Art.6 Data security and confidentiality

The Client guarantees to be legitimately provided with all the information entered on the website www.eipass.com to purchasing the Course and accessing the relevant Service, while also ensuring that this does not in any way infringe, directly or indirectly, the rights of third parties. Therefore, the client commits not to enter data that s/he is not entitled to dispose of. The client is also prohibited to enter false and/or fanciful data in the registration process, the enrolment procedure and in subsequent communications related to the execution of the agreement. If necessary, the client shall indemnify CERTIPASS:

The client expressly authorises the use of biometric data, automatically shown during the examination, at the request of the competent Authorities.

Art.7 Responsibilities and obligations

The client is obliged to make use of the training service purchased and to sit for the eventual final examination exclusively in person. S/he therefore undertakes to act in good faith and in particular not sell the product to third parties;
  • to attend to and visualise the online lessons and related assessment tests personally;
  • to work out the exercises and the final examination personally and without consultation of any media or other support of any kind, intended to plagiarise, including the help of third parties.
The substitution of a candidate sitting for the final examination is expressly forbidden, as well as behaviour the use of any device intended to unduly facilitate the examination in course. Any behaviour in bad faith, as well as the violation of the aforementioned obligations and prohibitions by the client, the list of which is not to be considered exhaustive, cannot in any way be tolerated by CERTIPASS, once this is likely to compromise its brand, reputation and dignity, through an act which is the Client's exclusive responsibility.  Thus the Company has the right to interrupt the supply of the service and, if necessary, to institute action through the competent Authority, to claim compensation for damages. The Client, therefore, exempts CERTIPASS, as the Supplier of the service, from any liability in the case of complaints, lawsuits, government or administrative actions, losses or damages arising from the client's or any related third party's bad faith or illicit use of the services offered by CERTIPASS, except for cases of misconduct or gross negligence of the Supplier. Thus the client expressly exempts CERTIPASS from any liability for direct and/or indirect damages in the case of services:
  • that the client him/herself or third parties may be subjected to, in relation to or owing to dependence on the supply of the Training Service, or as a result of the interruption of the operation of such;
  • that the client or third parties may in some way attribute to the non-delivery service due to absence of connectivity by the telecommunications network operator, or for the client's use of connectivity (not high-speed) which is technically incompatible with the Service, as well as for the non-use of the Training Course as a result of defects found by the client in the use of such, should this be due to the failure to comply with the minimum requirements of the system referred to art. 6, the verification of which is the responsibility of the client
  • caused by third parties who illegally access the online training course, owing to the client's negligence in securing the login and password assigned to him/her, or the absence of any other security measures required from the client;
  In no way shall the Supplier be held responsible for:
  • the malfunction of service resulting from faults, overloads, telephone lines or electric power outages, or the Internet connection;
  • failures of third parties that affect the provision of the Service, including, for example, the slowdowns in speed, or the malfunction of telephone lines and computers that operate the online activity between the client and the educational platform from which the Service is provided ;
  • fraudulent and/or undue use of credit cards by the client.
It is the sole responsibility of the client to ensure the functionality between the connectivity with which the client is equipped, and the platform from which the Service is provided. Furthermore, the Supplier shall not be held responsible for any breach of its obligations which derives from causes that cannot be reasonably foreseen, from constraints beyond the Supplier's direct and immediate control, or as a result of force majeure. In the eventuality of the aforementioned, or a case of force majeure, CERTIPASS shall inform the client via the website, giving the time envisaged for the regular reactivation of the Service. The client is obliged to keep CERTIPASS clear from all losses, damages, liability, costs, charges and expenses (including legal fees) that may have to be incurred by the Supplier as a result of any non-compliance with obligations that are to be borne by the Client on adhering to this Agreement or subscription Form, and are somehow related to the input of information on the website. The foregoing also applies, in the case of eventual claims for compensation for damages by third-parties in any capacity. Finally, the Client agrees to exempt CERTIPASS, as the Supplier, from any liability in the event of any reports lodged, legal actions instituted, government or administrative actions, losses or damages arising from the illicit use of the Service by the client or third parties. CERTIPASS does not provide any advice regarding the training requirements of the clients, consequently every responsibility regarding the correspondence between the didactic contents and the educational requirements of the client is entirely the responsibility of the purchaser. The Supplier shall not be held responsible for courses erroneously purchased by the client. The information and materials related to the courses provided are processed in full, reviewed and updated with accuracy and adequacy, due to activities of specialist support and advice offered by highly qualified professionals and experts in the design and production of the teaching material.

The Client shall not transfer to third parties any obligation or right originating from this Agreement, in the absence of prior written authorisation, issued at the Supplier's irrevocable discretion and communicated by the Supplier by registered or certified mail.
