Yachtee Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: 1st March 2025
Jurisdiction: Republic of Estonia

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Yachtee website, platform, and services (the “Services”), including communications, applications, and other features. By using Yachtee, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
If you use Yachtee on behalf of a company or organization, you confirm you’re authorized to do so, and “you” includes that entity.

1. Eligibility

  • You must be at least 18 years old to use Yachtee.
  • You may not use Yachtee if your account has been suspended or banned.
  • Unless expressly authorized, Yachtee is for personal, non-commercial use.

2.1 Account Creation

To use most features, you’ll need to create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide truthful, up-to-date information
  • Keep your login credentials secure
  • Inform us immediately of unauthorized access

You are responsible for activity under your account. Yachtee is not liable for unauthorized use caused by your actions.

2.2 AI-Assisted Profile Setup

We may use AI to extract and structure data from your uploaded CV. You are solely responsible for reviewing and correcting all information displayed on your profile.

You can control the visibility of your profile using one of the following settings:

  • Public: Fully viewable by employers and may be indexed by search engines
  • Private: Only limited information is shown to others

Note: If you apply directly for a job through Yachtee, your complete profile—including restricted sections—will automatically be made visible to the employer who posted the job, regardless of your selected visibility settings.

You are responsible for managing your privacy settings and any passwords used for restricted content.

3. Communications

By creating an account, you agree to receive service-related emails and notifications. You may manage non-essential notifications via your settings. Some communications are essential (e.g., updates to these Terms) and cannot be opted out of unless you delete your account.
