Any words expressing the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and reference to any one gender shall include the other. Any reference to persons includes both legal and natural persons. These terms and conditions shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

Privacy and Confidentiality

We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of your personal information and use both technological and procedural safeguards to protect it. We abide by the Protection of Personal Information Act.

We will not sell, share, or rent your personal information to any third party or use your e-mail address for unsolicited mail. Any emails sent by this Company will only be in connection with the provision of agreed services and products.

Only authorized employees on a need to know basis have access to and use of personal information collected from individual customers. We regularly review our systems and data management processes to ensure the best possible service to our customers. The laws of the Republic of South Africa lay down specific offences for unauthorised actions against computer systems and data, and as such we will investigate any unauthorised actions with a view to prosecuting and/or taking civil proceedings to recover damages against those responsible.

Any information concerning the Students and their respective Student records will not be passed by us to third parties without the Student’s express or implied consent. Student academic records are regarded as confidential and therefore will not be divulged to any third party without the express prior consent of a Student unless we are legally required to do so to by appropriate legal authorities. Students making use of our services have the right to request sight of, and copies of any and all Student records we keep regarding them, on the proviso that we are given reasonable notice of such a request. Students are requested to retain copies of any literature issued in relation to the provision of our services. Where appropriate, we shall issue Student’s with any written information, hand-outs or copies of records as part of an agreed contract, for the benefit of both parties.
