Terms & Conditions

Effective date: April 21, 2026  ·  Last updated: April 28, 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and DebriefAI ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the DebriefAI desktop application, website, and all related services (collectively, the "Services").

By installing the App, creating an account, or using any part of the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use DebriefAI. By using the Services you represent and warrant that:

  • You are 18 years of age or older.
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
  • Your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation.
  • All information you provide to us is accurate and complete.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account immediately if we have reason to believe you do not meet these requirements.

2. Description of Service

DebriefAI is a desktop application that captures audio during a job interview (with your knowledge and, where required, the consent of other parties), transcribes that audio, and generates an AI-powered coaching debrief to help you improve your interview performance. The Services include:

  • Audio capture of your microphone and system audio during a designated session
  • Automated speech-to-text transcription of the recorded session
  • AI-generated structured coaching analysis including dimension scores, timeline events, interviewer signal interpretation, and an advancement probability estimate
  • A session history view within the App for reviewing past debriefs
  • Account management and subscription billing

The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or error-free operation.

3. Account Registration & Security

To use the Services you must create an account using a valid email address or a supported third-party sign-in provider (e.g., Google). You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
  • All activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorised by you.
  • Notifying us immediately at support@debriefai.co if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

You may not share your account with any other person. One account per user. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that we determine are being shared.

4. Recording Consent & Legal Compliance

This is the most important section. Recording laws vary by jurisdiction and violation can carry civil or criminal penalties. Read this carefully.

4a. Your Sole Responsibility

DebriefAI enables you to record audio from your microphone and the audio playing through your device (typically including the voices of other participants on a call). You are solely and entirely responsible for ensuring that your recording activity complies with all applicable laws, including but not limited to wiretapping laws, electronic surveillance laws, and recording consent laws in your jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of any other party being recorded.

4b. Consent Requirements

Many jurisdictions require the consent of all parties to a conversation before it may be lawfully recorded ("all-party" or "two-party" consent jurisdictions). Examples include California (USA), Illinois (USA), and most European Union member states. You must understand and comply with the consent requirements that apply to you.

DebriefAI does not notify, disclose to, or obtain consent from any party other than you. The App has no mechanism to do so. This is a deliberate design decision to avoid disrupting interview flow, and it means the burden of compliance rests entirely with you.

4c. Recommended Disclosure

We strongly recommend disclosing to any interviewer or other participant at the start of your session that the conversation may be recorded for personal coaching and professional development purposes. Many employers and recruiters will find this acceptable; some may not. It is your responsibility to seek their consent where required.

4d. Our Limitation of Liability

DebriefAI shall not be liable for any claim, damages, fines, penalties, or legal costs arising from your failure to obtain legally required consent to record. By using the App you indemnify and hold harmless DebriefAI and its officers, employees, and agents from any claim arising from your recording activity.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

  • Record any conversation without all required legal consents.
  • Use the Services to record conversations in which you are not a participant.
  • Use the Services for any illegal, harmful, fraudulent, or deceptive purpose.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or extract the source code of the App beyond what is expressly permitted by applicable law.
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Services or any output of the Services for commercial purposes without our written permission.
  • Attempt to circumvent session limits or tier enforcement mechanisms.
  • Submit false information to obtain access to the Services or a free or discounted tier.
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to our servers or infrastructure.
  • Use the Services in any way that could harm, overburden, or impair the availability of the Services for other users.

We reserve the right to investigate any suspected violation of these rules and to terminate accounts or take legal action where appropriate.

6. AI-Generated Content & Disclaimer

The debrief reports, scores, analysis, and coaching recommendations generated by DebriefAI are produced by artificial intelligence and are provided for informational and coaching purposes only. They do not constitute professional advice of any kind — legal, employment, psychological, or otherwise.

  • AI output may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations.
  • Advancement probability estimates are indicative only and are not predictions of actual hiring outcomes.
  • Interviewer signal analysis is based on speech patterns and tone; it is not an authoritative reading of any person's intent.
  • Do not make significant career decisions based solely on DebriefAI output. Exercise your own independent judgment.

We make no warranty that the AI analysis is accurate, complete, or fit for any particular purpose. We are not liable for any decision you make based on the analysis.

7. Subscription, Billing & Payments

7a. Free Tier

New accounts receive access to a free tier that includes a limited number of interview sessions (the current limit is displayed within the App and on our website). Free tier sessions are lifetime allocations — they do not reset. Once the free allocation is exhausted, you must upgrade to continue using the Service.

7b. Pro Subscription

The Pro tier provides unlimited sessions for a monthly subscription fee (the current price is displayed at checkout and on our website). By subscribing you authorise us to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis until you cancel.

7c. Billing

  • Billing occurs on the same calendar date each month from the date of your first payment.
  • All fees are in US Dollars (USD) and are inclusive of any applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
  • We use a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. We do not store your card details.
  • If a payment fails, we will retry up to three times over a reasonable period before suspending your Pro access.

7d. Cancellation

You may cancel your Pro subscription at any time from within the App or by contacting support@debriefai.co. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain Pro access until that date. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial billing periods.

7e. Refunds

All payments are non-refundable unless required by applicable law. If you believe you have been charged in error, contact us within 14 days of the charge and we will investigate.

7f. Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. We will provide at least 30 days' advance notice of any price increase via email. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

8. Intellectual Property

8a. Our Property

The App, the Services, all underlying software, algorithms, models, code, design, trademarks, and brand assets are the exclusive property of DebriefAI or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

We do not claim any ownership over your content.

8d. Feedback

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or bug reports to us, you grant us the right to use that feedback freely without any obligation to you.

10. Third-Party Services & Links

The Services integrate with third-party providers for authentication, payment processing, transcription, and AI analysis. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

13. Termination

13b. By Us

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately and without notice if we determine, in our sole discretion, that:

  • You have violated these Terms.
  • Your use of the Services poses a legal, security, or reputational risk to DebriefAI or other users.
  • Required by law or regulatory authority.
  • Your account is inactive for more than 24 consecutive months.

We will provide reasonable advance notice where possible. On termination, your license to use the App ends immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 15, and 16 — will continue in full force and effect.

14. Service Modifications & Availability

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (or any feature) at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of significant changes. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall first be submitted to good-faith negotiation by contacting us at legal@debriefai.co. If negotiation fails within 30 days, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in English under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis — class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm. You waive any right to a jury trial.

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you may also have the right to bring proceedings before the courts of your country of domicile.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
