These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of ApplyOwl, including the desktop application, website, and associated features (collectively, the "Services"), provided by Zoey OS, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Zoey OS," "we," "us," or "our"). ApplyOwl is a product owned and operated by Zoey OS, LLC.
By creating an account, downloading the application, or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Acceptable Use Policy (collectively, the "Agreement"). If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Contact Information:
ApplyOwl is a local-first job-application automation tool. It runs on your own computer and acts within your own web browser to help you apply to jobs — finding and filling applications, attaching your resume, and using AI to draft answers. ApplyOwl works on your side of the glass: your resume, your job-site logins, your application activity, and your AI credentials stay on your device (see Section 5 and our Privacy Policy). ApplyOwl uses your own AI — your API key or your own ChatGPT/Claude subscription — and those AI requests go directly from your computer to your provider.
You must be at least 13 to create an account or use the Services. You represent that you meet this age requirement. If we learn a user is under 13, we will suspend and delete the account.
The Services are offered internationally but are not available, and you may not use them, in any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. or other applicable export sanctions, or if you are on a prohibited- or restricted-party list. We may detect your country at the network edge and block access (Section 15.10).
To access the Services, create an account with an accurate email and a password meeting our requirements. You agree to keep your information accurate, keep your credentials confidential, accept responsibility for activity under your account, and notify us at support@applyowl.app of any unauthorized access.
ApplyOwl uses artificial intelligence (your provider's) to draft answers and produce content ("Outputs"). You acknowledge and agree that:
When you use ApplyOwl, you authorize it to act in your browser, on your behalf — navigating sites, filling forms, attaching your resume, and submitting applications you direct it to. You acknowledge and agree that:
Content drafted by ApplyOwl is generated by an artificial-intelligence system (your provider's). Where you submit AI-assisted content, you are responsible for any disclosure required by applicable law or by the recipient's rules.
Zoey OS does not operate any AI model training and does not run AI inference on your data. ApplyOwl's AI work is performed by your AI provider under your credentials, in a request that goes directly from your device to that provider. We never receive, store, proxy, or train on your prompts, Outputs, resume, or applications. Your AI provider's terms govern those calls (see Privacy Policy, Tier 3). The App has optional usage analytics (which screens/features are used, never your work content); by signing in you consent to the telemetry described in our Privacy Policy, subject to the controls there.
We use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available but do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation. The App may validate your license and fetch updated automation definitions over the internet. We may modify, update, or discontinue features; we will not materially decrease core functionality during an active paid subscription without at least 30 days' notice and, where the change materially diminishes the value of your subscription, the option to cancel for a pro-rata refund.
Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for your personal use in connection with the Services.
You may not: copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or transfer the App; reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble it (except as permitted by law); remove proprietary notices; use it to build a competing product or copy its features or interface; circumvent security, licensing, or access-control features; use it on more devices than your plan permits; or share your licensed copy with any third party.
Your plan permits use on the number of devices stated in the Services. On first activation the App generates a hardware identifier used solely to enforce device limits. If you replace your device, you may transfer your license through account settings.
The App may automatically download and install updates (including updated automation definitions). You consent to receiving them. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated App.
The App validates your account and entitlement status on launch and periodically thereafter, and an internet connection is required for that validation. Features that depend on a paid plan are unavailable when the entitlement is not in effect, and the App will tell you what is missing. Features that don't depend on a paid entitlement remain available offline to the extent they can run locally.
The App includes open-source components licensed under their own terms, listed at applyowl.app/legal/open-source. Where an open-source license conflicts with Section 4.2, that license controls for the component it covers.
You retain all right, title, and interest in your resume, your applications, the content you create or submit, and any Outputs ("Your Content"). We claim no ownership.
Your Content stays on your device. Because we do not host, store, or receive Your Content, you do not grant us a license to it, and we have no access to it. You are responsible for the security of your own device and for backing up Your Content.
You represent and warrant that: you have all rights necessary to use Your Content with the Services; Your Content and your use of the Services do not violate these Terms, the AUP, or any law; and Your Content does not infringe any third party's rights. You are responsible for the truthfulness and accuracy of anything ApplyOwl submits on your behalf.
As between you and Zoey OS, you own all Outputs produced through the Services in response to your inputs, and may use them for any lawful purpose. We disclaim all warranties regarding Outputs to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You are responsible for your own AI provider account, including any usage fees your provider charges you for the API calls or subscription usage ApplyOwl makes on your behalf. Your relationship with your AI provider is governed by your agreement with them. We do not bill you for AI usage and do not mark it up.
You can create an account and use the free version of ApplyOwl. The free version lets you apply to a limited number of jobs per day, as described in the Services. There is no free trial and no countdown — the free version is simply the Services without a paid entitlement, and you can stay on it. When you want more, you subscribe or purchase a one-time license. Available plans, prices, and limits are shown in the Services before you buy.
We offer paid plans as described in the Services, which currently may include a recurring subscription and a one-time lifetime license. A recurring subscription begins on the date you complete payment and continues for the billing period you select.
Recurring subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate unless you cancel before the renewal date. We will charge your payment method for each renewal and provide at least 30 days' notice before any price increase for existing subscribers. Where required by law, we will send renewal reminders and disclose the term, price, and cancellation method before and at purchase.
You must provide a valid payment method to purchase a paid plan. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor; Zoey OS, LLC is the seller of the Services. You authorize us and our processor to charge your payment method for all applicable fees and taxes. Prices are stated exclusive of tax; applicable sales tax, VAT, and GST are calculated based on your location, added at checkout, and shown on your receipt, and are collected and remitted through our processor's tax service. You are responsible for keeping your payment method current.
You may cancel at any time through account settings or by contacting support@applyowl.app. Cancellation is effective at the end of your current billing period; you retain access until then. Cancelling does not close or delete your account — it reverts to the free version. Cancellation is at least as easy as subscribing.
Except where a non-waivable right of withdrawal or other mandatory consumer-protection law applies (see Section 17), subscription fees are non-refundable. On cancellation, access continues through the end of the current billing period; no partial or pro-rata refunds are issued except as required by law. A one-time lifetime license is non-refundable except as required by law or any satisfaction window we expressly offer at purchase.
We may change pricing with at least 30 days' written notice. Changes will not apply to your current billing period. If you disagree, you may cancel before the new pricing takes effect.
If we cannot charge your payment method, we will notify you with a link to update it and allow a short grace period. If unresolved, the paid entitlement is paused and suspended, not cancelled, and resumes when a working payment method succeeds. A failed payment never deletes your account or your data.
ApplyOwl interacts with third-party websites you direct it to (job boards, applicant-tracking systems, LinkedIn, and others) using your own logged-in session. Zoey OS is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them. Your use of those sites is governed by their terms. You are responsible for complying with them.
ApplyOwl connects to the AI provider you choose, under your own API key or subscription. That provider is not our subprocessor; your relationship with them is governed by your agreement with them.
We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party site or service, and are not liable for any loss arising from your use of them, including data loss, interruptions, account restrictions imposed by those sites, or changes to their functionality or availability.
We use a small number of subprocessors to run our account service, payments, and website (current list at applyowl.app/legal/subprocessors). We will give at least 30 days' notice before adding a new one.
We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Services, the App, and related technology and content (excluding Your Content), including all intellectual property rights. These Terms grant you no right to use our trademarks, logos, or brand features (including "ApplyOwl" and the ApplyOwl owl mark).
If you provide feedback or ideas, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate them without obligation or compensation. Feedback does not include Your Content.
If you believe content available through the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at legal@applyowl.app with the required DMCA elements. We respond to valid notices under the U.S. DMCA and comparable mechanisms elsewhere.
You may terminate your account anytime via settings or by contacting support@applyowl.app. Your right to use the Services then ceases (subject to any remaining paid period per Section 6.5). Uninstalling the App removes local data from your device.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms and fail to cure within 14 days of notice; violate the AUP; pose a security risk; where providing the Services would violate sanctions/export law; where required by law; or after 12 consecutive months of inactivity (with 30 days' notice). For AUP violations involving illegal activity, CSAM, or threats of violence, we may terminate immediately without notice.
All licenses terminate; you must cease use of the Services and the App; account data is deleted from production within 30 days and backups within 1 year; we send a deletion confirmation. Your Content on your device is unaffected and remains yours.
Provisions relating to intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and others that by their nature should survive, will survive.
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that Outputs will be accurate or suitable; or that any third-party site will permit automated use or that your account there will not be restricted. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits warranties or rights that cannot be excluded or limited under the law applicable to you as a consumer (see Section 17).
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Zoey OS and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, or licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, employment or job opportunities, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the Services, regardless of theory and even if advised of the possibility.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars ($100 USD).
These limitations reflect the allocation of risk between us, are an essential basis of the bargain, and apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Nothing here limits liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (d) any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law, including non-excludable consumer guarantees (see Section 17).
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Zoey OS and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: your use of the Services in violation of these Terms; the content of applications or other Content you submit through the Services; your violation of any third-party site's terms; or your violation of any law or third party's rights. This does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own breach, and applies only to the extent permitted by consumer law applicable to you.
Consumer note: The arbitration agreement and class-action waiver apply only where permitted by applicable law, and do not apply to consumers in the EU, UK, or other jurisdictions where they are unenforceable against consumers (see Section 17).
Before any formal proceeding, contact us at legal@applyowl.app and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, in English, in Florida or by videoconference at your election.
You and Zoey OS agree each may bring claims only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
Either party may bring a qualifying small-claims action, seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property, or bring claims that cannot be arbitrated under applicable law.
You may opt out of arbitration by written notice to legal@applyowl.app within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your name, account email, and a clear opt-out statement.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and, where litigation is permitted, exclusive venue is the state and federal courts in Florida. If you are a consumer, you retain the mandatory protections and courts of your country of residence (see Section 17).
These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and AUP, are the entire agreement regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements.
We may modify these Terms with at least 30 days' notice of material changes by email and by posting the updated Terms. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you disagree, stop using the Services; you may cancel a subscription for a pro-rata refund where the change materially and adversely affects you.
Invalid provisions are modified to the minimum extent necessary; the rest remain in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
We are not liable for delays or failures due to events beyond our reasonable control.
Notices to you go to your account email. Notices to us: Zoey OS, LLC, legal@applyowl.app, or 7901 4th St N, STE 300, St. Petersburg, FL 33702, United States.
Nothing here creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship. These Terms confer no rights on third parties.
You represent you are not located in, or a resident of, any comprehensively sanctioned country or territory, and are not on any prohibited- or restricted-party list. You may not use, export, or re-export the Services in violation of export-control or sanctions laws. We may detect your country at the network edge and block or terminate access to comply.

These apply where you use the Services as a consumer and/or reside in the listed jurisdictions. Where an addendum conflicts with the body of these Terms, the addendum controls for residents of that jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms affects mandatory, non-waivable consumer rights.
In addition to 17.1 (applied under UK law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015), UK consumers retain the right to UK courts and mandatory UK consumer law.
Our Services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in Sections 10, 11, or 13 excludes or limits any non-excludable ACL guarantee.
Mandatory provincial/territorial consumer-protection law (including Quebec) applies and is not waived. Quebec: the parties have requested these Terms be drafted in English / les parties ont demandé que ces conditions soient rédigées en anglais.
You retain any non-waivable rights under the mandatory laws of your country of residence; these Terms apply only to the extent permitted by those laws.
