Saxoncourt Teacher Training & Recruitment, hereafter referred to as "Saxoncourt"
or "We", is committed to providing access to a variety of its English teacher training
courses and job offers, and we have established these Terms of Use to govern the
use of our software, web sites, message boards, bulletin boards, chat rooms, email,
technology, content, and other services (collectively, the "Service").
Please be advised that certain special features of the Service offered through Saxoncourt
may have separate registration procedures and separate terms and conditions, terms
of service, user agreement, or similar legal agreement. When you are using any Service
provided by Saxoncourt that does not have a separate legal agreement, then the Terms
of Use set forth here shall apply.
By using the Service, you agree, without limitation or qualification, to be bound
by, and to comply with following Terms of Use:
(a) Reservation of Rights
By using the Service, you agree that this software and all images, audio, text,

Your continued right to use the Service will be subject to and restricted by these
Terms of Use and the Saxoncourt Agreements. Saxoncourt reserves the right to modify
these Terms of Use from time to time, without notice. You are bound by any revisions
made to these Terms of Use and, therefore, you should periodically review these
Terms of Use so that you will be kept apprised of any changes.

of the content or software (including photographs, learning activities, articles,
