1. These service levels apply where the Client is purchasing web-based electronic assessment services from the Company:

Such downtime will be notified on the Company Website or other such website as notified to the Client from time to time and via email to the project administrator or other designated employee of the Client.
   2. Candidate Data will be made available to the Client for a period of eighteen months from the date the Candidate completes the questionnaires or tests or until the date the assessment is anonymised at the request of the Client, whichever is earlier.

For the avoidance of doubt, the meaning of a response within this clause 4 will include an acknowledgement of the Client's initial email stating that a query has been raised, and shall not necessarily mean a resolution. Failure to respond within 2 Working Hours will entitle the Client to a payment equivalent to twenty pounds (£20) for every hour the queries are left unanswered, to a maximum of seven hundred and twenty pounds (£720.00).
   5. The Company makes no guarantee of resolving the problem.
   6. The Company will generate a price quote and time estimate for work to be performed based on the results of an investigation.
   7. The Client must give specific consent for work to proceed at the agreed price and the Company may decline to perform such requested work.

      1. 99.5% availability based on network average during the hours of 8am on Monday to 6pm on Friday UK time except UK public holidays and 99% availability at other times; and
      2. for every hour above the acceptable outages in a calendar month, the Company will make a reimbursement of 5% of the fees payable by the Client under the Contract during the relevant month to a maximum of 25% of the total fees payable. This is active only after a report of failure by the Client is received by the Company.
   10. The Company shall not be liable for any defect or failure in the performance of the web-based electronic assessment for reasons beyond the Company's control including but not limited to link failures, power difficulties, telephone outages, network overload, issues related to Client systems, default or failure of a third party, government actions, failure in the supply of a third party's access line or any event of Force Majeure.
   11. The Company reserves the right to terminate the use of any bespoke reports or Oasys systems previously delivered to Clients in the event that the reports or Oasys systems have, in the absolute discretion of the Company, low usage or activity. The Company will provide the Client with at least 90 days’ notice prior to terminating the use of such reports or Oasys systems.

   5. Participant substitutions can be accepted, without charge, at any time provided that the substitute fills the entrance requirement and has completed any pre-course study.
3. Qualification of Participants
   1.
