Terms of service.

These terms apply to companies that book sessions. A signed order form or retainer agreement, where one exists, takes precedence.

01 · the service

Onsite Round provides in-person technical working sessions with a candidate you designate, run by a senior engineer, followed by a written evidence report. The report contains structured observations against a rubric agreed with you at onboarding. It does not contain, and must not be represented as, a recommendation to hire or not to hire.

02 · your responsibilities
  • You are the employer or its authorized agent, and you have told the candidate that a third party will run this stage.
  • You make all employment decisions. You are responsible for how the report is used, including compliance with employment and anti-discrimination law in your jurisdiction.
  • You provide accurate candidate details, and you tell us about accommodation requests you receive so that we can honor them.
  • You do not share a report outside your hiring process or with any other company.
03 · our responsibilities
  • We run every session on the fixed assessment spine and rubric agreed at onboarding, and we deliver the report within 24 hours of the session ending.
  • We keep your information and your candidates' information confidential as described in the privacy policy.
  • We tell you promptly if a session cannot run as scheduled, and we do not charge for sessions we cancel.
04 · fees

The rates on the pricing page at the time of booking apply, including surcharges and the no-show and rescheduling terms listed there. Onboarding is due at signing. Sessions are invoiced net 15. Retainers are billed on the first of the month in advance. Rates for an existing agreement do not change for 12 months from signing.

05 · limits

The report is a professional observation of one session. We do not warrant that a candidate will perform in the role, and we are not liable for hiring decisions or their outcomes. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees paid for the session concerned. Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss.

06 · ending the relationship

Per-session clients can stop at any time. Retainers have a three-month minimum, then run month to month with 30 days written notice. Either party can end the relationship immediately for a material breach that is not fixed within 14 days of notice. Session records are handled after termination as described in the privacy policy.

07 · the legal part

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Disputes go first to a conversation, then to mediation in San Francisco, then to the courts of San Francisco County. Questions: hello@onsiteround.com.
