Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between XylaWorks, Inc., a Texas corporation (“XylaWorks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and you (“you” or “user”). They govern your access to and use of https://www.xylaworks.com and any related web applications, mobile-optimized interfaces, APIs, or cloud-hosted features (collectively, the “Platform”).

By accessing or using the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.

We may revise these Terms at any time by updating the “Effective Date” above. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a notice on the Platform or by email. Your continued use of the Platform after the revised Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

2. About XylaWorks

XylaWorks is an AI-powered career development platform that provides automated tools for professional assessment, resume analysis, career planning, and related career intelligence. The Platform combines artificial intelligence with structured quality-assurance processes to generate career development outputs for users.

Important: XylaWorks is a technology platform — not a staffing agency, recruitment firm, career coaching service, or employment consultant. No human performs individualized coaching, consulting, or personalized advisory services through the Platform. All outputs are generated by automated systems subject to quality-assurance protocols.

XylaWorks does not guarantee employment, job placement, interviews, salary increases, or any specific career outcome. All Platform outputs — including assessments, career plans, resume analyses, and recommendations — are informational in nature and do not constitute professional, legal, financial, or employment advice. You are solely responsible for all career decisions you make.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use the Platform. By creating an account or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.

The Platform is not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will promptly delete their account and associated data.

4. Account Registration

4.1 Creating Your Account

To access certain features of the Platform, you must create an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information. You agree to update your account information promptly to keep it accurate and complete.

4.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@xylaworks.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

4.3 Account Restrictions

We may suspend, disable, or terminate your account at our discretion if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or if required by law.

5. Platform Features and Purchases

5.1 Tiered Access

The Platform offers tiered career development packages. Some features are available at no cost; others require a one-time purchase. Specific features, deliverables, and pricing for each tier are described on the Platform’s pricing page and may be updated from time to time.

5.2 Payments

All paid features are priced in U.S. dollars (USD). Payments are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. By making a purchase, you authorize XylaWorks to charge your selected payment method for the applicable fee through Stripe. Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe’s own terms of service and privacy policy.

XylaWorks does not store your full credit card number, expiration date, or CVV. All payment credentials are handled directly by Stripe in accordance with PCI-DSS standards.

5.3 No Recurring Charges

All purchases on the Platform are one-time transactions. There are no subscriptions, recurring billing, or auto-renewal charges. You will only be charged for purchases you explicitly initiate.

5.4 Refund Policy

Due to the nature of digital goods and the processing resources involved in generating Platform outputs, all purchases are final and non-refundable once processing of your order has begun. If you believe you were charged in error or experience a technical failure that prevents delivery of your purchased output, please contact us at support@xylaworks.com within 14 days of purchase. We will review your request and, at our sole discretion, may issue a full or partial refund or re-process your order.

Nothing in this section limits your rights under applicable consumer protection laws.

5.5 Pricing Changes

We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time. Price changes will not affect orders that have already been placed and paid for. We may also correct pricing errors at any time without liability.

6. Consent to AI Processing

By using the Platform, you acknowledge and consent to the following:

• Automated Processing — Your resume data, career information, assessment responses, and other inputs you provide will be processed by artificial intelligence and machine learning systems to generate Platform outputs.
• Third-Party AI Infrastructure — XylaWorks utilizes third-party AI services (including large language models) hosted on secure cloud infrastructure to process your data. Your data is transmitted to and processed by these services subject to our data processing agreements and security controls.
• No Guaranteed Accuracy — AI-generated outputs may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or biases. All outputs are provided for informational purposes and general guidance only. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and deciding whether to rely on any output.
• Quality Assurance — Platform outputs may be subject to automated and manual quality-assurance processes. These processes are system-level reviews, not individualized consulting services.
• Continuous Improvement — Anonymized and aggregated data derived from Platform usage may be used to improve AI models and Platform functionality, as further described in our Privacy Policy.

XylaWorks disclaims all liability for any loss, damage, or adverse outcome arising from your reliance on AI-generated content.

18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

18.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Platform shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the applicable federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall take place in Dallas County, Texas, unless the parties mutually agree to an alternative location or virtual hearing.

18.4 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND XYLAWORKS EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. All disputes must be brought in an individual capacity. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be void.

18.5 Court Jurisdiction

If arbitration is unenforceable or inapplicable for any reason, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas.

18.6 Time Limitation

Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose, or it will be permanently barred.

The Platform is operated from the United States. If you access the Platform from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws.

As XylaWorks expands internationally, additional jurisdiction-specific terms may be published as supplements to these Terms.

• Severability — If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
• No Waiver — Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
