2. SUBSCRIPTIONS: A "Subscription" is the right for a single natural person to access and use the Services. The number of Subscriptions authorized under this Agreement ("Licensed Subscriptions") is equal to the number of unique Identification Numbers issued to you by Licensor. Each Licensed Subscription (and its associated Identification Number) can be assigned to only one person at a time, and is not transferable from one individual to another. Only persons to whom Licensed Subscriptions (and associated Identification Numbers) are assigned can access and use the Services.

3. TERM: The term of a Licensed Subscription in respect of the Services purchased by yourself ("Term") shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the applicable expiry date specified by the Licensor for such Licensed Subscription, unless terminated in terms of 12. Once the Term expires, the licence referred to in 5 will automatically terminate and you will no longer have access to the Services.

4. TITLE: The Licensor and/or its suppliers are the exclusive owners of the Services. All rights, title and interest in and to the Services, or any copy, modification or merged portion of the Services, shall at all times remain with Licensor and/or its suppliers.

5. LICENCE: For each Licensed Subscription, the Licensor grants to you, only for your personal or internal business purposes, a temporary, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access those of the following Services that are purchased by you, which are more fully described below:

(a) Licensed Courseware. You are hereby granted the right to access and use the Courses which you have selected at Internet URLs specified by the Licensor from time to time. The Courses and the Business Skills Video Courses are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Courses". Plug-ins and other executable files downloaded to you when you display the Courses may be used following the expiry of the Term, but only for the use of the person to which the Licensed Subscription was assigned as at the expiry of the Term.

(b) Mentoring. You are hereby granted the right to use the Mentoring Services according to the terms and conditions further expressed below.

The Courses are mapped to some of the Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, Java, ITIL and VMware international exam objectives which prepare you to write the international exams concerned. The Courses and certification provided by the Licensor is in no way whatsoever SAQA and / or NQF accredited.

There are no implied licences. You agree not to exceed the scope of the licences granted herein.

You acknowledge and accept that (a) from time to time the international exams offered by third parties which are concerned with the same or similar subject matter as the Licensed Courseware could be discontinued without notice by such third parties; and (b) the conclusion of this Agreement by you in no manner constitutes an entitlement on the part of you to write the applicable international exam.

Each dialog window will allow you to communicate with the online mentor and other end users participating in the designated dialog window. You may submit subject matter questions to the online mentor through the dialog window or post questions directly to the message board. Online mentors will use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to respond to appropriate subject matter questions submitted by you. Questions that cannot be resolved online, or that are submitted through the message board, will be referred to subject matter experts for resolution offline. Answers to questions resolved offline will be posted to the appropriate message board. The Licensor will use its commercially reasonable good faith efforts to post, on the appropriate message board, responses to all questions that cannot be resolved online or that are submitted through a message board. Offline resolution times will generally range from between twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours from the receipt of the question.

Such Rules of Conduct, if and when established, shall be posted on a designated Licensor website or will otherwise be made available to you and you will be required to acquaint yourself with the rules contained therein.

In the event payment is made by credit card, your card issuer’s agreement governs your use of your designated card and you must refer to that agreement and not this Agreement with respect to your rights and liabilities as a cardholder.

To the extent that the NCA may become applicable to this Agreement, the Licensor will credit each payment made by the Customer on the date of receipt of the payment as follows: firstly, to satisfy any unpaid default interest charges (if any), and secondly, to satisfy any due or unpaid charges.
