It is also possible to subscribe to an “Enterprise” plan by contacting Our sales team ([email protected]). You cannot subscribe to an “Enterprise” plan directly online.

4.1 Free trial plan

You can create an Account by means of the “Free Trial” plan. In this case, it is not necessary to provide credit card details. If you choose this plan, We give you access to the CodinGame Screen features in “Free Trial” mode for a period of fourteen (14) consecutive days (hereinafter referred to as “Free Trial Period”). A natural or legal person is not allowed to open several Accounts in order to benefit from several Free Trial Periods. The Free Trial Period begins at the time of your registration on the Site. We reserve the right to end this period at any time. After this 14-day period, You will no longer be able to use the Service in “Free Trial” mode. If you wish to use the Service after the Free Trial Period, you will need to purchase one of the paid plans from your Account.

4.2 “Team”, “Business” and Growth plans

If You choose to subscribe to a “Team” or “Business” plan, you subscribe to a monthly or annual subscription that allows You to use a limited number of Tests during the subscription period. If You have subscribed to a “Growth” plan, this plan will no longer be available for annual subscription renewals effective June 1, 2022. In the case of a monthly subscription, the subscription starts on the date of payment and the commitment period ends one (1) month after that date. In the case of an annual subscription, the subscription starts on the date of payment and the commitment period ends one (1) year after that date. The date corresponding to the end of the commitment period is hereinafter referred to as the “Anniversary Date”. The renewal of the subscription is implicit and takes place on the Anniversary Date for the same commitment period. At any time You may decide to terminate your subscription from the Site, in which case You may continue to use your allowance of Tests without restriction until the end of the current commitment period, i.e. until the Anniversary Date of your subscription. Once the subscription is completed, You will no longer be able to invite Candidates. In the event of non-payment upon renewal, the subscription and access to the associated services will be automatically closed. If CodinGame deems that use is excessive and is not “fair use” of the service (for example, an excessive number of invitations compared to the use observed among other customers), CodinGame reserves the right to terminate the subscription on the Anniversary Date. In this case, the customer will be notified by email no less than one week before the Anniversary Date of their subscription.

Once the subscription is terminated and the commitment period is over, You will no longer be able to invite Candidates.  In the event of non-payment upon renewal, the subscription and access to the associated services will be automatically suspended.  If CodinGame deems that use of an “Enterprise” plan is excessive and is not “fair use” of the service (for example, an excessive number of invitations compared to the use observed among other customers), CodinGame reserves the right to terminate the subscription on the Anniversary Date. In this case, You will be notified by email no less than one week before the Anniversary Date of Your subscription.

The number of Tests available, the number of users allowed, company branding capabilities, the number of custom questions allowed, level of access to our question library, and the ability to have single-sign on and applicant tracking system integrations depend on the chosen plan as indicated on the price page at the address https://www.codingame.com/work/pricing/.

7. Payment terms

If you buy a paying plan, the Service can only be used after full payment of the price of the chosen plan. Paying plans take the form of monthly or annual subscriptions. All purchases are final and will not be refunded. By making a payment You confirm that (i) You accept this Agreement in its entirety (ii) You are authorized to use the payment method you have chosen, in particular in the case of payment by credit card or by SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) Direct Debit (iii) and that the funds associated with the payment method are sufficient to cover the cost of the chosen method.

7.1 Online payment

The “Team”, “Business” and “Enterprise” subscription plans can be paid for online, using a credit card or a SEPA Direct Debit. Payments are made via the secure remote payment module of our payment partner “Stripe”, integrated into the payment form made available on the Site.  To make your payment using a credit card, You will have to (i) fill in all the fields of the payment form (ii) enter a valid credit card (iii) validate the form to confirm your payment (by clicking on the button “BUY NOW”). The number of the credit card used and its expiry date are encrypted and transmitted to Stripe.  To make your payment by SEPA Direct Debit, You will need to provide Your bank details in the international format and sign a SEPA Direct Debit Mandate. This data is sent directly to Stripe and does not pass through Our servers. We do not store this data on Our servers. Stripe stores this data only as part of your subscription in order to be able to re-invoice automatically on the Anniversary Date of the subscription.  As soon as payment is triggered, Stripe debits from Your bank account.  If the debit fails, (i) You are informed by the Site (ii) access to the Services corresponding to the chosen plan is not activated.  If the debit is successful (i) You are informed by the Site (ii) You can access the corresponding invoice on the Site (iii) access to the Services corresponding to the chosen plan is activated.  The data recorded by Stripe at the time of payment constitutes proof of the financial transaction. As part of your subscription, on each Anniversary Date of the subscription, a new payment is triggered and Stripe debits Your bank account for the same amount as the first debit made as part of the subscription.  At any time, You can go to the Site to update the credit card that will be charged on the Anniversary Date. In the case of a subscription with payment by SEPA Direct Debit, at any time, You can go to the Site to modify Your bank details on which the direct debit will be made on the Anniversary Date.

7.2 Payment on quotation

If you do not wish to pay directly online without a quote, you can contact our sales team ([email protected]) to obtain a quote, accept this quote and pay the invoice associated with this quote either online or by bank transfer.  This service is available for any subscription with a minimum commitment period of one year. Access to the CodinGame Screen service will be effective on the date of acceptance of the quote, unless otherwise agreed between You and Us. In the event of total or partial non-payment despite the availability of an Account associated with a “Business” and “Enterprise” plan, CodinGame reserves the right to immediately close the said Account while implementing debt collection procedures. In particular, You can not claim that due to a lower than expected use of the CodinGame Screen Service You release Yourself from Your payment obligations and decide not to pay CodinGame the full price of your plan.

7.3 Limitations

You must provide valid, accurate and complete information when filling in the payment form. The entry of invalid information may lead to the closure of the Account without this closure giving You the rights to a refund.

7.4 Billing

On each payment, an invoice is issued and available from the Site. For subscription plans, the tacit renewal payment is made on the Anniversary Date. The corresponding invoice is issued as soon as payment is validated and is available from the Site.

8. Price review

We reserve the right to change prices at any time. Once You have subscribed to a subscription, the prices will remain unchanged until the end of the current commitment period or Anniversary Date. When You have subscribed to a subscription, we reserve the right, at the end of the subscription period, at the time of automatic renewal, either to keep the old prices or to apply the new prices. In the latter case, (i) you will be notified one month in advance of the price change, (ii) at the time of renewal, Your current subscription will be canceled and You will have to re-subscribe at the new price if you wish to continue using the Service after the change to the new price.
