In particular, these GTC apply to all contracts concluded by a CUSTOMER for the use of the software as a service (hereinafter "APPLICATION") produced by INSIGHT.OUT.

(2) INSIGHT.OUT offers the customer platform usage via the website https://testbox.de/ (hereinafter "PLATFORM"), through which customers can access both free and paid assessments created by third parties (hereinafter "AUTHORS"). These assessments serve as a tool and to support diagnosis. However, they do not replace the diagnosis of the CUSTOMER.

(4) The offer of the platform and the use of the content available on the platform, in particular the conduct of assessments and the assessment and interpretation of evaluations, is exclusively aimed at appropriately trained personnel with the necessary expertise (specialists/medical service providers). The use of the platform is exclusively permitted to the aforementioned specialist personnel, in particular doctors, psychotherapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists. In addition to the responsibility for their own suitability, the CUSTOMER must also ensure the suitability of the employees they have added.

(5) In addition, INSIGHT.OUT's general terms of use for the use of the PLATFORM apply, especially for the use of the test access to the platform. These will be made available to the CUSTOMER before conclusion of the contract.
