It should be understood that "Internet testing" is world-wide, and because of its universal range, it is accessible to many evaluators in "different countries."

Professional Online Testing Solutions, Inc. also wants to limit its tests accessibility to responsible, ethical and qualified evaluators. The following "Terms and Conditions of Use" was written to attain that goal. This is why registering a "new account", "logging onto your account" and clicking on the "signature confirmed" button legally binds the registrant or evaluator to the "Terms and Conditions of Use."
