Terms of Service

1. Introduction & Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Trainee.in. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," "your") and Tagsom AB ("Company," "we," "us," "our"), governing your access to and use of the Trainee.in website, platform, and all associated services (collectively, the "Service").

By registering an account, accessing, or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

2. Description of Service

Trainee.in is a career development platform designed to help individuals — particularly students, graduates, and early-career professionals — find internships and junior employment opportunities. The Service includes, but is not limited to:

• AI-assisted CV and cover letter generation tools
• Internship and junior job listings and matching
• Career development resources, guides, and research reports
• User profiles visible to prospective employers (where opted in)

No Employment Guarantee: Our tools are designed to meaningfully improve your job search outcomes. However, we make no guarantee that use of the Service will result in a job offer, interview, placement, or any specific career outcome. Results depend on many factors outside our control.

Service Availability: The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We utilise third-party infrastructure providers, including Vercel and Supabase, and cannot guarantee uninterrupted access or complete freedom from errors. We are not liable for any service interruptions, downtime, or data loss caused by infrastructure failures.

3. Eligibility

To create an account and use the Service, you must meet the following requirements:

• Minimum age: You must be at least 16 years old. Users aged 16–17 confirm that they have obtained parental or guardian consent where required by the laws of their country of residence.
• Legal capacity: You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under applicable law.
• Accurate information: You must provide truthful, accurate, and complete information during registration and keep it up to date.
• Single account: You may only maintain one personal account. Creating duplicate accounts is not permitted.

4. Accounts & Termination

• Account security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@trainee.in if you suspect unauthorised access.
• Inactive account policy: Accounts that have been inactive for more than 12 consecutive months may be subject to deletion. Before any deletion, we will send at least two email notifications — the first at 30 days prior, and a final reminder at 7 days prior — to the email address registered on your account, giving you the opportunity to log in and reactivate your account. We will not delete an account without providing this notice.
• Termination by you: You may close your account at any time through the Settings section of your profile. Upon deletion, your personal data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.
• Termination by us: We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account, without prior notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or used the Service in a way that causes harm to others or to Trainee.in.

5. Content, Intellectual Property & Data

To the fullest extent permitted by Swedish and EU law:

• Tagsom AB shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you may also submit a complaint to the EU Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
