1. Introduction.

This Agreement is a legal document which sets out your rights and obligations, and those of Web Results Direct Limited, a company registered in England under registration no. 4308094 ("LinkGovernor", "we" or "us"), in relation to this site and the services offered by LinkGovernor through it (the "Link Governor Service"). You must take the time to read and understand it, before registering for the LinkGovernor service as a training organisation.

By registering, you accept that you are entering into a contract with us on the terms of this Agreement.

Users of the Link Governor Service also affirm that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the LinkGovernor Service.

You should be aware that this Agreement may change from time to time in accordance with Clause 23 below.

2 Types of User.

People who register for the LinkGovernor Service become "Users".

Users are

• training organisations or their representatives who confirm these terms and conditions on their behalf;
• school or their named representatives who confirm these terms and conditions on their behalf;
• school governors and individuals who are registered on the service by schools and educational bodies

Users must be at least 18 years of age.

Users join the LinkGovernor service in order to manage the training events of school and educational organisations' boards of governors and trustees. A full description of this service is offered on the website.

In order to avail of the LinkGovernor Service, you must have internet access and all the software (and skills) required for e-mail and web usage.

3 Training Organisations and Fees

If a training organisation decide to become a User it agrees to pay our fees at the agreed prevailing rate as published on the website. Fees are due 30 days after the date of invoice and in the event of non-payment LinkGovernor is entitled to withdraw service. Any changes in pricing will be notified by e-mail to Training Organisations six months in advance of the change.

Invoices will be issued on a calendar quarterly basis in arrears and will be calculated as defined by the number of schools registered with the training organisation during the period. The full quarterly charge will be made for each registered school irrespective of the time period for which the school has been registered during the quarter.

You are able to terminate this Agreement at the end of the calendar quarter during which the notice is given and the agreement is deemed terminated when full and final settlement of any outstanding invoices has been effected.
