Terms of use
The deal, in plain English.
Updated 15 September 2026
Terms pages are usually written so you won't read them. Ours is written so you will. Nothing in the fine print contradicts what the site says in big print. That's the test every clause here had to pass.
1. What Jobtracker is
Jobtracker is a personal tool for organising your job search: applications, contacts, interviews, dates and money, with calculators and AI-assisted drafting on top. It's built by the maker of Calculate.co.nz and run from New Zealand. It is your workspace; we're the caretakers, not the owners, of what you put in it.
2. The plans and the honour system
- Between Jobs is free while you're genuinely between jobs. It's an honour system: we don't ask for proof, and we ask you not to abuse that. If you're employed and using Jobtracker to move, the fair thing is the paid plan; that's what keeps the free tier free for people who need it.
- On the Move is $7.99 a month billed annually ($95.88 a year), or $9.99 month to month, with a 7-day free trial. The trial takes a card when it starts and first charges it when the seven days end, and we email you two days before that charge. There is one free trial per person. Prices are in NZ dollars and include GST.
- Document storage. Between Jobs keeps one CV file, up to 10MB. On the Move keeps up to 100MB of PDF and Word documents, 10MB a file, with earlier versions and attachments to jobs. If a paid plan ends, nothing is deleted: you can still open, download and delete every file, but not add more until you subscribe again. Files are kept on one server in New Zealand, so keep your own copy of anything you could not replace.
- When you mark a job accepted, Jobtracker switches to career mode and keeps your whole history for the next move. Your subscription carries on until you cancel it.
- Cancel any time, in the app, in under a minute, no phone call, no retention flow. Founding 100 pricing holds $3.99 a month for twelve months from the day you subscribe, and then moves to the standard price; we tell you before it does.
- An optional AI top-up ($2.99 one-time for 100 extra AI actions) is available on the free tier. It's never required: the core features stay free regardless.
- Koha: when a free-tier user lands a job, the celebration screen invites a voluntary one-time koha. It buys nothing, unlocks nothing, and is never required. It funds the free tier for the next person.
3. Your content is yours
Everything you enter (jobs, notes, contacts, salaries, documents) belongs to you. We claim no licence over it beyond what's technically required to show it back to you and run the features you use. You can export it all, or erase it all, whenever you like. Data handling is governed by the covenant, which is part of these terms and wins any conflict with them.
4. What we ask of you
- One account, for you personally. Don't resell access or run other people's job hunts commercially through a personal account (career coaches: talk to us, we like you).
- Don't use Jobtracker to harass anyone, scrape or attack the service, or store content that's unlawful.
- AI-written drafts (follow-ups, thank-you notes, why-this-role answers, referee requests, cover letters and negotiation scripts) are drafts. Read before you send; you're the sender.
5. Honest limits
- Take-home pay figures are indicative. They use standard assumptions (tax code M, no secondary tax or ESCT) and the current year's published rates. They're built to be right, and checked routinely, but your payslip is the truth.
- Guides are general information, not legal, financial or immigration advice. The scam checker reduces risk; it can't eliminate it.
- We aim for the service to be fast and always on, and it's built modestly on purpose, but we can't promise zero downtime. If we ever discontinue the service, you'll get ample notice and a full export of your data first.
- To the extent NZ law allows, our liability is capped at what you've paid us in the last 12 months. Nothing here limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act.
6. Housekeeping
- These terms are governed by New Zealand law, and NZ courts have jurisdiction.
- If we change these terms, we'll say so plainly on the site and by email, in advance, with the changes highlighted. No silent edits.
- Questions about any of this: email a human.
Where things stand today: accounts, sync and the AI tools are live. Paid subscriptions are not open yet, so no card is charged and no clause about payment applies to anybody until they are. Everything else on this page applies now.
