1. Acceptance of terms
By using TalentPath (talentpath.eu), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you are using TalentPath on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these terms.
2. The service
TalentPath provides: • A free digital skills assessment based on DigComp 3.0 (EU JRC) for individual workers. • Verifiable digital skills certificates issued as W3C Verifiable Credentials. • A B2B workspace where organisations record the AI literacy measures they take under Article 4 of the EU AI Act. • A Skills Roadmap that turns an organisation's own answers into a plan of when to start training, hiring or other actions. • A Talent Pool where people can list themselves under a pseudonym and decide which employers may contact them. • Supporting tools for skill portability, readiness, and market intelligence. The assessment is not a substitute for professional certification or legal advice.
3. Worker accounts (individual users)
The assessment is free. No account is required to start. You provide your name and email to receive your certificate. You may retake the assessment after a 24-hour cooldown period. Certificates are valid for 2 years from the date of issue. You must be 16 or older to create an account. You must not use false information when registering for the assessment. Certificates issued on the basis of false information may be revoked.
4. B2B accounts (organisations)
The B2B workspace is free: there is no trial, no user limit and no charge. TalentPath does not e-mail your staff: you send them your workspace's invite link yourself, and each person decides whether to join. If we ever introduce paid features, we will tell you at least 30 days in advance, and nothing will be charged without your agreement. You are responsible for: • Ensuring you have lawful grounds for any staff e-mail addresses you add to your list, and consulting a works council or staff representatives where your country's law requires it. • Telling staff what your organisation will see: whether and when each person took the assessment. You will not see any level or score, individual or as a group total. • Not asking staff to share their individual results as a condition of their job. • Ensuring your use of the record of measures complies with applicable law.
5. Certificate verification
Each certificate has a code that cannot be guessed. Anyone who has the code can check at talentpath.eu/verify/[code] that the certificate is genuine and still valid, and sees the holder's name as shown on it, the overall score, the results by area and the issue date. We never publish codes: they reach other people only when the holder shares them, and that is what verification is for. You can ask us to delete your certificate at info@talentpath.eu; its code then stops verifying.
5a. The Talent Pool: rules and moderation
These rules apply to everyone who lists themselves in the Talent Pool and to everyone who contacts a candidate through it. If you contact a candidate, you must: (a) never ask them for money or anything of value — no fee, deposit, visa or work-permit charge, training, travel or equipment cost, however it is described; (b) contact them only about a real vacancy that you are entitled to recruit for, and describe it truthfully; (c) not pretend to be another person or organisation; (d) not harass, threaten or discriminate against them, and not keep contacting them after they decline; (e) use the name and e-mail address a candidate releases to you only for the vacancy you described. If you list yourself, the information in your listing must be yours and must be true, and must not include your name: employers see a code until you approve a request (f). Who can list (g). The Talent Pool is for management, professional and technician occupations: ISCO-08 major groups 1, 2 and 3. The occupation group you choose must also be listed as a shortage, or a shortage in some regions, in at least one country in the European Labour Authority's most recent data on labour shortages and surpluses. The rule is about the occupation, never about the person. A listing that does not meet it cannot be published, and an existing listing that does not meet it is no longer shown; we tell you when that happens. How we moderate. Anyone can report a listing or a contact request from the page it appears on, or by writing to info@talentpath.eu. A person at TalentPath reads every report and decides; no decision about you is made automatically. Where a rule above, or section 3 or 8 of these terms, has been broken, we may hide a listing, stop contact requests, suspend an account or revoke a certificate. We will tell you in writing what we did, why, which rule it was, how long it lasts and how to contest it. If you think we got it wrong, reply to that message or write to info@talentpath.eu; a person will look at it again and answer. You can also go to court. When you report something, we tell you what we decided.
5b. Contact points (Digital Services Act)
For the Talent Pool, TalentPath is a hosting service under the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065). Single point of contact for authorities of the member states, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services (Article 11), and for users of the service (Article 12): info@talentpath.eu. You can write to us in English. Questions from users are answered by a person, not by an automated system. To report illegal content or a breach of these terms, use the report button on the listing or contact request concerned, or write to the address above (Article 16). How we decide and how to contest a decision is in section 5a.
6. Intellectual property
The DigComp 3.0 framework is developed by the European Commission Joint Research Centre and is used here for assessment purposes under open-access terms. ESCO is © European Union. TalentPath platform code, design, and question content are proprietary.
7. Limitation of liability
TalentPath is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that assessment results will satisfy any particular legal or regulatory requirement. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the platform. The record of measures generated for organisations documents assessment participation only. It does not constitute a legal compliance certification. Seek independent legal advice for EU AI Act compliance decisions. A Skills Roadmap is calculated by fixed rules from your own answers and general assumptions, which the method page shows in full. It is a planning aid, not advice, and the dates in it are estimates. Funding schemes named in it change; confirm with the scheme before you rely on one. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury, or under consumer-protection rules that apply to you.
8. Termination
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, abuse the assessment system, or provide false information. An organisation can stop using its workspace at any time. We may close a workspace that is misused or otherwise breaks these terms; its records remain available to its administrators.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the EU member state in which TalentPath is established. If you use TalentPath as a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there.
10. Changes
We may update these terms. We will e-mail account holders about a material change at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you do not agree, you can close your account before then. If you keep using TalentPath after the change takes effect, the new terms apply.
