At a glance
These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Hourze.
If you use the Platform on behalf of a company, organisation, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and “you” includes that entity.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Where changes are material, we will provide notice by email or a prominent in-app notice. Your continued use of the Platform after the updated Terms take effect means you accept them.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
You must be at least 18 years old to use Hourze.
When you create an account, you agree to provide information that is accurate, current, and complete, and to keep it updated.
You are responsible for:
safeguarding your login credentials
all activity that occurs under your account
notifying us promptly of any unauthorised access or security issue
We may suspend or terminate accounts that are false, misleading, compromised, or used in violation of these Terms.
2. Eligibility and account registration
Hourze is a professional capability and proof platform. It is designed to help users develop, demonstrate, and organise evidence of capability through structured assessments, evaluations, and Proof Profiles.
You may use the Platform only for lawful personal, professional, or internal business purposes.
You must not use the Platform to:
misrepresent your identity, experience, or capability
submit false, misleading, or fraudulent work
use bots, scripts, or automation to manipulate outcomes
reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract proprietary systems, logic, or models
access or use the Platform in a way that interferes with security, stability, or other users
use the Platform or its outputs to train or improve competing systems without our written permission
Your Proof Profile must reflect genuine capability. Deliberate misrepresentation is a material breach of these Terms.
3. Purpose of the Platform and permitted use
Hourze uses AI systems and other evaluation methods to assess submissions against structured criteria and rubrics.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge that:
AI outputs are probabilistic and may not always be accurate, complete, or consistent
evaluations are intended to support learning, development, and capability visibility
evaluations are not certified qualifications, professional licences, or guarantees of employment, promotion, funding, or other outcomes
You should not rely solely on Platform outputs for high-stakes decisions.
Hourze is not a certification body. The Platform is a system for documenting and evaluating capability over time.
To operate the Platform, we may use third-party service providers, including AI and infrastructure providers, subject to our contractual and privacy obligations.
