Terms of Service

To use the Platform, you must be:

• At least 18 years old.
• Legally able to enter into a contract under Indian law.
• Acting as yourself, honestly. Real name, real details, no fabricated experience or fake job listings.

If you're using Double Nod on behalf of a company, you're confirming you have the authority to act for that company and to agree to these Terms on its behalf.

• You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activity that happens under your account.
• One account per person (candidates) or per authorized organization (employers), no duplicate accounts to get around limits or verification.
• Tell us if you think your account's been compromised, and we'll help you secure it.

This section exists so there's no ambiguity about what you're agreeing to when you use the Platform:

• SignalScore™ analyzes signals from a candidate profile and an employer listing and produces a shared NodFit™ match score.
• Either side can express interest, a "nod." Neither side's identity or full profile is revealed to the other until both have nodded — a NodNod™.
• Once there's a Double Nod™, both parties can see each other's relevant details and message directly.
• Double Nod does not initiate contact on your behalf, does not act as your recruiter or agent, and does not participate in the hiring decision itself.

• Free, always. Browsing, nodding, messaging after a match, and using your account never costs a candidate anything. This is a permanent feature of the Platform, not an introductory offer.
• Optional paid add-ons (like profile-boost credits) may exist, but are never required to use the core Platform or to nod on a listing.
• You're responsible for the accuracy of the information on your profile — skills, experience, and availability you list should be genuine.

• Job postings are paid for using credits, purchased in the packages shown on the Platform at the time of purchase. Pricing may change for future purchases; credits already purchased are honored at the rate you paid.
• Credits are non-refundable once a job posting has been published, except where required by law or expressly stated otherwise.
• Business verification is required before you can purchase credits or publish any types of listings.
• You're responsible for the accuracy of your job postings, including compensation, role requirements, and company information.
• You may not use candidate information obtained through Double Nod™ for any purpose beyond evaluating that candidate for the role in question — see Section 8.

When using Double Nod, you agree not to:

• Impersonate someone else or misrepresent your identity, experience, or company.
• Attempt to bypass the mutual-nod mechanic — for example, trying to contact or identify a user before a NodNod™ has occurred.
• Scrape, harvest, or bulk-export data from the Platform, including candidate profiles or job listings.
• Sell, rent, or redistribute any data obtained through the Platform.
• Harass, threaten, or discriminate against another user.
• Upload malware, attempt to compromise Platform security, or interfere with normal operation of the service.
• Post fraudulent job listings, fake credentials, or content that infringes someone else's rights.
• Use the Platform for any purpose that's illegal under applicable law.

We may investigate, restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts where we reasonably believe these rules have been broken.

Employers and recruiters using Double Nod must comply with applicable employment, labor, and anti-discrimination law. Job postings, screening criteria, and hiring decisions must not discriminate on the basis of characteristics protected by applicable law.

NodFit™ and SignalScore™ are decision-support tools. They do not make hiring decisions, and they should never be treated as the sole basis for one, human judgment stays with you. See our Privacy Policy for more on how automated matching works.

You keep ownership of what you upload — your profile, resume, job postings, messages, and any other content you add to the Platform. By posting it, you grant Double Nod a limited license to store, display, and process that content for the purpose of operating the Platform, for example, showing your profile to a matched party after a NodNod™.

You're responsible for making sure you have the right to post whatever you upload, and that it doesn't infringe someone else's rights.

"Double Nod™," "NodFit™," "NodNod™," "SignalScore™," and our logo are trademarks of Double Nod. The Platform's design, code, and underlying technology are owned by Double Nod. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to our intellectual property beyond what's needed to use the Platform as intended.

Double Nod is a platform, not a promise. We do not guarantee:

• That you'll receive a job offer, hire a candidate, or find a match at all.
• The accuracy of information other users provide about themselves or their companies.
• That NodFit™ or SignalScore™ scores are a complete or perfectly accurate assessment of fit.
• Uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Platform at all times.

You're responsible for your own due diligence before entering into any employment or contractor relationship formed through the Platform.

The Platform is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind beyond what's required by applicable law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Double Nod is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, loss of opportunity, actions taken by other users, or the accuracy of information other users provide.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such a limitation isn't permitted under applicable Indian law.

• You may stop using Double Nod and delete your account at any time.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraud or abuse, or where we're required to by law.
• Sections of these Terms that reasonably ought to survive termination, like intellectual property and limitation of liability, continue to apply after your account is closed.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising from your use of the Platform will be subject to the jurisdiction of courts with appropriate authority in India, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

We may update these Terms as Double Nod evolves. We'll update the "Last updated" date above, and for material changes, we'll make a reasonable effort to notify you directly rather than leaving it to be discovered. Continued use of the Platform after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
