4.2 All books and materials provided by PDA are subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights and may not be copied, for any purpose, without the express written permission of the copyright holder.

PDA International tries to ensure that the information contained in the materials is accurate, but it is provided as support material for events and does not substitute them.

For this reason, the Buyer acknowledges that it must not rely on the content of the course books or materials provided by PDA International without verifying them.

5.2 Except where explicitly stated in these terms and conditions, PDA is the processor of all personal data entered by Authorised Users and by Candidates in the provision of Services, and the Buyer is the data controller. The Buyer acknowledges that personal data may be processed by sub-processors and that it must seek and obtain applicable consent from all interested parties to permit the processing of their personal data according to what is provided in this Agreement, and in particular must obtain their consent to the Privacy Policy.

5.3 When it acts as a data processor, PDA agrees to act solely by following the instructions of the pertinent data controller and to comply with the seventh principle of data protection (security).

5.4 PDA International shall cooperate with the Buyer and shall provide it with reasonable assistance in relation to any subject access request received by the Buyer. When PDA receives subject access requests related to data of which PDA is the data processor and the Buyer is the data controller, PDA shall send the subject access request to the Buyer.

PDA may charge the Buyer to manage subject access requests based on its normal rates for time and materials (and without reference to the rate that the staff responsible for processing could charge the data subject in accordance with the Law).

6. USE OF ASSESSMENTS

6.1 The Buyer accepts and recognises that the results of the Assessments are a tool to help with the selection, retention, development, deployment and advancement of Candidates (including employees), and are intended to be utilised as an aid by trained Human Resources personnel. In particular, the Buyer agrees that the results of the Assessments shall not be used for redundancy selections.

7. AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES

7.1 PDA International shall make every reasonable effort to guarantee that Services are available at all times, but does not guarantee 24/7 availability. The Client accepts and acknowledges that Services shall only be available when it maintains a sufficiently fast and reliable internet connection, and uses a browser environment that complies with PDA International guidelines.
In particular, this may require downloading browser complement add-ons to allow access to content. PDA is not liable for said complements from third parties and the Buyer is responsible for complying with the licensing agreements that may apply thereto.
