We recognise that many people are concerned about the privacy and protection of information as it is transmitted over the Internet. You should keep in mind that the possibility exists for unauthorised individuals to intercept any e-mail message you send over the Internet. In some cases, information can be encrypted (scrambled or encoded) to make it very difficult to read if it is intercepted during communication.
Certain technology and practices allow websites to provide an increased level of security for your personal information when appropriate. We are not responsible for the privacy of e-mail messages except those stored in our system.
We use the following practices on our website to enhance the level of security for communication and the transmission of personal information:
We have taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide.
We use e-mail forms to allow our customers to ask questions about our services and programmes. The possibility exists that unauthorised individuals may intercept email messages.
We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable UK law, the Institute shall not be liable, in any event, for any claims for damages or any other remedy in whatever jurisdiction whatsoever, whether in an action in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or any other theory of liability, whether in law or equity including, without limitation, claims for damages or any other remedy in whatever jurisdiction arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of software, documents or other information available from this server or the documents or pages that reside upon it.
The TEC Partnership will use reasonable endeavours to deliver programmes and other services in accordance with the descriptions provided. The Institute, however, reserves the right to make variations to course contents, fees, entry requirements and methods of delivery, to discontinue or merge or combine courses, and to make variations to regulations, both before and after a student’s admission to the Institute, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the TEC Partnership. Should industrial action or other circumstances beyond the control of the Institute occur, and this interferes with the TEC Partnership’s ability to deliver programmes or other services in accordance with the descriptions provided, the Institute will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so.
