Telegraph 'free' CV Review Service - any catches?

The Telegraph newspaper is offering a free review of CVs. I am tempted but when I read the T&C's there is much talk about payments etc and 'third party' web sites. I don't understand it all. Does anyone have a clear view of any catches involved in the use of this service? Am I locking into something or is there chance of mis-use of my CV?
Very grateful for any help offered.

  • I was apraoched recently by a well known cv writing company recently and they did the review for free as promised then tried to charge me £40 for rewrite it.
    I would guess the same would happen with that offer.

    I recently used jobsvitae.co.uk free cv wizard and rewrote it myself.

    Sorry I am new user otherwise I would have posted the link straight to the site I used.

    if you google jobsvitae.co.uk you will be able to find it yourself.
