Terms of Service

Version: 2026-08-31-v6
Last updated: 2026-08-31

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern use of dotint.careers (the "Service").

The Service is operated by Spherical Origins GmbH & Co. KG, Kurt-Schumacher-Str. 2, 53113 Bonn, Germany ("we", "us", "our"). You can contact us at support@dotint.careers. Further company information is available in our Impressum. Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

1. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old to create or use an account. We may apply reasonable registration, security and access controls. You must provide accurate account information, keep your sign-in details secure, and inform us promptly if you suspect unauthorized account access. Your account is for your own use.

2. What dotint.careers provides

The Service helps users identify international career opportunities and prepare application materials. Features may include vacancy collection and summaries, profile and P.11 management, matching and ranking, candidate-facing explanations, career-priority guidance, CV review, cover-letter and other application drafts, vacancy notifications, public or editorial publications, optional advisory support, and the referral programme.

dotint.careers is not affiliated with any hiring organisation and does not apply on your behalf. You remain responsible for checking the original vacancy announcement, determining whether to apply, and submitting any application directly according to the employer's instructions.

We do not guarantee that a vacancy is still available, that you are eligible, or that you will receive an interview, offer, appointment, or any other result.

3. Your information and materials

You retain your rights in material you provide, such as your CV, P.11 data, profile entries and application drafts. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to store, reproduce, structure, analyse, adapt and display that material only as needed to provide, secure and maintain the Service and the features you request.

You must have the right to provide material you submit. Do not submit unlawful content or personal information about other people unless you are entitled to do so. Please do not enter sensitive personal information that is not needed for your job search, as described in the Privacy Policy.

4. Automated assistance and AI providers

The Service uses automated processing and artificial-intelligence tools to extract and summarise vacancy information, compare profiles with vacancies, produce scores, rankings and explanations, provide career-priority guidance, review CV information, suggest application text, and assist with public or editorial publications.

Automated outputs are advisory and may be incomplete or wrong. They do not determine formal eligibility, guarantee an application outcome, or represent a decision by an employer. You must review generated material before using it and verify authoritative vacancy requirements, deadlines and application instructions in the original vacancy notice.

We may use OpenAI and OpenRouter as an AI-routing gateway to an approved downstream provider. The Privacy Policy identifies the data categories, safeguards and recipient role that apply to that processing.

Individual match scores, rankings and explanations are provided exclusively to you. They are not shared with hiring organisations. The only exception is the limited view you separately authorize for your own referring Ambassador under section 6.

A label stating that a publication is AI-assisted describes how the material was collected or drafted. We retain the editorial responsibility for the content we publish on the public website. The content in the user extranet is fully AI-generated.

5. Referral Programme Rules

The optional referral programme is governed by the separately versioned Referral Programme Rules. Those rules describe qualification, monthly point grants, redemption, payout requests, reversals and programme changes. Referral points are not money, do not create an employment or agency relationship, and do not guarantee a service entitlement or payout unless the applicable rules and the Service present that outcome to you.

6. Optional support from your referring Ambassador

An Ambassador is an independent person who may introduce the Service and offer guidance. Ambassadors are not our employees, recruiters or representatives, do not represent hiring organisations, and cannot promise matches, interviews, appointments, visas or other outcomes.

If the person who originally referred you is an active Ambassador, you may separately choose to let that Ambassador see specified information in your account so they can support you. This choice is optional, turned off by default, and is not required to register, pay, receive matching or use the Service. The consent screen names the Ambassador, lists the information they may see, and identifies excluded information. You may withdraw your permission at any time. Withdrawing permission ends future access immediately but does not change the original referral attribution or referral rewards already recorded under the Referral Programme Rules.

An Ambassador may independently offer a paid personal consultation. Any such consultation and fee are agreed directly between you and the Ambassador and are not charged or guaranteed by dotint.careers. Where dotint.careers arranges a consultation delivered by an Ambassador as part of the Service, the applicable booking terms govern and the Ambassador must not charge you separately for that consultation.

7. Acceptable use

You must not:

• provide fraudulent, misleading or unlawful material;
• use the Service to impersonate another person or interfere with another person's account;
• attempt to circumvent access controls, obtain unauthorized data, disrupt the Service or use it for spam or abusive automation; or
• use generated material in a way that infringes rights or misrepresents your qualifications.

8. Access and paid services

Paid plans and one-off advisory services are offered at the prices and with the included features shown before you order. Payments are processed through Stripe. Creating an account or adding profile information does not itself activate paid features. The price, duration, renewal terms and included features that apply to an order are shown before payment.

If an initial payment fails, paid access does not start. If a later payment fails or a paid plan ends, paid features may cease or be reduced according to the then-current plan access.

9. Ordinary cancellation and refunds

Ordinary cancellation is separate from a statutory withdrawal right.

• Monthly plans: You may cancel for the end of the current paid monthly billing period. We do not offer a partial-month refund for an ordinary cancellation, except where mandatory law requires one.
• Annual plans cancelled by you: If you cancel early, your cancellation takes effect at the end of the monthly access period then in progress, measured from the start of the annual subscription. We calculate any refund by converting the access supplied up to that date to the equivalent monthly plan price, deducting those monthly amounts from your prepaid annual price, and deducting any included advisory appointment treated as used below at the price disclosed when you ordered. We refund the remaining balance, if any. Mandatory rights remain unaffected.
• Termination by us without breach: We may terminate a paid plan on 30 days' notice. In this case, we refund unused prepaid annual access on a simple pro-rata basis.

An unused advisory appointment included in an annual Premium plan is not deducted from an annual-plan refund. An appointment is treated as used once it has taken place, if you miss it, or if you cancel less than 48 hours before its scheduled start. You may cancel an appointment at least 48 hours before its scheduled start without that appointment being treated as used. Any replacement appointment must be arranged separately and is subject to availability.

10. Consumer withdrawal right

If you are a consumer and enter into a paid contract with us online, you normally have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal. The period generally starts when the paid contract is concluded, not when a later first payment is collected.

Before you complete a paid order, we provide the applicable withdrawal information and a model withdrawal form. You can exercise an applicable withdrawal right by making a clear statement to support@dotint.careers; no reason is required.

An advisor appointment included in an annual Premium subscription will not be delivered before 14 days have passed since conclusion of that paid subscription contract. If appointment scheduling is offered during that period, selectable times will start only after that period has expired.

For a separately purchased advisory service, the applicable withdrawal information and any required choice about service performance during the withdrawal period will be provided before you order.

Model withdrawal form

To withdraw from an eligible paid contract, you may email the following statement, with your details completed, to support@dotint.careers:

I hereby withdraw from the contract concluded by me for the provision of the following service: [plan or advisory service]. Ordered on: [date]. Name: [your name]. Address: [your address]. Date: [date].

You do not have to use this model form; any clear statement that identifies the contract and your decision to withdraw is sufficient.

11. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access without advance notice where reasonably necessary because of a material breach, fraud, abuse, security risk or legal obligation. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

You may stop using the Service at any time. Account deletion and data-handling requests may be submitted as described in the Privacy Policy.

12. Availability and liability

We seek to provide a reliable Service but cannot promise uninterrupted availability or that automated output and third-party vacancy information are error-free.

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under mandatory product-liability rules, and where we have given an express guarantee. For simple negligence, we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation and only for damage that was foreseeable and typical when the contract was concluded. Mandatory consumer rights are unaffected.

13. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may develop, amend or discontinue Service features. Where changes materially affect your contract or these Terms, we will give appropriate notice and obtain acceptance where required.

14. Governing law and consumer disputes

German law applies, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections that apply in the country of their habitual residence. Statutory rules determine the competent courts for consumer disputes.
