Terms of Service

Effective date: June 26, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Cadence ("Cadence", "we", "us", or "our") and govern your use of the Cadence mobile application and related services (the "App"). Cadence is an interview-practice app that lets you answer interview questions out loud and receive AI-generated feedback on what you said and how you said it.

Operator: Cadence is operated by Rachel Huie. If you have any questions, contact us at support@getcadence.org.

Please read these Terms carefully. By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the App. These Terms include an arbitration agreement and class-action waiver (Section 14) and disclaimers and limitations of our liability (Sections 11 and 12).

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EEA) to use the App, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live. If you are under the age of majority, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the App, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.

2. Your account

You can use the App as an anonymous guest or create a full account with an email and password. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at support@getcadence.org if you suspect unauthorized use. You may delete individual practice sessions or your entire account at any time from within the App.

3. What the App does, and what it is not

The App generates interview questions, records and transcribes your spoken answers, analyzes your delivery (for example, speaking pace, filler-word rate, and pauses), and produces AI-generated scores and written feedback.

The App is a practice tool, not professional advice. Its questions, scores, and feedback are generated by automated systems and are provided for self-improvement and informational purposes only. They are not career, legal, financial, psychological, or other professional advice, and they are not a prediction or guarantee of any interview result, job offer, or other outcome. AI-generated content can be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased. You are solely responsible for how you use the App's output and for your own interview preparation and decisions.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
  • upload content you do not have the right to share, or that infringes others' rights;
  • upload another person's personal information, or special categories of sensitive information, without a lawful basis;
  • attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, overload, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the App or its systems;
  • use the App to develop a competing product, or resell or redistribute the App or its output; or
  • misuse the AI features to generate unlawful, harmful, harassing, or deceptive content.

We may suspend or terminate access that violates these rules.

5. Your content and the license you grant us

You retain ownership of the content you provide — your job descriptions, résumés, voice recordings, and answers ("Your Content"). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Your Content solely to operate and improve the App for you — for example, to generate questions and feedback, transcribe and analyze your answers, and save your history. This includes sharing Your Content with the service providers described in our Privacy Policy (such as Supabase, Deepgram, and Anthropic) so they can perform these functions. We do not use Your Content to advertise to you, and we do not sell it. This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except for residual copies retained as described in the Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for Your Content and represent that you have the rights necessary to provide it to us.

6. Our intellectual property

The App, including its software, design, branding, and the "Cadence" name and logo, is owned by us and protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your own non-commercial interview practice. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

7. Purchases, subscriptions, and billing

The App offers paid features through Apple's in-app purchase system. All purchases are processed by Apple and charged to your Apple ID account. We offer two types of purchase:

One-time Sprint (consumable session pack).

The Sprint is a one-time purchase (currently $39 for 60 practice sessions). It does not auto-renew. Sessions are tied to your account.

Monthly subscription (auto-renewable).

The subscription (currently $19 per month for unlimited sessions) is an auto-renewable subscription. The following applies to auto-renewable subscriptions:

  • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
  • The subscription automatically renews for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
  • You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renew, in your Apple ID account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions) after purchase. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription.
  • Any unused portion of a free trial, if offered, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Prices are shown in the App and may change; we will not change the price of an active subscription period without notice as required by the App Store. Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with the App Store's terms; we generally cannot grant refunds directly. You can request a refund through Apple. Restore purchases is available in the App and through your Apple ID.

8. Apple App Store terms

The App is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"), available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/, as supplemented by these Terms. To the extent these Terms conflict with the Standard EULA, these Terms govern except where the Standard EULA's minimum terms must control. You also agree that:

  • These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
  • If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
  • Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, legal/regulatory, or consumer-protection claims, or claims that the App infringes third-party intellectual-property rights. Such claims are governed by these Terms and our responsibility, not Apple's.
  • You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist-supporting," and that you are not on any U.S. Government restricted-party list.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce these Terms against you.

9. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services (including Supabase, Deepgram, Anthropic, PostHog, Sentry, and Apple) to function. Your use of the App is also subject to those providers' terms where applicable. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.

10. Changes to the App and these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time. We may also update these Terms; when we do, we will revise the "Effective date" above and, for material changes, provide additional notice within the App. Your continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

11. Disclaimers

THE APP AND ALL CONTENT, INCLUDING AI-GENERATED QUESTIONS, SCORES, AND FEEDBACK, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any feedback will be accurate or lead to any particular outcome. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CADENCE OR RACHEL HUIE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cadence and Rachel Huie from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the App, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law, to the extent permitted by law.

14. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. To the extent permitted by law, any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, and you and we waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing us at support@getcadence.org within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Nothing in this section prevents either party from bringing an individual claim in small-claims court or seeking injunctive relief for intellectual-property misuse. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you have under the laws of your country of residence.

15. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the App or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5–6 and 11–14) will survive.

16. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
