1. the Access Code shall be kept confidential and disclosed to no individual other than the Teacher or their replacement;
2. where the Teacher’s employment ceases with You, You shall notify CVVid in order that CVVid can issue a new Access Code;
3. the Access Code shall be utilised for no purpose other than that set out above; and
4. You shall be responsible for any liabilities arising out of the misuse of the Access Code.

CVVid shall provide the Subscription Services to the Student (rather than You) using all reasonable care and skill and subject to the Candidate Terms.
