Terms

NextCryptoJob Terms for Candidates

These terms apply when you use NextCryptoJob (nextcryptojob.xyz) to look for a job. The service is run by the NextCryptoJob team hello@nextcryptojob.xyz ("we", "us").

Our Privacy Policy explains how we use your data. It is part of these terms.

How you accept. There are no boxes to tick. At the end of setup, under the Continue button, we write "By continuing you agree to the Terms and Privacy." Pressing Continue, and using the service after that, means you accept these terms and the Privacy Policy. We record the version you accepted and the date. If we change these terms, we tell you before the change takes effect.

1. Free for candidates, forever

NextCryptoJob is free for candidates. We will never ask you to pay, directly or indirectly, for any part of the service.

This is not only our choice. French law forbids any direct or indirect fee from job seekers for placement services (art. L5321-3 French Labour Code, https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000031643464). Breaking this rule is a criminal offence, punished by 6 months in prison and a EUR 3,750 fine (art. L5324-1, https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000022520917).

So, for candidates, there are:

no paid plans, premium features or "boosts";
no fee when you are hired;
no payment to appear higher in search results;
no token, NFT or crypto purchase required;
no paid access through APIs, x402 or agents.

Companies pay for access. You do not.

If anyone, including a company or an agency that uses NextCryptoJob, asks you to pay to get a job, an interview or an introduction, do not pay. Report it to hello@nextcryptojob.xyz. We will suspend that company.

2. Who can use the service

You must be at least 18.
You must act for yourself. One person, one account.
You must give true information.

3. Your account

You sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email, or with Telegram.
Keep access to your email and Telegram secure. Actions from your account are treated as yours.
Tell us at once if you think someone else uses your account.

4. Accounts and wallets you connect

Only your own. Connect only accounts and wallets that you control. Do not connect another person's X account, GitHub, YouTube channel, website or wallet. This is impersonation. It can also harm the real owner.

We take your word for it. We do not ask you to prove control: no code in your bio, no sign-in with X, no wallet signature. Your public card says that the sources are self-reported, and anyone can report a card.

The same X account, GitHub, YouTube channel, website or wallet can be on more than one account. Nobody can block you by adding your account first.
If someone reports that an account or wallet on a profile is not theirs, we may ask the person to prove control (for example by signing a message with the wallet). If they cannot, we remove it from their profile and may suspend the profile.

We never ask for your keys. We will never ask for your private key or seed phrase. A signature for verification only signs a text message. It never moves funds or gives permission to spend tokens. If you are asked to sign anything else "for NextCryptoJob", it is a scam.

5. Your score

Your score is part of the service you accept at the end of setup. We compute it from the sources you add, as "How scoring works" explains. If you add no sources, there is nothing to score. You can remove a source or delete your account at any time.
The score uses public data and a formula written by people. It is an indication of public signals. It is not a judgment of your worth, and it is not a reference.
Public data can be incomplete or wrong. We do not guarantee that your score is accurate or that it will stay the same.
If a source does not answer, we leave it out. We do not count it as zero.
Do not try to inflate your score artificially, for example with bought followers, fake engagement, wash trades or transactions between your own wallets. We may ignore such data, lower the affected score, or suspend your account.
We may change the formula. Each change gets a version number, and we explain it on the public scoring page.

Appeal. You can ask for a person to review any score, give your view and contest it. Use the "Appeal this score" button or write to hello@nextcryptojob.xyz. We answer within one month.

6. Your card

Your card shows your score, role and level. Your card page shows no wallet addresses and no links to your accounts.
You decide whether to publish and share your card. You can unpublish it at any time.
Once you share a card on X or elsewhere, other people can copy the image. We cannot remove copies that others made.
Do not edit a card to show a score you do not have.

7. Visibility to companies and contact

When you finish setting up, "Show me to companies" is on: being found by companies is what the service is for. You can turn it off at any time in Settings. While it is off, companies cannot find you.
When it is on, paying companies can see your score, roles, level, networks and verification badges. While "Show my Telegram directly" is also on, they see your Telegram, X, GitHub, YouTube, website and wallet addresses too. They never see your email without your approval, or raw data.
You choose how companies reach you:
- "Show my Telegram directly" (on when you finish setting up; turn it off in Settings): companies that can see your profile also see your Telegram handle and can message you. If you have no Telegram username, they send you an intro request instead. We never show your email in this mode.
- "Only after I approve each company": you see each request, with the company and role, and answer yes or no.
You can change these choices or switch visibility off at any time. This stops new access. A company that already received your contact holds it under its own responsibility. Our terms require it to use your contact only for recruiting.
We do not guarantee that any company will contact you, interview you or hire you.

8. Job digest

You can receive a daily digest of jobs by email or Telegram. You can stop it at any time, including with one click in each email.
Jobs come from public job boards and from companies that use NextCryptoJob. We do not check every job.
Be careful. A real employer never asks you to pay, to send crypto, or to share your keys. Report suspicious jobs to hello@nextcryptojob.xyz.

9. Acceptable use

You must not:

create fake accounts or more than one account;
connect accounts or wallets that you do not control;
manipulate the data used for your score;
use bots, scrapers or automated tools on the site, except the documented free job search tool for agents (MCP search_jobs);
try to access other people's profiles or company areas;
attack, overload or probe the service, except under a responsible disclosure you agreed with us;
use the introduction system to spam, harass or deceive companies;
use the service for anything illegal.

10. What you write

You keep all rights in what you write (for example what job you seek, or an appeal). You allow us to use it only to run the service for you.

11. Availability and changes to the service

We work to keep the service available, but we do not promise that it will be available without interruption. We may change or stop features. If we stop the service, we will tell you in advance and let you download your data.

12. Liability

We are responsible for our own failures under French law. We are not responsible for decisions that companies take, or for jobs posted by third parties. Nothing in these terms limits rights that consumer law gives you and that cannot be excluded.

13. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in Settings. We delete your data as the Privacy Policy explains.
Inactivity. If you do not use the service for 24 months, we warn you and then delete your account.
We can suspend or close your account if you break these terms, for example by impersonation or score manipulation. We tell you the reason, except where the law forbids it. For less serious breaches, we warn you first. You can contest our decision at hello@nextcryptojob.xyz.

14. Changes to these terms

We will tell you about important changes by email or Telegram at least 30 days before they apply. If you do not agree, you can delete your account. The free-for-candidates rule in section 1 will not change.

15. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law. If you live in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of that country.

If you have a complaint, write to hello@nextcryptojob.xyz first.

16. Contact

NextCryptoJob, hello@nextcryptojob.xyz.

NextCryptoJob Terms for Companies

These terms are a contract between NextCryptoJob, sole trader, France, hello@nextcryptojob.xyz, hello@nextcryptojob.xyz ("we", "us") and the company or agency that subscribes to NextCryptoJob ("you"). They apply to the CRM, the job posting tools, the REST API, the MCP server. Paying per request through x402 is coming soon and is not available yet (section 11).

The service is for businesses only. You confirm that you act for a business, not as a consumer.
The person who accepts these terms confirms that they may bind the company.
Recruiting agencies must apply. We approve agencies by hand and may refuse without giving a reason.
You must give true company information and keep it up to date.

2. Words used here

Candidate: a person with a NextCryptoJob account.
Visible candidate: a candidate whose "Show me to companies" setting is on.
Profile data: what we show you about a visible candidate: score, roles, level, networks, verification badges, experience, remote or city, and similar fields.
Contact data: the contact a candidate shares with you after approving your request, or at once if their "Show my Telegram directly" setting is on.
Candidate data: profile data, contact data and anything else you receive about candidates through the service.
Your data: pipeline stages, notes, tags, saved searches and jobs that your team creates.
Agent: software, including an AI agent, that uses the API or MCP server for you.

3. Your account and team

You can invite team members. You are responsible for everything your members and your agents do.
Each member must use their own login. Do not share logins.
Remove members who leave your company.

4. What you may do with candidate data

You may use candidate data only to recruit for real, open roles. For approved agencies, this means real roles of your clients.

5. What you must not do

You must not:

export, download in bulk, copy into another database, or keep candidate data outside the service, except contact data after the candidate approved contact;
scrape the site or use the API beyond the documented use and rate limits;
sell, rent, license or give candidate data to anyone;
use candidate data for marketing, for products other than recruiting, or to train or evaluate machine learning models;
try to identify a candidate before they approve contact, for example by matching their networks or activity with blockchain explorers or social networks;
contact a candidate outside the introduction flow before they approve;
send introduction requests in bulk or without a real role;
search, filter, rank or decide on candidates based on origin, sex, age, family situation, pregnancy, disability, health, religion, political opinion, union activity, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical appearance, family name, place of residence or any other ground listed in art. L1132-1 French Labour Code (https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000042026716);
ask a candidate for any payment, deposit or fee. French law forbids fees from job seekers for placement services (art. L5321-3 French Labour Code, https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000031643464). This applies to agencies too.

6. A person must decide

The score is an input to your judgment. It is not a decision.

You must not decide to hire, reject, or end a recruitment process with a candidate based solely on automated processing, including the score, a filter or an agent's output (art. 22 GDPR, https://gdpr-info.eu/art-22-gdpr/).
Before such a decision, a person in your team who has the authority to change it must look at the candidate's information.
Your agents may search, build shortlists and send introduction requests. They must not send rejections or offers without review by a person.
French law requires you to tell candidates, before you use them, which recruitment methods and techniques you use (art. L1221-8 French Labour Code, https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000006900847). If you use NextCryptoJob scores, tell the candidate.
Information you ask from candidates must serve only to assess their ability for the job (art. L1221-6, https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/id/LEGISCTA000006189415/).

7. Data protection roles

Before contact. We are the controller of profile data. We make it available to you in the service under these terms. You must treat it as confidential and use it only as section 4 allows.
After contact. When a candidate approves your request (or chose direct contact), you receive their contact data. From that moment you are an independent controller of the contact data and of your own recruitment process. You must:
- give the candidate the information required by art. 14 GDPR (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-14-gdpr/), at the latest at your first message to them;
- keep their data no longer than 2 years after your last contact with them, unless they agree to longer, as the CNIL recommends (https://www.cnil.fr/fr/cnil-direct/question/recrutement-un-employeur-peut-il-conserver-mon-dossier);
- answer their rights requests yourself.
Your data in the CRM. For notes, tags and pipeline stages that your team writes about candidates, you decide why and how they are processed. We store them for you as your processor under the data processing terms in Annex A (art. 28 GDPR, https://gdpr-info.eu/art-28-gdpr/).
When a candidate hides their profile or deletes their account, their profile data disappears from your view. Your notes about that candidate are deleted too.
Write notes that are factual and professional. Candidates can ask to see data about them.

8. Confidentiality

Keep candidate data and anything we mark as confidential secret. Share it only with team members who need it for recruiting.
These duties continue after the contract ends.

9. Security

Keep API keys secret. Do not put them in public code or client-side apps. Rotate a key at once if it leaks.
Tell us within 48 hours at hello@nextcryptojob.xyz if you suspect unauthorised access to your account, your keys or candidate data.
We keep a log of access to candidate data. We may review it to check that you follow these terms.

10. Subscription and payment

Price. 100 USDC per 30 days per company, unless your order says otherwise.
How you pay. In crypto only: USDC on Solana, to the address shown in your billing page. Each payment opens 30 days of access, counted from the moment the transfer is confirmed on chain. Nothing renews by itself: you pay again when you want the next 30 days.
Refunds. We do not refund part of a paid period, except where the law requires it or where we ended the contract without a fault on your side.
Late payment. For invoices paid late, penalties apply at the statutory rate and a fixed recovery fee of EUR 40 is due (art. L441-10 French Commercial Code, https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000038414392; art. D441-5, https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000043197457).
Price changes. We tell you at least 30 days before a price change. You can cancel before it applies.

11. API, MCP and x402 (coming soon)

Same rules. Everything your agents do through the API or the MCP server is subject to these terms, the same as actions in the CRM.
API keys. API keys work within your subscription.
x402: coming soon. Paying per request through the x402 protocol is not available yet. Today the only way to pay is the subscription in section 10, in USDC on Solana. If we switch x402 on, it will be in USDC on Solana, we will update these terms first, and the rules for it will be written here before it starts.
No contact data through the API without approval. Contact data is never returned through the API unless the candidate approved contact.
Rate limits. We set limits on requests per minute and per day. Today they are:
- 60 requests per minute for each API key, and 120 requests per minute for each signed-in team member in the web app;
- with a subscription, per day: 300 candidate searches (one page of up to 20 results is one search), 200 candidate profile views and 10 introduction requests, and at most 40 introduction requests in each 30-day period;
- during a trial, per day: 50 candidate searches, 50 candidate profile views and 3 introduction requests, and at most 5 introduction requests in the whole trial;
- public job search, without a key: 30 requests per minute for each IP address.

We may slow or block traffic above these limits, and we may change them with notice to you.

Identification. Your agents must identify your company in each request (through the key or the account linked to the payment).
Changes. We may change the API. We announce breaking changes at least 30 days ahead, except for urgent security fixes.

12. Job posts

Post only real, open jobs. Describe them accurately, including pay where you can.
A job post must not mention any ground listed in art. L1132-1 French Labour Code (art. L5321-2, https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000006903780).
For jobs performed in France, or offered by a French employer, French law has rules on the language of job offers (art. L5331-4 French Labour Code, https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000006903796). You are responsible for following them.
A job post must not ask candidates for any payment.
We may show your jobs in candidate digests and post them on our X account.
We may refuse or remove a job post that breaks these terms or the law. We tell you why.

13. Suspension and termination

You can end the contract at any time by cancelling your subscription.
We may suspend access at once, and then end the contract, if you:
- scrape, export or resell candidate data;
- discriminate, or ask candidates for money;
- try to identify candidates before contact;
- do not pay after a reminder;
- put the security of the service or of candidates at risk.
For other breaches, we warn you and give you 15 days to fix them.
When the contract ends, your access stops. You must delete profile data you still hold outside contacted candidates. We delete your data (Annex A) within 30 days, except invoices, which we keep 10 years by law.

14. Liability

The score is an indication based on public data. We do not guarantee its accuracy, or that any candidate is fit for your role, or any hiring result.
Our total liability under this contract is limited to the fees you paid in the 12 months before the event. This limit does not apply to fraud, gross negligence, or where the law forbids it.
You are liable for your use of candidate data, for your agents and for your job posts. You will cover our losses if a claim results from your breach of sections 4 to 9 or 12.

15. Changes to these terms

We tell you about changes at least 30 days before they apply. If you do not agree, you can cancel before that date.

16. Law and courts

French law applies. Disputes go to the courts of Paris, France.

For your data in the CRM (notes, tags, pipeline stages, saved searches, your jobs):

Subject and duration. We store and display your data so that your team can run its recruitment process, for as long as the contract lasts.
Instructions. We process your data only on your documented instructions, which are these terms and your use of the service.
Confidentiality. Only the operator of NextCryptoJob can access your data, and only to run, support or secure the service.
Security. We apply the measures in the Privacy Policy, section 14.
Sub-processors. Cloudflare (hosting and database). We tell you 30 days before we add or replace a sub-processor. You can object.
Assistance. We help you answer candidates' rights requests and meet your duties under arts. 32 to 36 GDPR.
Breach. We tell you without undue delay after we become aware of a breach that affects your data.
End. When the contract ends, we delete your data within 30 days. You can export it before.
Audits. We give you the information needed to show compliance with art. 28 GDPR.
Transfers. Hosting may involve transfer to the USA under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.
