Terms of use

What Matchly does, and doesn't

• It shows you businesses that could use your skills, with the gaps we measured, and helps you make a sample, a pitch page and a message.
• It never sends anything for you. You send every message yourself, from your own accounts.
• It can't promise you clients. Business details come from public sources and can be out of date, so check them before you send.
• AI drafts are suggestions. Read and correct everything before you use it: what you send is your responsibility.

Your account

You need to be 18 or over. Keep your details accurate, and keep your sign-in email secure: you're responsible for what happens in your account.

Pitching fairly

Matchly only works if businesses don't feel spammed. When you pitch through it, you agree to:

• Be honest about who you are and what you offer. Don't pretend to work for the business, or for anyone else.
• Only state facts you can stand behind, and never claim results you can't deliver.
• Respect the limits: a reservation lasts 48 hours, a business can get at most three pitches a month for each skill, and anyone who says no is never pitched again.
• Stop contacting a business that asks you to, on any channel.
• Follow the law where you and the business are, including email rules such as the US CAN-SPAM Act (your real postal address, an honest subject line, and a way to opt out).

Samples and your work

• Your work is yours. Making a sample doesn't give the business any rights to it until they hire you.
• Samples are private. You may show one in your public portfolio only after the business says it's okay.
• Use a business's name, logo and photos only to make their sample, not for anything else.
• Only upload what you have the right to use.

Plans and payments

• The free plan has limits shown in the app, such as the number of sample pitches and contacts each month.
• Pro renews every month until you cancel. A pass covers 30 days and doesn't renew. Paystack takes the payment.
• If a payment goes wrong, email us within 7 days and we'll look into it. Apart from that, payments aren't refunded except where the law says they must be.
• We'll tell you before we change prices, and changes apply from your next payment.

Things you mustn't do

• Copy, export or resell business details from Matchly for use outside it.
• Use bots or scripts to access Matchly, or try to get around its limits.
• Harass anyone, send spam, or use the app for anything unlawful or misleading.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. You can stop using Matchly at any time, and ask us to delete your data.

Our responsibility

We work hard to keep Matchly accurate and running, but we provide it as it is, without promises that it will always be available, error-free or win you work. As far as the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect losses, such as lost clients or income, and our total responsibility to you is limited to what you paid us in the three months before the problem. Nothing here limits rights you have by law that can't be limited.

The legal bits

• These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the courts of Lagos State can hear any dispute.
• If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect. Using the app after that means you accept the change.
