Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2026

Before you publish: replace [LEGAL ENTITY] and [REGISTERED ADDRESS] below with your registered business name and address, and confirm Sweden is the right governing law for your setup. A policy that names no legal entity is hard to enforce and looks unfinished to a business buyer. These documents are written in plain language and follow common practice, but they are not legal advice: have a lawyer read them before you rely on them, especially the DPA.

Who you are agreeing with

Meritan is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY], [REGISTERED ADDRESS], Sweden. These terms apply when you create an organisation, run an interview, or otherwise use the service. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you may bind that company.

The service

Meritan runs live coding interviews in the browser. Sessions are recorded as periodic snapshots so they can be replayed, and integrity signals such as blocked pastes and focus changes are logged alongside them. Code written in an interview runs in the browser, not on our servers.

Your responsibilities as a hiring team

Candidates and recordings

Candidates are shown what is recorded and must consent before anything is captured. You are the data controller for the candidate data your interviews produce; we process it on your behalf under the Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of these terms. You agree to give candidates the information privacy law requires, including who you are and how long you will keep their data.

Integrity signals are evidence for a human to weigh, not proof of cheating. You agree not to treat a signal as an automated decision about a person. Under GDPR Article 22, decisions with legal or similarly significant effects should not be made by automated processing alone, and Meritan is not built to make them.

Your content

Your questions, templates, scorecards and notes remain yours. You grant us only the permission needed to store, display and sync them so the product works. We claim no ownership, and we do not use your content or your candidates’ code to train models.

Plans and billing

Availability

We work to keep Meritan running and we monitor it, but it is provided “as is” without warranties. We may change, suspend or discontinue features; where a change materially reduces what you are paying for, we will give reasonable notice. Business plans may carry a separate service level agreement, which prevails over this section if you have one.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using Meritan and delete your organisation at any time. We may suspend an account that breaches these terms, is used unlawfully, or endangers the service or other users. Where it is safe and lawful to do so, we will warn you first and give you a chance to fix it.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability in any 12-month period is limited to what you paid us in that period. Hiring decisions, and their consequences, remain entirely yours. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Swedish law, and disputes belong to the Swedish courts. If you are a consumer rather than a business, this does not deprive you of the protections of your local law.

Changes

We may update these terms. For material changes we will give notice in the product or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use Meritan afterwards means you accept the new version.
