Terms of Service
Effective date: pending launch · Last updated: July 29, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Induo IQ (the “Platform,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by S.G. Consultants, LLC. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Platform, including any associated websites, services, and applications.
By creating an account, submitting content, or otherwise using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email (where provided) or by prominent notice on the Platform.
2. Eligibility
To use the Platform, you must:
- Be at least eighteen (18) years old.
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
- Not be barred from using the Platform under applicable law.
We may refuse service, terminate accounts, or remove content at any time, including for violations of these Terms.
3. The Platform and Its Purpose
Induo IQ is a platform where individuals who have interviewed at companies may anonymously share descriptions of their interview experiences and rate the quality of the interview process. The Platform aggregates these submissions into company-level scores derived from a published methodology.
The Platform’s core principle: we rate the interview process, not the outcome. The Platform’s scoring is decoupled from whether the submitter received a job offer.
Submissions reflect individual personal experiences and personal opinions, not statements of fact. The Platform is not intended as legal, employment, or career advice.
4. User Accounts and Verification
To submit content to the Platform, you must verify your identity through:
- A valid email address you control;
- A LinkedIn account (via OAuth/OIDC) that establishes you as a real professional.
Your verified identity is stored privately and never displayed publicly. All submissions are published anonymously. Verification exists solely to reduce fake and retaliatory submissions and to maintain data quality.
5. User Content
5.1 Submission certification
By submitting content to the Platform, you affirmatively certify that:
- The submission describes your own personal interview experience, not the experience of someone else.
- The information in your submission is true to the best of your knowledge.
- You have not named any individual interviewer, hiring manager, recruiter, or other person. You have described people only by role, title, level, or function.
- You have not disclosed confidential or NDA-protected information, including specific interview questions where you were told they were confidential.
- You understand the Platform may remove or modify your submission at its discretion if it violates these Terms.
- You agree to indemnify the Platform against any third-party claim arising from your submission.
5.2 License to the Platform
By submitting content, you grant Induo IQ a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, perform, and display your submission in connection with operating the Platform, including in computed summaries and analyses.
5.3 Editing and removal
- 48-hour edit window. You may edit your submission within 48 hours of original submission via a secure link sent to your verified email.
- After 48 hours. Submissions are eligible for correction requests reviewed by the Platform. Email team@induoiq.com.
- Platform removal rights. We may remove any submission at any time for violations of these Terms or in our discretion. Where editing rather than removal is sufficient, we work with the original submitter to revise the submission. We do not make unilateral edits to user-authored content.
5.4 Prohibited content
You agree not to submit content that:
- Names or identifies any specific individual beyond role/title/level/function;
- Contains false statements of fact you know or should know are false;
- Violates an NDA, employment agreement, or other confidentiality obligation;
- Infringes the intellectual property rights of any party;
- Constitutes harassment, threats, or hate speech;
- Promotes illegal activity;
- Contains spam, malware, or unrelated commercial promotion;
- Impersonates another person.
6. Platform Content and Intellectual Property
All elements of the Platform other than user submissions — including the brand, name, logo, scoring methodology, software, design, layouts, computed summaries, and all other Platform-created content — are owned by Induo IQ or its licensors. “Induo IQ,” “InduoIQ,” the Induo IQ wordmark and icon, and the tagline “Never interview blind again.” are trademarks of Induo IQ.
7. AI Assistance (matching only — no generated content)
7.1 Submission-side AI (matching; you choose)
As you write in the private notes canvas, the Platform uses AI for one purpose: to match what you wrote against our fixed library of pre-written, neutral summary points and surface the closest matches. The AI does not write, rephrase, or generate any new text — it only surfaces entries that already exist, word-for-word, in our vetted library. These are suggestions only; nothing publishes unless you affirmatively select it. AI also flags potential names or accusatory language; those flags are advisory. We do not store or publish your private notes.
7.2 Reader-side summaries (computed from submissions)
On company pages, the Platform displays short summaries computed from the aggregated submissions — a fixed template that surfaces statistics and the most common themes (for example, what candidates most often reported). They are clearly labeled as summaries. Company pages appear only once a company has a minimum number of distinct verified submitters, and certain factual observations require corroboration from more than one submitter before they are displayed.
8. Content Concerns and Review Requests
Induo IQ structures candidate-authored experiences into a publicly readable record. We do not act on company preference alone, and we do not remove submissions simply because they are unflattering. We will, however, review specific concerns about content that may cross into one of the following narrow categories: false statements of verifiable fact, named identification of individuals (in violation of our community guidelines), confidential or NDA-protected content, or material harassment.
Who may submit a concern. Companies named in a submission, individuals who believe they have been identified, and members of the public may submit concerns. We treat all submitters of concerns equally.
How. Send a written request to team@induoiq.com identifying the specific submission, the specific content at issue, and the specific category of concern. Vague objections to the existence of a submission, or general disagreement with a candidate’s account, are not actionable.
Our standard. Our default position is that submissions reflect personal opinion and lived experience, both of which are protected expression. We will only consider removal where the content clearly falls outside that protection. Where ambiguity exists, our preference is to add opinion-framing context to the submission rather than to remove it. Where editing is sufficient, we will request edits from the submitter rather than remove the submission entirely.
Process. We will acknowledge receipt of every request within 72 hours and issue a full response within 15 business days, except where legal complexity requires more time. We may, in our sole discretion: (a) add opinion-framing context; (b) request edits from the original submitter; (c) remove the submission; (d) decline the request; or (e) escalate to legal counsel.
Submitter rights. The original submitter is notified of any request affecting their submission and is given the opportunity to respond before we make a decision. If we modify or remove a submission, the submitter receives a written explanation and may request a review of our decision.
Bad-faith and repeat requests. We may decline, without further review, requests we determine to be frivolous, retaliatory, or part of a coordinated attempt to suppress legitimate candidate accounts. Repeat bad-faith filers may be blocked from submitting future requests.
This procedure does not adjudicate factual disputes between companies and submitters. For copyright-infringement claims, see our DMCA procedure in Section 9.
9. DMCA / Copyright Infringement
We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may send a notice to our designated agent:

Counter-notification.If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).
Repeat infringers. We will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Induo IQ, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Platform, your submissions, or your violation of these Terms.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY ABOUT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY OF USER SUBMISSIONS OR PLATFORM-GENERATED SUMMARIES. SUBMISSIONS REFLECT INDIVIDUAL PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND PERSONAL OPINIONS, NOT STATEMENTS OF FACT.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INDUO IQ SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
13.1 Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
13.2 Informal resolution first
Before any formal proceeding, the parties will attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting team@induoiq.com and allowing thirty (30) days.
13.3 Binding arbitration
If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its applicable consumer rules then in effect, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
13.4 Fees
S.G. Consultants, LLC will pay the arbitration filing and arbitrator fees consistent with JAMS’s consumer rules, except for claims the arbitrator determines to be frivolous.
13.5 Class-action and class-arbitration waiver
All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court and the remainder in arbitration.
13.6 Exceptions
Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.
13.7 Right to opt out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by emailing team@induoiq.com with your name and account email. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.
14. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice. You may terminate your account at any time by emailing team@induoiq.com.
15. General Provisions
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Induo IQ. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
