You will receive confirmation of sign-up and, where applicable, of trial-to-paid conversion and subsequent renewals. The acknowledgment will include your plan, price, billing cadence, next charge date, and how to cancel.
5.5 How to Cancel
You may cancel at any time through Account → Billing → Cancel (or via any cancellation path we provide in the Service).
- Trials: If you cancel before the trial ends, no paid subscription begins and no recurring charges occur.
- Subscriptions: Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing cycle; you will retain access until that time.
5.6 Optional Post-Purchase Offers
From time to time, we may present optional add-ons (e.g., the Detailed Report) after your initial purchase. We will clearly disclose the price and material terms and obtain your express consent before charging for any add-on.

IQBooster is a premium service exclusively available to clients who have completed an assessment on https://16persons.com/. Charges will appear as follows, depending on payment method:
- Card payments (e.g., Visa/Mastercard): “16Persons.”
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- THE SITE AND THE TESTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE SOLELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR PROFESSIONAL DIAGNOSTICS, ANALYSIS, OR CONSULTATION.
- TEST RESULTS MAY VARY DEPENDING ON EACH EXAMINEE’S CHARACTERISTICS, THE TYPE OF TEST EMPLOYED, AND EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES (E.G., FATIGUE).
- ANY RELIANCE ON TEST RESULTS (INCLUDING CERTIFICATES) IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
- ANY CERTIFICATE WE ISSUE ATTESTS ONLY TO COMPLETION OF THE APPLICABLE TEST AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A STANDARDIZED OR PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION.
6. Consideration
Certain features of the Site, as well as certain services provided via the Site, may be subject to the payment of fees as specified on the Site from time to time at the Company’s discretion (the “Consideration”). Fee changes apply prospectively. For Subscriptions, any change to price or billing cadence will be communicated and take effect in accordance with Section 7 (Billing & Cancellation).
If you fail to pay the Consideration, or if your payment method is invalid or declined, and you do not promptly update payment information upon our request, we may suspend or cancel your access to the applicable services. Where permitted by your payment network, you authorize us to obtain updated card details through account updater services to try to complete transactions you have authorized.
Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, our charges may include VAT (where applicable) but exclude other taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments (e.g., sales/use/consumption or withholding taxes) that may be imposed by any local, state, provincial, national, or foreign jurisdiction. We will add or invoice such taxes where we believe we have a legal obligation to do so.
Payment Processing. Payments of the Consideration are processed via certain online payment service providers, such as Stripe, SolidGate, PayPal, or others (collectively, “Online Payment Processors”). We may add or change Online Payment Processors at our sole discretion. The Online Payment Processors enable you to pay securely online using a credit card, debit card, bank account, or a supported wallet. We do not control and are not affiliated with such Online Payment Processors; they are independent contractors and are not our agents or employees. Your use of Online Payment Processors is at your own risk and is subject to their terms. This Section does not limit any rights you may have under applicable law.
Currency & Bank Fees. Charges are shown at checkout in the currency indicated there. Your bank or payment provider may apply foreign exchange rates, fees, or holds that we do not control.
7. Billing & Cancellation
7.1 Billing Cycles & Renewal
Subscription-based services (including IQBooster) auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle—monthly or every 4 weeks—until canceled. Your active plan, billing interval, and next charge date are shown at checkout and/or in your Account.
7.2 Trials & Promotional Periods
Some plans may begin with a trial (e.g., 7 days) or promotional period. Unless you cancel before the trial or promotional period ends, the plan automatically converts to a paid subscription at the standard rate and cadence disclosed at checkout, and recurring charges apply until canceled.
7.3 How to Cancel
You may cancel at any time using either method below:
- Self-serve: IQBooster → Settings → Billing → Cancel.
- Support: email [email protected] or [email protected] from the address linked to your Account.
7.4 Effective Date of Cancellation
Cancellation is effective at the end of the then-current billing cycle. You will retain access through that date. Cancellation stops future auto-renewals; it does not backdate or shorten the current cycle.
7.5 Plan & Price Changes
We may change plans, features, cadence, or pricing prospectively. If a change affects your active subscription, we will notify you in advance using the contact details on your Account. If you do not agree to the change, you may cancel before it takes effect; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
7.6 Failed Payments
If a charge cannot be processed, we may retry, ask you to update your payment method, and suspend or limit access until payment is completed. Where supported by your network, you authorize us to use card account updater services to obtain updated card details to complete authorized transactions.
7.7 Invoices & Billing Information
You can view invoices/receipts and update payment details in your Account. Billing descriptors appear as stated in Section 5.7 (Legal Notice).
8. Payments & Refunds
8.1 Payment Authorization
You may purchase certain features of the Service for a fee (“Purchase”). By completing a Purchase (including starting a trial that converts to paid or enrolling in a recurring plan), you authorize us to charge the applicable fees, taxes, and any disclosed charges to the payment method you provide, on a one-time or recurring basis as described at checkout and in Section 7 (Billing & Cancellation). Billing descriptors appear as stated in Section 5.7 (Legal Notice).
8.2 General Refund Rule
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Purchases made via the Website are non-refundable and non-exchangeable once the digital content has been delivered or made available (e.g., Personality results, detailed report, or access to IQBooster), unless otherwise specified in these Terms or required by law. We do not provide pro-rata refunds for subscription periods already in progress (see Section 7 for cancellation timing).
8.3 Country/Region-Specific Rights.
The foregoing does not limit any mandatory rights you may have under local law. Without limitation:
- Japan (Consumer Contract Act; APPI). One-time digital items are non-refundable once delivered, unless required by law (e.g., verified defect or failure to provide access). For subscriptions, users may request a refund/cancellation within eight (8) days of purchase if the service has not been used/accessed. If access was provided/used, refunds for subscriptions are generally available only where the service was defective or access not properly provided, subject to applicable law and these Terms.
- South Korea (Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce). One-time digital items are non-refundable once delivered, unless required by law (e.g., verified defect or failure to provide access). For subscriptions, users may cancel within seven (7) days of the transaction unless the service has been accessed. If digital content has been provided/accessed, subscription refunds may not be available unless the service was defective or unavailable.
- European Union (Consumer Rights Directive). One-time digital items are non-refundable once delivered or made available if you expressly consented to immediate performance and acknowledged losing the right of withdrawal upon delivery (which is obtained at checkout); this does not affect your rights where required by law (e.g., non-delivery/defect). For subscriptions, EU residents have a 14-day right to withdraw from the service agreement unless the service has been fully performed during that period with your express request/consent; where you withdraw, we may deduct an amount proportionate to the service provided up to the time of withdrawal, as permitted by law.
- United States. Fees for digital items (e.g., Personality results, detailed reports) and subscription periods already elapsed are non-refundable, unless required by law (for example, where the service was not delivered after successful payment, or in case of a duplicate/erroneous charge that we verify). Cancellation stops future renewals and does not trigger a refund for the current cycle (see Section 7).
8.4 Chargebacks & Disputes.
If you initiate a chargeback, we may suspend or terminate access to the Service pending resolution. We reserve the right to provide transaction records and delivery logs to your payment provider to demonstrate authorization and delivery. This does not limit any rights you may have under applicable law.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH CASES, THE EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, OR CONTRACTORS (COLLECTIVELY, “COMPANY REPRESENTATIVES”) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT—NEGLIGENCE INCLUDED—STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH: (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SITE, THE TESTS, THE SERVICE, OR ANY CONTENT OR DIGITAL ITEMS; (B) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; (C) ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES (INCLUDING PAYMENT PROCESSORS); OR (D) THESE TERMS.

(v) any fraud, payment/chargeback abuse, or other wrongful act or omission by you.
Procedure. The Company will provide you with prompt written notice of any claim for which indemnity is sought (provided that failure to give prompt notice will not relieve you of your obligations except to the extent materially prejudiced). The Company will have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense with counsel of its choice, and you will not settle any claim without the Company’s prior written consent if such settlement (a) imposes any obligation on a Company Party, (b) admits fault or wrongdoing on behalf of a Company Party, or (c) fails to include a full, unconditional release of the Company Parties. Subject to the foregoing, you will control the defense of the claim with qualified counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and will cooperate with the Company Parties in good faith.
Exclusions. Your indemnity obligations do not apply to the extent a claim results from the Company’s willful misconduct or fraud. Nothing in this Section limits any other remedies available to the Company Parties.
14. Dispute Resolution
14.1 Informal Resolution Requirement.
Before initiating formal proceedings, you agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a “Dispute”) through good-faith negotiations. Please email [email protected] with the subject line “Notice of Dispute,” and include your name, the email associated with your Account, a description of the Dispute, and the specific relief sought. If the Dispute is not resolved within 60 days after our receipt of your Notice of Dispute, either party may proceed as set out below.
14.2 U.S. Arbitration (if you reside in the United States or bring a claim in the United States).
Except for the matters described in Sections 14.4 and 14.5, any Dispute will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitrator may award all remedies available in court, subject to these Terms.
- Governing law. This arbitration agreement and any arbitration will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) governs the interpretation and enforceability of this Section to the extent it would otherwise apply.
- Location & format. Hearings may be conducted by video conference or, if an in-person hearing is held, in New Castle County, Delaware, unless we agree otherwise.
- Fees. AAA rules govern payment of filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees. Where required by the AAA Consumer Rules or applicable law, we will pay or reimburse fees to ensure the arbitration remains cost-effective for consumers.
- Class/representative action waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, claims must be brought in an individual capacity only, not as a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person or preside over any class or representative proceeding.
- Small-claims option. Either party may bring an eligible claim in small-claims court in New Castle County, Delaware, or in your county of residence, rather than in arbitration.
- 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] with the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” within 30 days of the date you first accepted these Terms. Include your name and the email associated with your Account. If you opt out, Section 14.2 will not apply, but the rest of this Section 14 remains in effect.
14.3 Non-U.S. Disputes.
If you do not reside in the United States and do not bring a claim in the United States, then — subject to any non-waivable consumer rights under the law of your country of residence — these Terms are governed by the laws of Cyprus , and any Dispute shall be brought in the courts of Larnaсa, Cyprus . You and the Company consent to that jurisdiction and venue and waive objections based on inconvenient forum, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
14.4 Injunctive Relief; IP Protection; Public Injunctive Relief.
Nothing in this Section limits either party’s ability to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual-property or proprietary rights, or to seek public injunctive relief where such a right cannot be waived under applicable law.
14.5 Severability.
If any part of this Section 14 is found unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in effect. If the class/representative action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, then the arbitration agreement in Section 14.2 will not apply to that claim, and such claim must be brought in court, but the class/representative action waiver will continue to apply to the maximum extent permitted for all other claims. The parties agree that the limitations in this Section are fundamental to their agreement to resolve Disputes.
15. Governing Law; Venue
15.1 Non-U.S. Users / Claims Outside the U.S.
Except as provided in Section 14, these Terms and any non-arbitrable dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them are governed by the laws of Cyprus , without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Larnaсa, Cyprus . The parties consent to such jurisdiction and venue to the extent permitted by applicable law.
15.2 U.S. Users / Claims in the U.S.
For users who reside in the United States or bring a claim in the United States: (a) the arbitration agreement and any arbitration are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforceability of the arbitration agreement to the extent it would otherwise apply); and (b) any non-arbitrable dispute or claim shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and the parties consent to such jurisdiction and venue.
15.3 Consumer-Law Safeguard.
Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights you may have under the mandatory laws of your place of residence.
16. Amendments to the Terms
We may, at our sole discretion, modify or update these Terms (including policies incorporated by reference) from time to time. Please revisit this page periodically.
Material changes. If we make a material change, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice—for example, by posting a clear notice on the Site and/or sending an email to the address associated with your Account (if available). Material changes take effect seven (7) days after such notice is posted or sent (whichever is earlier), unless a longer period is stated in the notice or required by law.
Other changes. All other changes are effective as of the “Last Revised” date indicated at the top of these Terms. Your continued access or use of the Service on or after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Subscription-impacting changes. If a change affects your active subscription (for example, changes to price, billing cadence, or cancellation method), we will provide notice in accordance with Section 7 (Billing & Cancellation). If you do not agree to the change, you may cancel before it takes effect; cancellation stops future renewals (see Section 7).
If you do not agree. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, stop using the Service and, if applicable, cancel your subscription before the effective date of the change.
Legal or urgent updates. Changes made to address legal, regulatory, security, or operational requirements may take effect immediately to the extent permitted by law.
Nothing in this Section limits any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law, and changes do not apply retroactively to disputes that arose before the effective date of the updated Terms.
17. Termination; Changes to the Service
We may, at our sole discretion and subject to Applicable Law, suspend or terminate your access to the Service (in whole or in part) at any time, including where we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, engaged in fraud or abuse, or where required by law or a competent authority. Where legally permitted, we will provide notice of the reason for suspension or termination.
We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any feature, content, or offering, temporarily or permanently. If we permanently discontinue the Service (or an applicable paid feature) prior to the end of your prepaid subscription period, we will provide a pro-rata refund of prepaid fees for the remaining period, unless otherwise required by law or addressed elsewhere in these Terms.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Dispute Resolution, Governing Law; Venue, Payments & Refunds (to the extent applicable), and Miscellaneous) will survive termination. Data handling after termination is described in our Privacy Policy.
18. Miscellaneous
Entire Agreement. These Terms (including documents incorporated by reference, such as the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject.
Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship.
No Waiver. A failure to enforce any provision will not be a waiver of that or any other provision.
Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder will stay in effect.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms (or any rights/obligations) without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction (including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets).
Time to Bring Claims. To avoid consumer-law conflicts in various jurisdictions, we do not apply a one-year universal limitation period to consumer claims. Any contractual limitation period will apply only to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
Export/Compliance. You agree to comply with Applicable Law, including export, sanctions, and embargo laws that may govern your use of the Service.
Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to Force Majeure (as defined in Section 2), provided the affected party uses reasonable efforts to mitigate and provides notice where practicable.
Order of Precedence. If there is a conflict between these Terms and any policy referenced herein, these Terms control unless the referenced policy expressly states otherwise.
Language. If we provide a translated version of these Terms, the English version controls to the extent of any conflict, unless Applicable Law requires otherwise.
