The Outbound AnimalTerms of Service
Last updated 8 September 2026
These terms govern your use of The Outbound Animal (“the Service”), operated by 680 Partners (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to them. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind it.
The Service is in beta
This is pre-release software under active development. Features change, and occasionally break. We do not offer a uptime guarantee, and you should not rely on the Service as the only record of anything that matters to your business. Keep your own copies of data you cannot afford to lose.
Your account
You sign in with a Microsoft or Google account. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for the people you invite into your organisation. Tell us promptly if you believe an account has been compromised.
You must be at least 18 and use the Service for professional purposes. One person, one account — do not share credentials.
What you may not do
The Service sends email on your behalf. That capability is easy to abuse and abuse is what gets sending domains blocked, so this section is not boilerplate. You may not:
- Send unsolicited bulk email unrelated to a genuine recruiting purpose, or otherwise send spam.
- Ignore an opt-out. When someone asks not to be contacted, you must stop — the Service records suppressions for this reason and you must not work around them.
- Misrepresent who you are, who you represent, or the role you are recruiting for.
- Upload data you have no lawful basis to hold, or that you obtained in breach of an agreement.
- Use the Service to harass anyone, or to contact people about anything other than professional opportunities.
- Attempt to breach the Service’s security, access another organisation’s data, or probe its infrastructure without permission.
- Resell or white-label the Service without a written agreement with us.
You are also responsible for complying with the law where you and your recipients are — including CAN-SPAM, GDPR and UK GDPR, PECR, CASL, and any equivalent rules that apply to your outreach. The Service gives you tools; it does not make your campaign lawful.
Your data
You own the data you put into the Service, including your contacts, notes and messages. We claim no ownership of it. We process it to provide the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for having a lawful basis to hold and process the personal data of the candidates you store, and for responding to their requests about it. We will assist you in doing so.
You can export your data at any time. If you close your account, we delete or return it within 90 days, with the exception of suppression records — see the Privacy Policy for why those persist.
Mailbox and calendar access
You grant the Service permission to send from your mailbox, read incoming mail to detect replies, and read your calendar to detect booked meetings. You can revoke that permission at any time from your Microsoft or Google account settings, without asking us. Revoking it stops sending and syncing immediately, and will stop in-progress campaigns.
AI features
Some features use automated language models to classify replies, draft suggested responses, personalise messages and parse resumes. Their output can be wrong. Anything the Service drafts is a draft: you are responsible for what you send, and for the recruiting decisions you make. Do not treat a classification or a fit score as a judgement about a person.
Availability and support
We aim to keep the Service running and to fix things promptly, but during beta we do not commit to a service level, a response time, or advance notice of downtime. We may change or remove features.
Fees
Beta access is currently provided without charge. If we introduce fees, we will give account holders notice before they apply, and you may close your account instead of paying.
Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms — particularly the sending rules above — or where continued use puts the Service, its other users, or their sending reputation at risk. Where circumstances allow, we will tell you first.
Disclaimer and liability
The Service is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any message will be delivered.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost placements, lost data, or damage to sending reputation. Our total liability arising from the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred US dollars.
Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your use of the Service, the messages you send through it, and the data you upload to it — including claims by candidates or clients.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change is material, we will notify account holders by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the change.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, and the courts of New York County have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
