Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-07-08

Acceptance of Terms

By installing or using Job Buddy, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not install or use the extension.

Description of Service

Job Buddy is a free, open-source Chrome browser extension that autofills job application forms using information from a profile you create on your own device. It is provided free of charge and maintained on a best-effort basis by an individual developer, not a company. There is no paid tier, subscription, or service agreement.

Acceptable Use

You may use Job Buddy to autofill job application forms with information from your own profile. Some websites and applicant tracking systems have their own policies regarding automated tools. You are responsible for complying with the terms of any platform you use Job Buddy on. Job Buddy does not represent or guarantee compliance with any third-party site's terms.

Prohibited Conduct

You must not:

• Use Job Buddy to submit false, fraudulent, or misleading information on job applications.
• Use Job Buddy to impersonate another person or submit applications on their behalf without their knowledge and consent.
• Use Job Buddy to scrape, harvest, or collect data from websites beyond its intended autofill function.
• Attempt to tamper with, exploit, or misuse the extension in ways not permitted by the MIT License.
• Use Job Buddy in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.

Intellectual Property

Job Buddy's source code is available under the MIT License at https://github.com/myowinthein/job-buddy. The MIT License governs your rights to use, copy, modify, and distribute the source code.

The Job Buddy name, logo, and extension as distributed through the Chrome Web Store remain the property of the developer. The MIT License does not grant rights to use these in ways that imply endorsement or official affiliation.

Content you enter into your profile belongs to you. Job Buddy makes no claim to ownership of your data.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Job Buddy is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, reliability, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Use is at your own risk.

• Job Buddy's field matching is based on automated heuristics. It is not guaranteed to correctly identify every field on every website, and it can fill a field incorrectly or miss a field entirely.
• You are responsible for reviewing every field Job Buddy fills before submitting any application. Job Buddy never submits a form on your behalf.
• Job Buddy does not verify the accuracy of the information in your profile. It reproduces only what you provided.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer of Job Buddy is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the extension, including incorrect or incomplete job applications, missed opportunities, loss of data, or any other outcome. This applies whether such damages arise in contract, tort, or otherwise, and even if the developer has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these terms, your misuse of the extension, or your submission of false or fraudulent information on any job application.

Termination

These terms apply for as long as you use Job Buddy. You may stop at any time by uninstalling the extension. The developer reserves the right to discontinue development or remove the extension from the Chrome Web Store at any time without notice.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer resides, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these terms will be resolved through good-faith negotiation in the first instance. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Job Buddy operates on whatever website you choose to use it on. The developer has no relationship with, and no control over, any job board, applicant tracking system, or employer website. Job Buddy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any platform it may be used on.

The optional Cloud Backup feature connects to your own Google Drive. The optional AI features use Google's Gemini API via a key you supply yourself. Your interactions with Google through these features are governed by your separate agreement with Google. Job Buddy is not a party to that relationship.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated if Job Buddy's features or legal obligations change. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be reflected in the Chrome Web Store listing and on this page with an updated effective date.
