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, video, and other information are made available for your
use pursuant to the Saxoncourt License Agreement and/or Service Agreement
that you agreed to when registering and/or subscribing with Saxoncourt
(the "Saxoncourt Agreements").
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.
Please Note: You may not copy, transmit, or redistribute the Service,
or any portion of the content or software (including photographs,
learning activities, articles, or reference materials), or use the
content or software separate from the Service; nor may you allow other
persons to access or use the Service. Any rights not expressly granted
in these Terms of Use or the Saxoncourt Agreements are reserved by
Saxoncourt.

The prices listed do not include any Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods
and Services Tax (GST), General Excise Tax (GET) or other applicable

such taxes if they apply. You agree that we may include some or all
of such taxes in your credit card charges. Saxoncourt may change its

all, or no areas of the Messaging Services for adherence to the Terms
of Use or other rules that may be given to users.

this information to fill orders promptly, to provide customer service
assistance, and to improve the content of the Service to better meet
our users' need. We do not share any of such personal information

you have any question about this privacy policy, please contact us.
In addition to personal information, Saxoncourt may collect certain
profile information from its users (such as profession, education,

information to create aggregate reports about its users. The profile

information that can identify you personally.
Saxoncourt also collects anonymous information by using "cookies."
Cookies are bits of electronic information which a web site can transfer
to your hard drive to help tailor and keep records of your visit and
activities at the site. Since cookies are only text files, they cannot
run on your computer, be used to search your computer for other information,
or transmit any information to anyone. Cookies allow web site operators
to better tailor visits to the site to the visitor's individual preferences.
The use of cookies is standard on the Internet and many major web
sites use them. You can choose to set your browser to notify you whenever
you are sent a cookie. This gives you the opportunity to decide whether
or not to accept the cookie. You can also remove cookies from your
computer or from any computer you use such as computers in a public
facility.
Notwithstanding the above, Saxoncourt reserves the right to disclose
any content, records, or electronic communication of any kind:

provision of the Terms of Use will be effective only if in writing
and signed by Saxoncourt. A printed version of this Terms of Use and
