Terms of Service

These terms (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Trellis (the “Service”), provided as a personal job-search assistant built for the 2026 Google Cloud Rapid Agent Hackathon. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use Trellis. By using the Service you represent that you are eligible to enter into a binding agreement.

2. Your account

You are responsible for safeguarding your sign-in credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account. Notify us at trellis@davidumoru.me if you suspect unauthorized access. We use one-time passcodes and Google OAuth; you should not share your inbox or your OTPs with anyone.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to violate any law or the rights of others, including by sending unsolicited messages or impersonating someone.
• Reverse engineer, scrape at scale, or attempt to derive the source code or model weights underlying the Service.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network connected to the Service without authorization.
• Upload or transmit content that is illegal, malicious, defamatory, or that you do not have the right to share.
• Use the Service to make automated decisions about other people (e.g., automated screening of candidates) without their consent.

4. Your content

You retain all rights to the data you upload, paste, or connect to Trellis (“Your Content”), including your applications, resumes, notes, and the Gmail and Calendar data you authorize us to read. You grant Trellis a limited license to host, process, and display Your Content solely to provide the Service to you.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share Your Content with Trellis. If a recruiter or third party is identifiable in a message you connect, you confirm that your processing of that information complies with applicable privacy law.

5. AI-generated content

Parts of the Service use large language models to draft resumes, cover letters, and answers. AI output can be inaccurate, outdated, biased, or fabricated. You are responsible for reviewing, verifying, and editing AI output before sending it to a recruiter or relying on it for any decision. Do not treat AI-generated content as legal, financial, or career advice.

Output generated by the Service is provided to you without ownership claims by Trellis; however, AI output may resemble content produced by other users or available publicly, and we make no representation that it is free of similar third-party content.

6. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third parties including Google (Gmail, Calendar, OAuth), MongoDB Atlas (data storage), the Vercel AI Gateway, and Google Vertex AI / Gemini (model inference). Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms. We are not responsible for outages, limits, or policy changes by those providers.

7. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required to comply with law, or if continuing to provide the Service to you would create significant risk. We will provide reasonable notice where possible.

On termination, the rights you grant in these Terms end and we will delete Your Content per the schedule in our Privacy Policy.

8. Disclaimers

Trellis is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that results obtained from using the Service will be accurate or reliable. The Service is a hackathon-stage project and may change, break, or be discontinued without notice.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Trellis, its operators, or contributors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed one hundred US dollars ($100).

10. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify Trellis from claims arising out of (i) Your Content, (ii) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (iii) your violation of any third party’s rights.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, communicated by email. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
