Terms of Service

By accessing or using roles.cc, our applications, and any related services (together, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to both you and that entity.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service. Your continued use after we post an updated version constitutes acceptance of the changes (see Section 23).

• “Statlyne,” “we,” “us,” “our” means Statlyne LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, 131 Continental Drive, Newark, Delaware 19713, USA.
• “Candidate” means an individual who uses the Service to discover roles, join the talent pool, or be represented for opportunities.
• “Client” means a founder, employer, or hiring organization that engages Statlyne to source and introduce candidates.
• “Engagement Agreement” means the separate written agreement between Statlyne and a Client that sets out fees, the ownership window, the replacement guarantee, and other commercial terms.
• “Introduction”means the disclosure of a Candidate’s identity to a Client, recorded at the moment it occurs in an immutable introduction record.
• “User Content” means anything you submit through the Service, including your CV/résumé, profile details, preferences, and messages.
• “Listings” means job postings displayed on the Service that are aggregated from third-party applicant-tracking systems and public career pages.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract to use the Service. The Service is intended for users in the United States; we make no claim that it is appropriate or available elsewhere, and you are responsible for compliance with local law if you access it from outside the US.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, or if we have previously suspended or removed you.

roles.cc is operated by Statlyne as a recruiting business. The Service:

• publishes a live, filterable board of software-engineering roles at venture-backed startups, aggregated from third-party applicant-tracking systems and surfaced with a focus on companies from seed through Series C;
• lets Candidates join a talent pool by submitting a CV and preferences so we can represent them for relevant openings;
• provides AI-assisted tools that read and analyze CVs and job descriptions to produce structured signals (such as a summary, skills, seniority, and a fit estimate); and
• enables Statlyne, as a recruiting agency, to source, calibrate, and introduce Candidates to Clients under an Engagement Agreement.

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including Listings, features, and limits. We are a recruiting intermediary; we are not an employer, staffing agency of record, or party to any employment relationship between a Candidate and a Client (see Section 16).

Some features require an account, which we authenticate by emailing a one-time code or sign-in link. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your inbox and any code or link sent to it, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at legal@roles.cc if you suspect unauthorized use.

You agree that the information you provide is accurate and current, and that you will keep it up to date. You may not share an account, transfer it, or let another person use it.

The Service is free for Candidates. We do not charge engineers to browse roles, join the pool, or be represented, and we never ask a Candidate to pay a fee tied to a placement.

When you submit a CV or other User Content, you confirm that it describes you, that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that you have the right to share it with us. You authorize us to store and analyze it to operate the Service and to represent you as a recruiting agency consistent with these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Identity protection

We treat your identity as confidential. We will not disclose your name, contact details, or full CV to a prospective employer unless and until (a) that employer has signed an Engagement Agreement with Statlyne and (b) you have approved that specific Introduction. This protection is enforced at our data layer, not merely as policy. Before an approved Introduction, we may share de-identified signals (such as a summary, seniority, and derived skills) so a Client can assess fit.

Withdrawal

You may withdraw from the pool, delete your CV, and close your account at any time from your account page or by emailing legal@roles.cc. Withdrawal does not unwind Introductions already made or affect immutable introduction records retained for fee accounting and dispute resolution.

A Client that engages Statlyne to source candidates does so under an Engagement Agreement, which controls all commercial terms, including any placement fee, intake fee, featured-listing fee, the ownership window, and the replacement guarantee. If these Terms and an Engagement Agreement conflict on a commercial matter, the Engagement Agreement governs.

A Client receives a Candidate’s identifying information only after its Engagement Agreement is signed and the Candidate approves the Introduction, at which point an immutable introduction record is written.

Non-circumvention

Clients agree not to circumvent the Service to avoid fees. Hiring, engaging, or referring for engagement a Candidate first introduced through the Service, whether directly, through an affiliate, or through a third party, within the ownership window set out in the Engagement Agreement obligates the Client to pay the agreed fee. Clients also agree not to forward, republish, or disclose Candidate information to any third party without Statlyne’s written consent.

Listings are aggregated from third-party applicant-tracking systems (such as Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby) and companies’ public career pages. They are provided for convenience and discovery.

• We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the companies whose Listings appear, unless expressly stated.
• We do not warrant that any Listing is accurate, current, complete, still open, or lawful, and roles may be filled or withdrawn without notice. Compensation figures, where shown, are estimates or are reproduced from the source and may be wrong.
• Any application you make to a company, and any relationship that results, is solely between you and that company. We are not a party to it and are not responsible for an employer’s conduct, hiring decisions, or job terms.

If you are a company and want a Listing changed or removed, email legal@roles.cc and we will act on reasonable requests promptly.

The Service uses third-party large language models to read and analyze CVs and job descriptions and to generate structured outputs such as a summary, skills, seniority, strengths, gaps, and a fit estimate. These outputs:

• are informational estimates only and may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong;
• are not professional, employment, legal, financial, or career advice, and are not a guarantee of any match, introduction, interview, or hire; and
• do not, by themselves, make hiring decisions. A human reviews and decides which Candidates are represented or introduced.

You should independently verify anything important before relying on it. How AI providers process your data is described in our Privacy Policy.

You agree not to:

• scrape, crawl, harvest, or systematically download the Service or its data other than through interfaces we publicly document and authorize;
• copy, resell, or build a competing dataset or service from Listings or other content obtained through the Service;
• impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or eligibility;
• submit content that is unlawful, false, infringing, defamatory, discriminatory, harassing, or harmful, or that you lack the right to submit;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system, or breach, disable, or circumvent any security, authentication, or rate-limit measure;
• introduce malware, interfere with the Service’s operation, or place an unreasonable load on our infrastructure; or
• use the Service or its contacts to send spam or unsolicited communications, or for any unlawful, deceptive, or discriminatory purpose.

You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant Statlyne a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, analyze, and display your User Content, and to create de-identified and derived data from it, in order to operate, secure, and improve the Service and to represent you as a recruiting agency consistent with these Terms and our Privacy Policy. You grant Clients the right to receive and use your identifying information only after an approved Introduction.

This license ends when you delete the relevant User Content or close your account, except that (a) we may retain residual copies in backups for a limited period and as required by law, and (b) de-identified or aggregated data, and immutable introduction records, may be retained as described in our Privacy Policy. You represent that your User Content and our use of it as permitted here will not violate any law or third-party right.

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use it for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you. We are not required to keep feedback confidential.

The Service (including its software, design, text, graphics, the diamond and “roles” marks, and all related intellectual property, but excluding User Content and third-party content) is owned by Statlyne or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from any part of the Service except as expressly permitted. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The Service relies on, links to, and interoperates with third-party services (including the applicant-tracking systems behind Listings and the providers listed in our Privacy Policy). We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, or practices. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that party’s own terms and privacy policy.

Browsing the public board and joining the talent pool are free. Paid offerings are made available to Clients (for example, intake fees, placement fees, and featured listings) on the terms presented at the point of purchase and in the applicable Engagement Agreement.

• Fees are stated and charged in US dollars and, unless stated otherwise, are exclusive of taxes, which you are responsible for.
• We use a third-party payment processor to handle payments; by paying, you also agree to that processor’s terms. We do not store full card numbers.
• Except where required by law or expressly stated in writing (for example, an intake fee that is refundable if we do not deliver, or that credits against a placement fee), fees are non-refundable.
• We may change prices prospectively; changes do not affect fees already incurred.

The Service, including AI outputs and our calibration, is provided for general informational purposes and is not legal, employment, immigration, tax, financial, or career advice. You are responsible for your own decisions.

Statlyne is a recruiting intermediary. We are not the employer of any Candidate, we do not make a Client’s hiring decisions, and we do not guarantee employment, the accuracy of any party’s representations, or the conduct of any Candidate or Client. Employment terms, offers, and outcomes are determined solely between Candidate and Client. We do not discriminate, and we expect Clients to comply with all applicable equal-opportunity and anti-discrimination laws.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STATLYNE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that Listings or AI outputs are accurate or current; or that any match, introduction, interview, hire, or other outcome will result. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STATLYNE AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

STATLYNE’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) US$100 OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID STATLYNE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Statlyne and its members, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms or applicable law, or your violation of any third-party right. We may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with us.

These Terms apply while you use the Service. You may stop using it and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law, or to protect the Service, other users, or Statlyne.

On termination, your license to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive, including Sections 11-13 and 16-23, survive termination.

This section requires most disputes to be resolved by binding individual arbitration and waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. Please read it carefully.

Informal resolution first

Before starting an arbitration, you agree to email legal@roles.cc with a description of the dispute and the relief you seek, and to give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally and in good faith.

Binding arbitration

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be settled by binding arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer rules, rather than in court, except as stated below. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitrator decides all issues, except a court decides the enforceability of the class-action waiver below.

Class-action & jury-trial waiver

Disputes will be conducted only on an individual basis. You and Statlyne waive any right to a jury trial and to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim, and only that claim, will proceed in court.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

30-day opt-out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@roles.cc with your name and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, by the Federal Arbitration Act. To the extent a dispute is not subject to arbitration, it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version here with a new effective date and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to notify you. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them.

Electronic communications

You consent to receive communications from us electronically (including notices, agreements, and disclosures) and agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our consent. We may assign them, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms bind permitted successors and assigns.

Force majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, outages, network or provider failures, labor disputes, or government action.

Severability, waiver & entire agreement

If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or severed so the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Engagement Agreement, are the entire agreement between you and Statlyne about the Service and supersede prior understandings on that subject.
