The fine print, in plain English

Terms of Use

These are the rules for using Diogenes. We've kept them readable on purpose — a tool built on honesty shouldn't hide its terms in legalese.

Last updated: September 29, 2026

01

Agreeing to these terms

By using GetDiogenes (getdiogenes.com, also called "Diogenes"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the service. GetDiogenes is operated by Sharif-Ali Asadullayev, an individual based in Baku, Azerbaijan ("GetDiogenes", "Diogenes", "we", "us").

02

What Diogenes is

Diogenes is a set of AI-powered job-search tools. It reviews job applications (the Checker), runs mock interviews (the Hot Seat and the Tank), and reads job postings to estimate whether they're worth your effort (the Job Checker). In each case it gives you AI-generated feedback — a score, flags, signals, and suggested fixes. It's a tool to help you prepare and decide.

Diogenes is not a recruiter, an employer, a career counsellor, a background-check service, or a guarantee of anything. It doesn't build resumes for you and it doesn't place you in jobs.

Diogenes also has a community area (Challenges) where users can submit practice scenarios and browse ones other people have made.

It also lets you track applications (the Ledger), save resumes and job posts to reuse across tools, and search job listings screened for ghost-job signs. In the Hot Seat, the interviewer's voice is AI-generated; it is not a real person.

03

Who can use it

You must be at least 16 years old to use Diogenes. By using it, you confirm you meet that requirement.

04

Your responsibilities

— Give accurate information when you create an account or contact us.

— Keep your login details secure; you're responsible for activity under your account.

— Only upload content you have the right to share. Don't upload someone else's resume or personal information without their permission.

— If you answer by voice, only record yourself.

05

Acceptable use

Don't use Diogenes to:

— Break the law or infringe anyone's rights.

— Scrape, copy, reverse-engineer, or resell the service.

— Overload, attack, or interfere with how Diogenes works.

— Submit malicious, harmful, or deliberately misleading content.

— In community submissions, post sexual, hateful, harassing, or illegal content; impersonate anyone; or include a real, identifiable person's private information.

06

About the feedback

Diogenes's feedback is informational and AI-generated. "Recruiter-grade" describes the style and rigor we aim for — it is not an actual recruiter's or employer's decision.

We don't guarantee that following Diogenes's advice will get you interviews, offers, or any particular result. Hiring decisions are made by other people and systems entirely outside our control. Diogenes is not legal, financial, or professional career advice. Use your own judgment.

About the Job Checker specifically. When Diogenes assesses whether a job posting looks like a "ghost job," that verdict is a signal, not a verified fact or a guarantee. Diogenes shows you a confidence level on purpose: a posting Diogenes flags may still be real, and one it clears may still be a dead end. To research real postings, Diogenes may also pull publicly available information — such as salary ranges and company reviews — from third-party sources on the web. That third-party information can be incomplete, out of date, or wrong, and it is not an accusation about, or an endorsement of, any employer. Treat the Job Checker as a filter for your effort, not the final word — and make your own decisions.

About job search results. Listings come from a third-party provider (Adzuna) and belong to the employers who posted them; we don't control, verify, or endorse them. The fit scores and ghost-risk labels on search results are quick estimates based on a short excerpt of each listing, not a full check. Always apply through the original listing.

07

Your content & our content

Your content stays yours. You keep ownership of everything you upload. You grant us only the limited permission needed to process that content and give you feedback — nothing more.

Our content stays ours. Diogenes's software, design, brand, and the system that powers its reviews belong to us. Don't copy or reuse them without permission.

Community submissions. If you submit a challenge to the community area, you keep ownership of it, but you grant us permission to review, publish, display, and remove it. Nothing goes live automatically — we review every submission by hand and may reject or remove anything, for any reason, at any time. If we approve it, it becomes publicly visible to other users, shown with the handle you chose ("Made by @…"). Only submit content you have the right to share, and don't include private personal information — yours or anyone else's — because approved submissions are public.

08

Payments & credits

Diogenes runs on credits. You buy credits in bundles and spend them as you use the tools — a check costs 1 credit, a job search costs 1, a Job Check costs 2, a Hot Seat mock interview costs 4, and a round in the Tank costs 5. Credits are only spent when a tool actually delivers its result. There's no subscription and no auto-renewal: you only pay for what you use, and credits don't expire. If an AI request fails, that attempt isn't charged.

Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, our payment provider and Merchant of Record. This means Dodo handles the transaction, billing, and any applicable sales tax or VAT as the seller of record, and your purchase is also subject to Dodo's buyer terms. Diogenes never sees or stores your full card details.

Refunds. Because credits are a digital product, credits you've already spent aren't refundable. If something went wrong with a purchase, contact us and we'll help put it right. We may change prices over time, but a change never affects credits you've already bought.

09

Availability & changes

We may update, pause, or change features of Diogenes as the product evolves. We'll try not to break things you rely on, but we can't promise the service will always be available or unchanged.

10

Disclaimers

Diogenes is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We don't warrant that the feedback is error-free, complete, or suitable for any specific purpose.

11

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Diogenes and Sharif-Ali Asadullayev are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your use of the service — including missed opportunities or hiring outcomes. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law.

12

Ending access

You can stop using Diogenes at any time. We may suspend or end access if you break these terms or misuse the service.

13

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and any disputes will be handled by the courts located there.

14

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, announce them clearly. Continuing to use Diogenes means you accept the updated terms.
