Terms of use

What we owe you, and what you agree to.

Last updated 23 October 2026.

The short version

Who these terms bind

Trial Day is operated by a sole trader based in India. Throughout this page, "we" is that business, "you" is whoever is reading, and "the service" is the software at this domain.

Three groups are covered and their obligations differ. Employers hold an account and pay to assess candidates. Candidates are sent a link, sit an assessment, and pay nothing. Members of the talent pool join by invitation to be assessed and introduced to companies, and may do projects. Where a section applies to one and not the others, it says so.

If you were sent a link

You are not charged and you hold no account. Two things are asked of you.

Sit it yourself. Do not pass the link to somebody else to complete, do not have somebody else at the keyboard, and do not share the address it was sent to for the purpose of getting around the identity check.

Do not publish the material. The questions, the company, the data and the traps are reused with other candidates. Posting them anywhere public spoils the assessment for everybody who sits it after you, which is the one thing here that harms other candidates rather than us.

You may refuse. Declining to sit an assessment is a matter between you and the employer who asked, and we take no part in it.

You are welcome to describe your own experience of sitting it, including publicly and including critically. That is not the same as publishing the questions.

If you joined the talent pool

Joining is by invitation. An invitation is for the person it was sent to and can be used once.

One account per person. Do not open a second account under another address. Accounts that turn out to be the same person are merged or removed, and a fee paid on a duplicate is not refunded.

The fee. Nothing during early access. After that, the fee shown before you pay (₹99, or ₹49 with a member's invitation). It is refunded in full, to the account it came from, if you score 65% or more. A score is final once the assessment ends.

Sit it yourself, once. The rules for candidates above apply to you too: nobody else at the keyboard or in the room, and the questions are not to be published. You have one attempt unless we offer you another.

Camera on, one screen. The assessment keeps your camera on and takes a few still photos, as the privacy policy describes. Covering the camera, a frozen or fake picture, a second person or a second screen is noted for the Trial Day team to review. A note never changes your score on its own; a person decides, and may ask you about it.

What we do, and do not, promise. We interview members whose results are strong and introduce some of them to companies hiring. We do not promise an interview, an introduction or a job, and the hiring decision is always the company's. We never charge you for an introduction or a job.

Leaving. Ask us to delete your account at any time, as described in the privacy policy. We may close an account used to break these rules.

If you do a project

What it is. Practice at the work of an analyst, on a company that is simulated, built for you. Its people, numbers and events are made up. It is not a course with a qualification at the end, and finishing one does not promise an interview or a job.

Your work is yours. What you write, the code you write and the files you upload stay yours. You let us store them, review them, and show the parts you choose on your Track Record.

The company's data is ours. Use it for your project, in this service and in your own tools. Do not publish or share the data itself, because other analysts get companies built the same way. Your own code, charts and findings about it are yours to show.

Any tools, honestly. You may use any tool you would use at work, AI included, and you say how you used it. The three questions before a Track Record goes public are answered yourself, typed, without pasting.

What a Track Record says. It says what you did in the project, in the words of the automatic checks, and that you explained your work. It is marked verified only after you pass a proctored Trial Day assessment. Do not present it as more than that. We may take one down that breaks these terms.

Price. Nothing during early access. A price is shown so you know what it will cost later. If prices start, you will be told before you are asked to pay anything, and nothing you have already finished is taken away.

If you hold an account

Your account

Keep your sign-in credentials to yourself, and add colleagues as their own users rather than sharing one login. You are responsible for what is done through your account, and you should tell us promptly if you think somebody else has access to it.

How you may use results

A Trial Day result is evidence about one exercise on one day. It is a legitimate input to a hiring decision and it is not a decision.

You agree that you will not use a Trial Day score as the sole basis for rejecting a candidate. A human at your company reviews the report and decides.

The hiring decision is yours, and so is compliance with the employment law that governs it wherever you hire. Some jurisdictions place specific obligations on employers who use automated tools in hiring, including notice to candidates and independent bias auditing. Meeting those is your responsibility, and we will tell you plainly what the product does so that you can. See Security for what we can and cannot currently evidence.

What you may not do

What this assessment does not claim

There is no evidence yet that a Trial Day score predicts how well somebody will do the job. Establishing that takes a study running over a year with hiring outcomes attached, and it has not been done.

What can be said today is narrower and is meant literally. The scoring is deterministic and the same work always produces the same result. Every judgement on the report is traceable to something the candidate actually did. Where a comparison is shown against your own analysts, that comparison is exactly what it says it is.

We will not tell you the score is predictive until a study says so, and if a study says otherwise we will publish that too.

Accordingly, the service is provided without any warranty that it is fit for a particular hiring purpose, that it will identify the best candidate, or that a result correlates with future performance. Nothing on our marketing pages varies this section, and if the two ever appear to disagree, this section is what we meant.

Availability

We aim to keep the service running whenever a candidate might be sitting an assessment, and we do not offer a contractual uptime guarantee at this stage of the business. Pretending to one we cannot yet evidence would be the same mistake as the section above.

If an outage costs a candidate their time mid-sitting, tell us and we will restore the run or reissue the invitation without charging for it. Every decision is logged as it happens, so an interrupted sitting is recoverable rather than lost.

Fees, and getting your money back

Trial Day is sold in packs of assessments, listed with their prices on the pricing page. A pack is paid in advance, in US dollars unless the invoice says otherwise, and the assessments in it do not expire. There is no subscription: nothing renews or is charged again unless you buy another pack. More assessments can be added at your plan's own rate, and moving to a bigger plan costs the difference between the two. Prices may change for packs bought later, never for one you have already paid for.

If it is not working for you. Write to us within thirty days of buying a pack and we will look at it with you. Any refund is agreed case by case and goes back to the card or account that paid.

Taxes are your own where local law puts them on the buyer.

Ending it

You may stop using the service at any time and may ask for your data to be deleted, as described in the privacy policy.

We may suspend an account that is being used in a way this page prohibits, or that is threatening the service for other customers. Except where the problem is urgent, we will tell you what the issue is and give you a chance to fix it first. If we end your account for a reason that is not your breach, we refund the unused part of the term.

Who is liable for what

Nothing here limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that, our total liability arising out of the service is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for lost profits, lost opportunities, or the consequences of a hiring decision you made. That last one follows from the section on claims above: the decision is yours, made by a person at your company, on more evidence than this.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer rather than a business, this does not take away rights you have under the law of the country you live in.

Changes to these terms

The date at the top changes when the text does. For a change that materially reduces what you get, we will tell existing customers before it applies to them rather than relying on you noticing a new date.
