Folio

Terms of Use & End-User Licence Agreement

Last updated: 6 September 2026 · Folio for Android and iOS

Short version: Folio is free to download and free to use. Your CV belongs to you and we claim nothing in it. An optional PRO upgrade — a monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase — unlocks every template and removes both the advertising and the small Folio line on an exported page; it is sold and billed by Apple or Google, not by us. On Android you can also unlock a clean export by watching a short video instead of paying. Folio helps you write a CV; it does not find you a job.

This End-User Licence Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you and Cozma Nicolae (“the Developer”, “we”, “us”), an individual developer established in the Republic of Moldova, for the mobile application Folio (the “App”). By downloading, installing or using the App you accept this Agreement. If you do not accept it, do not use the App.

How the App handles your information is described separately in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of this Agreement.

1. Licence grant

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal or professional purposes. This licence is subject to this Agreement and to the terms of the store you obtained the App from — the Apple App Store or Google Play. It is a licence to use the App; the App is not sold to you.

2. Restrictions

You may not:

3. The App and free use

Folio builds a CV from a guided form and exports it as an A4 PDF. Creating, editing, storing and exporting a CV are free, need no account and no registration, and work offline. The free tier includes sixteen of the CV templates. A CV exported without an unlock carries a small Made with Folio line at the foot of the page; nothing else about it is limited, and no export is ever refused.

4. Your CV is yours

Everything you write into the App — your name, your history, your contact details, your photograph — is yours. We claim no ownership of it and take no licence in it. We do not use it to train anything, we do not sell it, and we do not show it to anyone.

The PDF you export is yours to use for any purpose, including a commercial one, with no attribution required and no restriction from us. That is true of a free export and a PRO export alike; the only difference between them is the Folio line described in section 3.

You are responsible for keeping your own copies. CVs live on your device, so uninstalling the App, losing the device or clearing its data removes them, and we cannot recover them for you.

5. What you may not put in a CV

You are responsible for what you write. In particular, you must not use the App to impersonate another person, to state qualifications or employment you do not have, or to include somebody else’s personal data — a referee’s phone number, for example — without a lawful basis for doing so. We do not review what you write and cannot see it, so this obligation is yours alone.

6. Folio PRO

PRO is optional. It unlocks all forty-four templates, removes the Folio line from an exported page, and removes advertising. It is offered in two forms:

7. Payments, billing and refunds

All purchases are sold and processed by the Apple App Store (on iOS) or Google Play (on Android), not by the Developer. Your payment is charged to your store account, and your payment-card and billing details are handled entirely by Apple or Google under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not process payments and never receive or store your payment-card information.

Refunds are therefore governed by the store’s policy and requested from the store, not from us. We can help you work out what happened, but we cannot issue a refund ourselves.

8. Advertising and rewarded video

On Android only, the App may show advertising supplied by Google AdMob. Advertising is optional in the sense that matters: a video is only ever played because you chose to watch one in exchange for something — a clean export, or a premium template — and declining costs you nothing but that reward. You are never required to watch anything to use the App or to export your CV.

Where the law requires it, you will be asked for consent to personalised advertising before any ad is requested, through Google’s consent message. You may refuse, and you may change your choice later; refusing means fewer or non-personalised ads, and never means losing access to the App.

PRO removes advertising entirely. The iOS version of the App contains no advertising software of any kind.

9. Importing a CV from a PDF

The App can read an existing CV from a PDF file you choose, so you do not have to retype it. This is the one feature where your data leaves your device, and it is worth being exact about.

Import depends on a service that can be unavailable, is subject to shared usage limits, and may be changed, limited to PRO or withdrawn. It is a convenience, not a guarantee, and its accuracy is not warranted — always check an imported CV before you send it anywhere. The Privacy Policy describes this flow in more detail.

10. Third-party services

The App uses RevenueCat to validate purchases and to keep your PRO status consistent across your devices, and Google Firebase for anonymous usage analytics and crash reporting. Analytics never carries the content of your CV. Android additionally uses Google AdMob and Google’s consent platform, as described in section 8, and the import feature uses the services described in section 9. Each of these operates under its own terms.

You are responsible for any data or carrier charges your use of the App incurs, and for complying with your mobile carrier’s terms.

11. Intellectual property and templates

The App, its name, its logo, its source code and its CV templates are owned by the Developer and are protected by copyright. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any of it to you.

The templates are licensed to you for producing your own CV, and for nothing else. You may export, print, send and publish a CV you made with one, without limit and without attribution. You may not extract, redistribute, resell or republish the templates themselves — as files, as designs, or as part of another product or service.

12. No employment guarantee

Folio is a document tool. It does not give career, recruitment or legal advice, it does not review or endorse what you write, and it cannot guarantee an interview, an offer or any other outcome. Any guidance in the App — suggested wording, section ordering, a warning that a CV runs past one page — is a convenience and not professional advice.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device, or that any defect will be corrected.

Nothing here excludes or limits any statutory right you have as a consumer that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profit, opportunity or employment, arising out of or in connection with the App — including a CV lost with a device, and including anything that follows from an error in an imported or exported document.

Our total liability for all claims relating to the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim arose, or the minimum the law requires.

15. Term and termination

This Agreement takes effect when you first use the App and continues until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach it. You may terminate it at any time by deleting the App from your devices. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of a purchase already made, and does not remove a lifetime purchase from your store account. Sections 4, 11, 13, 14 and 18 survive termination.

16. Changes to this Agreement

We may revise this Agreement — for example when a feature is added or a price model changes. The revised version takes effect when it is published here, and the date at the top of this page is updated. Continuing to use the App after that is acceptance. If a change is one you do not accept, stop using the App and cancel any subscription.

17. Apple-specific terms

Where you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

18. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Moldova, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Where you use the App as a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you live.
