Welcome to Learning Light’s e-learningcentre web site (www.e-learningcentre.co.uk) (hereafter the “Site”). Please read this Privacy, Membership and Terms of Use Agreement (hereafter Agreement) carefully before using this Site. By using the Site, you accept and agree to the terms and conditions contained hereunder and those referred to in this Privacy, Membership and Terms of Use Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions (the “Terms”), please do not use the Site. We may change the Terms from time to time, and it is your responsibility to review them periodically to make sure that you are current on the guidelines.

General

This Site is owned and operated by Learning Light Limited, Sheffield Technology Parks Suite 21, Cooper Buildings, Arundel St, Sheffield, S1 2NS.  The Site offers Users (as defined below) access to information, resources and interpersonal networking sites and other content assets owned or licensed by Learning Light.

Please note that all visitors and members in any category will be referred to hereafter as “User” in this Agreement. Each User must be 18 years or older to establish a “Member Profile”. “Member Profile” means the account (the “Account”) registered to any User pursuant to the registration procedures for the Site. The Terms of this Agreement apply to all Users. The User for any Member Profile Account is entirely liable for all activities conducted through that Account.

Personal Information

When you register yourself or your organisation as a Member of Learning Light you must provide the requested contact information and general information about you and your organisation. We will also ask you to create a Username and Password. This information allows us to maintain a Member Profile for each Member so that we have a better understanding of the needs of our Members so we can then customise preferences for each specific Member, as well as provide better Sites and more efficient methods for Users to contribute and receive information. As a registered Member you will be automatically placed on a list to receive the Learning Light email newsletter that is sent monthly to all Members. At the end of your first year as a registered Member, you will be notified that it is time to either (i) renew your membership or (ii) upgrade from one membership category to another, or (iii) to opt-out of your membership entirely.

We may use the information we collect during the registration process to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the Website and new Sites from Learning Light.

Non-transferability of Membership

As a registered Member of this Site, Learning Light grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-assignable, and non-transferable license to use and display the information offered by the Site on any machine(s) of which you are the primary user. You acknowledge that you may not sublicense, transfer, sell, or assign this license or the Site without written authorisation from Learning Light. Any attempt to sublicense, transfer, sell, loan, or assign the license may result in its immediate termination.

Intellectual Property Rights

The Site provides certain Sites and benefits for registered Members and derives its revenue from the production and distribution of those Sites and benefits for the exclusive use of registered Members. Users of the Site acknowledge that the duplication and/or redistribution of content, information, data, or other intellectual property gained through exclusive access to the Site to any other party would be a violation of applicable copyright laws and therefore would cause harm to the Site. Members hereby agree that duplication and/or redistribution of any materials to any non-member shall require prior written authorisation from a director of Learning Light. It is further agreed, that any specific instance in which written authorisation is granted by the Site, does not authorise the Member to duplicate and/or redistribute any other material than that for which written authorisation was granted.

Security

As part of the registration process each Member will select a Username and Password. You shall provide Learning Light with accurate, complete, and updated information. You agree to notify Learning Light by email at members@learninglight.eu of any known or suspected unauthorised use(s) of

your User Account, or any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorised disclosure of your Username and/or Password. You shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Password. Any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity may be grounds for termination of your User Account, at Learning Light’s sole discretion, and you may be reported to appropriate statutory authorities.

Personal Information Security

Learning Light implements a variety of standard web security measures to maintain the safety and security of your personal information. Of course any User who has not registered as a Member may use the site anonymously as a visitor, but any personal information you provide to become a Registered Member will be protected by secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to such systems. We recommend that, if you share your computer or use a computer that is accessed by the general public (i.e., a University or library, etc.), you remember to close your browser window when you have finished your session. This will help to ensure that others cannot access your personal information.

Personal Information to Other Parties

Learning Light does not sell or otherwise transfer email addresses or other general information that visitors voluntarily provide in any registration process. This information is collected and used to better understand Users’ use of the Site and to support related transactions made on the site. Learning Light may also use email addresses and other personally identifiable information to communicate with Users who initiate communications with Learning Light.

Learning Light may disclose your personally identifiable information if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, a court order or other legal process. We may also disclose this information if we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our terms of Site or to protect the safety of our Users and the public.
