Terms of Service

Last updated: May 12, 2026

Welcome to Breaking In. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you" or "your") and Breaking In ("Breaking In," "we," "us," or "our"), operated by Breaking In Technologies LLC, governing your access to and use of the Breaking In web application at breaking-in.io and all related services (the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. Your account

To use most features you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at help@breaking-in.io if you suspect unauthorized access.

You may delete your account at any time from inside the Service or by emailing help@breaking-in.io.

3. What Breaking In provides

The Service includes:

  • A tracker for managing your recruiting pipeline, contacts, and to-dos.
  • Donna, an AI assistant powered by third-party language models (such as Anthropic's Claude) that helps you manage your pipeline through natural-language conversation.
  • A practice mode with interview questions and AI-graded responses.
  • A mentor marketplace where you can book time with third-party mentors.
  • Optional integrations with Google Calendar for scheduling, and Stripe for mentor session payments.

We may add, modify, or remove features at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes that affect your use of the Service.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to violate any law, regulation, or the rights of others, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or the underlying infrastructure.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, except to the extent permitted by applicable law.
  • Use the Service to send spam, unsolicited marketing messages, or harass other users (including mentors).
  • Upload, generate, or transmit malicious code, viruses, or any content that is defamatory, obscene, or discriminatory.
  • Scrape, harvest, or redistribute the Service's question bank, model answers, or any proprietary content for commercial purposes.
  • Use automated systems to interact with the Service in ways that exceed reasonable human usage, except through any public API we formally document.
  • Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with any firm or institution.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these rules, without notice in serious cases.

5. Your content

You retain all rights to the content you create inside the Service — your pipeline entries, chat messages, notes, practice answers, and mentor reviews ("Your Content"). By using the Service you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to store, process, transmit, and display Your Content for the sole purpose of operating the Service for you.

We do not sell Your Content. We do not use Your Content to train machine-learning models. We do not share Your Content with other users except as necessary to provide user-facing features (for example, the mentor you book sees your name, email, and any note you provide, and other members of a group chat see messages you post there).

6. Public profiles and group chats

Your public profile — display name, title, school, and short bio — is visible to other signed-in Breaking In users. Your display name and title also appear next to your messages in any group chat you join. You can edit or clear any public-profile field at any time from the Public Profile section in Settings; the change takes effect immediately everywhere your profile is shown.

Only fill in what you're comfortable sharing publicly. Private fields you provide to help Donna (recruiting goal, current role, target firm types, additional context) are never shown to other users.

When you join a group chat, its other members can see your profile and your messages. Leaving a group removes you from its member list, but messages you already posted stay visible to the remaining members — the same way leaving a Slack channel works.

7. AI output

Donna's responses, practice question grading, and any other AI-generated output are produced by third-party language models. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased. You should independently verify anything Donna tells you before acting on it, especially for time-sensitive recruiting decisions. Breaking In does not guarantee the accuracy of AI output and is not liable for decisions you make based on it.

8. Mentor marketplace

Mentors are independent contractors, not employees of Breaking In. Breaking In is not responsible for the accuracy, quality, or outcome of any advice a mentor provides. We facilitate introductions and payments through Stripe Connect. Disputes between you and a mentor are primarily between you and the mentor; however, we will make reasonable efforts to mediate serious disputes and may refund sessions at our discretion.

Mentors must not solicit employment, investment, or any service outside the scope of the booked session. Report any such behavior to help@breaking-in.io.

9. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party services, including Google (Calendar OAuth), Anthropic (language models), Supabase (authentication and database), Stripe (payments), Resend (email), and Vercel (hosting). Your use of those services is subject to the relevant third party's own terms and policies. Breaking In is not responsible for the conduct or availability of third-party services.

10. Subscription, credits, and refunds

Free trial. New accounts receive a 14-day free trial with a limited amount of Donna AI credits. No credit card is required to start the trial. Access to Donna, interview-style practice, and adding new firms to the tracker is suspended at the end of the trial unless you subscribe. Your saved data remains on your account.

Subscription. Breaking In Pro is $10 per month, billed through Stripe. Your subscription renews automatically each month until cancelled. By subscribing you authorize Breaking In and its payment processor to charge your payment method on each renewal date. Prices may change on notice emailed to the address on file; changes take effect at your next renewal.

Credits. Your subscription includes a monthly allotment of Donna AI credits that refills at the start of each billing cycle. Unused monthly allotment does not carry over. You may also purchase one-time top-up credits ($10, $25, or $50); top-up credits stack with your monthly allotment and remain available as long as your subscription is active. Credits have no cash value, are not transferable, and expire if your subscription lapses.

Mentor sessions. Paid mentor sessions are charged separately at the price shown at checkout. You may request a refund for a mentor session within 24 hours of the scheduled start time if the mentor fails to join or the session is materially different from what was advertised.

Cancellation and refunds.You may cancel your subscription at any time from Settings → Plan & Billing. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then and no further charges will be made. Subscription fees are generally non-refundable once charged, and top-up credits are non-refundable in cash. We may, at our discretion, issue refunds or credit adjustments for billing errors or documented service outages. Refund and billing inquiries: help@breaking-in.io.

Promotion codes. Promotion codes (e.g. campus-club discounts) are valid only for the offer described and subject to any redemption limits, minimum terms, or expiration dates set in Stripe. Codes cannot be combined unless explicitly stated, have no cash value, and may be revoked for misuse.

11. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, logos, question bank, model answers, and all related content (excluding Your Content), is owned by Breaking In or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. No other rights are granted.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BREAKING IN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

BREAKING IN MAKES NO GUARANTEE THAT USING THE SERVICE WILL RESULT IN JOB OFFERS, INTERVIEW SUCCESS, OR ANY SPECIFIC CAREER OUTCOME. YOUR RESULTS DEPEND ON YOUR OWN EFFORTS AND MANY FACTORS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BREAKING IN AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOST OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL BREAKING IN'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO BREAKING IN IN THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Breaking In and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of the rights of any third party.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.

16. Use of Google API Services

If you connect your Google account to Breaking In, you also agree to comply with the Google API Services User Data Policy. Breaking In's access to your Google data is governed by the terms in our Privacy Policy and the Google API Services User Data Policy. You may revoke Breaking In's access to your Google account at any time through your Google Account permissions page.

17. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify you by email or through an in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
