Access to and use of the Website

'Institution' is defined as any accredited educational institution organised and operated exclusively for the purpose of teaching its enrolled students or any corporation or business entity supporting or offering educational courses for its employees or other designated third parties.

'Authorised User' is defined as an individual who is authorised to access the Website through a secure network, via his/her affiliation with an Institution, and having purchased a first-hand copy of an In Focus Student's Book containing an access code.

Access to the Website is as follows:

Only teachers affiliated to an Institution with students enrolled in a course that uses the In Focus series published by Cambridge as course material are permitted to establish an Account.

Usernames, passwords and access codes must be kept confidential and may only be used by the Authorised User in accordance with these terms of use. Unauthorised use of the username and password, or the access code, either with or without the Authorised User's knowledge and consent, shall be considered a breach of these terms of use. Authorised Users agree to notify Cambridge of any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft or disclosure of usernames, passwords or access codes.

The Website shall have a subscription period of 12 months from the date an Authorised User first logs on to the Website using the access code contained in his/her copy of the In Focus Student's Book. Upon expiry of the subscription period, all data pertaining to the Authorised User Website account will no longer be accessible by the Authorised User.

Obligations of the Institutions

Each Institution, through its teachers, shall use best endeavours to monitor compliance and immediately upon becoming aware of any unauthorised use or other breach by one of its Authorised Users, inform Cambridge and take all reasonable and appropriate steps, including disciplinary action, both to ensure that such activity ceases and to prevent any recurrence. The Institution shall use best endeavours to ensure that all Authorised Users are appropriately notified of the importance of respecting the intellectual property rights in the Website. The Institution shall be responsible for ensuring that adequate security is in place in order that only Authorised Users can gain access to the Website.
