Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of Verith: the website, your verified profile, connections and messages, the job board and tracker, Company Insights, and the anonymous community (together, the "Service"), operated by Verith ("we," "us," "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. Who can use Verith

You must be at least 18 to create an account. Your account is for you alone. Keep your email and Google account secure, because anyone who can get into them can get into Verith, and you're responsible for what happens under your account. Don't impersonate anyone, and don't misrepresent your work history, education or verification.

2. What Verith is for

Verith is a candidate-first platform: a verified professional profile, a network of connections, a job board and personal job tracker, Company Insights where people share honest reviews, pay and interview experiences, and an anonymous community where members talk under a handle.

3. Your profile and verification

• Be truthful. Your name, work history and education must be real and yours.
• Verification. We verify a current job or school by sending a one-time code to a work or school email. Only use an email that belongs to you. A verified mark means you received that code, not that we checked anything else.
• Getting started. Some features (connecting with members, reviews, the job tracker, a community handle) open once your profile has the basics described during sign-up.
• Changes. If you change a verified job's company or title, it may need verifying again. We may remove a verified mark, or ask you to verify again, if we have reason to think it's no longer accurate.

4. Connections and messages

Connect only with people you know or have a real professional reason to contact. Your connections can see your full profile, your posts and the contact details you add. Don't use Verith to spam, sell, recruit people who haven't asked, or harass anyone, and don't share someone's private messages or contact details outside Verith without their permission.

5. Company Insights and the community

• Anonymous to the public. Your name is never shown next to a review, report, or community post. Community posts appear under your handle.
• Never try to unmask anyone. Trying to identify the person behind a handle or a review, or sharing someone's identity, gets an account removed.
• Anonymity has limits. A post with enough specific detail (an unusual title, a small team, a rare location) could let someone guess who wrote it. We avoid collecting fields that make this easier, but no platform can promise anonymity is unbreakable, and neither can we.
• Moderation. We review new Company Insights reviews and interview reports before they go live, to check for anything that could identify you or breaks our guidelines, not to soften what you said. Community posts and replies are checked automatically, and anything flagged waits for review. Community owners can remove posts and members in the communities they run.
• Companies can't pay to change what members write. Companies can't pay to remove, hide or edit member reviews, or change their ratings.
• Company pages. Someone with a verified work email at a company can ask to manage that company's page for free. Once we approve the request, they can add company information and post one public reply under each review or interview report. We check each reply and each edit before it goes live, edited replies are marked as edited, and we keep a record of every version. They can't remove, hide, edit or reorder what members wrote, see who wrote it, or use the page to contact members. Company replies must not name or guess who wrote a review. We remove replies and access that break these rules.
• Tiers, points and vouches reflect participation. They have no cash value, and we may adjust them to stop gaming.
• Referral Board. If you accept a referral offer, the member who offered it can see your Verith profile and message you. A referral offer is not a job offer, and we don't guarantee any outcome.
• Be truthful. Everything you share must be your own honest experience. Don't post anything you know is false, and don't share a former employer's confidential information or trade secrets.

6. Content you submit

You own what you write. By posting on Verith you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display and distribute that content on the Service (and in aggregate form that doesn't identify you, such as company-level statistics) for as long as it stays on Verith. If a submission is rejected in moderation, or you delete it or your account, we stop showing it, except Company Insights reports already published, which stay up anonymously as described in our Privacy Policy.

You agree not to post content that is:

• Defamatory, harassing, threatening, or knowingly false
• Discriminatory or hateful
• Sexual, violent, or otherwise inappropriate for a professional community
• Someone else's personal information, confidential information or trade secrets
• Spam, an advertisement, or unrelated to your actual experience

See our Community Guidelines for the full picture.

7. The job board and your tracker

Job listings come from companies' public career sites. We don't employ anyone, we aren't the employer for any listing, and we can't promise a listing is still open or accurate. When you apply, you apply on the company's own site. Your tracker (saved jobs, stages, notes and files) is yours. Some tracker answers about the hiring process can be shared anonymously to Company Insights if you choose; that never includes your name, your account or your personal location.

8. AI features

Some features use AI: suggesting profile details from a resume you upload, filling in a job from a posting you add, suggesting company names, and writing company "About" summaries from a company's own public website (labeled as AI-generated). AI can get things wrong, so check what it fills in before you save. Inaccurate company information can be reported with "Suggest an edit" on that company's page. To keep the Service fair, AI features have a daily limit per member.

9. Verith's name, design and code

The site's design, layout, text, graphics and code are owned by Verith and protected by copyright. The Verith name and V logo are Verith's trademarks. You can use Verith for your own job search and career. You may not:

• Copy or imitate Verith's design, layout or features for another site, app or service
• Scrape, crawl or bulk-download pages, company pages, Company Insights or member content, whether by bot or by hand
• Copy, decompile or reverse-engineer the site's code
• Use the Verith name or logo in a way that suggests we're connected to you or endorse you

If we find Verith's design, code or content copied, we'll send takedown notices to the sites and hosts involved and take further action where needed. Breaking this section also ends your right to use Verith.

Sharing a link to a Verith page, or quoting a small part with credit, is fine. What you post stays yours, as described in section 6.

10. Account suspension and deletion

You can delete your account at any time in Settings. It takes effect immediately and can't be undone. We may suspend or remove an account that breaks these Terms, posts fraudulent or abusive content, games ratings or tiers (for example, multiple reviews of the same company), tries to identify anonymous members, or tries to get around our security.

11. Disclaimers

Verith is provided "as is." We don't verify every review, salary figure, interview account, job listing, company statistic or AI-generated summary, and we don't guarantee they're complete or error-free. Use your own judgment. We aren't part of your employment relationship with any company, and nothing on Verith is legal, financial or career advice.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Verith and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including decisions you make based on content other members posted.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as Verith grows. If we make a material change, we'll post it here with a new "Last updated" date. Continuing to use Verith after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
