COPYRIGHT
All copyright and other intellectual property in all material, which we prepare for use prior to or during the course, including marketing and course notes, shall be and remain vested by us.
COURSE CONTENT
The specific course content is detailed in the course outline, which may be subject to change, and should be confirmed at the time of booking. We endeavor to address all parts of the course as detailed in the course outline, but this cannot be guaranteed. We may, if possible, change course content at the request of attendees provided this is agreeable to by all parties or is felt to be necessary by the tutor. Course duration may vary (by hours or days) depending on the number of attendees, rate of delivery and aptitude of attendees. Courses will normally run from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM with a 1-hour lunch and some refreshment breaks.
DOCUMENTATION
Documentation may be provided for some courses and may vary in style and depth. Documentation purchase, preparation, duplication and licensing for non-scheduled courses will be charged on top of the course delivery fees, and an invoice will be raised following the course once precise costs are known.
ATTENDEE EXPERIENCE AND BEHAVIOR
Attendees are expected to behave professionally at all times during the course. Intoxication and disorderly behavior will not be tolerated.
Attendees must fulfill the minimum requirements specified in the course. Failure to adhere to these pre-requisites will impact our ability to deliver the course effectively. Inexperienced, over experienced and under or over qualified attendees may attend courses but must realize that the benefits gained will be limited and that instructors cannot normally change course content and depth to suit these attendees, unless by prior arrangement.
We reserve the right to exclude attendees from the course (without a fee refund) at any time if they cause interruptions or delays for the above, any other reasons affecting the course delivery, or if their qualifications and current experience impact on our ability to deliver the course as originally intended.
We reserve the right to stop a course (without a refund of fees) should attendees misbehave, cause interruptions or should their experience and qualifications be such that we cannot continue to deliver the course as originally intended in terms of content and depth.
All claims made against us by other clients or attendees as a result of such delays or interruptions will be chargeable to those causing the delays.

Liquidated damages for breach of this provision will be equal to the gross salary or fees of that person for the first twelve months of his new employment or service contract, or $1 000 000 whichever is the higher.
MISCELLANEOUS
The client (and any other parties introduced by the client to NobleProg representatives directly or indirectly) will not, under any circumstances, conduct any direct negotiations with NobleProg representatives (or parties introduced by them directly or indirectly) in respect of this or any other planned work without prior approval in writing from NobleProg. Any loss of actual or future business resulting from such negotiations will be charged to the client at a rate of $50 000 per day for each day of lost business or at the value of the lost business whichever is greater. The client is assumed to have Software licenses for all courses we run for the client regardless of the location of the training or hardware used, whether provided by the client or us. Attendees will be responsible for any damage they cause to our data, equipment or premises to the value of resulting losses. Equipment used will normally be IBM PC compatible hardware.
NobleProg will not take any responsibility whatever for theft or losses to client's belongings left at our premises, or to any damage or loss resulting from attending our premises or our courses/services anywhere in the world. Valuables, computer equipment, personal property, etc., should never be left unattended, even if our instructors/consultants and staff offer to look after these items during breaks, as we have no means of verifying and insuring the items and any losses that may occur. A Course is assumed to be progressing to the client’s satisfaction until a client points out to the instructor that it is not and details the differences between the pre-agreed course content and the content actually being delivered. If appropriate, the instructor may vary the content from that point on in line with requests, as long as all attendees agree and it is reasonable to expect the instructor to do so.
