2. Key terms at a glance

In the interests of transparency, here is a summary of the most important points. The full Terms below take precedence in the event of any inconsistency.

• Free features. You can create, edit and preview CVs, and receive AI-powered suggestions, without paying anything or providing payment details.
• Paid features. Downloading your CV (as PDF, Word or PNG) and accessing premium templates requires a paid subscription.
• Trial. The trial costs £1.99 for 14 days of full access to all features.
• Auto-renewal. At the end of your 14-day trial, your subscription will automatically renew at £19.99 per month unless you cancel before the trial ends. We will send you a reminder at least 3 days before your trial expires.
• Cancellation. You can cancel at any time in one click from your Settings page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you will retain access until then.
• Your consumer rights. As a UK consumer, you have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days of purchase. See Section 8 for full details.

3. Who can use the Service

The Service is intended for individuals who are at least 16 years of age and resident in the United Kingdom. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet these requirements.

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

4. The Service — what we provide

SpeedCV provides an online platform for creating, editing and exporting professional CVs. The Service includes:

• A CV editor with customisable templates and formatting tools;
• AI-powered suggestions to help improve the content and structure of your CV;
• The ability to save multiple CV versions;
• Export functionality to download your CV in PDF, Word or PNG format (paid feature).

We provide the Service with reasonable care and skill, in accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Service will match the description we provide on our website at the time of your purchase.

AI features. Our AI suggestions are generated by third-party AI providers (currently Anthropic and OpenAI). These suggestions are intended to assist you — they are not a substitute for your own judgement. You are solely responsible for the final content of your CV. We do not guarantee that AI suggestions will be accurate, complete, suitable for any particular role, or free from error.

5. Free and paid features

Free access. Creating an account, building and editing CVs, previewing your CV, and receiving AI-powered suggestions are all available free of charge, with no payment details required.

Paid subscription. To download your CV or access premium templates, you must subscribe to a paid plan.

6. Trial, pricing and auto-renewal

Trial period. We offer a 14-day trial for £1.99, which gives you full access to all features of the Service, including downloads and premium templates.

IMPORTANT — Automatic renewal. When your 14-day trial ends, your subscription will automatically renew to a monthly plan at £19.99 per month, unless you cancel before the end of the trial period. This is a recurring payment that will continue to be charged each month until you cancel.

What happens at renewal:

• Your payment method will be charged £19.99 on the day after your trial ends, and monthly thereafter.
• We will send you a reminder email at least 3 days before your trial ends to let you know that the paid subscription is about to begin.
• If you do not wish to continue, you must cancel before the trial period expires.

Pricing. All prices are shown in pounds sterling (£) and are inclusive of VAT where applicable. We reserve the right to change our prices, but any price change will not affect your current billing period. We will give you at least 30 days' notice of any price increase, and you will have the opportunity to cancel before the new price takes effect.

Payment. Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not have access to your full card details.

7. Cancellation by you

You can cancel your subscription at any time in one click from the Settings page within your account. You may also cancel by emailing us at [email protected].

When you cancel:

• Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period.
• You will continue to have full access to paid features until that date.
• No further charges will be made after cancellation.
• After your subscription ends, your account will revert to the free plan. Your saved CVs will still be accessible, but you will no longer be able to download them or use premium templates.

8. Your right to cancel (consumer withdrawal right)

As a consumer in the United Kingdom, you have a statutory right to cancel a distance contract within 14 days of purchase, without giving any reason. This right is provided by the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (“CCR 2013”).

When the cancellation period starts. The 14-day cancellation period begins on the day after the contract is made (i.e. the day after you purchase the trial or subscription).

How to cancel. To exercise your right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision by a clear statement. You can do so by:

• Emailing us at [email protected];
• Using the cancellation function in your Settings page; or
• Sending us a written notice to the address above.

You may use the model cancellation form set out in Schedule 3 to the CCR 2013, but this is not compulsory.

Refund. If you cancel within the 14-day period, we will reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and in any event within 14 days of the day on which we are informed of your decision to cancel. We will use the same payment method you used for the original transaction.

Loss of the right to cancel for digital content. Under Regulation 36(1) of the CCR 2013, you will lose your right to cancel once the supply of digital content has begun, provided that:

1. you have given your express consent to the supply of digital content beginning during the cancellation period; and
2. you have acknowledged that you will lose your right to cancel once the supply has begun.

We will ask for your express consent and acknowledgement during the checkout process. If you give your consent and begin using paid features (for example, downloading a CV), you will lose your statutory right to cancel in respect of that purchase.

This does not affect your right to cancel future billing periods — you can always cancel to prevent further charges (see Section 7).

9. Our right to make changes

We may make changes to the Service from time to time, including adding, modifying or removing features. Where a change materially reduces the functionality of the Service for which you are paying, we will give you at least 30 days' notice and you will have the right to cancel your subscription and receive a pro-rata refund for any unused period.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by a prominent notice on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you may cancel your subscription.

10. Intellectual property

Your content. You retain full ownership of any content you create using the Service, including the text, data and information in your CVs. We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your CV content.

Our content. The Service itself, including our CV templates, designs, software, branding, logos and website content, is owned by SpeedCV Ltd or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. You may not copy, modify, distribute or reverse-engineer any part of the Service except to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Templates. Our CV templates are licensed to you for personal use only. You may use them to create your own CVs, but you may not redistribute, resell or sublicense the templates themselves.

11. Your responsibilities

When using the Service, you agree:

• to provide accurate information in your account and CV content;
• not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose;
• not to upload content that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party;
• not to attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or its systems;
• not to use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service, except with our written permission.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms, after giving you reasonable notice and an opportunity to remedy the breach where appropriate.

12. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• any breach of the terms implied by Section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (title and quiet possession);
• any breach of the terms implied by Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015;
• defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Subject to the above, our total aggregate liability to you in connection with the Service, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amounts you have paid to us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) £100.

We are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, including loss of income, revenue, business, anticipated savings, data or goodwill.

We are not liable for any delay or failure in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control (force majeure), including but not limited to internet outages, third-party service failures, natural disasters and government actions.

13. Dispute resolution and ADR

If you have a complaint about the Service, please contact us first at [email protected]. We will do our best to resolve your complaint promptly.

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR). If we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you may wish to use an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider. We are not currently a member of, nor are we required to participate in, an ADR scheme. However, we are willing to consider using mediation or another ADR mechanism to resolve disputes with consumers on a case-by-case basis.

You can find further information about ADR and a certified ADR provider through:

• The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI): tradingstandards.uk
• The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform is no longer available following the UK's departure from the European Union.

Your right to take legal action. Nothing in this section prevents you from bringing a claim in the courts. See Section 14 for applicable jurisdiction.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer resident in England or Wales, any dispute will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident in Scotland, you may bring proceedings in the Scottish courts. If you are a consumer resident in Northern Ireland, you may bring proceedings in the Northern Irish courts.

Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer, including any mandatory protections provided by the law of the country in which you are resident.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or other competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed from these Terms without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

16. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and SpeedCV Ltd in relation to your use of the Service. They supersede all prior agreements, representations and understandings.
