Terms of Service

Last updated: July 3, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using adjiQ ("the Software"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Software. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("You", "User") and AdjiQ ("Company", "we", "us"). Your continued use of the Software after any modification to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those modifications.

2. Description of Service

adjiQ is a technology platform designed to demonstrate the capabilities and advancement of artificial intelligence in professional development. The Software showcases how AI can assist with interview preparation and practice. adjiQ is a technology platform and service provider only. We provide the underlying technology infrastructure and do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for how users choose to use the Software. AdjiQ does not guarantee, imply, or promise that use of this Software will result in any particular outcome, including but not limited to passing or failing any interview, assessment, examination, or evaluation. Results depend entirely on the user's own preparation, qualifications, and circumstances.

3. Local-Only Architecture & No Data Collection

adjiQ operates on a local-first, zero-collection architecture. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • All user-generated data remains exclusively on your device. Your transcripts, conversation history, AI-generated responses, practice sessions, training profiles, resume text, job descriptions, notes, and all other content you create or receive through the Software are stored solely in local files on your computer. We do not collect, transmit, store, access, or retain any of this data on our servers at any time.
  • Audio processing is entirely local. All speech-to-text transcription occurs on-device using locally-installed models. Your voice audio is never transmitted to our servers, never leaves your device, and is never stored beyond the active session's memory.
  • We collect only the minimum information required for account authentication and license enforcement: your email address, username, a securely hashed representation of your password (we never store plaintext passwords), phone number (for identity verification during password reset only), and a hardware-derived device fingerprint (hashed, non-reversible) used solely for license binding.
  • We do not collect, store, or have access to: your IP address for tracking purposes, your geographic location, your browsing history, your interview audio or transcripts, your AI conversation history, your training profiles or resume data, your practice session results, your screenshots, or any content you generate using the Software.
  • No data is used for model training. We do not use any user data, content, audio, transcripts, or conversations for training, fine-tuning, or improving any artificial intelligence model or algorithm.

4. Credential Responsibility & No Recovery

You are solely responsible for safeguarding your credentials. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Your password is hashed using a one-way cryptographic function. We cannot recover, retrieve, view, or reset your password for you. If you lose your password, you must use the identity verification process (requiring your email, username, and phone number) to set a new one.
  • Your system-generated license key is delivered to you once at the time of purchase. You must store your license key securely. While license keys are retained in your account record, you are responsible for maintaining your own backup copy.
  • If you reset your password, your existing license key remains valid, but you must re-authenticate in the Software application.
  • We are not responsible for any loss of access, data, or service resulting from forgotten, lost, compromised, or shared credentials.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you.

5. User Responsibility & Ethical Use

You are solely responsible for your use of adjiQ. By using the Software, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You will use the Software in compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations.
  • You will comply with the policies, rules, and guidelines of any organization, institution, or company conducting the interview or assessment.
  • You understand that the use of AI assistance during live interviews may violate the policies of certain organizations, and it is your responsibility to determine whether such use is permitted.
  • AdjiQ is not liable for any consequences resulting from your use of the Software, including but not limited to: termination of employment, rescission of job offers, academic penalties, legal action, or reputational harm.
  • You will not use the Software to engage in fraud, misrepresentation, or any unlawful activity.
  • You will not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive the source code of the Software.
  • You will not use automated tools, scripts, or bots to interact with the Software or its APIs in any unauthorized manner.

6. License & Device Binding

  • Each license key grants a single-user, single-device license to use the Software.
  • Your license is bound to the specific hardware device on which it is first activated. It cannot be transferred to another device without contacting support.
  • Sharing, distributing, or reselling your license key is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate revocation without refund.
  • We employ hardware fingerprinting and periodic validation to enforce single-device licensing.
  • Attempting to circumvent, disable, or tamper with the license validation system is a violation of these terms and may result in permanent account termination.

7. Free Trial

New users receive a 5-day free trial. No credit card is required. After the trial expires, a paid license is required to continue using the Software. Trial accounts are limited to one per device. Abuse of the trial system (including creating multiple accounts or resetting device identifiers to obtain additional trials) is a violation of these Terms.

8. Payment & Subscriptions

All payments are processed through Stripe. Prices are in USD. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. Lifetime licenses are one-time purchases with no recurring charges.

9. No Refunds & Chargeback Policy

ALL PAID PLANS, TRIAL CONVERSIONS, AND ONE-TIME PURCHASES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE once payment is captured. By starting a trial that converts to paid, by purchasing a one-time licence, or by upgrading from Free, you irrevocably authorize AdjiQ to charge the full plan price and you waive any right to claim a refund.

adjiQ is a digital service whose cost — compute, infrastructure — is incurred the moment you activate your license. There is no "unused" portion to return.

If you obtain a chargeback, Stripe Radar reversal, card-issuer dispute, or any third-party-forced refund:

  • We will deduct actual infrastructure cost incurred on your account and a $25 dispute-handling fee from any amount returned.
  • Your account and licence key will be permanently revoked across every device on which they were activated.
  • You may not register a new account at the same email, billing instrument, household IP range, or hardware fingerprint without AdjiQ's written consent.
  • We reserve the right to recover the deducted amount and dispute-handling fee through any lawful means, including referral to a collections agency.

You may cancel auto-renewal at any time from your dashboard. Cancellation halts the next billing cycle but does not refund the current paid period. Billing questions: support@adjiq.com.

18. Governing Law, Forum & Mandatory Arbitration

(a) Governing Law. These Terms and any controversy, claim, dispute, or difference (whether based in contract, tort, statute, or common law and whether contractual or non-contractual) arising out of or in connection with them, the Software, Your account, or the relationship between You and AdjiQ (each, a “Dispute”) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

(b) Applicability throughout the United States. The choice of Delaware law and the dispute-resolution mechanism set forth in this Section shall apply to every Person who accesses, downloads, installs, registers for, purchases, or otherwise uses the Software from any geographic location within the United States, including without limitation all fifty States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and all other Territories and Possessions. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, You expressly and irrevocably waive any objection You might otherwise have to the application of Delaware law or to the exclusive venue set forth herein on the grounds of forum non conveniens, lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or otherwise.

(c) Mandatory Binding Arbitration. Except for the carve-outs in Sub-section (e), every Dispute shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, with the seat of arbitration in Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

(d) Waiver of Jury Trial; Waiver of Class, Collective and Representative Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (i) ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY DISPUTE, AND (ii) ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN, ASSERT, OR PROSECUTE A DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, MASS ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate or to arbitrate the claims of more than one individual.

(e) Carve-outs. Notwithstanding Sub-sections (c)–(d), (i) either Party may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in respect of any actual or threatened breach of intellectual-property rights, confidentiality obligations, or licence-circumvention; and (ii) nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit or waive any non-waivable substantive right granted to You under the consumer-protection statutes of Your State of residence to the extent expressly required by such statutes.

(f) Time-Bar. Except where prohibited by applicable law, no Dispute may be brought, whether in arbitration or in any court of competent jurisdiction, more than one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; any Dispute filed thereafter is permanently and irrevocably barred.

19. Nationwide Disclaimer of Responsibility

SUBJECT ONLY TO RIGHTS THAT MAY NOT LAWFULLY BE WAIVED, ADJIQ HEREBY DISCLAIMS — IN AND WITH RESPECT TO EVERY STATE, COMMONWEALTH, TERRITORY, AND POSSESSION OF THE UNITED STATES, AND IN EVERY INTERNATIONAL JURISDICTION FROM WHICH THE SOFTWARE MAY BE ACCESSED — ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY, OBLIGATION, OR DUTY OF CARE OF WHATSOEVER NATURE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), STATUTE, REGULATION, COMMON LAW, OR EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO:

  • YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SOFTWARE;
  • THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, OR APPROPRIATENESS OF ANY ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCE-GENERATED OUTPUT, RESPONSE, RECOMMENDATION, OR SUGGESTION;

  • ANY VIOLATION BY YOU OF THE RULES, POLICIES, CODES OF CONDUCT, OR EXPECTATIONS OF ANY INTERVIEWER, RECRUITER, EMPLOYER, PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY, PROFESSIONAL LICENSING BODY, OR OTHER THIRD PARTY;
  • ANY LOSS, CORRUPTION, OR DESTRUCTION OF DATA STORED LOCALLY ON YOUR DEVICE; AND
  • ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT OR CREDENTIALS RESULTING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE SECURITY PRACTICES.

You expressly acknowledge that the Software is a technology tool only; that the use of artificial-intelligence assistance during a live interview, examination, or assessment may be prohibited by the rules of the third party administering it; and that it is solely Your responsibility — and not AdjiQ’s — to determine, in advance, whether such use is permitted under applicable rules, laws, and codes of professional conduct in Your jurisdiction.

20. Severability & State-Specific Survival

If any provision of these Terms, or any portion thereof, is held by an arbitrator or by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then (i) such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable; (ii) the modification shall be strictly limited to the affected jurisdiction; and (iii) all other provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. The Waivers in Section 18(d) are non-severable from the arbitration agreement in Section 18(c); if either Waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular Dispute, the arbitration agreement shall be deemed void only as to that Dispute.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland:

  • Your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are detailed in our Privacy Policy.
  • To the extent any provision of these Terms conflicts with mandatory consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction, the mandatory provision shall prevail.
  • Nothing in these Terms limits your right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
  • If you are an EU consumer, by activating the Software and beginning to use it, you expressly consent to the immediate performance of the contract and acknowledge that you thereby waive your right of withdrawal pursuant to Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU.

For users in other jurisdictions, these Terms shall be interpreted and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable local law.

22. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between You and AdjiQ regarding the Software and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral. No waiver of any provision shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and AdjiQ's failure to assert any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

23. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes shall be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Software more than thirty (30) days after the posting of such changes constitutes Your acceptance of the modified Terms. If You do not agree to the modified Terms, You must cease all use of the Software.

24. Contact & Notices

All legal notices required or permitted under these Terms shall be in writing and sent to legal@adjiq.com. Notices to You may be delivered to the e-mail address associated with Your account, which You agree to keep current.
