Confidentiality<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Both parties agree to use Confidential Information only to perform obligations under these Terms.

Student Data is governed exclusively by Section 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Additional Services<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Coursivity may offer additional services, products, and tools, subject to these Terms or additional terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use of third-party services is at your own risk.

Privacy, Data Protection, and Student Data<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THIS SECTION IS THE CORE DATA GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK OF THIS AGREEMENT.

The Vendor\u2019s access to Student Data is a revocable privilege, not a right, and is contingent upon the Vendor\u2019s continued compliance with this Agreement and all applicable Data Protection Laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.2 Permitted Use of Student Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the term of an active, paid subscription in good standing, the Vendor may access and process Student Data only for the following purposes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fulfilling Course enrolments and delivering Course Content (including granting access, issuing completion certificates configured through Platform tools, and providing course-related communications).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Responding to Student enquiries and support requests submitted through the Platform\u2019s messaging system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating promotional offers or discount codes configured through the Platform\u2019s tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Viewing aggregate, anonymised analytics provided by the Platform\u2019s dashboard (where no individual Student can be identified).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Any processing of Student Data beyond the purposes listed above requires the prior written consent of Coursivity and, where required by applicable Data Protection Laws, the explicit consent of the affected Student(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.3 Prohibited Data Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Vendor shall not, under any circumstances:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Export, download, scrape, copy, or extract Student Data from the Platform in bulk or in any systematic manner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build, compile, or maintain an independent database, mailing list, CRM system, or data repository using Student Data obtained through the Platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sell, licence, rent, share, trade, disclose, or otherwise transfer Student Data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use Student Data for direct marketing or communications outside the Platform unless the Student has provided separate, specific, informed, and freely given consent directly to the Vendor outside the Platform, and such consent complies with all applicable Data Protection Laws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use Student Data for profiling, automated decision-making, credit scoring, or any form of algorithmic processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects on the Student.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attempt to re-identify, de-anonymise, or reverse-engineer any anonymised or aggregated data provided by the Platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retain Student Data beyond the period strictly necessary for a specific, identified, and lawful purpose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer Student Data to any jurisdiction that does not provide an adequate level of data protection without implementing appropriate safeguards as required by applicable Data Protection Laws (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses under GDPR, or equivalent mechanisms).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the Platform\u2019s communication tools, messaging features, or any Student contact information to redirect Students to external platforms, competing services, or off-platform transaction channels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Violation of any prohibition in this section constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Coursivity reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate the Vendor\u2019s Account, revoke all data access, pursue legal remedies including injunctive relief, and report the violation to the relevant Data Protection Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.4 Data Access Revocation and Termination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon termination, cancellation, suspension, or expiry of the Vendor\u2019s subscription or Account for any reason:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All Vendor access to Student Data shall be revoked immediately and automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Vendor shall have no right to request, receive, download, export, or otherwise obtain any Student Data, whether in whole or in part, in any format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Student Data shall not be included in any data export, account download, backup, or migration package provided to the Vendor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any Student Data the Vendor has previously accessed or obtained through the Platform must be securely deleted or destroyed by the Vendor within seven (7) calendar days of termination, including all copies, backups, and derivatives, in all systems, databases, and media under the Vendor\u2019s control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Vendor shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days of termination, provide Coursivity with a signed written certification confirming the complete and irreversible deletion or destruction of all Student Data in the Vendor\u2019s possession or control.

The Vendor shall comply within seven (7) calendar days and confirm deletion in writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.7 Data Breach Notification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of any actual or reasonably suspected breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to Student Data (\u201cData Breach\u201d):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Vendor shall notify Coursivity without undue delay and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the Data Breach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The notification shall include: (i) the nature and scope of the breach; (ii) the categories and approximate number of affected Students; (iii) the likely consequences; and (iv) the measures taken or proposed to address and mitigate the breach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coursivity shall determine whether and how to notify affected Students and relevant Data Protection Authorities, in accordance with applicable notification timelines (e.g., 72 hours under GDPR Art. 33; as soon as reasonably possible under POPIA s.22).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Vendor shall cooperate fully with Coursivity\u2019s investigation and remediation efforts and shall not make any public statement about the Data Breach without Coursivity\u2019s prior written approval.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Vendor shall bear all costs and liabilities arising from a Data Breach caused by the Vendor\u2019s acts, omissions, negligence, or breach of this Agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.8 International Data Transfers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Data may be stored and processed in jurisdictions outside the Student\u2019s country of residence, in accordance with this section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where Student Data is transferred from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to a jurisdiction not recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection, Coursivity shall ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including: Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission, binding corporate rules, or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where Student Data is transferred from South Africa, Coursivity shall ensure compliance with Section 72 of POPIA, including that the recipient is subject to a law, binding agreement, or binding corporate rules providing an adequate level of protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vendors shall not independently transfer Student Data to any jurisdiction outside the jurisdiction in which it was collected without Coursivity\u2019s prior written authorisation and without ensuring all applicable cross-border data transfer requirements are satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.9 Data Retention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coursivity shall retain Student Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, and to protect its legitimate interests. Specific retention periods are set out in the Coursivity Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vendor shall not retain Student Data for longer than is strictly necessary, and in any event no longer than 90 calendar days from the date of the relevant transaction or course completion, unless a longer period is required by applicable law (e.g., tax record-keeping). Upon the earlier of: (a) the Vendor no longer needing the data; or (b) the expiry of the 90-day period, the Vendor shall securely delete the Student Data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.10 Subprocessors and Third-Party Sharing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vendor shall not engage any subprocessor, subcontractor, or third-party service provider to process Student Data without Coursivity\u2019s prior written authorisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where authorisation is granted, the Vendor shall ensure the subprocessor is bound by written data protection obligations no less protective than those in this Agreement, and the Vendor shall remain fully liable for the acts and omissions of any authorised subprocessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.11 Representations and Warranties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vendor represents and warrants that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It shall comply with all applicable Data Protection Laws in its processing of Student Data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It has implemented and shall maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including: encryption of Personal Information in transit and at rest; access controls and authentication mechanisms; regular security testing; and staff training on data protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It shall process Student Data only on documented instructions from Coursivity, and shall immediately inform Coursivity if an instruction infringes applicable Data Protection Laws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It shall ensure that persons authorised to process Student Data have committed to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It shall make available to Coursivity all information necessary to demonstrate compliance and shall allow for and contribute to audits conducted by Coursivity or an auditor mandated by Coursivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.12 Governing Privacy Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The collection, use, and protection of Personal Information by Coursivity is further governed by the Coursivity Privacy Policy (https:\/\/coursivity.com\/privacy-policy) and the POPIA Compliance Statement (https:\/\/coursivity.com\/privacy). In the event of conflict between this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, this Agreement shall prevail. The Privacy Policy shall be updated to reflect changes in applicable Data Protection Laws, and the most current published version shall apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Coursivity Contracting Party and Jurisdiction<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The contracting party is Coursivity (Flava Machines(Pty) Ltd).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jurisdiction: These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. The parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the South African courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Coursivity reserves the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction worldwide to protect its rights, including protection of Student Data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where a Vendor or Student is located in the EEA, United Kingdom, or any jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection or data protection laws that cannot be waived by contract, nothing in these Terms shall limit the rights of such person under those mandatory laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Term and Termination<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>You may cancel your Account at any time by contacting Coursivity Support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coursivity may terminate your account at any time, without notice, for any reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon termination for any reason:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All Services cease immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outstanding fee balances become immediately due and payable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Account and Store are taken offline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All Vendor access to Student Data is revoked immediately and irrevocably, per Section 12.4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You may request an export of Vendor Data (excluding Student Data) per Section 12.5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must certify deletion of all Student Data in your possession within fourteen (14) calendar days, per Section 12.4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Student accounts, enrolment records, course progress, and all Student Data remain on the Platform and are unaffected by Vendor termination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students who have purchased or enrolled in your Courses retain access to those Courses for the duration specified in their enrolment terms, subject to Coursivity\u2019s discretion regarding continued hosting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Termination does not relieve you of obligations incurred prior to termination, including outstanding fees, indemnification, data deletion, and confidentiality obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following sections survive termination: Definitions; Section 4.1; Section 4.2; Section 6; Section 7; Section 8; Section 12 (entire); Section 13; this Section 14; Section 15; and Section 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Dispute Resolution<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation for thirty (30) calendar days from the date one party notifies the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If not resolved, either party may refer the dispute to mediation administered by the Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa (AFSA), or for international disputes, the ICC Mediation Rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If mediation does not resolve the dispute within sixty (60) calendar days, either party may commence litigation per Section 13. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent interim relief at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any dispute relating to misuse, unauthorised access, or breach of Student Data obligations may be referred directly to litigation or regulatory action without first attempting negotiation or mediation, given the time-sensitive nature of data protection matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Modifications<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Coursivity reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. For material changes (including changes to Section 12, data handling obligations, or pricing), Coursivity shall provide at least thirty (30) calendar days\u2019 advance notice via email. Non-material changes may be made without prior notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you disagree, your sole remedy is to terminate your Account before the effective date, subject to Section 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. General Conditions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Coursivity, superseding all prior agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Terms are binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right shall constitute a waiver.

Coursivity may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all its assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship between the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On termination, certain sections survive as specified in Section 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ACKNOWLEDGEMENT<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By creating a Coursivity Account, clicking \u201cI Agree,\u201d or using any Coursivity Services, the Vendor acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the Course Content disclaimer provisions of Section 4.2 and the data protection and Student Data provisions of Section 12.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u00a9 Coursivity \u2014 Flava Machines (Pty) Ltd.
