Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-04-30 · Effective: 2026-04-24

1. The service

Metrux AI (“we”, “us”) operates a hiring-assessment platform. Companies (“Customers”) send time-boxed coding assessments to candidates (“Candidates”). Candidates complete assessments in an isolated sandbox; we record prompts, edits, and test runs; we compute a scorecard. These Terms govern use of the platform by Customers. Candidate use is separately governed by the candidate acknowledgment shown on the invite landing page.

2. Accounts

Customer accounts are provisioned via Clerk-backed sign-up. The first user at a Customer is the owner. Owners can invite additional members and assign roles (admin, recruiter, viewer). Customers are responsible for keeping credentials secure and for the activity of users under their account.

3. Acceptable use

  • Do not reverse-engineer the sandbox, proxy, or grader.
  • Do not use the platform to assess candidates for discriminatory purposes.
  • Do not upload content you do not have the right to use.
  • Do not attempt to access, enumerate, or exfiltrate another Customer's or Candidate's data, including via timing, error, or rate-limit side channels.
  • Do not use the platform to train or fine-tune machine-learning models on Candidate code or session data.
  • Do not attempt to circumvent rate limits, IP blocks, or per-session budget caps.

Violation may result in account suspension and, for egregious abuse, cooperation with law enforcement.

4. Bring-your-own Anthropic key

The platform requires Customers to supply their own Anthropic API key to enable the AI features in a candidate session. The Customer's contract with Anthropic governs use of that key; Metrux acts as a passthrough and per-session resolver and does not hold the plaintext key at rest. See the Privacy Policy for how the wrapped key is stored.

5. Intellectual property

  • Candidate code. Candidates retain ownership of code they author during an assessment. The Customer is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to the candidate's code for the sole purpose of making a hiring decision about that candidate.
  • Platform IP. We retain ownership of the platform itself: the challenge library, grading models, scorecards, and derived analytics.
  • Aggregated analytics. We may retain de-identified, aggregated statistics (score distributions, difficulty calibration, etc.) indefinitely. These never identify any individual candidate or Customer.

6. Data handling

How we collect, use, retain, and delete data is detailed in our Privacy Policy. For enterprise Customers processing EU or California candidate data, our Data Processing Addendum applies in addition to these Terms. The list of vendors that process Customer data on our behalf is published at /legal/subprocessors.

7. Security

Security measures are detailed in our Privacy Policy. In summary: wrapped customer-supplied API keys with plaintext never persisted, per-tenant isolation at the application and API layers, append-only audit logging, secret-pattern redaction in logs, and rate limits with an IP-level blocklist. Transport encryption, managed-database encryption at rest, and backup retention are deployed with our cloud infrastructure baseline before Customer-facing production traffic. Security disclosures to security@metrux.ai; see our security.txt.

8. Availability

During closed beta we do not offer a formal uptime SLA or a specific availability target. We aim for best-effort availability, announce scheduled maintenance in advance, and may perform emergency maintenance without notice. A numerical uptime SLA, if offered, will be negotiated in writing at the time a Customer moves to a paid plan.

9. Fees

Closed-beta pricing is negotiated per Customer. Stage 1 pricing and billing will be documented at the time of public launch.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate the agreement with 30 days' written notice. On termination, the Customer's account enters a 30-day grace window during which data can be restored; after the grace window, data is deleted per the Privacy Policy. Provisions that by their nature survive termination (IP ownership, confidentiality, liability) do so.

11. Warranty disclaimer

The platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We disclaim all warranties to the extent permitted by law, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Scorecards are decision-support, not hiring decisions; the Customer is the hiring decision-maker and is responsible for ensuring its hiring practices comply with applicable employment law.

12. Liability cap

Our aggregate liability in any 12-month period is capped at the fees paid by the Customer for the service in that period, or $100 if no fees have been paid. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. This does not limit liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or breaches of confidentiality.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Disputes are resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.

14. Changes

Material changes are announced to Customers at least 30 days in advance. Non-material changes (typos, clarifications) take effect immediately with a changelog note.
