The system serves solely as an assistive tool to support human recruiters and hiring managers.
Our platform is designed to provide transparent, explainable recommendations while adhering to fair hiring practices and anti-discrimination principles. Users maintain full control and responsibility over their hiring decisions, with our system serving purely in an advisory capacity.

For your security and protection, we do not retain or store any credit card information within our systems; all payment data is exclusively and securely handled by Stripe. We currently accept payments via major credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay payment methods.
With respect to subscription plans, users are hereby granted the option to purchase either a quarterly or yearly subscription for access to the HiringForge.app platform and its associated services. Each subscription tier provides a predetermined allocation of credits applicable to all HiringForge.app features, with specific allocations delineated on our pricing page.

Any such modifications to subscription plans shall become effective at the commencement of the subsequent billing cycle.
Regarding payment processing and account activation procedures, subscription fees are processed instantaneously through Stripe concurrent with the purchase transaction. Upon successful verification and confirmation of payment, your account shall be automatically activated. In the event of payment failure, you will receive immediate notification thereof. To maintain uninterrupted access to our services, it may be necessary to update your payment information as circumstances require. Please be advised that multiple unsuccessful payment attempts may result in temporary account suspension. For record-keeping purposes, all invoices are automatically generated through the Stripe platform and transmitted to your registered email address.
Regarding automatic renewal of subscriptions, all subscriptions are configured to automatically renew at the conclusion of each billing period to ensure uninterrupted service. As a courtesy, subscribers will receive a renewal notification via email seven (7) days prior to the commencement of the next billing cycle.
