Section 1: About this AUP

This AUP applies to all users of College Office, including the education institutions which use College Office to manage their institution (the "Customers"), and the persons who have been granted access by the Customer to access and use College Office via a unique login (the Customer's "Authorized Users").

1.2 Agreement to this AUP

If you are accessing and using College Office on behalf of a company or education institution (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to this AUP. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other legal entity.

1.3 Modifications to AUP

We may modify this AUP at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we will let you know by posting the modified AUP on the Site and informing you of the change either by email or when you login to the Site. If you continue using College Office after we have let you know that the AUP has been modified, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified AUP. If you do not agree to be bound by the modified AUP then you may no longer use College Office.

1.4 Modifications to Services

We may change or discontinue all or any part of College Office, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

Section 2: User Account Setup

In order to use College Office, you will need a user account (“User Account”). Institutions are responsible for creating, maintaining, blocking, suspending, and revoking the User Accounts of their Authorized Users of College Office.

You agree that you will not disclose your User Account password to anyone and you will notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your User Account.

All users must maintain a valid email address to which we can send notifications related to College Office.
