Terms of Service

Last updated 2026-07-12

Lynder, a general partnership operated from California, USA ("Lynder," "we," "us," or "our")

  • Effective date: 2026-07-12
  • Last updated: 2026-07-12

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Lynder, a general partnership operated from California, USA, governing your access to and use of the Lynder website, application, AI agent, and related services (together, the "Service").

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. They include an AS-IS disclaimer (Section 12), a limitation of liability (Section 13), an indemnification obligation (Section 14), and a dispute-resolution and governing-law provision (Section 15) that affect your legal rights.

By creating an account, clicking "I agree," or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility and acceptance

  • You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service.
  • If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.
  • You agree to comply with these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws.

2. Your account

  • Registration. You must provide accurate information and keep it current.
  • Credentials. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at info@lynder.ai of any unauthorized use.
  • One account. You may not maintain multiple accounts to evade limits or enforcement, share your account, or let others use it.
  • Suspension/termination. We may suspend or terminate your account as described in Section 11.

3. Description of the Service

Lynder is an AI agent that helps engineers get hired at startups. Depending on the features you enable, the Service may:

  • monitor public hiring signals and surface opportunities;
  • prepare outreach drafts, follow-ups, and application materials (including AI-generated content);
  • with your connected email account and your explicit, per-message approval, send outreach on your behalf, from your own account; and
  • suggest time-based follow-up drafts for your review after a period passes without action on an application.

Lynder never reads your mailbox. The Gmail permission the Service requests is send-only: it cannot access, list, search, or read your email, and it cannot see whether — or what — anyone replies. Replies to your outreach arrive in your own inbox, visible only to you. Because of this, follow-up suggestions are based on time since your send, not on inbox state, and it is up to you to skip a follow-up if a reply has already arrived.

The Service is under active development. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time, as described in Section 10.

4. Connected accounts (Gmail, GitHub) and third-party services

  • You may connect third-party accounts (such as Google/Gmail and GitHub). You are never required to; some features depend on it.
  • By connecting an account, you authorize Lynder to access and use it as described in our Privacy Policy, Section 5. For Gmail, that access is send-only — Lynder cannot read your mailbox. You must comply with that provider's terms (including the Google Terms of Service and GitHub Terms of Service).
  • Lynder's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. See the Privacy Policy, Section 3.
  • You can disconnect a connected account, or revoke Lynder's access with the provider, at any time.
  • We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or their acts and omissions. Your use of them is governed by their terms, not ours.

5. You review, approve, and send your own outreach

THIS SECTION IS FUNDAMENTAL TO HOW LYNDER WORKS. READ IT CAREFULLY.

  • Lynder does not send anything on its own. The Service prepares drafts for you. No outreach is sent unless and until you personally review and approve that specific message.
  • You are the sender. When you approve a message, it is sent from your own connected email account. For every message you approve, you are the sender of record, and the message is your communication, not Lynder's.
  • You are responsible for your outreach. You are solely responsible for the recipients you contact, the content you approve, and all consequences of the messages sent under your account — including compliance with all applicable laws governing email and electronic communications (see Section 6).
  • Review before you approve. AI-generated drafts may contain errors, outdated information, or content that is not appropriate for a given recipient. You must review each draft and are responsible for verifying its accuracy and suitability before approving it. Do not approve a message you have not read and do not stand behind.
  • Lynder is a tool, not the author of your messages. As between you and Lynder, you own and are responsible for the outreach you approve and send. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lynder is not liable for the content, delivery, non-delivery, or consequences of any message you approve.
  • Replies are yours alone. Responses to your outreach arrive in your own email account. Lynder holds no permission to read your mailbox and will never see, track, or act on replies; monitoring and answering them is your responsibility.

6. Acceptable use and anti-spam

You agree to use the Service lawfully and honestly. You will not, and will not use the Service to:

  • send spam, bulk unsolicited messages, or messages that violate the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 7701 et seq.), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (where applicable), Canada's CASL, the EU ePrivacy rules, or any other applicable anti-spam or electronic-marketing law;
  • send messages with false or misleading headers, "From," "To," or routing information, or deceptive subject lines, or otherwise misrepresent your identity or the origin of a message;
  • send outreach without a functioning way for recipients to opt out where required by law, or ignore opt-out/unsubscribe requests;
  • harass, threaten, defame, or send content that is unlawful, discriminatory, obscene, or infringing;
  • upload or transmit content that infringes intellectual-property or privacy rights, or that you do not have the right to use;
  • upload malware or attempt to breach, probe, or disrupt the Service or its security, or access it through unauthorized means;
  • scrape, harvest, or collect data about non-users other than for your own legitimate outreach, or in violation of any third party's terms or applicable law;
  • use the Service to build or train a competing product, or resell the Service without our permission;
  • exceed rate/usage limits, circumvent access controls, or reverse-engineer the Service except as permitted by law.

CAN-SPAM compliance is your responsibility. Because messages are sent from your own account with your approval, you are the "sender" and are responsible for meeting CAN-SPAM's requirements — including accurate header/subject information, identifying the message appropriately, providing a valid physical postal address where required, honoring opt-outs promptly, and not using deceptive practices. See the FTC's CAN-SPAM compliance guide.

We may investigate and take action (including removing content, throttling, or suspending accounts) for suspected violations, but we have no obligation to monitor your use and do not pre-screen outreach.

7. Your content and license

  • You own your content. You retain all rights to the information and materials you provide, including your profile, resume, and outreach content ("User Content"). Lynder claims no ownership of it.
  • License to operate the Service. You grant Lynder a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, transmit, display, and create derivative works of your User Content solely to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service for you — for example, to store your resume, generate drafts and tailored materials, and send outreach you approve. This license is limited to operating the Service and ends when you delete the content or your account, except for residual copies retained as described in the Privacy Policy, Section 8.
  • No sale, no ads, no training on Google data. We do not sell your User Content, do not use it for advertising, and do not use Google user data to train generalized AI/ML models (see Privacy Policy, Section 3).
  • Your responsibility. You represent that you have the rights necessary to provide your User Content and to authorize the outreach you approve, and that your User Content and outreach do not violate these Terms or any law or third-party right.
  • Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use it without obligation to you.

8. AI-generated output; no guarantee of outcomes

  • AI output may be wrong. The Service uses AI (including AWS Bedrock) to generate drafts, materials, and suggestions. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable. It is provided for your review, not as professional, legal, career, or employment advice.
  • You must verify. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying any AI-generated content before you rely on it, submit it, or approve it for sending. Do not send AI output you have not checked.
  • No guarantee of employment or results. Lynder helps you find and pursue opportunities but does not guarantee interviews, responses, offers, employment, or any particular result. Hiring decisions are made by employers, not by Lynder.
  • No warranty of accuracy of signals. Hiring signals and company information are derived from public sources and may be incomplete or out of date.

9. Fees, billing, and refunds

  • Plans. Some features require a paid subscription. Current pricing and plan details are presented at sign-up or in the Service.
  • Payment processor. Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method for the fees and applicable taxes, and you agree to Stripe's terms. We do not store your full card number.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically. Unless stated otherwise, subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate, until you cancel.
  • Cancellation. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to paid features until then.
  • Refunds. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable, and partial-period charges are not prorated.
  • Changes to fees. We may change fees on 30 days' notice before your next renewal; continued use after the change takes effect means you accept the new fees.
  • Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes, which you are responsible for except for taxes on our net income.
  • Failed payments. We may suspend or downgrade paid features for non-payment.

10. Changes to the Service and these Terms

  • Service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including during active development. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation, except as required by law.
  • Terms. We may update these Terms. If we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide notice (for example, by email or in-app). Changes take effect when posted or on the stated effective date. Your continued use after that means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and may terminate your account.

11. Term, suspension, and termination

  • By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time (see Privacy Policy, Section 8).
  • By us. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms (including Section 6), to protect the Service or other users, or to comply with law. We may also terminate for convenience on reasonable notice.
  • Effect. On termination, your right to use the Service ends. We may delete your data as described in the Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive — including 7 (as to license for retained copies), 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 — survive termination.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LYNDER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

LYNDER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; THAT AI-GENERATED OUTPUT OR HIRING SIGNALS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE; OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR OUTCOME, INCLUDING ANY INTERVIEW, RESPONSE, OFFER, OR EMPLOYMENT. YOU USE THE SERVICE, AND SEND OUTREACH, AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  • NO INDIRECT DAMAGES. LYNDER AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, OR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY, OR FOR THE CONTENT, DELIVERY, NON-DELIVERY, OR CONSEQUENCES OF ANY OUTREACH YOU APPROVE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

  • LIABILITY CAP. LYNDER'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO LYNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

These limitations form an essential basis of the bargain and apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lynder and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

  1. the outreach, messages, and content you approve, send, or transmit through or using the Service — including any claim that it is unsolicited, unlawful, deceptive, harassing, defamatory, infringing, or that it violates CAN-SPAM or any other anti-spam, privacy, marketing, or communications law;
  2. your User Content and your use of connected accounts (including Gmail and GitHub);
  3. your violation of these Terms, including the acceptable-use and anti-spam obligations in Section 6;
  4. your violation of any law or any third-party right, including intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights; and
  5. your misuse of the Service.

We may, at our option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with us. You will not settle any claim in a way that imposes any obligation or admission on Lynder without our prior written consent.

15. Governing law and dispute resolution

  • Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, as applicable, the laws of the United States.
  • Venue. You and Lynder submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, which are the sole forum for any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms.
  • Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at info@lynder.ai and try in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least 30 days.
  • Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be brought within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

16. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Lynder regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor (for example, in a merger or sale).
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
  • Relationship. These Terms do not create any partnership, agency, or employment relationship between you and Lynder.
  • Notices. We may provide notices to you by email or in-app. Send notices to us at info@lynder.ai.
