Terms of Service

What abasync is

abasync is a job board and career platform for applied behavior analysis (ABA) professionals. Candidates can create a profile, upload a resume, receive job matches and coaching suggestions, and apply to roles. Employers can post jobs and review applicants. abasync is a venue that connects the two; we are not an employer, staffing agency, or recruiter, and we are not a party to any employment relationship or hiring decision.

Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use abasync. If you create an employer account on behalf of a company, you represent that you are authorised to bind that company to these terms.

You may register with an email address and password or through Google sign-in. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access. Provide accurate information and keep it current; one person may not hold more than one candidate account.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Provide false, misleading, or fraudulent information in a profile, resume, or posting.
• Impersonate any person or organisation, or claim credentials (such as BCBA or RBT certification) you do not hold.
• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-download job postings, profiles, or other content except through interfaces we make available for that purpose, or use content from abasync to build a competing service.
• Use candidate information for any purpose other than evaluating that candidate for a role you have posted.
• Send spam, unsolicited marketing, or harassing messages to other users.
• Upload malware, attempt to bypass security or access controls, probe or overload our systems, or interfere with other users.
• Use the service in violation of any applicable law, including employment and anti-discrimination law.

Job postings and employer responsibilities

Employers are solely responsible for their postings and hiring practices. Each posting must:

• Describe a genuine, currently open position with the employer or a client it is authorised to recruit for, with an accurate title, location, work mode, pay range, and requirements.
• Comply with all applicable laws, including pay-transparency and equal-employment laws. Postings may not express or imply a preference based on race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
• Not require candidates to pay fees, purchase training, or disclose sensitive personal information as a condition of applying.
• Not link to sites that collect applicant data under false pretences.

We may edit, decline, or remove any posting that we reasonably believe violates these terms, is inaccurate, or harms the experience of candidates, with or without notice. Employers must handle candidate information in accordance with applicable privacy law and delete it when no longer needed for the role.

Resumes, profiles, and AI-generated content

When you upload a resume, abasync extracts its text and uses automated systems, including a large language model, to draft a structured profile, suggest improvements, and match you with roles. These outputs are informational suggestions only. They may be incomplete or inaccurate, and you are responsible for reviewing and correcting your profile before sharing it with an employer.

Nothing abasync produces — a match score, a coaching tip, a profile summary — is a guarantee of an interview, an offer, or employment, nor is it professional career, legal, or credentialing advice. Employers make their own decisions, and we do not control them.

Subscriptions and billing

Core features of abasync are free. Candidates may purchase a candidate premium subscription for additional features described at the point of purchase. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected) and renew automatically until cancelled.

Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing you authorise us and Stripe to charge your payment method for each billing period. You must keep a valid payment method on file; if a charge fails we may retry it and, after a short grace period, suspend premium features until payment succeeds.

You can cancel at any time from the billing portal in your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period: you keep premium access until then and will not be charged again. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial periods or unused features, except where required by law.

We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days’ notice by email; the new price applies from your next renewal after the notice period. Taxes may be added where applicable.

Intellectual property and your content

abasync, including its software, design, wordmark, fleuron symbol, and all content we create, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual-property law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive licence to use the service for its intended purpose in accordance with these terms.

You keep ownership of the content you submit — resumes, profile details, job postings, company descriptions. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, display, and transmit that content as needed to operate and improve the service, including displaying job postings publicly and sharing candidate content with employers you apply to. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies already delivered to employers and backups retained for a limited time. You represent that you have the rights needed to grant this licence.

Third-party services and links

The service relies on third-party providers such as Amazon Web Services, Stripe, OpenAI, and Google, and job postings often link to employers’ own websites and application systems. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of third-party sites and services, which are governed by their own terms.

Disclaimers

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that postings are accurate or that positions remain open, that candidates hold the credentials they claim, or that you will obtain employment or hires through abasync. We do not verify the identity, credentials, or background of users unless we expressly say so.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, abasync and its officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities, or loss of data, arising out of or related to your use of the service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or the service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places our liability is limited to the maximum extent the law permits.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless abasync from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or, if you are an employer, your postings and hiring practices.

Termination

You may close your account at any time from account settings. We may suspend or terminate your account or access to the service if you breach these terms, if your use creates risk or legal exposure for us, or if we discontinue the service. Where practical we will give notice and an opportunity to export your data. Sections that by their nature should survive — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — survive termination.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [LEGAL REVIEW: governing-law state], United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in that state, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least 30 days.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top tells you when they were last changed. For material changes we will notify account holders by email or with a notice in the app at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continuing to use abasync after that date means you accept the revised terms; if you do not agree, close your account before they take effect.
