Terms of Service

1. Who We Are

Your Cyber Buddy ("we", "us", "our") operates the website yourcyberbuddy.co.uk and the free AI-powered cybersecurity career assessment quiz available on it.

If you have any questions about these terms, you can reach us at info@yourcyberbuddy.co.uk.

2. What Our Service Is, And What It Isn't

Your Cyber Buddy provides a free, AI-powered quiz designed to help you explore which cybersecurity career paths may suit your thinking style, background, interests, and working preferences.

It is important that you understand what this service is:

• ✓ An intelligent assessment tool that surfaces career directions worth exploring
• ✓ A personalised starting point based on your quiz responses
• ✓ A free resource to help you make more informed career decisions

It is not:

• ✗ A professional career counselling or careers advisory service
• ✗ A guarantee of employment, career success, or suitability for any role
• ✗ A formal or accredited assessment of your qualifications, skills, or abilities
• ✗ A replacement for your own research, professional advice, or informed judgment

Your results are a compass — not a contract. We strongly encourage you to research your matched career paths thoroughly, speak to people working in those roles, and seek professional career advice before making any significant career decisions.

The quiz is an assessment tool, not a professional career counselling service. Results are indicative, not definitive.

3. The Service Is Free

The career assessment quiz is provided entirely free of charge. No account, subscription, or payment is required to use it.

We may introduce optional paid features or services in the future. If we do, these will be clearly communicated, separately priced, and will require your explicit consent before any charge is applied. Your access to the free quiz will not be affected by the introduction of any paid features.

4. AI-Generated Results

Your quiz results are generated using artificial intelligence — specifically, Claude, developed by Anthropic. By using our service, you acknowledge and accept that:

• AI-generated recommendations are based solely on your responses to the quiz and are produced algorithmically, not by a human advisor
• AI recommendations may not be complete, accurate, or appropriate for every individual
• The quality of your results depends in part on the accuracy and honesty of your responses
• We do not guarantee that AI-generated content will be free from errors or omissions
• Results should be treated as a starting point for further exploration, not a definitive career verdict

We do not accept liability for decisions made solely on the basis of AI-generated quiz results.

5. No Sensitive Data Required

You do not need to create an account, provide your name, or share any sensitive personal information to use the quiz. The quiz asks only about your preferences, working style, and interests — not your identity.

If you voluntarily provide your email address to receive your results, this is governed by our Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable Use

By using our service, you agree that you will not:

• Use the service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of our website, servers, or systems
• Use automated tools, bots, scrapers, or scripts to access or extract content from the service without our prior written permission
• Deliberately interfere with, disrupt, or degrade the performance or availability of the website
• Submit false, misleading, or fabricated responses with the intent to manipulate or test the system in bad faith
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, or replicate our quiz algorithm, matching logic, or proprietary content
• Use the service in any way that could damage our reputation or the experience of other users

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the service for anyone who breaches these conditions.

8. Third-Party Links and Resources

Our website and quiz results may contain links to third-party websites, learning platforms, certification providers, or other external resources. These links are provided for your convenience and information only.

We do not endorse, control, monitor, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party website. Visiting a third-party website from a link on our site is done entirely at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms and privacy policy.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

Our service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:

• Warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
• Warranties that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure

We do not warrant that the website will be available at all times or that any errors will be corrected.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of England and Wales:

Your Cyber Buddy shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — our service, including but not limited to:

• Career decisions made in reliance on quiz results
• Loss of earnings, opportunity, or professional prospects
• Data loss or technical errors
• Any action taken or not taken based on our AI-generated recommendations

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Your Cyber Buddy, its founders, employees, and any affiliates from any claims, losses, damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the service.

12. Privacy

Your use of our service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under UK GDPR. By using our service, you confirm that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the service following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you should stop using the service.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes where possible.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms — including any question regarding their existence, validity, or termination — shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer based in another jurisdiction, you may also have rights under the laws of that jurisdiction that cannot be overridden by this clause.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed from these Terms if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Your Cyber Buddy regarding your use of the service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.
