Terms for paid plans

1. Scope and who we are

These terms apply to all paid plans on agentsbyjob.com ("AgentsByJob", "we", "us"). AgentsByJob is operated by [FULL NAME], [STREET ADDRESS], [POSTCODE CITY], Switzerland, as a sole proprietorship ([UID/VAT NUMBER if any]). "You" means the business that buys a plan. Free listings and general use of the website are covered by the terms of use in the imprint. How we handle personal data is described in our privacy policy.

These terms apply in place of any terms of your own, even if you refer to them in an order or purchase order. Any departures from these terms must be agreed in writing (email is enough).

2. Business customers only

Paid plans are sold only to businesses. By completing a purchase you confirm that you are acting for a company, organisation or self-employed business, not as a consumer, and that you are authorised to bind that business. Consumer protection rules that apply only to consumers, such as a statutory right of withdrawal for distance contracts, therefore do not apply. Visitors who use the directory never pay us.

3. Plans and what they include

The current prices and features are shown on the pricing page and at checkout. In summary:

3.1 Verified listing: USD 149, one-time

• A hands-on test of your product using our standard task script for the relevant job category. We record setup time, task success rate, cost per run and screenshots.
• A "Verified" badge on your profile (plus an embeddable badge) and a setup guide on your profile.
• One retest within 12 months of the first report, if you request it, for example after a product update.
• You must provide the access we reasonably need (such as a trial, sandbox or test account). If we cannot get working access within 30 days of your order, despite asking you for it, we may complete the report with what we were able to test, or cancel the order under section 8.
• Results are published as they are, including unfavourable ones. The badge and results relate to the product version tested on the date shown. We may remove the badge if the product changes materially or the results no longer hold.

3.2 Featured job slot: USD 99 per month

• Top-of-page placement in one job category, plus rotation on the home page. Placements are labelled "Featured".
• A maximum of 3 Featured slots per job category. If no slot is available, we will not charge you or will refund you in full.
• Recurring monthly subscription. You can cancel at any time (see section 7).
• We decide the order, design and rotation of placements. We do not guarantee any particular number of views, clicks or leads.

3.3 Sponsored comparison or use case page: USD 490, one-time

• One evergreen comparison page or Use Case Library page, clearly labelled "Sponsored".
• We agree the topic with you, and we write and publish the page. You can propose a topic and suggest factual corrections. However, facts, test scores, rankings and verdicts stay editorially independent (section 4), and the page may cover competing products.
• "Evergreen" means the page stays online for as long as we operate the directory, and for at least 12 months after publication. We may update it to keep it accurate.

3.4 Agency partner: USD 149 per month

• A partner profile and routing of implementation requests ("leads") for 1 job category in 1 region.
• Recurring monthly subscription. You can cancel at any time (see section 7).
• We do not guarantee the number, quality or conversion of leads. You handle leads under applicable data protection law as an independent controller, and you may use them only to respond to the request.

4. Editorial independence and labelling

• Payment never buys a favourable verdict. No plan changes facts, test results, scores, rankings or comparison verdicts. Nor does it buy positive wording or the removal of accurate criticism.
• All paid placements are clearly labelled, for example "Sponsored", "Featured" or "Partner".
• A Verified test can lead to an unfavourable result. That is not a reason for a refund.
• You may point out factual errors at any time, and we will correct confirmed errors promptly. Corrections are free.

5. Your content and our right to refuse or remove listings

You confirm that the information, names, logos and materials you give us are accurate and that you have the right to let us use them. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, edit, format and publish them on AgentsByJob and in related promotion for as long as the listing is online. You must not make misleading or unlawful claims, and you must not use the Verified badge for a product other than the one we tested or after the badge has been removed.

We may refuse an order or a listing, or remove a listing or placement, at our reasonable discretion. This applies in particular if the product is unlawful, deceptive or harmful, if it does not fit the directory, if information is false, or if you breach these terms. If we reject a listing before delivering the plan, we refund you in full (section 8).

6. Ordering and contract formation

You order through the submit form and pay through Stripe's hosted Checkout. The contract is formed when your payment succeeds, subject to our review of your submission. We normally review submissions and get in touch within 2 business days. Stripe sends you a receipt or invoice by email.

7. Prices, VAT and billing

• Currency and VAT. Prices are in US dollars (USD) and exclude VAT and other taxes. We are currently not registered for Swiss VAT, because our turnover is below the registration threshold, so no Swiss VAT is charged at the moment. If we become liable for VAT, or VAT otherwise applies, we will add it at the applicable rate. For monthly plans, we will tell you before the first renewal it applies to. If you are outside Switzerland, you are responsible for any VAT, reverse-charge or other taxes that apply in your country.
• One-time plans (Verified listing, Sponsored page) are charged in full, upfront, at checkout.
• Monthly plans (Featured job slot, Agency partner) are charged upfront for each monthly period and renew automatically each month until cancelled. They are charged to the payment method you used at checkout.
• Cancelling monthly plans. You can cancel at any time by emailing [CONTACT EMAIL] or through any billing link Stripe provides. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. Your placement stays live until then, and you will not be charged again.
• Price changes for monthly plans take effect from the next billing period. We will tell you by email at least 30 days in advance, and you can cancel before the change takes effect.
• Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails and is not settled within 14 days, we may pause or end the placement.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details.

8. Refunds and cancellation

• Verified listing. We will tell you by email when the test starts. If you cancel before then, we refund you in full. After the test has started, we refund you only if we cannot deliver the report for reasons on our side. Once the report has been delivered, no refund is due. An unfavourable result is not a reason for a refund. If we cancel the order before the test starts because we could not get working access (section 3.1), we refund you in full.
• Sponsored page. Full refund if you cancel before the page is published. No refund after publication.
• Monthly plans. You can cancel at any time, with effect at the end of the current paid period. We do not refund partial months or unused time.
• Rejection by us. If we reject your listing or order, or cannot provide the plan (for example because no Featured slot is available), we refund the full amount paid for it.
• Removal for breach. If we remove a listing or placement because you breached these terms or gave us false information, no refund is due for the current period or for work already done.
• How refunds are paid. Refunds go back to the original payment method through Stripe, normally within 10 business days of approval. We refund the amount you paid in USD. We are not responsible for currency conversion differences or charges from your bank.
• To request a refund or cancel, email [CONTACT EMAIL] with your submission reference. Please contact us before opening a chargeback, so we can try to resolve the issue.

9. Warranties and limitation of liability

We provide our services with reasonable care. We do not guarantee any particular traffic, ranking, visibility, number of leads or business results. The directory relies on third-party information and may contain errors. Test results reflect the product version and conditions on the test date.

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from or relating to a paid plan is limited to the amount you paid us for that plan in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damage, lost profits, lost revenue or lost data. These limits do not apply to liability for intent or gross negligence, or to any other liability that cannot be limited under mandatory Swiss law (in particular Art. 100 of the Swiss Code of Obligations). We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages at hosting or payment providers.

You are responsible for the content you give us. You will indemnify us against third-party claims arising from that content, such as claims of infringement or misleading advertising.

10. Changes, governing law and jurisdiction

We may change these terms in the future. Changes apply to new orders from the date they are published on this page. For running monthly plans, they apply from the next billing period after we have notified you by email at least 30 days in advance. You can cancel before they take effect.

If any provision is invalid, the rest of these terms remains in force. These terms and any contract under them are governed by Swiss law, excluding conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The exclusive place of jurisdiction is the operator's seat in [POSTCODE CITY], Canton of [CANTON], Switzerland. We may also bring proceedings at your registered seat.
