3. 2 A User of the Platform can be a Client, Talent, Potential Candidate, or Team Member. The Platform allows the Client to test their Team Members, identify suitable Potential Candidates to complement the Team for increased performance and achieving the right balance within the Team, and subsequently test the Potential Candidates identified by the Client to determine if they are the missing links in the Client's Team. Additionally, the Client is enabled to analyze the behavioral and cognitive potential of Team Members to evaluate how to further work with that potential. Through the Platform, a Talent can test their abilities and skills and, based on the results, can be matched with a suitable Client.

3. 3 The Platform is operated within an internet network environment on the Website.

4. User Registration

4. 1 The Platform allows registration of Clients, for whom a User Account will be created, as well as Talents or Potential candidates, who will create a Profile or Team Member within registration, for whom an Employee profile will be created.

4. 2 In the event that a visitor wishes to register on the Platform as a Client, they must first sign a Framework Agreement with the Company, based on which the Company will create a User Account for them for the purpose of using the Platform and accessing Services for Clients. Subsequently, within fourteen (14) days of concluding the Framework Agreement, the Company, in cooperation with the Client, will create a User Account for the Client on the Platform. The Company undertakes, together with the creation of the User Account, to provide access credentials to the Client and to train one (1) person designated by the Client in the use of the Platform.

4. 3 The User Account may be managed by the Company or the Client themselves. Within the User Account, the Client will have access to analyses of their Teams, Team Members, and individual Potential candidates.

4. 4 A visitor will register on the Platform as a Talent if they have sought out the Platform themselves for the purpose of utilizing the offered Services for Talents.

In the case of a Talent who sought out the Company or Platform themselves, the Talent has the option to agree to make their Profile accessible for job offers from other Company clients from the first day of registration on the Platform.

In such a case, if prompted by the Client to register on the Platform via an email the Team Member uses within their employment (or other similar) relationship with the Client, such a Team Member will have two workspaces created, namely a Profile and an Employee profile. The Team Member will then have the option to link their Profile with their Employee profile, thereby transferring test results and other relevant data from the Profile to the Employee profile. Subsequently, the Team Member can log in using credentials for the (private) Profile only.

4. 13 In the case of a Team Member, their Employee profile will be private, visible only to the Team Member and the Client. A Team Member with an Employee profile can also register on the Platform as a Talent, resulting in the creation of a Profile. When creating a private Profile, the Team Member will be asked whether they want to link the Profile with their Employee profile. If the Team Member agrees to link the Employee profile with the Profile, they will also enter their login credentials for the Employee profile, after which test results and other data can be transferred from the Employee profile to the Team Member's Profile. Subsequently, the Team Member can log in to the Platform using credentials for both the private Profile and the Employee profile (employee email).

4. 14 A Team Member who owns multiple accounts, i.e., an Employee profile (or multiple Employee profiles) and a Profile, and whose accounts are linked as described above, will always see both their profiles (Profile and Employee profile) within their login session.
