TERMS OF USE_

By accessing or using Abhyas (“the Application”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Application.

These Terms apply to all versions of Abhyas, whether self-hosted, accessed via a managed deployment, or run locally from source.

Abhyas is an AI-assisted interview practice tool. It runs entirely in your browser. Your data — resumes, job descriptions, interview transcripts, API keys, and evaluation histories — stays on your device and is never transmitted to Abhyas servers. See the Privacy Architecture page for the complete technical audit.

Abhyas connects to third-party AI providers (Google Gemini, OpenAI, or a local Ollama instance) only on your explicit instruction using credentials you supply. Abhyas has no affiliation with and is not endorsed by any of these providers.

You may use Abhyas to:

• Practice and prepare for job interviews in a private, offline-capable environment.
• Experiment with AI-assisted feedback on your own answers and profile.
• Modify, fork, and self-host the application under the MIT License.

You may not use Abhyas to:

• Cheat in live employer interviews. Abhyas is a practice tool. Using it to generate real-time answers during an actual interview is deceptive and prohibited. Any such use is entirely your responsibility.
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security features, rate limits, or content policies of the third-party AI providers you connect.
• Resell access to Abhyas under a different brand without complying with the MIT License and the separate Trademark Policy (see section 7).
• Use the Application in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations in your jurisdiction.

THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Abhyas does not guarantee that the AI feedback you receive is accurate, complete, unbiased, or suitable for any particular employer or role. AI-generated evaluations are practice aids — they are not professional career advice.

Abhyas does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, nor compatibility with every browser, device, or AI provider configuration.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEVELOPER (SAMYAK JAIN) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY, OR ANY HARM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE APPLICATION.

Because Abhyas processes all data locally on your device, the developer has no access to and therefore no liability for any data you store, any API keys you configure, or any prompts you send to third-party AI providers.

Your total recourse against the developer for any claim arising from these Terms is limited to the amount you paid to use the Application — which, for the open-source version, is zero.

When you configure an API key and select a provider (Google Gemini, OpenAI, or a local runner), your data is transmitted directly from your browser to that provider under their terms of service and privacy policy, not Abhyas's. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with those terms.

Abhyas does not store, log, or inspect the contents of any prompt or completion exchanged with a third-party provider.

The Abhyas source code is released under the MIT License. You may use, copy, modify, and distribute it freely subject to that license's conditions.

The name “Abhyas” and the pixel monitor-head mascot are trademarks of Samyak Jain. Forks and derivative works must use a different name and must not reproduce the mascot artwork without written permission. See TRADEMARK.md in the repository for the full policy.

These Terms may be updated from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect the latest revision. Continued use of the Application after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Material changes will be noted in the Roadmap & Changelog.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in India.
