Terms of Service

Version ⁦0.1-draft⁩ · Last updated Sep 27, 2026

Draft, not in effect. ufaamu’s owner has not approved these terms and a lawyer has not reviewed them yet. They are not in effect. Items marked “Owner to provide” are still being decided.

The short version

  • ufaamu helps you find hourly work, prepare a resume and cover letter, and get help from a person where that is available. It is not an employer, and it does not decide who is hired.
  • Most jobs are listed from employers’ own websites. Those employers are not ufaamu partners and have not agreed to these terms. You apply on their website, under their rules.
  • You can search and open employer websites without an account. Opening an employer’s website does not apply for you.
  • ufaamu never applies for you, signs anything for you, accepts an offer for you, or shares your profile with an employer unless you take that step yourself.
  • Suggestions, matches and documents from ufaamu can be wrong. Check everything before you send it. Never claim experience or certificates you do not have.
  • What you write stays yours. You let ufaamu store and use it only to provide the service you ask for.
  • ufaamu is free to use. There are no paid plans or subscriptions.

What these terms are

These terms are an agreement between you and [Owner to provide: Legal name of the business or organization that operates ufaamu] (“ufaamu”, “we”). They apply to everyone who uses ufaamu. Some parts apply only to job seekers or only to employers, and say so.

How we handle personal information is explained in the privacy notice. The privacy notice is information for you; agreeing to these terms does not turn on AI help, employer discovery, email, or any other choice described there.

Status: this is draft version 0.1-draft. It is not in effect. The date it takes effect will be [Owner to provide: The date these terms take effect, after approval].

What ufaamu does, and what it does not do

ufaamu:

  • lists job openings, most of them found on employers’ own career websites, with links to the employer’s application page;
  • helps you build a resume and prepare a resume and cover letter for a job, from what you enter;
  • shows how jobs match the preferences you set (type of work, shift, pay, distance);
  • lets employers that use ufaamu directly, once verified, contact job seekers who choose to be found, and see a profile a job seeker shares for one of their jobs;
  • offers help from a person, where staff are available.

ufaamu does not: hire anyone; decide who gets an interview or offer; set or guarantee pay; check whether you meet a job’s requirements; check your identity, immigration status or whether you may work in the U.S.; or act as your agent with employers. Employers make their own hiring decisions and are responsible for them.

Whether ufaamu counts as an employment agency, job board or anything else under a particular law has not been decided. These terms do not claim that ufaamu is exempt from any law.

Job listings and what their labels mean

  • Listings from employer websites are marked as found on the employer’s career site and “not a ufaamu partner”. Listing a job does not mean the employer works with ufaamu, endorses it, or has agreed to these terms.
  • “Checked on the employer’s website: [date]” means that on that date ufaamu saw the posting on the employer’s own website. It may have changed or closed since. ufaamu hides listings it cannot confirm again within a few days.
  • “Screening stated in the posting” repeats the employer’s own words. ufaamu does not check who meets them.
  • “Posted through ufaamu by a verified employer” means the ufaamu team checked that the organization exists and that the person posting works there. It is not a guarantee about the job, the pay or the employer’s conduct.
  • “Email confirmed” on an account means the person could open that email inbox. It does not confirm identity.

If a listing looks wrong, closed or like a scam, please report it.

Using ufaamu without an account

You can search jobs, read listings, use the distance filter, open an employer’s website and build a resume draft without an account and without agreeing to anything. The resume builder keeps your draft for you as the privacy notice describes; saving it to an account and downloading it need an account.

Applying: what counts as what

  • “Continue to employer website” opens the employer’s own page in a new tab. The employer’s application process, terms and privacy practices apply there. Opening the page does not submit an application, and ufaamu does not send the employer anything about you.
  • An application through ufaamu exists only for jobs posted on ufaamu by a verified employer, and only after you choose to show interest. The employer sees your profile only after you approve sharing for that job.
  • “I applied”, when you tell ufaamu that you applied on an employer’s website, is your own report. ufaamu does not check it.
  • Interviews, offers and starting work are recorded as the employer or you report them. Accepting an offer in ufaamu is your answer to that employer, not a contract made by ufaamu, and it is not the same as starting work.

ufaamu never applies to jobs automatically, never signs documents for you, never accepts or declines offers for you, and never shares your profile with an employer without your action.

Accounts

  • Give accurate information when you create an account, and keep it up to date.
  • Use your own account only. Keep your password private. Do not create accounts for other people without their permission, or in someone else’s name.
  • If you think someone else has used your account, tell us as soon as you can (see Contact).
  • You must be at least [Owner to provide: Minimum age to create an account] to create an account. [Owner to provide: Whether, and how, people under 18 may use ufaamu to look for work].
  • ufaamu team accounts are created by ufaamu only.

Your resumes, letters and other materials

Your resumes, cover letters, profile, answers, messages and photo remain yours. You give ufaamu permission to store, format, process, translate and display them, and to share them where you tell us to (for example with an employer you approve), only in order to provide ufaamu to you. This permission ends when you delete the material or your account, except for copies in backups for a limited time and copies others already received, as the privacy notice explains.

ufaamu will not sell your materials, use them for advertising, or allow them to be used to train AI models.

You are responsible for what you send to employers. Review every resume, letter and application before you send it. Do not include experience, qualifications, certificates or references that are not true, and do not submit applications in someone else’s name.

Resume, letter and matching help

Today, ufaamu’s resume and cover letter suggestions, job-match explanations and interview practice are made by fixed rules and templates, from the information you entered. No AI service is connected. If one is connected later, it will be used for your information only if you turn on AI help, and this page and the privacy notice will be updated first.

Suggestions and generated documents can contain mistakes, leave out things that matter, or read awkwardly. A match means a job fits the preferences you set; it does not mean you meet the employer’s requirements or that you will be chosen. ufaamu makes no promise that a document will pass an employer’s screening software, get a response, or lead to an interview or job.

Help from a person and other features

  • Help from a person depends on staff being available. Response times are not guaranteed yet.
  • Messages are delivered inside ufaamu only; ufaamu does not send them by text, email or WhatsApp.
  • Job alerts and reminders appear inside ufaamu. Email alerts are not sent in this version.
  • Video calls and voice-to-text are not available in this version. The interview page offers only a camera and microphone check that stays on your device.
  • Payments: ufaamu charges nothing and has no paid features.

Employers who use ufaamu directly

This section applies only to employers with a ufaamu employer account. Employers whose jobs ufaamu lists from their own websites have not agreed to it. Employers using ufaamu directly will also sign [Owner to provide: The written agreement employers sign before using ufaamu directly].

  • You must be authorized to act for the organization you register.
  • Post only real, open positions, described accurately: pay, location, schedule, requirements and closing information. Correct or close postings promptly when they change or are filled.
  • You are responsible for your hiring decisions and for meeting employment laws, including anti-discrimination, wage, work-authorization and record-keeping requirements. Job requirements must be related to the job.
  • Use job seekers’ information only to consider them for the job they shared it for, and handle it lawfully. Do not sell it, use it for unrelated marketing, or disclose it without authorization.
  • Do not ask job seekers to pay fees, send identity documents through ufaamu, or take part in anything misleading. Do not impersonate another organization.
  • Messages and offers you write are shown to job seekers as written, labelled as yours.

Rules for everyone

When using ufaamu, do not:

  • post or send anything fraudulent, a scam, or a fake job;
  • harass, threaten or discriminate against anyone;
  • upload malware, or try to get into accounts, data or systems you are not allowed to use;
  • collect other people’s information from ufaamu, or misuse personal information you see;
  • overload ufaamu or copy it in bulk with automated tools;
  • post content that infringes someone else’s rights.

Honest reviews and criticism of ufaamu or of employers are not against these terms.

Reporting a problem

  • A job listing that is closed, wrong, a scam, or uses content that belongs to you: use “Report job” on the listing. No account is needed, and a person on the ufaamu team reviews every report.
  • Anything else (a message, an account, a security problem): if you have a job-seeker account, use Get help. Otherwise contact [Owner to provide: A monitored privacy contact (email address or phone number) for people without a job-seeker account].

What ufaamu may do about misuse

If someone breaks these terms, ufaamu may, in proportion to the problem: remove or hide content, pause a posting, limit features, or suspend or close an account. Where we can, we will tell the person what we did and why, and how to ask us to review it. When there is an urgent risk to people’s safety, security or information, we may act first and explain afterwards.

ufaamu’s content and other people’s content

ufaamu’s own text, design and software belong to ufaamu. Job descriptions, employer names and logos belong to the employers. ufaamu writes its own short summaries and links to the employer’s original posting; permission to use employer content is reviewed separately for each source. These terms do not give anyone permission to copy job descriptions or other content from ufaamu or from employers’ websites.

Changes to ufaamu, and ending your use

ufaamu is a pilot. Features may change, and ufaamu may be unavailable at times. We will try to give notice before removing something important. You can stop using ufaamu at any time. To delete your account, send a privacy request as described in the privacy notice.

Responsibility and your legal rights

We work to keep ufaamu accurate and available, but we cannot promise that listings are complete or current, that every employer is honest, or that ufaamu will always work. Employers are responsible for their own listings, websites and decisions.

Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under law that cannot be limited by agreement. Terms about which law applies, where disputes are heard, and any limits on responsibility are not decided yet: [Owner to provide: Which state’s law applies, and where disputes are heard (after legal review)]; [Owner to provide: Any limits on responsibility, and their wording (after legal review; none are stated until then)].

Changes to these terms

When these terms change, the version and date at the top change. For important changes, we will tell account holders through [Owner to provide: How account holders are told about important changes (for example a notice in ufaamu, or email once email is connected)] before they apply, and ask you to agree to the new version before you continue using your account. Your acceptance is recorded with the version you agreed to.

Contact

Job seekers with an account: Get help. Everyone else: [Owner to provide: A monitored privacy contact (email address or phone number) for people without a job-seeker account], [Owner to provide: Postal address for privacy matters].
