Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: September 23, 2025

Welcome to YourBestChance.io!

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website yourbestchance.io (the “Platform”), operated by YourBestChance.io, a sole proprietorship based in Germany with its principal place of business in Berlin, Germany (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By registering for an account, accessing, or using the Platform, including any services, features, content, or applications offered therein (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

These Terms form a legally binding contract between you and us. Please read them carefully, along with our Privacy Policy (available at [yourbestchance.io/privacy-policy]), which is incorporated herein by reference and explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Platform and updating the “Effective Date” above. Your continued use of the Services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

1. Eligibility and Account Registration

1.1 Eligibility: To use the Services, you must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and capable of forming a legally binding contract. If you are under 18, you may not use the Services without the supervision and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who must agree to these Terms on your behalf. You must not be barred from using the Services under applicable laws.

1.2 Account Creation: To access certain features, such as generating career reports or using the AI career companion chatbot, you must create an account by providing accurate, complete, and up-to-date information, including your email address. You may also link your LinkedIn profile for automated data import, subject to LinkedIn’s terms and your consent. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately at support@yourbestchance.io if you suspect unauthorized access.

1.3 Account Types: Upon registration and email validation, you are automatically assigned to the free “Future Scout” membership, which provides access to one career report. Upgrading to paid plans (“Boost Day” or “Boost Week”) unlocks additional features, such as unlimited chatbot access, extra reports, sectoral analyses, and newsletters.

1.4 Prohibited Use: You agree not to create multiple accounts, use false information, or impersonate others. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account for violations of these Terms, without refund or liability.

2. Description of Services

2.1 Core Services: The Platform uses AI to analyze your provided data (e.g., work history, education, skills, financial status) and generate personalized career scenarios, recommendations for online courses and certifications (from partners like Udemy and Coursera via affiliate links), and actionable advice. Services include:

  • Free access: One career report via form or LinkedIn import.
  • Premium access: AI career companion chatbot, additional reports, industrial/sectoral analyses, weekly newsletters, and personal prompt interface.
  • NPS Survey and Donations: After viewing a report, you may complete a Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey. Scores above 7 may prompt an optional donation prompt.
  • Sharing: Reports can be shared via secure, read-only links.

2.2 AI-Generated Content: All scenarios, recommendations, and advice are generated by AI based on your input and our databases. These are for informational purposes only and are not professional, financial, or legal advice. AI outputs may contain inaccuracies, biases, or uncertainties due to the nature of AI and evolving job markets. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any AI-generated content. You are responsible for verifying and acting on such content at your own risk.

2.3 Affiliate Links and Courses: Recommendations may include affiliate links to third-party courses. If you enroll via these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We are not responsible for third-party content, platforms, or transactions.
