Terms of Service

Effective date: August 7, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using LightningApply. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Doxa Technologies LLC, doing business as LightningApply (“Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), governing your access to and use of the LightningApply platform, website, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By registering for an account, clicking “I agree”, or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you are at least 16 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

2. Description of Service

LightningApply is an AI-powered job application tool that helps users generate tailored resumes and cover letters from job postings. The Service allows you to:

  • Create and maintain a professional profile, including importing details from an existing resume
  • Submit job postings — by pasting text or providing a link — and receive AI-generated application documents
  • Edit and download resume and cover letter PDFs
  • Manage multiple job applications in one place
  • Use additional AI-assisted features, such as interview preparation, profile suggestions, and job discovery, where available on your plan
  • Subscribe to a plan to generate documents each month

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time with reasonable notice. We are not liable for any such changes.

3. Account Registration and Security

To access most features, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information
  • Maintain and promptly update your information as necessary
  • Keep your password secure and confidential
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach
  • Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

You may not share your account credentials with others or create accounts on behalf of third parties without their express consent. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
  • Use the Service to create documents intended to misrepresent your qualifications
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its infrastructure
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service
  • Use automated bots, scrapers, or scripts to access the Service without written permission
  • Transmit viruses, malware, or any harmful code
  • Harass, abuse, or harm other users
  • Use the Service in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations
  • Resell or sublicense access to the Service without written authorization

We may suspend or terminate your account without notice if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms.

5. Memberships, Trials, and Payments

Free Trial. New accounts start with a free trial that unlocks the Service's features for a limited time and a limited number of generated documents. When the trial ends, access to the Service's features requires an active membership.

Memberships. Memberships are billed monthly and renew automatically until cancelled. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of generated documents and grants access to the features it lists. You may cancel at any time from your account page; your benefits continue until the end of the billing period already paid for, after which the membership simply stops renewing.

Feature Availability. Some features — such as importing a job posting from a link, interview preparation, profile suggestions, and job discovery — are made available only on certain plans, and only while those features are enabled. Which features a plan includes may differ between plans and may change over time. We may add, modify, limit, suspend, or remove any feature at any time, including changing which plans include a given feature or turning a feature off entirely, and a feature being available at signup is not a guarantee that it will remain available. If we materially reduce the features included in your current plan, we will provide reasonable notice.

Top-Offs. Members who reach their monthly document allowance may purchase a one-time top-off for additional documents. Unused top-off documents carry over between billing periods and are non-refundable except where required by law.

Refunds. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable, and cancelling does not entitle you to a refund for the current billing period. Cancelling before a renewal date stops future charges.

Price Changes. We may change plan prices or the contents of a plan from time to time. Any price change applies to future billing periods, and we will give you advance notice of material changes.

Payment Processing. Payments are processed by Stripe. By starting a membership or purchasing a top-off, you agree to Stripe's terms of service. We do not store your payment card details.

6. Your Content and Intellectual Property

Your Content. You retain full ownership of the content you submit to LightningApply, including your profile information, job postings, and the AI-generated documents derived from your data. By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your content solely to operate and improve the Service.

AI-Generated Documents. The resumes and cover letters generated by the Service are based on your inputs and are created for your personal use. You own the generated output and may use it however you choose, including submitting it to employers.

Our Intellectual Property. All software, designs, trademarks, and content that are part of the LightningApply platform — excluding your content — are owned by us or our licensors. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of our platform without written permission.

Feedback. If you provide feedback or suggestions, we may use them to improve the Service without any obligation to you.

7. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review it to understand how we collect, use, and protect your information.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party AI providers to generate documents, and with Stripe for payment processing. With your consent, we also use third-party advertising services to measure our marketing, as described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of these integrations is subject to the respective third-party terms of service. We are not responsible for the performance, accuracy, or actions of third-party services.

Links to third-party websites or services are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for any third-party content, products, or services.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

  • The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
  • AI-generated documents will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular use
  • Use of the Service will result in job interviews or employment
  • Defects will be corrected

You use the Service at your own risk and are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all AI-generated content before submitting it to employers.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LIGHTNINGAPPLY, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

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

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LightningApply and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time, and you may cancel your membership from your account page to prevent future charges.

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service at our sole discretion, without notice or liability, for reasons including but not limited to violation of these Terms, fraudulent or illegal activity, or extended inactivity.

Sections 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive termination of these Terms.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules, except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

You waive any right to participate in a class-action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against LightningApply.

14. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via email or a prominent in-app notice at least 14 days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Service.
