Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of Cuvi (cuvi.io). By creating an account, verifying your identity, or accessing any part of the service, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

Cuvi is a professional verification service. Candidates confirm their identity (typically by proving ownership of a work email or by being vouched for by colleagues) and receive a verified status that recruiters at participating companies can see when reviewing applications. Cuvi does not place candidates into jobs or evaluate professional qualifications.

You must be at least 18 years old to use Cuvi. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this requirement.

If you sign up as a recruiter on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to act for that company in matters of candidate verification and that the contact information you provide is accurate.

You're responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. Magic links and OAuth sessions tied to your email are how Cuvi authenticates you — don't share access with anyone else.

Tell us as soon as possible at support@cuvi.io if you believe your account has been accessed by someone else.

When using Cuvi, you agree not to:

• Misrepresent your identity, employment, or qualifications.
• Use someone else's email address, phone number, or resume to verify a profile.
• Submit fraudulent peer verifications or solicit them in ways that violate Cuvi's peer-verification rules.
• Attempt to bypass rate limits, security controls, or fraud-detection systems.
• Scrape candidate or recruiter data, or use the service for any automated mass collection of personal information.
• Use Cuvi to harass, defame, or otherwise harm another user.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, and may revoke verified status retroactively if fraud is discovered.

A “verified” status on Cuvi means we independently confirmed something specific — for example, that the candidate proved ownership of a work email at a claimed employer's domain, or that three colleagues vouched for them. It is not a guarantee of the candidate's skills, performance, character, or current employment status.

Recruiters should treat the verified status as one signal among many. Cuvi makes no warranty that a verified candidate will be a good fit for any specific role.

We aim to keep Cuvi running reliably but don't guarantee uninterrupted access. We may take the service offline for maintenance, security, or operational reasons, and may modify or discontinue features with reasonable notice for material changes.

Cuvi is currently free for both candidates and recruiters. If we introduce paid features in the future, we will notify affected accounts before the change takes effect, and free features that you already use today will not retroactively become paid without notice.

Our handling of your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. By using Cuvi you also agree to that policy.

You can stop using Cuvi at any time. To delete your account, email support@cuvi.io with the subject line “Delete my account” — see the FAQ entry on account deletion for what happens next.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with notice where reasonable. After termination, certain data (audit logs, fraud-detection records) may be retained for the periods described in the Privacy Policy.

Cuvi is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or meet your specific requirements. Recruiters and candidates rely on the service at their own discretion.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cuvi's total liability to you for any claims arising from your use of the service is limited to the greater of (a) what you paid us in the past twelve months, or (b) one hundred US dollars. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.

When we make material changes to these terms, we'll update the “Last updated” date at the top and, for significant changes, email accounts with active verifications at least 14 days before the change takes effect.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of Cuvi will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California.
