Terms of Service

Last updated: 17th July, 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Argus website, web application, desktop application, software, and related services collectively referred to as the “Service.”

The Service is operated by Argus (“Argus,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By creating an account, downloading or installing the Argus desktop application, purchasing a subscription, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and enter into a legally binding agreement with us.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to use Argus.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

You have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms;
The information you provide is accurate and complete;
You are not prohibited from using the Service under applicable law; and
You will use the Service only for lawful personal or business purposes.

If you use Argus on behalf of a company or another organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. In that case, “you” includes both you and the organization.

3. Description of the Service

Argus is a job search and job application automation platform.

Depending on your plan, configuration, location, and connected services, Argus may help you:

Connect job boards and recruitment platforms;
Discover job opportunities;
Import or process job listings;
Score and rank jobs against your profile;
Filter jobs based on your preferences;
Generate application answers, summaries, or cover letters;
Complete job application forms;
Submit job applications;
Schedule job discovery or application activity;
Track application history and status;
Manage resumes and job-related documents; and
Review or control automated actions.

Some Argus features operate through the Argus desktop application using your own device, internet connection, browser profile, cookies, authenticated sessions, and connected job board accounts.

Features may vary between subscription plans and may change over time.

4. No Guarantee of Employment

Argus is a productivity and automation tool. Argus is not:

An employer;
A recruitment agency;
A staffing company;
A career adviser;
An employment lawyer;
An immigration adviser; or
A representative of any job board or employer.

We do not guarantee that:

Argus will find any particular job;
A job listing is genuine, accurate, current, or available;
You meet the qualifications for a job;
An employer will receive or review your application;
You will receive an interview, offer, response, or employment;
An application will be completed successfully;
AI-generated information will be accurate;
A connected job board will permit a particular automated action; or
Using Argus will improve your employment prospects.

You remain solely responsible for deciding which jobs to pursue and for evaluating employers, job descriptions, compensation, working conditions, and employment offers.

5. Authorization to Act on Your Behalf

By enabling job application automation, you authorize Argus to perform the actions you configure on your behalf.

These actions may include:

Opening job listings;
Reading job descriptions;
Evaluating job relevance;
Selecting a resume;
Filling application fields;
Generating responses;
Uploading documents;
Answering application questions;
Clicking submission controls; and
Submitting applications to employers or recruitment platforms.

Argus will rely on the profile information, preferences, rules, exclusions, limits, and review settings you provide.

You are responsible for reviewing and configuring these settings before enabling automation.

When you enable automatic submission without manual review, you acknowledge that applications may be submitted without you individually reviewing every field or response.

You may disable automation or require review before submission where those controls are available.

6. Your Responsibility for Applications

You are responsible for every application submitted through your Argus account, including applications submitted automatically.

You must ensure that:

Your resume and profile information are accurate;
Your qualifications are represented truthfully;
Your answers do not contain false or misleading statements;
You are legally permitted to apply for the relevant position;
You meet any work-authorization or location requirements you claim to meet;
The documents submitted are current and appropriate;
Your automation rules reflect your actual preferences; and
You review sensitive or legally significant questions before submission.

You must not use Argus to misrepresent your identity, education, experience, skills, location, work authorization, salary history, criminal history, disability status, veteran status, security clearance, or any other material information.

Argus may generate or suggest responses, but you remain responsible for their accuracy and suitability.

7. Sensitive Application Questions

Job applications may ask for sensitive or legally significant information, including information relating to:

Work authorization;
Immigration status;
Criminal history;
Disability;
Health;
Gender;
Race or ethnicity;
Veteran status;
Salary history;
Conflicts of interest;
Background checks; or
Government security clearance.

Argus may skip, flag, or require manual review for certain questions.

You should not configure automatic answers to sensitive questions unless you understand the question and have verified that the saved answer is correct.

Argus is not responsible for consequences arising from inaccurate, outdated, or automatically submitted answers.

8. Job Board Accounts and Third-Party Services

Argus may interact with third-party job boards, recruitment platforms, employer websites, AI providers, payment processors, authentication providers, email providers, and other services.

Your use of a third-party service is governed by that third party’s:

Terms of service;
Privacy policy;
Community standards;
Automation rules;
Usage limits; and
Account policies.

You are responsible for reviewing and complying with those terms.

Argus is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any job board, employer, AI provider, or recruitment platform unless expressly stated.

We do not control and are not responsible for:

Third-party websites or services;
Changes to third-party platforms;
Job board availability;
Job listing accuracy;
Employer conduct;
Third-party data retention;
Account restrictions imposed by a third party;
CAPTCHAs or identity-verification requests;
Changes to application forms;
Third-party security incidents; or
Actions taken against your third-party account.

9. Risk of Third-Party Account Restrictions

Some job boards or websites may restrict automated access, scraping, form completion, or application submission.

Using automation may result in:

Additional verification requests;
CAPTCHAs;
Temporary access restrictions;
Session termination;
Reduced functionality;
Account suspension; or
Account termination.

Although Argus is designed to operate through your own device and authenticated browser environment, this does not guarantee that automated activity will be accepted by a third-party platform.

You accept responsibility for evaluating whether your use of Argus complies with the rules of each connected service.

Argus is not responsible for warnings, restrictions, suspensions, or terminations imposed by third parties.

10. Browser Sessions and Local Device Access

Some features require Argus to access or control a browser environment on your device.

By enabling these features, you authorize Argus to use the browser profile designated for the Service, including relevant:

Cookies;
Session information;
Logged-in accounts;
Local storage;
Browser preferences;
Downloaded files; and
Authentication states.

Argus is not intended to access unrelated personal browser activity. However, you should use a dedicated browser profile for Argus where possible and avoid storing unrelated sensitive information in that profile.

You are responsible for:

Securing your device;
Protecting your operating-system account;
Protecting your browser profile;
Keeping the Argus application updated;
Reviewing connected accounts;
Signing out of accounts you no longer want connected; and
Preventing unauthorized access to your device.

The Service may not function while your device is turned off, disconnected from the internet, asleep, or otherwise unable to run the Argus desktop application.

Scheduled activity that could not run may be delayed, skipped, or started when the application next becomes available.

11. AI-Generated Content

Argus may use artificial intelligence to:

Analyze resumes;
Compare profiles with job descriptions;
Assign match scores;
Generate application answers;
Draft cover letters;
Summarize qualifications;
Classify jobs; and
Assist with form completion.

AI-generated content may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, inappropriate, or misleading.

You acknowledge that:

AI output should not be treated as verified fact;
Match scores are estimates rather than objective determinations;
Similar jobs may receive different scores;
AI may misunderstand a job description or your experience;
Generated answers may require editing; and
Human review may be necessary before submitting an application.

You remain responsible for all content submitted using your account.

12. Connected AI Providers

Argus may allow you to connect an AI provider using your own API key, account, subscription, or credentials.

When you connect an AI provider:

You authorize Argus to send relevant information to that provider;
The provider may receive job descriptions, resume information, profile information, and application questions;
The provider’s terms and privacy policy apply;
You are responsible for charges imposed by the provider;
You are responsible for maintaining sufficient credits or account access; and
You are responsible for selecting appropriate privacy and data-retention settings.

We do not control the accuracy, availability, pricing, security, retention practices, or model-training policies of third-party AI providers.

Argus subscription fees do not include third-party AI usage fees unless expressly stated.

You must not provide an AI provider key that you are not authorized to use.

13. User Accounts and Security

You may need an account to use some or all of the Service.

You agree to:

Provide accurate registration information;
Keep your information current;
Maintain the confidentiality of your credentials;
Use reasonable account-security measures;
Prevent unauthorized access to your account; and
Notify us promptly of suspected unauthorized access.

You are responsible for activities performed through your account unless those activities result directly from a security failure within systems controlled by Argus.

You must not share, sell, rent, transfer, or provide access to your account except where we expressly permit team or organizational accounts.

We may require additional verification or temporarily restrict access when we detect suspicious activity.

14. Privacy and Data Protection

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, store, disclose, and protect personal information.

By using the Service, you acknowledge that your information will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or other processing of personal information.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, contact us at hello@argusapply.com.

We may impose limits relating to:

Applications per day;

Connected job boards;
Automation frequency;
Concurrent processes;
AI requests;
Browser sessions;

Is abusive;
Is fraudulent;
Creates platform risk;
Causes excessive resource usage;
Violates third-party rules;
Harms employers or other candidates;
Attempts to evade limits; or
Is inconsistent with normal use of the Service.

19. Fair Use and Rate Limits

Certain plans may be described as offering “unlimited” job discovery, job matching, connected job boards, or job applications.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, “unlimited” means subject to reasonable fair-use, technical, security, and anti-abuse limits.

Unlimited access does not permit:

Automated resale;
Commercial processing for third parties;
Shared-account usage;
Abnormally high resource consumption;
Circumvention of processing limits;
Use across unauthorized devices or users;
Bulk processing unrelated to the account holder’s own job search; or
Activity that threatens Service stability.

We may enforce fair-use limits through throttling, queuing, temporary restrictions, or account suspension.

Where practical, we will attempt to notify you before applying a permanent restriction, unless immediate action is required for security, legal, or abuse-prevention reasons.

20. License to Use Argus

Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to install and use the Argus desktop application and access the Service.

This license permits you to use Argus only for its intended purpose and only for the duration of your authorized access.

Argus is licensed, not sold.

You do not acquire ownership of the software, source code, infrastructure, trademarks, design, models, workflows, or other intellectual property associated with the Service.

22. Feedback

If you provide suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, modify, publish, and incorporate that feedback without compensation or obligation to you.

This does not give us ownership of your resume, profile, or other User Content.

23. Subscriptions and Payments

Certain features require a paid subscription.

Subscription prices, billing periods, features, limits, taxes, and payment terms will be displayed before purchase.

By purchasing a subscription, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge the applicable fees and taxes to your selected payment method.

By purchasing an automatically renewing subscription, you authorize recurring charges at the price disclosed during checkout or subsequently notified to you.

We may provide a refund period of 30 days for a user’s first subscription purchase.

When your access ends:

Your license to use Argus ends;
You must stop using paid or restricted features;
Scheduled automation may stop;
Connected sessions may no longer function;
You may lose access to stored information; and
You remain responsible for fees incurred before termination.

Termination does not automatically withdraw applications already submitted or delete information held by employers, job boards, AI providers, or other third parties.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect, including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, disputes, and payment obligations.

37. Changes to These Terms

Updated Terms will become effective when posted or on the date stated in the notice.

If changes are material, we may notify you by email, within the Service, or through another reasonable method.

If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel any active subscription.

Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law.

38. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Before starting formal proceedings, you agree to contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith discussion.

Written notice of a dispute should be sent to hello@argusapply.com.

If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, either party may pursue available legal remedies in the courts located in Delhi, India.

Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable consumer right to bring a claim in another court or jurisdiction.

39. Export Controls and Sanctions

You may not use, export, or provide access to the Service in violation of applicable export-control, sanctions, or trade laws.

You represent that you are not prohibited from receiving the Service under applicable law.

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

If it cannot be modified, it will be removed without affecting the remaining provisions.

43. Waiver

Our failure or delay in enforcing a provision does not waive our right to enforce it later.

A waiver is effective only if made in writing by an authorized representative of Argus.

44. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and any additional terms presented for a specific feature or plan, form the entire agreement between you and Argus concerning the Service.
