Terms of Service
These are the terms between you and Owtomate ("we", "us") for using owtomate.com. Signing in means you accept them. They are written to be read, not skimmed: the parts that matter most are that applications go out in your name, that job boards set their own rules about automation, and that passes are single purchases that last 30 days.
1. What Owtomate does
Owtomate is a job-application assistant for people looking for work in Australia. Using the résumé, details and preferences you give it, it searches SEEK and Indeed, judges which listings fit you, writes a cover letter for each, answers screening questions from your details, and submits the application through your own account on the job board or through the employer's own site. It keeps a record of everything it sends. When it cannot answer something truthfully from what you have given it, it stops and asks you.
2. Who can use it
You must be 18 or older, have the right to work in the roles you apply for, and sign in with a Google account that is yours. One person, one account.
3. Applications are yours
Every application Owtomate sends carries your name and goes to an employer as if you had sent it. By starting a run, or leaving automatic runs on, you authorise us to submit applications on your behalf within the limits you set. You are responsible for what is in them. That means:
- What you tell us about yourself must be true. Owtomate will not invent qualifications, stretch your experience or guess your work rights, but it can only be as accurate as what you give it.
- Review what is sent. The application record shows every cover letter and answer. AI-written text can be wrong or awkward; if it is, tell us and correct your details so the next one is better.
- An application, once sent, is with the employer. We cannot withdraw it.
4. Your job-board accounts
You sign in to SEEK, Indeed and any mailbox yourself, in a private browser window on our server. We never ask for or store those passwords. Those services have their own terms, and some restrict automated use of an account. You accept that a job board may limit or suspend your account for activity it considers automated, and that this is a risk you take by using Owtomate. Owtomate paces its activity and applies only to roles that match you to reduce that risk, but cannot remove it.
5. Plans and payment
- Free. Every account gets five successful applications, once. They do not renew.
- Job Search Pass, A$19.99. 150 successful applications, valid 30 days from purchase.
- Intensive Pass, A$39.99. 320 successful applications, valid 30 days from purchase, with the controls the pricing page lists.
- Application Top-up, A$4.99. 50 more successful applications for an account holding an active pass, valid 30 days from purchase.
A pass is one payment. Nothing renews and nothing is charged again unless you buy again. Only applications that are actually submitted count against a pass; skipped listings, forms that failed and applications that stopped to ask you do not. Applications left on a pass when it expires lapse. Prices are in Australian dollars and include GST where it applies. Payment is taken by Stripe; we never see your card.
6. Refunds
Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Beyond those rights: if you buy a pass and no application has been sent on it, you can have it refunded in full by writing to us within seven days of purchase. Once applications have been sent on a pass, the pass has been used, and we do not refund it in part.
7. Fair use
Do not use Owtomate to apply for roles you have no genuine intention of taking, to apply under someone else's name, to send abusive or misleading content to employers, or to probe or overload the service. We may pause automatic runs, suspend or delete an account that does, and we will tell you why.
8. What we do not promise
Owtomate gets applications sent. It does not promise interviews, offers or a job. It depends on SEEK, Indeed, employer sites, AI model providers and email services we do not control, and it can be slowed or stopped when they change. We do our best to keep it running and to keep a record of everything it did, and we will tell you in the app when a run could not start.
9. Liability
To the extent the law allows, our liability to you for anything arising from Owtomate is limited to the amount you paid us in the 30 days before the event. We are not liable for loss of an opportunity, a job-board account, or income. Where the Australian Consumer Law gives you a guarantee we cannot exclude, our liability for a failure of that guarantee is limited, where the law permits, to supplying the service again or paying for it to be supplied again.
10. Ending things
You can stop at any time by signing out and asking us to delete your account (see the Privacy Policy). We can suspend or end an account for a breach of these terms. Sections 3, 9 and 11 continue to apply afterwards.
11. Law
These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia, and disputes go to its courts.
12. Changes
If we change these terms in a way that affects you, we will show the change in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top is the date of the current version.
