Terms & Conditions

Version 2026-05-09

These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the NextRound platform, websites, mobile apps, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Service”) provided by NextRound (“NextRound,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By checking the consent box during onboarding and clicking “Finish Setup,” or by otherwise accessing the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility & Account

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during onboarding and to keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

2. Audio & Video Capture — Express Consent

The Service simulates interview environments and requires the recording, processing, and storage of your microphone audio, webcam video, screen captures, keystrokes (where applicable), and behavioral signals (collectively, “Session Recordings”) during practice sessions, mock interviews, and NextVue-style modules.

By accepting these Terms, you give your express, informed, and revocable consent to:

  • Capture of your voice, likeness, facial expressions, eye movements, posture, and spoken content via your device's camera and microphone for the duration of each session;
  • Real-time and post-session transmission of Session Recordings to our servers and trusted third-party processors (including cloud infrastructure, speech-to-text providers, large language model providers, and computer-vision providers);
  • Storage of Session Recordings and derived data (transcripts, embeddings, scores, metadata) for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter for audit, dispute resolution, model quality assurance, and legal compliance, unless you request deletion as described below;
  • Use of Session Recordings and derived data to generate feedback, scores, transcripts, summaries, and other product outputs delivered back to you.

You represent and warrant that you are the sole subject in each Session Recording, that you have authority to grant these rights, and that no third party (including other interviewees, colleagues, family members, or bystanders) is captured without their own consent. You are solely responsible for ensuring your recording environment complies with all applicable wiretap, two-party consent, and recording laws in your jurisdiction.

3. AI Processing & Subjective Grading

The Service uses automated systems, machine-learning models, and large language models (some operated by third parties such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and similar providers) to evaluate your performance, generate scores, transcripts, feedback, and recommendations.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • All scores, ratings, rankings, percentile bands, strengths/weaknesses analyses, and qualitative feedback are inherently subjective, probabilistic, and may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or inconsistent across sessions and over time.
  • Outputs do not represent professional advice, expert opinion, psychological assessment, employment screening, or any regulated evaluation, and should not be relied on as such.
  • Models can “hallucinate,” misinterpret responses, misattribute statements, or produce content that is offensive or incorrect. We do not guarantee the accuracy, fairness, fitness, or completeness of any AI-generated output.
  • Scoring methodology, rubrics, weights, and underlying models may change at any time without notice, and historical scores are not directly comparable across versions.
  • You will not represent NextRound's scores as an objective measurement of your skill, competence, or employability to any third party (including employers, schools, or licensing bodies).

4. No Guarantee of Outcomes

The Service is a practice tool. NextRound makes no representations or warranties that use of the Service will result in any specific outcome, including but not limited to receiving a job offer, passing an interview, advancing in a hiring process, securing an internship, improving your interview skills, or achieving any particular score on a third-party assessment. Any testimonials, case studies, or success metrics shown on the Service are illustrative and not a guarantee of your results.

5. Use of Data; De-Identified & Aggregated Data

We process personal data, Session Recordings, and derived artifacts in accordance with our Privacy Policy. In addition to providing the Service, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to:

  • Use Session Recordings and derived data to operate, secure, debug, monitor, and improve the Service, including fine-tuning, evaluating, and benchmarking AI models;
  • Create de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized datasets and statistics, which we may retain and use indefinitely for any lawful business purpose, including research, product development, marketing analytics, and disclosure to third parties;
  • Share Session Recordings with subprocessors and infrastructure providers strictly as needed to deliver the Service.

You may request deletion of your personal data and Session Recordings at any time by contacting us; deletion requests will be honored within a commercially reasonable timeframe, subject to legal retention obligations and except for de-identified or aggregated data already produced.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: (a) use the Service to harass, defame, or harm any person; (b) upload unlawful, infringing, or harmful content; (c) attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract underlying models, prompts, or training data; (d) use the Service to develop a competing product; (e) circumvent rate limits, paywalls, or access controls; (f) impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation; or (g) use the Service in any way that violates applicable law, including export controls and recording-consent laws.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including software, prompts, rubrics, models, UI, content, and trademarks, is owned by NextRound or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. You retain ownership of your Session Recordings and any text you submit, but you grant NextRound the licenses described in Section 5. Feedback and suggestions you provide may be used by NextRound without obligation to you.

8. Subscriptions, Billing & Refunds

Paid features are billed in advance on a recurring basis through our payment processor. Unless required by applicable law or stated otherwise at point of sale, all fees are non-refundable. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We may change prices on prospective renewals with reasonable notice.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. NEXTROUND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR DECISIONS MADE BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEXTROUND AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST DATA, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NEXTROUND'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID NEXTROUND IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (B) USD $100.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NextRound and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your Session Recordings or other content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right (including any other person whose voice or likeness is captured in a Session Recording).

12. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, seated in New York, NY. You waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in any class action or class-wide arbitration. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing us within 30 days of accepting these Terms.

13. Changes; Termination

We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated by reasonable means (such as in-app notice or email). Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12) will survive.
