Effective Date: 2025-06-04
Last Updated: 2026-02-28
These Terms of Service and Software License Agreement (collectively, the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of CVOR-branded software products, including:
- the CVOR Mobile Application (iOS and Android), and
- the CVOR Scout Desktop Job Matching Engine (macOS and other supported desktop platforms),
(each a “Product”, together the “CVOR Products”).
The CVOR Products are owned and operated by CVOR Technologies Ltd, a company incorporated in England and Wales (“CVOR,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).
By downloading, installing, purchasing, or using any CVOR Product, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the CVOR Products.
1. Nature of the CVOR Products
CVOR provides locally installed software tools, not hosted or managed services.
The CVOR Products are designed so that sensitive processing occurs:
- locally on your device, and/or
- within third-party services that you explicitly choose, connect, and control (such as Google Drive, Google Sheets, or user-provided AI / LLM APIs).
CVOR does not operate servers that intentionally store, analyse, or centrally process:
- resumes or CVs
- job match activity
- job applications
- user documents
- centralised user profiles or behavioural data
Except for limited infrastructure strictly necessary to distribute software updates, provide licensing entitlements, process payments via third-party merchants, and collect anonymised diagnostic information (where applicable), CVOR does not operate backend services that handle user content.
CVOR is not:
- a job board
- a recruiter, employer, or employment agency
- an agent acting on your behalf
- a data broker or advertising platform
- a marketplace or intermediary between candidates and employers
The CVOR Products are tools, not employment services.
2. License Grant (All Products)
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, CVOR grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the CVOR Products for:

in accordance with the Product documentation and intended functionality.
You may not:
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code
- modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works
- redistribute, resell, lease, sublicense, or commercially exploit any Product
- use the Products for unlawful, harmful, deceptive, or abusive purposes
All rights not expressly granted are reserved by CVOR.
CVOR may suspend or terminate your license if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Products and uninstall any copies. Because the Products use local processing, you remain responsible for any data stored on your device after termination.
