Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Circus Street, Client shall pay the License Fee in advance of Client’s and Users’ ability to access or use any of the Lessons within the Lesson License or Full Access License for the Initial Access Term on or before the Launch Date, and for each subsequent Renewal Access Term on or before the commencement of the relevant Renewal Access Term.
Circus Street may increase the Fee by no less than two months’ prior notice to take effect at the commencement of a Renewal Access Term.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Circus Street, Client shall pay the Consultancy Services Fee monthly in arrears for the Consultancy Services supplied in that month (provided that Circus Street may require payment for any known Consultancy Services Fees in advance of providing the Consultancy Services).
All sums due to Circus Street are exclusive of taxes (if applicable) which Client shall pay to Circus Street in addition at the same time as payment of the Fee.
Payment of all sums due under the Agreement shall be made by Client without any set-off, deduction or withholding whatsoever.
Payments under this Agreement shall be made in US dollars.
Circus Street may issue an invoice to Client for the Fee.
Client shall pay Circus Street the Fee in accordance with Sections 8.1 (and in any event, within 28 days of the date of Circus Street’s invoice). Client shall pay Circus Street by any payment method reasonably stipulated by Circus Street or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.
No payment shall be considered to be paid until it is received by Circus Street in cleared funds. Client and its Users shall not have a right to access a Lesson until Client has paid the relevant Fee and applicable taxes in full.
If the laws of any jurisdiction where Client is located require Client to withhold tax on any payment which Client is obliged to make to Circus Street under this Agreement, the Parties shall use their respective reasonable efforts to conduct their accounting arrangements where legally possible to avoid the application of withholding tax (such as for Client to contract and pay through a company in a jurisdiction where withholding tax would not apply). If withholding tax does apply, Client shall:
(a) obtain a proper receipt and discharge for the tax so deducted and forward it without delay to Circus Street;
(b) do all such other things and take such other steps as may be reasonably required to enable Circus Street to obtain any tax credit which may be available to it in connection with any such tax payment; and
(c) in the event that any taxes deducted cannot be used by Circus Street as a credit against any tax payable by Circus Street, Client at such time or times as Circus Street reasonably requires shall pay to Circus Street any deficiency in the amount payable to Circus Street attributable to such tax deductions.
If Client is late in paying any amount of monies due to Circus Street (under the Agreement or under any other agreement between Circus Street and Client), Circus Street may (without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it whether under the Agreement or any other agreement between Circus Street and Client or by any statute, regulation or otherwise) do either or both of the following:
(a) charge interest and other charges on the amount due but unpaid at the rate of 2% per month calculated on the basis of a year of 12 months of 30 days each or such lesser rate as shall be the maximum amount permitted by law from time to time from the due date until payment, such interest to be determined on a day to day basis and to be compounded monthly; or
(b) give Client at least five Business Days’ notice that it is suspending Client’s and Users’ access to the Product with immediate effect until Circus Street receives the outstanding amounts in full.
In addition to its rights of suspension under Section 8.11, Circus Street reserves the right to suspend or disables access to and use of the Product by Client and Users if: (a) Circus Street reasonably suspects that Client or any User is in breach of this Agreement (or any agreement between Circus Street and Client) or the User Rules; or (b) Circus Street reasonably believes that there is likely to be or has been a breach of security, or misuse of any username or password of Client or its Users or use of the Product by an individual or organization who is not (or no longer is) a User; or (c) Client or any User is misusing the Product or infringing Circus Street’s Intellectual Property Rights. This suspension may be upon one (1) Business Day notice and whether by use of a code, by disabling access on its servers, by remote access or by physical attendance at any place where the Product is being accessed from or otherwise. If Circus Street suspends or disables access to and use of the Product by Client and Users pursuant to this Section 9.1, it shall promptly inform Client following such suspension providing Client with reasons for such suspension in order that Client can address the concerns raised by Circus Street and/or remedy the same to Circus Street’s reasonable satisfaction, at which point Circus Street shall lift the suspension.
Either Circus Street or Client may terminate the Agreement by notifying the other Party in writing with immediate effect if:
(a) the other Party is in material breach of any of its obligations under the Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties which are incapable of remedy; or
(b) the other Party fails to remedy, if capable of remedy, any material breach of any of its obligations under the Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties after having been notified in writing to remedy such breach within a period of no more than 30 days.
If Client files a petition in bankruptcy or is adjudicated bankrupt or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed against Client or if Client becomes insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or an arrangement pursuant to any bankruptcy law is made affecting Client, or if Client discontinues its business or if a receiver is appointed for Client or Client’s business, the rights and license hereby granted to Client shall automatically terminate forthwith without any notice being necessary.
Upon termination of the Agreement:
(a) Client shall and shall cause all Users to, immediately cease accessing and using the Product and any Product Content and Hosted Service and cease using any username or password in relation to the Product and Hosted Service;
(b) each Party may at its option require the other Party to promptly delete the Confidential Information of the other Party from any computer disks, devices, tapes, memory, storage or other material in the other Party’s possession or under that other Party’s control or promptly deliver or destroy materials and tangible items in the other Party’s possession or under the other Party’s control which contain any Confidential Information of the Party requiring the action (including Client causing Users to do likewise).

(g) The Parties hereto shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Agreement and all rights and remedies available under difficult applicable law. The Parties acknowledge that a breach of the covenants contained in this Article IX may cause irreparable damage, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain and that remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in addition to all other available remedies (including without limitation seeking such damages as can be shown to have been sustained by reason of such breach) the non-defaulting Party shall be entitled to (i) specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable relief without being required to post bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the remedies available at law and (ii) the reimbursement of any and all reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred by the non-breaching Party in seeking such relief and exercising its rights and remedies hereunder.
Termination of the Agreement shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which the Parties may be entitled to under the Agreement or at law or in equity and will not affect any rights or liabilities of either Party nor there becoming effective or continuing in force and effect any provision which is expressly or otherwise intended to become effective or continue in force and effect as of or after such termination.

(b) THAT THE PRODUCT WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH CLIENT SYSTEMS OTHER THAN THOSE MEETING THE MINIMUM SPECIFICATION; OR

The Party unable to perform shall inform the other Party in writing of such an event and its expected duration as soon as reasonably possible. If any force majeure event prevents a Party from performing its obligations hereunder in any material respect for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, the other Party shall have the right to terminate the Agreement upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Party subject to such a force majeure event.
Neither Party shall use or disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party except:
(a) for the purposes of the proper performance of its obligation or exercise of its rights under this Agreement;
(b) as otherwise permitted by this Agreement; or
(c) with the prior written consent of the other Party.
A Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to its User, Administrator, employee, officer, director, contractor, consultant, subcontractor, supplier, customer, agent, professional adviser, insurer or third-party service provider, where necessary to exercise its rights or properly perform its obligations under this Agreement, provided that it shall do so subject to obligations equivalent to those set out in this Article XII.

(b) was in its written records prior to receipt;
(c) was independently developed by it; or
(d) was independently disclosed to it by a third-party entitled to disclose the same and not subject to a confidentiality obligation.
Circus Street may identify Client as its client and the type of Services provided by Circus Street to Client, provided that in doing so Circus Street shall not (without Client’s prior written consent) reveal any Confidential Information of Client.
The obligations under this Article XII shall survive and continue after termination of this Agreement for whatever reason.
The provisions of this Article XIII will be applicable to and are agreed to by Client and Circus Street. All references to Data Protection Laws in this Article XIII are intended to and shall include UK and EEA Data Protection Laws, as currently in effect or may be in effect in the future.

(a) comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws; and
(b) procure that its Users, Administrators, employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers, comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws.
The Parties agree that, to the extent possible, Client shall ensure that any data is provided to Circus Street upon an anonymous basis and does not contain any Personal Data, before it is provided to Circus Street. The Parties agree and acknowledge that to the extent that the data provided by Client or a User or an Administrator to Circus Street contains Personal Data (which may include User Data and Personal Data about an Administrator) and in respect of Circus Street’s obligations under this Agreement as to any such “Personal Data”, Circus Street is merely a “Data Processor” and Client is the “Data Controller” (as those terms, together with the terms “processing” and “process” and “Data Subject” are defined in the Data Protection Laws), and the following provisions in this Article XIII apply in respect of such Personal Data.
Circus Street shall process the Personal Data only to the extent, and in such a manner, as is necessary for the purposes of providing the Services under this Agreement and in accordance with Client’s documented instructions from time to time and shall not process the Personal Data for any other purpose.
In accordance with Client’s reasonable request, Circus Street shall provide sufficient guarantees to Client as to Circus Street’s processing of the Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Laws. As Data Controller, Client shall take overall responsibility for ensuring that Circus Street’s processing complies with Data Protection Laws and Client shall provide confirmation to Circus Street that Circus Street’s measures are sufficient to comply with Data Protection Laws. Where necessary, Client shall engage its own experts to verify such compliance by Circus Street.
Circus Street shall promptly comply with any reasonable request from Client requiring Circus Street to provide details of the Personal Data or amend, transfer or delete the Personal Data (whether or not at Client’s request, or in response to a Data Subject’s rights under Data Protection Laws), provided that Client shall reimburse Circus Street for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in so complying.
Circus Street warrants that, where it processes Personal Data, it shall take appropriate security measures to conform to Data Protection Laws, including appropriate technical and organizational measures against the unauthorized or unlawful processing of Personal Data and against the accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk in accordance with Data Protection Laws.
Circus Street shall inform Client immediately in writing if it becomes aware of any unauthorized or unlawful processing, loss of, damage to or destruction of, Personal Data.
Client shall take overall responsibility for any Personal Data breach obligations under Data Protection Laws.

Circus Street shall not transfer the Personal Data outside the United Kingdom (of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) or European Economic Area or any other jurisdiction where the Client is located or requires the Personal Data to be processed, without the express prior written consent of Client, except to:
(a) Circus Street’s sub-processor who assists with providing support services for Circus Street; or
(b) Circus Street’s sub-processor who provides communications by email on behalf of Circus Street; or
(c) Circus Street’s Affiliates in other countries, to assist Circus Street with an efficient provision of Circus Street’s services to Client (including for provision of available assistance, information and reporting to Client);
in each case solely for that purpose. Where any such transfer does take place, Circus Street shall do so on a basis which complies with Data Protection Laws.
Client shall ensure that its instructions and requirements under this Agreement conform with applicable Data Protection Laws.
Client shall be responsible as Data Controller with providing each Data Subject (including the relevant Users and Administrators) at the appropriate time with a transparency or information notice (including describing the data, purpose, legal basis for processing, recipient, duration and the Data Subject’s rights) to ensure fair and lawful processing of the Personal Data in accordance with Data Protection Laws.
Client agrees that Circus Street may authorize a third party (sub-processor) to process the Personal Data on behalf of Circus Street (for the provision of hosting services, support services, communications by email and the provision of assistance, information and reporting to Client), provided that:
(a) Circus Street’s contract with the sub-processor is on terms which fully reflect and do not contradict or override those set out in this Article XIII;
(b) the sub-processor’s rights and obligations in relation to the processing of Client’s Personal Data terminate automatically on termination of this Agreement for any reason; and
(c) Circus Street informs Client in writing of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of sub-processors, thereby giving Client a reasonable opportunity to make known to Circus Street any concerns that Client may have.
Circus Street shall provide all reasonable assistance and co-operation with Client at Client’s cost and allow Client to conduct audits or otherwise demonstrate compliance at reasonable times and on reasonable prior written warning at Client’s cost, in order to ensure and demonstrate compliance with Data Protection Laws.
The terms defined in this Article XIII shall be construed in accordance with any change in definitions in Data Protection Laws from time to time. For example, a reference to “Data Controller” shall, once the GDPR applies, be construed as a reference to “controller” as that term is defined in the GDPR.
In connection with Personal Data subject to Other Data Protection Laws in jurisdictions in circumstances in which UK or EEA Data Protection Laws are not applicable, the provisions of this Article XIV will be applicable to Client and Circus Street.
To the extent Circus Street processes any Personal Data on behalf of Client or a User, it shall only process such Personal Data for the purposes of providing Services under this Agreement in accordance with Client’s instructions and shall take appropriate technical and organizational measures against the unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data and against the accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data. Client acknowledges that Circus Street may process certain Personal Data about individuals (including Users) in order to provide access to the Product and Website; and that data may include name, Client address, email address, telephone number, position or role at Client, username and password.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under any enactment, rule of law or judicial determination, such provision or part shall to that extent be severed from the Agreement and rendered ineffective as far as possible without modifying or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Agreement which will remain in full force and effect.

ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS (WHETHER OF SUCH STATE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

Welcome to Circus Street Lessons. We hope that you find them interesting and a rewarding experience.
Your employer or other organisation you work with is our ‘Client’, also known as your ‘Sponsor’ in our service and we refer to you as a ‘Learner’ or ‘User’. We, ‘Circus Street’, are the ‘Service Provider’. Depending on which entity your Sponsor has contracted with, ‘Circus Street’ for you will be either (a) Circus Street Inc, USA (The Americas) or (b) Circus Street (SG) Pte., Singapore (Asia Pacific) or (c) Circus Street London Limited (Rest of the World including Europe). The Circus Street group of companies work interchangeable to provide our service.
Our Lessons contain proprietary content, so these are a few basic rules that apply to your use of them (our ‘Service’). If you do not wish to abide by these rules, then you should not proceed to take the Lesson and advise your Sponsor of the reasons so that they can re-assign your licence. For any questions about how we support your Sponsor in providing you with the Service, please ask your Sponsor.
You will have a Learner Account that is individual to you and so you can access the particular Lessons that have been obtained for you by your Sponsor. We have agreed with your Sponsor for us to provide you with the Service, but provided that you first agree to these User Rules.
1. If your Sponsor has asked us to enable our Service to be accessible through their Single-Sign-On authentication process, then you will gain access to your Lessons automatically by signing on using their system. If no Single-Sign-On has been set up, then you will be provided with a user name and initial password when you agree to these User Rules. You will be required to change the password to one of your own choice. You must choose a sufficiently strong password that meets the complexity rules shown on the login screen and your Sponsor's password rules and keep it confidential and not share it with anyone else.
2. If you forget your password, or have other difficulties in getting access to your Lessons, you should contact your Sponsor's Administrator. If they cannot resolve your issue, they will ask you to contact Circus Street Learner Support for assistance.
3. If you suspect someone else knows your password or has been using it to access Lessons, please tell your Sponsor's Administrator immediately.
4. If you email Circus Street Learner Support (support@circusstreet.com), we may reset your password in order that we can reproduce the problem. When we have resolved your issue, you should change your password promptly to again make sure it is known only by you.
5. Your licence to use our Service is specific to you. You must therefore not allow your learner credentials to be used by any other person.
6. Do not try to use someone else's user name or password and do not interfere with anyone else's use of the Lessons, and do not do anything that could adversely affect us, our Service or the Lessons we provide.
7. We have invested in our Lesson materials to give a high quality learning experience. Anything you see on screen and its soundtrack are our intellectual property and protected by copyright law. You must not attempt to record them, or display them for more than your personal use. Doing so would constitute copyright infringement, and we may take action against anyone who infringes our copyright. You must not (yourself or with others) reproduce, download, copy, publish, post, broadcast, transmit, sell, license, distribute, circulate, make available, alter, modify, translate, decompile, recompile or reverse engineer any of the Lessons. We reserve all our rights in the Lessons. If you have any questions, please ask your Sponsor's Administrator.
8. You agree to reasonably co-operate with us and your Sponsor regarding your use of the Lessons.
9. When you put into use anything you have seen, heard or learnt from the Lessons, you need to consider whether it is appropriate for your own use, for your circumstances and in the place where you are located. Any decisions based on the Lessons are the Sponsor's and User's responsibility.
10. Our agreement is with your Sponsor. We have no liability to individual Users (except as the law requires otherwise).
11. We may suspend or terminate your Learner Account and advise your Sponsor of this, if we have sufficient reason to believe that you have not followed these User Rules or if our agreement with your Sponsor ends or is suspended. Access may also be suspended temporarily due to events beyond our reasonable control or when there is maintenance. Where possible, we try to give your Sponsor's Administrator reasonable prior warning of planned downtime.
12. If your Learner Account is suspended or terminated, do not try to access the Lessons unless we have agreed that you can.
13. We may change these User Rules periodically. Accessing the Lessons after you have been informed of a change of these User Rules would amount to accepting the updated User Rules.
