Refund Policy

Last updated: 25 July 2026

Strata is free to explore: building workflows and designing assessments costs nothing. Fees apply only to candidate-node consumption. This policy outlines when refunds may be requested and how they are processed.

01

General Policy

You pay per candidate-node consumed: a charge occurs only when a candidate actually starts a stage of an assessment, priced by tier. There are no seat fees for designing workflows, and no charge for stages a candidate never starts. This policy applies to those consumption charges and to any prepaid capacity.

02

Consumed Candidate-Nodes

Once a candidate starts a stage, the node is consumed: the assessment runs, the capture happens, and the scored report is produced. Consumed nodes are therefore not refundable, including when:

  • The candidate abandons the stage after starting it
  • The candidate is disqualified for violating the Code of Conduct or Terms of Service
  • You disagree with a score or recommendation; the human review and override path exists for that
03

Platform Failures

If a platform failure on our side prevents an assessment stage from completing, that node is not charged; if it was already charged, it is credited back. Reported failures are verified against our session logs.

04

Prepaid Capacity

Unused, prepaid candidate-node capacity is refundable on request. If Strata discontinues a service you prepaid for, unused capacity is refunded in full. Approved refunds are processed within 7 to 10 business days to the original payment method.

05

How to Request a Refund

  • Email sameera@stratahire.ai or sai@stratahire.aiwith the subject line “Refund Request”
  • Write from your account email and include the invoice or assessment in question
  • We aim to respond within 3 business days
