Terms of Service

Acceptance of these terms

By using skilljudge.com or signing up for SkillJudge, you agree to these terms of service. If you are acting on behalf of an organization, you agree on its behalf and confirm you are authorized to do so. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

What SkillJudge is

SkillJudge is skills assessment software for hiring. You send candidates a coding challenge, role-specific task or structured interview, and the service scores the work against a transparent rubric and returns a candidate scorecard with an overall grade, per-skill sub-scores, evidence-linked rationale and a ranked shortlist. It is offered on paid plans.

SkillJudge is decision support. The AI scores and ranks candidates, but you remain responsible for every hiring decision. The scorecard helps you compare candidates on proven ability, and a human at your organization always makes the final call.

Human makes the final decision

You agree that SkillJudge does not make hiring decisions and is not used as the sole basis for any employment decision. Scores and rankings are inputs for a human reviewer, who must apply judgment and consider context before deciding to advance, reject or hire any candidate. You are responsible for ensuring a qualified person reviews the results and makes the final decision.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for using the service in line with all laws that apply to you, including employment, anti-discrimination, data protection and privacy laws. You agree to provide accurate information, to only submit candidate work and data you have the right to use, and to obtain any consent your candidates are entitled to. You are responsible for reviewing the scorecards before you act on them and for the decisions you make.

Acceptable use and no unlawful discrimination

SkillJudge is intended for legitimate hiring use by employers, teams and agencies assessing candidates for roles. You agree to use the service responsibly and to comply with all applicable laws and platform policies.

You agree not to use the service to:

• Make or support hiring decisions that unlawfully discriminate on the basis of any protected characteristic.
• Submit candidate data you do not have the right to use, or that infringes someone else's rights or privacy.
• Assess candidates without the notice or consent required where you operate.
• Attempt to disrupt, reverse engineer, scrape, or overload the service or circumvent its limits.
• Resell or redistribute the service except under a written agreement with us.

You are responsible for the candidate data you submit and for how you use the scorecards and rankings.

Your content and data

As between you and us, you keep all rights to the assessments, candidate work and data you submit and to the scorecards you receive. You grant us only the limited permission needed to process that data and provide the service to you, as described in our privacy policy. We do not sell your data and we do not use candidate assessment data to train public models or for anyone else's marketing.

Accounts and access

You must provide accurate information when you sign up and keep any credentials secure. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account, including the actions of your hiring seats. Tell us promptly if you believe your account or access has been used without your permission.

Plans, billing and refunds

SkillJudge is offered on paid plans, including Starter, Growth, Scale and Enterprise. All prices and charges are in US dollars. Plans are sized by hiring seats and scored candidates per month. Subscriptions renew automatically, monthly or yearly depending on the term you choose, until cancelled. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable. We may change our plans and prices, and we will give notice of changes that affect an active subscription.

Service availability

We work to keep SkillJudge available and performing well, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may update, change or temporarily suspend features to maintain and improve the service.

Intellectual property

SkillJudge, including its software, models, rubrics, interface, content and brand, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service in accordance with these terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute or create derivative works from the service except as expressly permitted. The names of other companies, platforms and products referenced on this site are used for identification only and remain the property of their respective owners.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service is error-free, and we make no warranty about the hiring outcomes, job performance or results that follow from using a scorecard. Scores are decision support, not a guarantee of a candidate's future performance. The figures shown on this site are typical outcomes, not guarantees.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SkillJudge and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the service or from any hiring decision you make. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim.

Termination

You can stop using the service at any time and cancel your plan. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms or use the service in a way that risks harm to others, to candidates or to the platform.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service evolves. When we make material changes we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [governing jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
