Terms
Last updated: 22 October 2026
These terms apply when you use the Lee Harding CV Score and Full CV Review ("the service"), and when you buy one of our ebooks (section 12). The service is provided by Lee Harding, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom, of Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA ("we", "us"). Contact: lee@leeharding.me.
By creating an account you agree to these terms.
1. The service
CV Score (free). A high-level diagnostic assessment of your CV, with a score out of 100. It identifies potential issues but does not explain how to fix them. Free accounts can complete up to 2 CV Scores in any 7-day period. Active Full CV Review access isn't affected by this limit.
Full CV Review (paid). Detailed recruiter-style feedback on your CV, including recommendations and suggested rewrites where appropriate. You can review as many versions of your own CV as you like while your access is active, in line with fair use (section 5).
Both are produced by software that applies Lee Harding's recruitment methodology using artificial intelligence (AI).
2. Important limitations
- The service gives guidance and opinion only. It doesn't guarantee interviews, job offers or any other outcome.
- The results are generated automatically and may occasionally contain errors or inaccuracies. Always check suggested rewrites before using them, and include only information that is true and that you can support. You're responsible for the content of your own CV.
- The service is not legal, financial or careers advice from a qualified professional.
3. Your account
You must be 18 or over to use the service. You need a free account, with a working email address, to use the service. Keep your password (if you use one) and your email account secure, because sign-in codes are sent there; you're responsible for activity on your account. Accounts are for individual use and must not be shared.
4. Payment and access
- Full CV Review access costs £29 as a one-off payment. We're not registered for VAT, so no VAT is charged.
- It gives you access for 12 months from the date your payment is confirmed.
- It is not a subscription and does not renew automatically. When your access ends you can buy another 12 months if you wish.
- Payments are processed by Stripe.
- Refunds and cancellations are covered by our Refund Policy.
5. Fair use of the Full CV Review
Your £29 payment lets you review and re-review your own CV as often as you reasonably need during your 12-month access period.
Normal use is always fine. Improving, editing and repeatedly reviewing your own CV during your 12-month access period, including different versions for different roles, does not breach fair use.
Fair use means you must not:
- share your account or sign-in details with anyone else;
- review CVs that belong to other people, such as friends, family, clients or candidates;
- use the service for clients or for any other commercial purpose, such as CV writing, coaching or recruitment services;
- resell, sublicense or otherwise commercially exploit the service or its results;
- submit CVs using automated tools, or in unusually high volumes that don't reflect one person working on their own CV;
- try to get around our technical limits, for example by using several accounts; or
- use the service in any other way that places an unreasonable burden on it.
Technical limits. We may apply reasonable technical limits to protect the security, availability and proper operation of the service, such as limits on how many reviews can be run in a short period. They're set well above normal use. There is no overall cap on the number of reviews of your own CV during your access period.
If we suspect misuse. We may contact you about it and, where appropriate, we'll normally give you an opportunity to correct the issue. We may temporarily restrict your access while we look into it. For serious or repeated misuse, we may suspend or end your access.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- upload anything that isn't a CV or that you don't have the right to use;
- use automated tools, scripts or bots to access the service, or try to overload, disrupt or reverse-engineer it;
- try to extract the instructions or methodology behind the service;
- resell or commercially redistribute the service or its results.
We apply reasonable technical limits to prevent abuse. Normal personal use will not be affected by them. We may suspend accounts that break these terms.
7. Your content and ours
You keep ownership of your CV. You give us permission to process it only to provide your result. We don't permanently store it in our application (see our Privacy Policy).
You may use your results, including suggested rewrites, freely for your own job search. The service, its methodology, design and branding belong to us.
8. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the service available but can't guarantee it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. We may update or improve the service. If we ever permanently withdraw the Full CV Review while you have paid access, we'll offer a pro-rata refund for the unused period.
9. Our liability
Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer, or our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot legally be limited.
Otherwise, we aren't responsible for losses that weren't foreseeable, for business losses, or for decisions made by employers or recruiters. Our total liability to you in connection with the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
10. Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time from Account settings. Deleting your account ends any remaining paid access (see the Refund Policy).
11. General
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK, you may also bring proceedings in your home courts. We may update these terms; we'll show the date of the latest version above, and material changes won't affect access you've already paid for.
12. Buying an ebook
- Our ebooks are sold in our shop at the price shown on each book's page (for example, The Workplace Wasn't Designed for Introverts at £9.99 and How I'd Get a Job in 30 Days at £9), as a one-off payment through Stripe. You don't need an account. You must be 18 or over.
- It's a PDF file. We email it to the address you give at checkout straight after payment. If it hasn't arrived within 15 minutes, check your spam folder, then email us and we'll send it again.
- At checkout you'll be asked to agree that you want the ebook straight away and that your 14-day right to cancel ends once it has been sent to you. See our Refund Policy.
- The ebook is for your own personal use. You may keep it and read it on your own devices, but you may not copy, share, sell or publish it, in whole or in part, except for brief quotations in reviews. All rights stay with Lee Harding.
- Our ebooks are general information and opinion about careers and work, not professional advice for your particular situation. They don't guarantee any outcome, including getting a job, an interview or a job within any particular time.
- Sections 9 and 11 also apply to our ebooks.
