Licenses, Fees and Payment

a. No one may use the Qintil Learning Manager system made available from Qintil without having paid for a license.

b. If licenses are purchased, a user may access the Qintil platform for as long as the license period allows, and for as many learners, administrators, locations and departments as the license allows.

c. The Customer may purchase as few or as many licenses in advance as they choose, according their own chosen need. If you need more Users, Locations or Admins, then Licenses may be purchased by contacting Qintil and ordering Licenses, or by purchasing them on the Qintil website, after which an invoice will be issued for payment, and the Licenses will be applied to the Customers account.

d. Payment must be made in full prior to the issuing of Licenses or carrying out any customization or any other work to the Learner Management System or Course material.

e. Accepting these terms and conditions means you accept that no refund, credit or similar for paid for Licenses will be made by or on behalf of Qintil for any reason whatsoever after payment has been authorised electronically or cleared if not paid electronically.

f. You accept that Qintil is not liable for unauthorised access to or use of Licenses. The customer is wholly and entirely responsible for protecting access to and managing the use of their Qintil account.

g. Qintil reserves the right to increase or decrease the cost of purchasing Licenses at any time. We will provide 30 days advance notice of any such price increase or decrease. 

h. Invoices for all fees are due and payable within 7 days of invoice date unless agreed otherwise in writing. 

Term and Termination

a. The term of the Agreement (the Term) commences on the date that the Customer first starts using Qintil Learning Manager, or another date that we agree with you in writing (the Service Start Date) and will continue thereafter until the Agreement expires or is terminated as provided herein or in our contract with you (the Services Agreement).

The Service will commence on the Service Start Date (as defined in section 11). Unless another period is agreed in writing, the Agreement (“Initial Term”) will continue in periods equal to the initial term until cancelled unless The Customer provides written notice of termination not less than 30 days before the end of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as applicable.

Applicable pricing and billing, will continue unchanged unless Qintil notifies The Customer of changes in pricing and/or billing including Subscription Fees, billing interval, minimum Subscription Fees, acceleration fees, or any other business terms, at least 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Billing Start Date. Qintil reserves the right to terminate (i) any third party product or service upon not less than sixty (60) days’ notice, or (ii) the Agreement or any Service or product provided hereunder for convenience on not less than one (1) year’s notice.

b. The Customer may terminate the Agreement if Qintil materially breaches the Agreement and such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) business days of notice of such breach. Any termination by The Customer (other than for Qintil’s material breach of the Agreement as set forth in this Section 8(b)) and any termination by Qintil for The Customer’s breach, prior to the end of the Initial Term or, as applicable, the current Renewal Term, will subject The Customer to an early termination (acceleration) fee by way of liquidated damages and not as a penalty for lost Subscription Fee revenue for the remainder of the Term. The early termination fee will be (a) the amount of all Subscription Fees that would be due for the remainder of the then current contract Term (that is the Initial Term or the current Renewal Term), plus (b) any other fees or amounts due (for example, for professional services).

c. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, The Customer shall have no rights to continue use of the Service. The following provisions will survive termination: all definitions, The Customer’s accrued financial obligations, the license to The Customer Data to the extent reasonable for Qintil’s discharge of its post-termination obligations.

c. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Section are integral to the amount of fees charged in connection with the license of the Service, and if Qintil assumed further liability, the fees would be set substantially higher.
