Terms of Service

Last updated: 22 August 2026

These terms govern use of Proven — the trial-shift hiring platform operated by Proven (“we”, “us”). By creating an employer account or taking a trial shift as a candidate, you agree to them. If you're using Proven on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company.

1. What Proven does

Proven lets employers design short simulated work sessions (“trial shifts”) for engineering candidates, run those sessions in the browser, and review AI-assisted evaluations of the results. Proven produces rankings and evidence; it never makes hiring decisions. Advancing or rejecting a candidate is always a decision made by a human at the employer.

2. Employer accounts

  • You're responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your sign-in email secure.
  • You confirm you have a lawful basis to invite candidates to a trial and to process the results as part of your recruitment process, and that your use complies with employment and data-protection law in the countries where you hire.
  • You must not use trial content to obtain free work: shifts are simulations built on synthetic codebases, not real production tasks.

3. Candidates

  • Taking a shift is voluntary and offered as part of an employer's recruitment process. One attempt per email address per trial.
  • Where a trial includes voice blocks, your audio is recorded and transcribed; where it includes coding blocks, your code, terminal activity and (if enabled) AI-assistant usage are captured. This material is shared with the hiring employer and used to produce your evaluation and feedback report. See the Privacy Policy for details and your rights.
  • Don't attempt to attack, probe, or misuse the trial environment, share trial content, or impersonate someone else.

4. Acceptable use

Don't misuse the service: no unlawful content, no attempts to breach or overload the platform or its sandboxes, no scraping other parties' data, no use of the service to discriminate unlawfully against candidates.

5. Intellectual property

We own the platform, including generated trial structures and synthetic codebases. Employers own their role descriptions and inputs. Candidates own the code and text they write during a shift, and grant us and the hiring employer a licence to store, process and evaluate it for recruitment purposes.

6. AI-generated content

Trials, teammate conversations, evaluations and feedback are produced with the assistance of large language models. They can be imperfect. Employers must treat evaluations as decision support — evidence to review, not verdicts to rubber-stamp.

7. Availability and changes

Proven is provided “as is” while in early access. We may change, suspend or discontinue features, and we'll give reasonable notice of material changes to these terms. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

8. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties and are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profits, or loss of data caused by events outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing affects a candidate's statutory rights.

9. Termination

Employers can stop using Proven at any time and request deletion of their data. We may suspend accounts that breach these terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
