Terms

Last updated 25 September 2026

These terms cover the Foothold website and the unpacked Chrome extension you download from it. Downloading or using either one means you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use Foothold.

What it is

Foothold reads hiring posts in a LinkedIn tab you already have open, scores them, and can save Gmail drafts. It does not send email. You review every draft yourself. Addresses read from images can be wrong. Check them before you send.

Foothold is not LinkedIn, Google, or OpenAI, and it is not endorsed by them.

Your accounts

You use your own LinkedIn login, your own OpenAI API key, and, if you want drafts, your own Google account. You pay any API charges. You follow the terms of LinkedIn, Google, and OpenAI.

Automated use of LinkedIn can violate LinkedIn’s user agreement and can restrict your account. That risk is yours. Use the extension sparingly, and only on an account you are willing to put at that risk.

How you may use it

Use it for your own job search or freelance outreach. Do not use it to spam, to pretend to be someone else, to scrape data for resale, or to break the law. You are responsible for the emails you actually send.

The software

Foothold is provided as is. There is no warranty that it will find posts, draft useful email, keep working after LinkedIn or Chrome changes, or be free of mistakes. You can stop by removing the extension.

To the extent the law allows, the publisher is not liable for lost work, a restricted account, a wrong email address, API charges, or anything else that comes from using Foothold. If a law does not allow that limit, liability is limited to the smallest amount that law allows.

Changes

These terms can be updated by posting a new version on this page. Continuing to use Foothold after that means you accept the new version.
