1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ClankerRank Hire (“the Platform”, “Service”), operated by ClankerRank (“we”, “us”, “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ClankerRank.

2. Definitions

  • “Admin” — An authorized user with an employer/administrator account on ClankerRank Hire.
  • “Candidate” — An individual who takes a technical assessment through the Platform.
  • “Assessment” — A coding test or technical evaluation created and administered through the Platform.
  • “Personal Data” — Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined by applicable data protection laws.

3. Eligibility & Account Registration

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. Admin accounts are created exclusively through authorized invite links. By creating an account, you represent that:

  • All registration information you provide is truthful and accurate.
  • You will maintain the accuracy of such information.
  • You are authorized to act on behalf of your organization.
  • Your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

4. Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized access or use of your account. We implement industry-standard security measures including scrypt password hashing, AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive data, and HMAC-SHA256 for data integrity verification. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Use of the Service

As an Admin, you may use the Platform to:

  • Create and manage technical assessments for hiring purposes.
  • Invite candidates to complete assessments.
  • Review candidate submissions and results.
  • Manage proctoring settings and assessment parameters.

You agree NOT to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
  • Collect or store candidate data beyond what is necessary for the hiring process.
  • Share assessment content, questions, or solutions publicly.
  • Attempt to circumvent any security measures of the Platform.
  • Use the Service to discriminate against candidates on any legally protected basis.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Platform.
  • Transmit any malicious code, viruses, or harmful content through the Platform.

6. Data Processing & Compliance

When you use ClankerRank Hire to assess candidates, you act as a Data Controller and ClankerRank acts as a Data Processor with respect to candidate personal data (as defined under GDPR, LGPD, POPIA, and equivalent frameworks). You agree to:

  • Obtain all necessary consents from candidates before inviting them to assessments.
  • Inform candidates about data collection and processing in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

7. Intellectual Property

ClankerRank retains all rights, title, and interest in the Platform, including its software, design, algorithms, and documentation. Assessment problems provided by ClankerRank remain our intellectual property. Code submitted by candidates during assessments remains the intellectual property of the respective candidate unless otherwise agreed between you and the candidate. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Platform solely for its intended purpose.

8. Proctoring & Monitoring

The Platform offers optional proctoring features including tab-switch detection, fullscreen monitoring, and focus-loss tracking. If you enable proctoring for an assessment, you are responsible for informing candidates about the monitoring in advance and ensuring that such monitoring complies with applicable laws in your jurisdiction and the candidate's jurisdiction.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLANKERRANK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO CLANKERRANK IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

12. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

We process data in accordance with GDPR (EU/EEA), CCPA (California), LGPD (Brazil), POPIA (South Africa), PIPEDA (Canada), APP (Australia), and PDPA (Singapore/Thailand) as applicable.
