Honest Notice: This is an Experiment
I'm Gabriel, co-founder of Vivid. I'm testing whether AI can actually help people get more interviews. You're one of the first people trying this.
Here's the reality:
- This is a beta product - things might break
- I'm still figuring out if it works
- No guarantees about job outcomes (interviews/offers)
- But if you're not satisfied, we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee (see Refund Policy below)
- You're helping me validate the concept
If that's cool with you, here are the terms:
The Deal
What Vivid Does
You:
- Upload your resume
- Paste a job description
- Pay for each customization (credits)
We:
- Use AI to generate a customized resume + cover letter
- Try to make it better than generic resumes
- Store your data securely
That's it. No promises about results.
What Vivid DOESN'T Do
We don't:
- Guarantee you'll get interviews or jobs
- Guarantee the AI output is perfect (it might have errors)
- Promise 100% uptime (we're a one-person operation)
- Offer unlimited refunds (see our tiered refund policy below)
- Provide career coaching or advice
- Apply to jobs for you
You're responsible for reviewing everything before you use it.
Your Responsibilities
1. You Must Be Honest
Only submit your actual work history. If you lie, our AI can't help you.
If you submit false information and get caught by employers, that's on you, not us.
2. You Must Review AI Output
Our AI generates suggestions. You make final decisions.
You MUST:
- Read everything before submitting to employers
- Verify all claims are accurate
- Fix any errors or hallucinations
- Take full responsibility for what you send
Think of us like autocorrect - helpful but not perfect. You're still responsible.
3. You Must Use This Legally
Don't:
- Submit someone else's information
- Create fraudulent documents
- Hack or abuse our system
- Resell our service
Violation = immediate account termination, no refund.
Pricing & Credits
How it works:
- Buy credits upfront
- Each credit = 1 tailored resume + 1 matching cover letter for the same job
- One credit is reserved when generation starts and returned if generation fails
Current pricing (subject to change):
- 1 credit: $5
- 10 credits: $45
- 25 credits: $100
- 50 credits: $175
- 100 credits: $300
Important:
- Credits don't expire (for now)
- Credits aren't transferable
- If generation fails, you keep your credit
5. Refund Policy
5.1 Risk-Free Trial Period
Users may request a full refund within 14 days of purchase if they have used 3 or fewer application-kit credits. Each credit includes a tailored resume + matching cover letter. No questions asked.
5.2 Partial Refunds
Users who have used 4-10 credits may request a 50% refund within 14 days of purchase.
5.3 No Refund After Threshold
Users who have used more than 10 credits are not eligible for refunds, as substantial value has been received from the service.
5.4 Processing Time
Refund requests are reviewed within 24-48 hours. Once approved, funds typically appear in the original payment method within 5-7 business days, depending on the user's financial institution.
5.5 Exceptional Circumstances
Vivid reserves the right to issue refunds outside these parameters in cases of service outages, major product defects, or other exceptional circumstances at its sole discretion.
5.6 Refund Abuse
Vivid reserves the right to deny refunds to users who demonstrate patterns of abuse, including but not limited to: multiple refund requests, use of temporary email addresses, or fraudulent payment methods.
Referral Credits
Eligible paying customers may participate while the referral program is enabled. A genuine new customer must use a valid referral invitation and complete their first paid purchase. The referrer and referred customer each receive 1 bonus application-kit credit. If the qualifying purchase is refunded, charged back, or otherwise reversed, both rewards are reversed. A reward already used becomes a balance adjustment that future credits must offset. Self-referrals, duplicate accounts, and manipulated attribution or payment methods are prohibited.
What You're Paying For
You're paying for:
- AI processing to generate your resume
- Storage of your data
- Access to the platform
- Peace of mind (14-day money-back guarantee — see Refund Policy above)
You're NOT paying for:
- Guaranteed job outcomes (interviews/offers depend on many factors)
- Perfect AI output (it's usually good, but review it)
- Career success guarantees
- 24/7 instant support (it's just me right now)
My commitment: If the product doesn't work as described or you're genuinely unsatisfied, see our Refund Policy section above for details on our 14-day money-back guarantee.

No Warranties
We provide Vivid "as is" with ZERO warranties.
That means:
- We don't guarantee it works perfectly

This is beta software. Bugs happen. Errors happen. The AI sometimes makes mistakes.
We're Not Liable for Much
We are NOT responsible for:
- Whether you get interviews or jobs
- AI errors or hallucinations
- Missed application deadlines if our service is down
- Employers rejecting you
- Any indirect or consequential damages
Our total liability is limited to what you paid us.
Translation: If something goes wrong, we'll work with you, but we're not writing checks for lost opportunities. We're a startup exploring if this works.

I'm reasonable. Most issues can be resolved with an email.

Continued use = acceptance of new terms.
General Legal
- Entire agreement: These Terms + Privacy Policy = the complete deal.
- Severability: If one part is invalid, the rest still applies.
- Assignment: You can't transfer your account. I can (e.g., if I sell the company).

Final Word
I wrote these Terms to be honest about where we are.
This is a beta product. I'm one person testing if AI can actually help people get more interviews. You're an early adopter taking a chance on an unproven product.
I appreciate that risk. I'll work hard to make this valuable for you, but I can't make guarantees while I'm still figuring this out.
If you're okay with that level of risk and experimentation, welcome aboard.
If not, that's totally fine too. Come back when we're more established.
