Article 1 - Definitions
1.1 The Platforms are part of YoungCapital Holding B.V., located at Siriusdreef in Hoofddorp, registered with the Chamber of Commerce in Amsterdam under registration number 34199418.
1.2 Definitions:
- Client: The legal entity using the services of one of the platforms, as described on the respective websites.
- Agreement: The service agreement between one of the platforms and the client, deemed concluded upon submission of the job posting and/or request for another service, together with a (possibly separately sent) written confirmation of the agreed rate.
- Response: All response data from candidates to a posted vacancy.
- Written: Communication via email, mail, or other communication means.
- Match: The actual employment of a candidate with the client.
- Account: The account you can create as a jobseeker or client through the website of one of our platforms. With an account, you can either freely or paidly access all functionalities within the website’s private section.
- Platforms: In the context of these terms and conditions, "Platforms" collectively refers to the online services provided through the websites and associated domains of Studentjob.nl, Studentjob.be, Studentjob.de, Studentjob.fr, Studentjob.es, Studentjob.se, Studentjob.co.uk, Studentjob.ie, Studentjob.at, Studentjob.ch, Jobbird.com, Jobbird.com/de/, and Uitzendbureau.nl, Scholierenwerk.nl, Stage.nl, Studentenwerk.nl, Parttimewerk.nl, It-vacatures-online.nl, Vacatures-overheid-online.nl, Bijbaan.nl, Vakantiewerkonline.nl, Winkel-vacatures-online.nl, Financiele-vacatures-online.nl, Bijbanen.nl, Nebenjob.de. When these terms mention "Platforms," they implicitly refer to the collective functionality, services, and content offered by all the aforementioned websites as a unified whole, regardless of the specific website accessed or used within this network.
- Services: This term refers to all online functionalities, tools, content, and other services offered through the platforms. This includes, but is not limited to, job posting, job searching, job application responses, direct mailings, top listings, and the ability to create an account to access additional functionalities. The term "Services" also includes all updates, upgrades, new versions, replacements, corrections, and improvements to the offered services, whether provided for a fee or free of charge.
- Use: “Use” refers to any form of interaction with the platforms, including but not limited to visiting the websites, creating an account, posting a job, searching for jobs, responding to jobs, sending and receiving messages through the platforms, and participating in other activities provided by the platforms. Use includes actions taken by registered users logged into their accounts and visitors browsing the websites without being logged in.
- Applicant: An "applicant" refers to an individual who, in addition to clicking the 'Apply' button for a specific job posted on one of our platforms, subsequently undertakes the required action by filling out and submitting their personal and professional information as part of the application process. This may include filling out an online application form, uploading a CV and/or cover letter, or completing an application process hosted directly on our platform or via an external link to the client’s website. An individual is considered an "applicant" only after these steps have been successfully completed, and the application has been submitted to the client or designated recruitment team.
- Click: A "click" defines the action in which a user clicks the 'Apply' button or similar call to action within a job ad on one of our platforms. The "Click" refers specifically to the initial action of interest or intent to apply, without necessarily resulting in completing an application process. A "Click" may lead the user to another part of our platform with more information about the application procedure or to a client’s external website where the user can continue the application process. The counting of a "Click" occurs at the moment of this initial action, regardless of whether the user decides to complete the application process.
Article 2 - Applicability
- 2.1 These terms and conditions apply to all quotes, activities, and agreements of the platforms. After termination of an agreement, these terms remain applicable unless the parties have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.

The client can specify basic, objectively verifiable criteria that candidates must meet. The platforms do not guarantee a certain number of matches during the advertisement period.
Article 6 - Job Credits and CV Credits
- 6.1 Job Credits on StudentJob: Credits on StudentJob grant employers the right to post a job for one month.

Any breach of confidentiality by a third party will be considered a breach by the client.

- 8.5 Applications older than six weeks will no longer be viewable.

- 10.2 Pay Per Applicant or Click
If it is agreed with the client that a monthly amount will be charged based on the number of applications or clicks, the following applies:

The compensation for extrajudicial costs is set at a minimum of 15% of the principal amount owed, excluding interest, with a minimum of €250 (two hundred and fifty euros) per claim. If the actual costs exceed 15%, the platforms are entitled to charge these actual costs.
- 10.4 The Client is always obliged to pay any invoice submitted by the platforms within fourteen calendar days of the invoice date. If an invoice is not paid within this period, the Client is in default by operation of law, without notice of default, and owes interest of 1% per month, with any part of a month being counted as a full month. The Client is not permitted to suspend payment or offset it.
Article 11 - Inspection, Complaints
- 11.1 Defects, errors, and/or complaints about the performed work or invoice must be reported in writing by the Client within 8 days after discovery, but no later than 14 days after completion of the work in question. The notice of default must include as detailed a description as possible of the shortcoming, allowing the platforms to respond adequately. If a complaint is justified, one of the platforms will still perform the work as agreed, unless it has become demonstrably pointless for the Client. In such a case, the Client must notify the platform in writing. If performing the agreed work is no longer possible or meaningful, the platform's liability will be limited within the bounds of Article 12.
Article 12 - Termination and Dissolution
- 12.1 The platforms are entitled to dissolve the agreement if:
- The Client does not fully comply with the obligations under the agreement.

- The Client was requested to provide security for the fulfillment of their obligations under the agreement and fails to do so or provides insufficient security.
- 12.2 Furthermore, the platforms are entitled to dissolve the agreement if circumstances arise that make compliance impossible or unreasonable, or if other circumstances arise making it unreasonable to maintain the agreement in its unchanged form.

Article 14 - Force Majeure
- 14.1 The parties are not obligated to fulfill any obligation if they are hindered by circumstances that are not due to fault and do not fall under their responsibility according to the law, legal act, or generally accepted standards.
- 14.2 In these general terms, "force majeure" for the platforms includes all external causes, foreseen or unforeseen, beyond the platforms’ control that make it impossible or unreasonable to fulfill obligations. The platforms will inform the Client of a (potential) force majeure situation as soon as possible.
- 14.3 The platform may suspend obligations during the force majeure period. If this period exceeds two months, either party may terminate the agreement without any obligation to compensate the other party. To the extent that the platforms have already partially fulfilled obligations under the agreement at the time of the force majeure or will be able to do so, and if the fulfilled portion has independent value, the platforms are entitled to invoice this portion separately. The Client is obligated to pay this invoice as if it were a separate agreement.
Article 15 - Confidentiality
- 15.1 Both parties are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information obtained in the context of their agreement from each other or other sources.
