copyright complaints
We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please contact us with a description of the work, the location of the content on the Service, your contact information, and a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized. We will review the complaint and remove infringing content where appropriate.
06Our intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, logos and text (other than Your Content), is owned by CVfolder and protected by law. You may not copy, modify, distribute or create derivative works from the Service except as these Terms allow.
07Third-party content and links
Portfolios may contain links to, or content embedded from, third-party websites and services. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, websites or services, and your use of them is subject to their own terms and policies.
08Fees and changes to the Service
The Service is currently provided free of charge. If we introduce paid features, we will tell you in advance, and you will not be charged without your agreement. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. If we decide to discontinue the Service entirely, we will give reasonable advance notice so you can export your content. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of important materials.
09Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and may ask us to delete your account through our contact page. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if an account has been inactive with no content for an extended period. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law, will survive.
10Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that data will not be lost, or that any portfolio or document prepared with the Service will be accepted by any institution, committee or employer.
11Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CVfolder and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue or opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service. Because the Service is provided free of charge, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties or liabilities to be excluded or limited, so some of the above may not apply to you.
12Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless CVfolder and its operators from any claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or the rights of another person.
13Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.
14Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will give notice on the Service or by email before they take effect. By continuing to use the Service after the changes take effect, you agree to the updated Terms.
15General
These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and CVfolder about the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent; we may transfer ours as part of a transfer of the Service.
