Terms of Service

Curio is a job-search assistant operated by Ventana Global LLC, a Illinois limited liability company, doing business as Curio. By checking the acceptance box, creating an account, or using curiojobs.com or any Curio service (together, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or an in-product notice before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, cancel your subscription and stop using the Service before the change takes effect.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is offered from the United States and is intended for users searching for employment; you may use it only for your own personal, non-commercial job search. You may not use the Service on behalf of another person or entity without our written permission.

Curio collects job listings from publicly available sources and third-party data providers, uses automated systems (including large language models) to compare them against the career profile and preferences you provide, and delivers a ranked shortlist to your dashboard and email.

• We are not an employer, recruiter, or employment agency. We do not create job listings, we do not submit applications on your behalf, and we generally have no relationship with the employers whose listings appear in your matches.
• We do not guarantee outcomes. We make no promise that you will receive matches, interviews, offers, or employment, or that any particular listing is current, accurate, lawful, or still open.
• Applications happen off-platform. When you click through to a listing, you leave the Service and deal directly with the employer or job board under their terms.
• Curio is not professional advice. Match rationales, summaries, and other outputs are informational only and are not career, legal, financial, or other professional advice.

Curio uses passwordless sign-in: a single-use link sent to your email address. You are responsible for maintaining control of that email account and for all activity that occurs under your Curio account. Notify us immediately at support@curiojobs.com if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization. You must provide accurate information and keep it current.

The Service is offered as a paid subscription of $29.99 per month (or the equivalent price shown at checkout in your local currency), plus any applicable taxes, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.

• Automatic renewal. Unless you cancel before your trial ends, your payment method will be charged $29.99 — or the equivalent in your local currency, plus applicable taxes — when the trial ends and then monthly on each renewal date until you cancel. By starting a trial or subscription you expressly authorize these recurring charges.
• How to cancel.Cancel anytime in Settings → Billing, which opens the billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then.
• Refunds. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide credits for partial billing periods. The free trial exists so you can evaluate the Service before paying.
• EEA and UK consumers. If you are a consumer in the EEA or UK, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal from the purchase, exercised through Link/Stripe as merchant of record; by starting the Service during that period you request immediate performance and acknowledge that your withdrawal right ends once the service has been fully performed for the period. Nothing in this section limits rights that your local law does not allow to be limited.
• Price changes.We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days’ advance notice by email; the new price applies from your next renewal after the notice period.
• Merchant of record.Curio subscriptions are sold through Stripe’s Managed Payments, with Link (a Stripe company) acting as merchant of record: it processes your payment, appears on your statement, collects and remits applicable taxes, and provides transaction-level support. Your card details are provided to Stripe/Link, not to us, and your purchase is also subject to their consumer terms and privacy policy.

“Your Content” means the material you provide to the Service: your resume, imported professional-profile data, narrative descriptions, preferences and criteria, and feedback. You retain all ownership rights in Your Content.

You grant Ventana Global LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, and analyze Your Content — including transmitting relevant excerpts to the AI model providers and infrastructure vendors identified in our Privacy Policy — solely to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service for you. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from the Service, except for backup copies deleted in the ordinary course and data we must retain by law.

• You represent that Your Content is about you, is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that you have the right to provide it. You may only import your own professional profile — never someone else’s.
• If you direct Curio to import your profile from a third-party platform (such as LinkedIn), you are responsible for ensuring your use complies with that platform’s terms that apply to you.
• If you send us suggestions or feedback about the Service, we may use them without restriction or compensation.

Match scores, rationales, summaries, and derived search criteria are generated by automated systems, including large language models. AI output can be incomplete, outdated, or simply wrong — including salary figures, remote-work status, requirements, and the reasoning shown in “why this matched.” Always verify listing details with the employer or original posting before relying on them. Match results are recommendations to help you prioritize your own search; they are not decisions about you, and no legal or similarly significant effect is produced by them.

You agree not to:

• use the Service unlawfully, or to harass, defraud, or harm anyone;
• scrape, crawl, bulk-export, resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service or the job data, matches, or other content it provides;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code, models, prompts, or non-public data of the Service, except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
• probe, disrupt, or overload the Service, circumvent rate limits or access controls, or access accounts or data that are not yours;
• upload malicious code or content that infringes any third party’s rights;
• impersonate any person, misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or provide another person’s personal data as your own;
• use the Service to build or train a competing product or dataset.

We may investigate violations and may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

The Service — including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the Curio name and marks — is owned by Ventana Global LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own job search while these Terms are in effect. No rights are granted except as expressly set out here. Job listings remain the property of their respective owners.

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe content available through the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice compliant with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to legal@curiojobs.comwith the subject line “DMCA Notice,” including: identification of the copyrighted work; the material claimed to be infringing and its location; your contact information; a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We will respond to valid notices, including removing material where appropriate, and we terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; JOB LISTINGS OR MATCHES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, LAWFUL, OR AVAILABLE; OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICE WILL RESULT IN INTERVIEWS, OFFERS, OR EMPLOYMENT. THIRD-PARTY SITES YOU REACH THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE NOT UNDER OUR CONTROL AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) NEITHER VENTANA GLOBAL LLC NOR ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES (INCLUDING LOST EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES), LOST DATA, OR REPUTATIONAL HARM, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY; AND (B) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US $100). THESE LIMITS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN THAT CASE OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED.

Nothing in this section limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or any liability or statutory damages that cannot be limited or waived under applicable law. References to amounts “paid us” mean amounts paid for the Service, regardless of which entity collected the payment.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ventana Global LLCand its members, managers, and employees from and against third-party claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) to the extent arising out of content you provide in violation of Section 6, your unlawful use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of a third party’s rights.

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

• Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you and we agree to try to resolve any dispute informally: send a written description of the dispute to legal@curiojobs.com, and we will do the same to your account email. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may proceed as set out below. Any applicable statute of limitations is tolled during this informal-resolution period.
• Arbitration.Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this agreement. The parties will agree on the arbitrator (or on a consumer arbitration administrator) within 30 days of a written arbitration demand; if they cannot agree, either party may ask a court to appoint the arbitrator under 9 U.S.C. § 5. The arbitration will use fair, consumer-appropriate procedures: a reasonable exchange of information, a remote hearing or one held where you live (your choice), and a written decision. We will pay the arbitrator’s fees and costs to the extent they exceed the court filing fees you would otherwise have paid, unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, and may award the same relief a court could award to you individually.
• Coordinated filings. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree that the demands will be resolved in staged batches, with a single arbitrator per batch, before any remaining demands proceed.
• Class-action and jury waiver. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. TO THE EXTENT A DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT UNDER THIS SECTION, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WHERE THAT WAIVER IS PERMITTED; AND YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If the class waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim — and only that claim — will proceed in court rather than in arbitration.
• Carve-outs. Either party may elect to bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court instead of arbitration, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property. Nothing in this section waives any right you may have to seek public injunctive relief where that right cannot be waived by law; any such request will be decided by a court after arbitration of all arbitrable claims.
• Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@curiojobs.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms or of first starting a trial or paid subscription, whichever is later, stating your account email and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois.

If you are a consumer in the EEA or UK, nothing in Sections 14 or 15 deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence or of your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time in Settings (which removes your profile, matches, and resume data as described in the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service; if we terminate without cause while you have a paid period remaining, we will refund the prorated unused portion. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination survive it — including the license in Section 6 to the extent already exercised, and Sections 9 and 11 through 17.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Notices to you may be sent to your account email; notices to us go to legal@curiojobs.com. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, or employment relationship.
