Terms of service

What the service does, what it costs, what you are responsible for, and what we are.

Last updated 5 August 2026

This agreement

These terms are between you and Alberich Labs LLC, 418 Broadway, Ste N, Albany, NY 12207, which operates codetest.dev. By creating an account you agree to them.

"We" and "us" below mean Alberich Labs LLC. "codetest.dev" means the service.

They apply to customers — the people who sign up and run assessments. Candidates do not enter into this agreement; what they are told, and agree to, is shown to them before an assessment begins.

What the service is

codetest.dev lets you run technical interviews: live sessions in a shared editor, take-home assessments and multi-candidate challenges. Candidate code runs in the browser; hidden tests run on our side after a candidate submits.

Take-home assessments are unproctored. We surface paste and tab-switch activity to the reviewer; we do not confirm who sat the assessment, and you should not treat a result as if we had.

Your account

Keep your credentials to yourself, and tell us if you think someone else has them. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for the people you invite into your organisation.

An organisation always has at least one owner. Owners can invite and remove members, change roles, and archive the organisation.

Candidate data is yours, and so is the responsibility

When you invite a candidate you decide what is collected about them and why. You are the controller of that data; Alberich Labs LLC processes it on your instructions, and on no one else's. That makes you responsible for having a lawful reason to collect it, and for handling requests candidates make about their own data.

We give candidates a route to reach you with such a request, and we will help you service it. We will not act on a candidate's request to erase or export their work without your instruction, except where the law requires us to.

We do not sell your data or your candidates' data, and we do not use it to train models.

What you may not do

Do not use the service to break the law, to attack or overload our systems or anyone else's, to run code intended to escape the sandbox it is given, or to assess people without telling them they are being assessed.

We may suspend an account that is doing any of these, and will tell you why.

Paying for it

codetest.dev costs $20 a month, flat, for an organisation — however many people you invite, however many assessments you run. Every account starts with a 14-day trial and no card.

Subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe and renew until you cancel. You can cancel at any time and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. We do not refund part-months.

If the price changes we will tell you at least 30 days before it applies to you.

Availability

We work to keep the service up and will give notice of planned maintenance where we can, but we do not offer a guaranteed uptime level and the service is provided as it is.

Ending it

You can close your account at any time from Settings; what happens to your data then is described in the privacy policy. We may end this agreement if you break these terms, or with reasonable notice if we stop offering the service — in which case we will give you a way to export what is yours first.

Liability

The service is provided as it is, and as it is available. We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or free of faults, or that it will suit a particular purpose you have in mind, and to the fullest extent the law allows we exclude the warranties that would otherwise be implied — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Our total liability to you, for everything arising out of or relating to these terms or the service, is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the event you are claiming about. If you have paid us nothing in that period — during the trial, for instance — that limit is nothing. Neither of us is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business or lost data, even if the possibility was known.

Those limits do not apply to what you owe us in fees, to either side's fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, to death or personal injury caused by negligence, to gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or to anything that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. Where a limit above is not enforceable, it applies to the greatest extent that it is.

And one thing we will say plainly regardless of how that clause reads: hiring decisions are yours. Nothing the product shows you is a judgement about a person, and we are not responsible for the decisions you make with it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to them, or to the service, will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York, and both you and Alberich Labs LLC agree to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change materially we will email you before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that is acceptance of the new version.
