Terms and conditions
Last updated 5 November 2026. These pages describe how the product works today.
These terms are an agreement between you and Potpally Vinay (“UntilSeen”, “we”, “us”). They apply to the website and everything in it. By creating an account, or by using UntilSeen on behalf of an organisation, you agree to these terms and to the privacy notice. If you do not agree, do not create an account. These terms are an electronic record under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and do not need a signature.
1. What UntilSeen is
UntilSeen is a first round for hiring: a profile you confirm, timed questions, and a short code task. It is not a job board, not a placement agency, not a background check, and not a promise that anyone will be interviewed or hired. Results describe one sitting against a fixed set of lines. There is no overall score or rank of a person. Hiring decisions are made by the employer, not by UntilSeen.
2. Who can use it
- You must be 18 or older and able to enter a binding contract under Indian law.
- If you use UntilSeen for an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms for it, and “you” includes that organisation.
- You may not use UntilSeen if we have previously suspended your account, or if the law prevents you from doing so.
3. Your account
- Use your own email and real details. One person, one account.
- Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens in your account until you tell us it was misused.
- Tell us straight away through the request form if you think someone else has used your account.
4. If you are looking for a job
- What you put in your profile must be true and yours. A resume only suggests values; you check and confirm them before they are used.
- Your profile, questions, and code stay private until you confirm your profile while in the pool, or share with a company that invited you. In the pool, they are shared with every company that shortlists you, as section 6 explains.
- In the code task, the AI assistant is allowed. Every prompt and reply is logged and shown to any company you share with. We judge understanding, not whether you used AI. Submitting someone else’s work as yours, having someone sit for you, or sharing the questions or tasks with others is not allowed.
- Timing, leaving the page, and large pasted blocks are noted as signals for the interview. They are never used on their own to reject you.
- Your first sitting, and one sitting every 30 days after that, are free. When we offer early retakes, you can buy an optional one for ₹299, all taxes included, to sit again before your free date. Early retakes are not on sale at the moment. A retake does not move your free date and does not guarantee a shortlist or a job. Recruiters see your best sitting from the last 6 months and how many sittings it is the best of. Older sittings stay in your account but no longer count.
- We never charge you to look for a job, to take your free sittings, or to be shared with a company.
5. If a company invited you
- A company can invite people who applied to it. You sign up the same way as everyone else and take the same questions and code task.
- Accepting an invite shares your name, contact details, profile, and results with that one company, for that one role. Declining or ignoring it shares nothing, and the invite expires after 30 days.
- Accepting an invite shares you with that one company only. It does not change whether you are in the pool. You can pause the pool at any time from your profile.
6. The pool
- Being found by companies is what UntilSeen is for, so when you sign up to look for a job you are in the pool. You are added only once your profile is confirmed, and you can turn it off at any time. If you signed up before 30 September 2026 and did not join the pool, you stay out of it until you turn it on.
- While you are in the pool, you agree that your profile is shared with every company and recruiter that shortlists you for a matching role. That means your name, skills, years of experience, location, current and expected CTC, notice period, a short brief from your resume, question results, code, and AI chat log. Your email, phone, links, and resume file are shared with a company only after you tell it you are interested. Each company may use what it sees only to consider you for that role.
- A company that shortlists you may ask, with the job description, if you are interested; we send that email for it. The request appears under Interest requests on your home page. Answer I'm interested or Not for me; Not for me stops that company seeing your details for the role, and you can change your answer while the role is open. You can see every company with access, and remove any of them, on your Privacy page. What a company already downloaded stays with it, under its own obligations.
- If you joined the pool before 29 September 2026, companies do not see you until you agree to the sharing above from your profile.
- You can pause the pool from your profile at any time. Pausing takes you off every company’s shortlist and stops sharing with them straight away. Roles you applied to through an invite are not affected. Pausing takes one click and does not undo what was shared before.
7. If you are hiring
By creating an organisation, you agree on its behalf that:
- Your organisation and every role you post are real, lawful, and yours to fill. You hire into your own organisation: recruitment agencies, staffing firms and consultancies cannot post roles for their clients at the moment. Each company has one account, matched by email domain. Personal inboxes such as Gmail each get their own account. Looking for a job and recruiting need two different emails.
- You use candidate data only to consider that person for the role they were shortlisted for, or applied to, on UntilSeen.
- You do not copy, sell, publish, or pass on candidate data, or add it to another database, except to people in your organisation who need it for that hiring.
- You do not reject, rank, or treat anyone differently because of gender, age, caste, religion, marital status, disability, pregnancy, place of origin, or similar grounds, and you do not put such requirements in a role. Roles that do are refused.
- You treat integrity signals as questions for the interview, not as reasons to reject someone.
- You mark an offer as accepted only after the candidate has accepted it, and you correct it straight away if it changes.
- You understand that results show a candidate’s best sitting from the last 6 months. Candidates may sit again, free every 30 days or earlier as a paid retake, and the card says how many sittings the result is the best of.
- When you invite your own applicants, you confirm they applied to you for that role, that you collected their email lawfully, and that you may share it with us to invite them. UntilSeen emails each person on your behalf, with at most two reminders.
- For engineers matched from the pool, you see their contact details only after they say yes to your role. You do not try to find or contact them another way before that, and you do not open extra accounts or free roles to get around your plan’s limits.
- You never ask a candidate for money, deposits, or payment for training, equipment, or placement, and you do not use UntilSeen to recruit for jobs outside India.
- You follow the labour and employment laws that apply to your hiring.
- Once a candidate shares with you, you are a separate Data Fiduciary for that data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023: keep it secure, honour their requests, and delete it when you no longer need it for that hiring.
- You keep the questions, tasks, and candidates' results confidential and use them only for that hiring.
- Outcome feedback you give is used only to improve matches for your own organisation.
8. What you must not do
You must not upload, post, send, or share anything that:
- belongs to another person and you have no right to share;
- is obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, invasive of another person’s privacy, insulting or harassing on the basis of gender, or racially or ethnically objectionable;
- is harmful to a child, or promotes money laundering or gambling;
- infringes a patent, trademark, copyright, or other proprietary right;
- deceives or misleads about where it came from, or knowingly spreads false or misleading information;
- impersonates another person;
- threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security, or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with other countries, or public order, or incites an offence;
- contains a virus or any code meant to disrupt, damage, or limit any computer resource; or
- breaks any law in force.
You must also not:
- get into another account, test our security without written permission, or get round limits we put in place;
- scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or copy data or content, or build a competing database from it;
- copy, reverse engineer, or resell any part of UntilSeen;
- post fake roles, collect data for anything other than the hiring described, spam people, or harass anyone.
We may remove content or restrict an account that breaks this section, and where the law requires, we keep records and report to authorities. We will tell you why unless the law or an investigation prevents it.
9. Your content and ours
- You keep ownership of what you submit: your resume, profile, answers, and code. You let us store, process, and show it only as the privacy notice describes, only to run UntilSeen for you, and only for as long as we keep it under that notice.
- UntilSeen itself, including the questions, code tasks, rubrics, design, and software, belongs to us or our licensors. You may use it only as these terms allow. Nothing here transfers any of it to you.
- If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without owing you anything.
10. AI features
Some features use an AI model: the assistant in the code task, question drafts, and matching. AI output can be wrong. Matches are for a person to read, not decisions. No one is accepted or rejected by UntilSeen automatically.
11. Fees
- Engineers never pay to look for work, take their free sittings, or be shared with a company. The only fee is the optional early retake (section 4): ₹299, all taxes included, shown before you pay.
- Employers can start with one free role and up to 30 invited candidates, with no card. One free role per company. After that, employers choose a paid plan to open more roles. Plans, limits and prices are on the pricing page.
- Employer prices are in Indian rupees and exclude GST, which is added where applicable and shown on the invoice. A plan starts when we confirm payment and runs for the period shown: a year, a quarter (92 days), or 60 days for a single role. Plans do not renew or charge you automatically.
- India Launch Offer. Where the pricing page shows an India Launch Offer price next to a struck-out regular price, that price applies to the plan you buy while it is shown. After that, the regular price on the pricing page applies, and we renew a plan only after you agree to its price.
- Enterprise. The price, limits and period are agreed with you in writing before you pay. Everything else in these terms applies.
- We may change prices for new plans. A plan you have already paid for keeps its price and limits until it ends. Unused roles or invites do not carry over to a new plan.
- Online payments are handled by Zoho Payment Technologies Private Limited; we never see or store your card, UPI, or bank details. Employers may also pay against our invoice by bank transfer or UPI. No one is charged without agreeing first.
See the refund policy.
12. Suspension and ending use
- You can stop at any time and erase your account from your UntilSeen home.
- We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or the law, or that puts other users at risk. Where the law allows, we tell you why first and give you a chance to respond.
- UntilSeen can change or stop. If it stops, we give reasonable notice and erase data as the privacy notice says.
- Sections 9, 13, 14, 15, 17, and 18 continue after your account ends.
13. No guarantees
UntilSeen is provided as it is and as available. We work to keep it accurate, secure, and running, but we do not promise it will always be available or error free. We do not verify every detail a candidate or employer gives, and we do not guarantee any interview, offer, hire, or candidate. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under Indian law, including the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, that cannot be limited.
14. Limits on liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profits, lost opportunities, or lost data you could have kept elsewhere. Our total liability to you for any claim about UntilSeen is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or ₹5,000 if you paid nothing. These limits do not apply to loss caused by our fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct, or to anything the law does not allow us to limit.
15. Responsibility for misuse
If you or your organisation break section 7 or section 8, or misuse candidate data, you will cover the reasonable losses, fines, and legal costs that we or the affected people suffer as a result.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top is the version you are reading. For a change that affects your rights, we tell you by email or in the product at least 15 days before it applies. If a change affects a consent you gave, we ask you again instead of assuming it. If you do not agree to a change, you can stop using UntilSeen and erase your account.
17. Complaints and grievances
Our Grievance Officer is Potpally Vinay. Email grievance@untilseen.com, or use the request form and choose “Grievance”. We acknowledge within 24 hours and resolve within 15 days. Content that shows a person’s private area, nudity, or a sexual act, or that impersonates them, is taken down within 24 hours of a complaint. For data protection complaints you may also go to the Data Protection Board of India.
18. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Please raise any dispute with the Grievance Officer first; most can be settled there. If not, the courts at the place of our registered office have jurisdiction, without affecting any right you have to go to a consumer commission or another forum the law gives you.
19. General
- These terms, the privacy notice, and the policies linked from them are the whole agreement between you and us about UntilSeen.
- If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies.
- If we do not enforce a term straight away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.
- You may not transfer your account or these terms. We may transfer them to a successor running UntilSeen, and we will tell you if that happens.
- We are not responsible for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages of networks or providers, natural disasters, or government action.
- We send notices by email to the address on your account or in the product. You can reach us through the request form.
