INCORPORATION
The client is responsibile for reviewing these statements
before placing an order. The act of order placement consummated
by system access automatically incorporates in law, and in
full without condition or exception, the following legally

DEFINITIONS 
"THRDGL" means - The HRD Group Limited, based and
registered in England.
"Users" means all persons accessing this system
using a uniquely authorized licence. If an individual accesses

THRDGL staff, partners and their representatives, client sponsors
and their employees, approved trainers and assessors.
"Partners" means THRDGL UK and global representatives
who have contracted rights to market the system, sell user
licences and system program registrations, and provide client
and user support services - in either a specified region,
or for specified products. These rights also include the adoption
of trading identities agreed between THRDGL and the partner.
"the system" means the system resident on servers
in London under the THRDGL owned IP address of www.hrd-online.com
and accessed via a unique user logon identity.
"Materials" means the system's ebriefings, eprogrammes
and software program code, and any supporting code; the system's
descriptions and user guides, text, layout and presentation,
logos, images, icons, photos, site and eprogramme banners
and all other artwork; together with partner's written advice,
marketing information, blended learning materials and information
on their organisation, partners and representatives; together
with all materials contained on any of THRDGL's websites and
partner's websites.
"Client" means a person who places an order for
a licence or licences to the system either for themselves,
or on behalf of their organisation, either directly with THRDGL,

may be copied, reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or
transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronically,
mechanically, photographed, photocopied, recorded, handwritten,
or in any other way retained for use independent of that authorised

NO authority is given to anyone to modify, reproduce, publicize,
publicly display or distribute any material, or authorised
prints of any material, whether for their use, or any commercial
use, or competing purpose, or to any third party. Equally
the material must not be used for the development, production
of or marketing of a competing learning program, or learning

infringes this copyright.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
1. Once a user licence has been created on the system in
accord with a Course, ILM qualification or Portal Plan order,
the client will be notified and invoiced.
2. All invoices are due for payment within 14 days of the
invoice date.
3. In the case of Extended and Advanced Port Plans the client
is to arrange payment via a monthly Standing Order for the
period of the order.
4. Licences issued or programs registered for that licence
are for the named individual user's use only and the user
must not permit any other person to use their licence, or
access their program. The principle of one user - one licence
must be strictly adhered to.
5. Audit checks are in place to monitor the adherence of
this principle and failure to comply with this contracted
condition will render the client's organisation as untrustworthy
and this will automatically result in the suspension of all
its user licences pending a full investigation and reconciliation.
6. If evidence exists that indicates a client's user is in
breach of clause four then rectification must be made and
compensation paid or the client's organisation will be judged
to have cancelled the order by default on its obligation.
7. All Portal Plans are automatically renewed unless the
client serves a non-renewal notice in writing no later than
3 months before the Plans expiry date. If no such written
notice is received the client's organisation will be liable
for the extended period of one year for a basic plan, three
years for an extended plan, and five years for an advanced
plan.
8. If a non-renewal notice is received then all the client's
user licences and their system records will be deleted at
the end of the contracted period. Once deleted they cannot
be reinstated. It is the client's responsibility to produce
any required reports and download any required data from the
system before the contracted period expires.
9. If any payment due is not received in accordance with
the above terms then all the client's users will be denied
access to the system's learning resources and access will
not be reinstated until all monies due have been paid in full.
10. If the client's organisation makes repeated payment transgressions
then they will be judged to have cancelled the order by default
on its obligation and clause 11 will be implemented.
11. If an order cancellation is served then access to all
client user licences will be immediately suspended pending
the imminent deletion of the client user's system records,
once effected user records cannot be retrieved.
12. The act of order cancellation will render the client's
organisation liable for the payment of any money due to be
fully compliant with their order, and such payment owed will
be immediately paid and will accrue interest at 3% above the
Bank of England's bank rate until it is paid.
13. Any references or testimonials that are provided may
be included on the system, or our websites, or in our marketing
materials, at our discretion. In such instances usage will
be to the credit of the originating client organisation.
LIMITED LIABILITY 
1. The system's owners, staff, administrators, or partners
shall not be liable for any consequence arising from failure,
or delay, in the performance of any of their obligations,
or duties, or support expectations to users of the system.
2. The system's owners, staff, administrators, or partners
do not accept any responsibility for the materials they have
authored or made available by third parties.
3. All our website's and system's material, together with
any suggestions, recommendations, opinions, instructions or
any other communication made, both oral and written, directly
or indirectly, is offered to users in good faith. No condition,
warranty or representation, expressed or implied, is given
as to its validity or to the results obtained. It is the sole
responsibility of the client organisation or individual user
for the adoption to their needs, circumstances and operating
environment.
4. User licences to the system and program registrations
are sold on the basis that tutor support is not provided,
either for the elearning material or system usage, whether
by email, telephone, face-to-face, or any other means, unless
separate terms and conditions have been contractually
agreed for this provision.
5. All rights and powers not expressly granted to the client
herein are expressly reserved by THRDGL.
6. If any provision of this agreement shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall be in
no way affected or impaired.
7. The enforcement of these legal statements is governed
by English Law. In the event of dispute all parties hereby
agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.
PRIVACY STATEMENT 
We respect the privacy of system users. The system's owners,
staff, administrators, or partners will not capture and store
