Terms of Service

Last updated: July 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using PrepVine ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

PrepVine is an interview preparation platform that aggregates community-contributed interview experiences, questions, and insights to help job seekers prepare for interviews at specific companies and roles.

3. User Accounts

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use the Service.

To use certain features of the Service, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information when creating your account
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
  • Take responsibility for all activities that occur under your account

4. Your Content

When you submit interview experiences, questions, or other content ("User Content"):

  • You own your content. Contributors retain ownership of the interview experiences they submit.
  • You give us a license to run the service. By submitting, you grant PrepVine a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and adapt your content in order to operate the service, including generating AI study guidance from it.
  • Anonymous means publicly anonymous. Submitting anonymously hides your identity from other users; the license terms above are the same either way.
  • You stay in control. You may edit your contributions at any time from your Contributions page, and you may request deletion of your content.
  • Deleting your account offers a choice. You can delete your account and every contribution with it, or delete your account and personal information while your contributions remain, made anonymous. The license terms above are unaffected either way.
  • We can remove content. PrepVine may remove content that violates these terms.

You also agree that:

  • Your content is based on your genuine personal experience
  • You will not submit false, misleading, or defamatory information
  • You will not include confidential information subject to NDA or similar agreements
  • You will not include personally identifiable information about others without consent

5. Accuracy Disclaimer

PrepVine does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content on the platform:

  • Interview data is crowdsourced and may be inaccurate or outdated
  • Compensation data is based on user submissions and represents estimates only
  • User-contributed content reflects individual experiences and may not be representative
  • AI-generated study plans are for guidance only and not guarantees of success

6. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Submit false or fabricated interview experiences
  • Use the Service to harass, defame, or harm others
  • Attempt to scrape, copy, or redistribute content from the platform
  • Use automated tools to access or interact with the Service
  • Attempt to circumvent any security measures
  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose

7. Pricing

PrepVine is currently free to use, with no paid tier. If we introduce paid plans in the future, we will announce the change and update these Terms accordingly before any billing begins.

8. Intellectual Property

The PrepVine platform, including its design, features, and original content, is owned by PrepVine and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute our platform or content without express written permission.

9. Copyright and DMCA Takedown Notices

PrepVine respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
  • Identification of the material you claim is infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it on the Service (e.g. a URL)
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf

Send copyright notices to our designated agent: [DMCA AGENT CONTACT TO BE CONFIRMED BY OWNER]

We may remove or disable access to material claimed to be infringing and may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PrepVine shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to loss of employment opportunities or career outcomes.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PrepVine and its officers, directors, employees, and agents 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) content you submit, post, or otherwise make available through the Service; or (c) your violation of these Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the Service are governed by the laws of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

13. Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by [ARBITRATION PROVIDER TO BE CONFIRMED BY OWNER] under its rules then in effect, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. You and PrepVine each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. This clause does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.

14. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms. You may delete your account at any time through the settings page.

15. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes via email or a prominent notice on the platform. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
