We are not responsible for how you use the Service or data obtained through it.
You retain ownership of your account information, project configurations, search parameters, notes, and other content you directly create ("Your Configuration Data"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to use, process, and store Your Configuration Data solely to provide the Service to you.
We do not use your project data, search queries, candidate data, or any outputs generated through your use of the Service for AI model training, product benchmarking, data resale, or any other commercial purpose. Access to your data within our systems is limited to engineering and technical support staff for the purpose of operating and maintaining the platform. We do not share your data with third parties except as required to provide the Service (as described in Section 7) or as required by law.
Professional data collected through the Service from third-party sources is not owned by you or by us. You acknowledge that:

AI-GENERATED CONTENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of any AI-generated summaries, analyses, scores, or recommendations. You are solely responsible for independently verifying all AI-generated content, making your own professional judgements, not relying solely on AI output for any decisions, and understanding that AI systems may produce errors, biases, or inaccurate results. We are not liable for any decisions, actions, or consequences resulting from your use of AI-generated content.
We strive to provide reliable Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We will provide advance notice for planned maintenance when possible. We may:
We are not liable for any losses resulting from Service interruptions or modifications, except as set out in Section 10.
YOU ACT AS THE DATA CONTROLLER for all third-party professional data processed through the Service. We provide tools but do not control, direct, or make decisions about how you process such data.
As Data Controller, you are solely responsible for:
For third-party professional data, we act as a Data Processor providing technical infrastructure. We process such data only as necessary to provide the Service and in accordance with your instructions. We do not use this data for any secondary purpose.
Enterprise customers may request a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) by contacting legal@topliner.app. In the event of a personal data breach affecting your data, we will notify you without undue delay and in accordance with our obligations under applicable law.
We retain your project data for as long as your account remains active and for 90 days following account closure to allow for data export. Upon request, we will provide a complete export of your project data within 14 days.
The Service uses artificial intelligence to assist with research and analysis. We comply with applicable AI regulations, including obligations under the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) applicable to us as a provider. AI-generated outputs are research tools and should always be subject to human review before being relied upon for any decision. We are not liable for decisions made solely on the basis of AI-generated outputs without human review.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED STRICTLY "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
We shall not be liable for:
These limitations of liability are fundamental elements of the agreement between you and Topliner Group B.V. The Service would not be provided without these limitations.
Each party agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party from third-party claims arising from their own gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or material breach of these Terms.
You additionally agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your use of the Service in violation of applicable law, including data protection violations arising from your role as Data Controller, and from your employment or recruitment decisions.
We additionally agree to indemnify you against claims by third-party platforms arising from our own data collection methods, and against data protection authority actions caused by our own failure to comply with our obligations as Data Processor.
You may not settle any claim that affects us without our prior written consent. This indemnification obligation survives termination of these Terms.
Either party may terminate access to the Service by providing written notice. We will not terminate your account without reasonable notice except in cases of material breach, illegal activity, or immediate security threat. Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases, any outstanding fees remain due, and we will make your project data available for export for 90 days following closure. Provisions that by their nature survive termination shall continue to apply, including confidentiality, intellectual property, indemnification, and liability limitations.
These Terms and any disputes arising out of or related to them or the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Before initiating any legal proceedings, you agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us and engaging in good faith negotiations for at least 30 days. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent interim relief from a competent court.
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, government action, fire, floods, pandemics, or strikes. Force majeure does not include failures or actions by third-party data platforms that are a foreseeable commercial risk of our operations.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. For material changes, we will provide at least 60 days' notice by email or through the Service before the changes take effect. If you do not agree to material changes, you may close your account during the notice period.
For non-material changes, we may update these Terms without prior notice by posting the modified Terms with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.
These Terms, together with any applicable Order Form or service agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Topliner Group B.V. regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Our failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall not operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing and signed by us.
You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or your rights without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations with 60 days' written notice. You have the right to terminate without penalty within 30 days of such notice if you have reasonable objection to the assignee.
These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only. In case of conflict between the English version and any translation, the English version shall prevail.
