For the avoidance of doubt, the acceptance by you or the use of any Service provided shall constitute unqualified acceptance by you of these Terms and Conditions, although the contractual mechanism we have outlined in these Terms and Conditions are our intended contractual mechanism (i.e. you provide us with an Order and we provide you with an Order Acceptance).
3.2
Save as expressly provided herein, each Contract (and our
Privacy Policy,
Website Terms of Use
and any other document referred to in each Contract) contains all the terms agreed between the Parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes and excludes any prior agreement, contract, understanding or arrangement between the Parties, whether oral or in writing. No representation, undertaking or promise shall be taken to have been given or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations between the Parties prior to a Contract except as expressly stated in such Contract. Neither Party shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other upon which that Party relied in entering into a Contract (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently or was as to a matter fundamental to a Party's ability to perform such Contract) and that Party's only remedies shall be for breach of contract as provided in such Contract. However, the Service is provided to you under our operating rules, policies, and procedures as published from time to time on the Website.

3.7You shall ensure that the Order is on the same terms as any Quotation and is made in accordance with the terms of the Quotation.

Your privacy is very important to you and us. We shall therefore only use your name and other information which relates to you in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy. We will only use your personal information in a way that is fair to you. We will only collect information where it is necessary for us to do so and we will only collect information if it is relevant to our dealings with you.
We will only keep your information for as long as we are either required to by law, or as is relevant for the purposes for which it was collected.
Data that we collect
We may collect and use various information, including some or all of the following: the names, email addresses, postal addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, payment card details, Website usernames, passwords, details about your organisation, preferences and opinions, in each case relating to you or your organisation. We need some of that information in order to allow you to place your order for the Service, register for the Service and to build your profile within the Service. We may need to use your data to collect payment from you. You also need to provide that information in order to go ahead and use various parts of the Service, including without limitation, when logging on as a user or manager, or when, as a manager, you add new users.
In addition, we may use that information to enable managers to enrol users on a course, monitor users' progress, test scores and online forms and to send you information relevant to the Service or Website, in case there is any servicing required and in case we have any queries.
We shall also collect and use the names of users enrolled on a course, the name of the course on which the user is enrolled, the date on which each user successfully completes a course and a record of how each user did on a course (the "

We may also use your data to send you feedback forms to complete about us and to contact you over any aspect of the Service or the Website (including, but without limitation, providing customer support, enforcing any agreements between us and any of our Website users and verifying information).
By publishing your data on the Website or our promotional and marketing material, this information may be accessible internationally including in countries outside the European Economic Area. Some places outside of the EEA may not have adequate data protection laws at all or may offer differing levels of protection of personal information which are not as high as in the UK. By submitting your data to us or to the Website, you acknowledge that provided we have used your data in the ways set out in this Privacy Policy, we cannot be held responsible for any use of your data by third parties who receive and process your data.
We may further collect (or allocate to you and you may change) a username and password to use restricted parts of the Website. We use that to enable you or anyone you represent or who represents you to access your restricted parts on the Website.
You must only submit to us or the Website information which is accurate and not misleading and you must keep it up to date and inform us of changes. By submitting data in respect of you and your organisation, you must ensure that you have full authority and consent to supply us with that data on their behalf and you warrant to us that you have that authority.

For example, we may use third parties to assist us with providing the administration for running the Website, to enable us to collect payments from you, to store data and to provide us with marketing or customer service assistance.
We may exchange information with third parties for the purposes of fraud protection, tackling money laundering and other crime, and credit risk reduction.
We may transfer our databases containing your personal information if we sell our business or part of it. Â
We may also disclose your details as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
Other than as set out in this Privacy Policy, we shall NOT sell or disclose your personal data to third parties without obtaining your prior consent unless this is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or unless we are required to do so by law, statute, regulations or codes or practice.
The Website may contain advertising of third parties, dedicated pages operated by third parties and links to other Websites or frames of other Websites.

Security
We have in place appropriate technical and security measures to prevent unauthorised or unlawful access to or accidental loss of or destruction or damage to your information. Â
We store your personal details on a secure server which is protected by firewalls. When we collect payment card details electronically, we use encryption by using Secure Site Certificate technology.

You are strongly recommended not to send full credit or debit card details in unencrypted electronic communications with us.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of your information. Â Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
You are responsible for protecting against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer.
