Public Schedule Courses (the "Agreement")

Important: Please carefully read the following terms and conditions. By accepting training from SAS, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, please contact your local Education Administrator.

In exchange for payment of the fees and any applicable taxes arising under this Agreement, SAS Software Limited ("SAS") will provide training courses (the "Course(s)") to the Customer, subject to the following terms:

  1. Payment Terms The Course fee must be paid in full prior to the Course start date. If Course fees are not paid on time, SAS reserves the right to allocate the Course place to another delegate. All transfer charges must be paid for on receipt of invoice.
  2. Course Prices SAS reserves the right to modify published Course prices at its sole discretion and without prior notification.
  3. Transferring Courses A delegate may transfer their booking to an alternate date provided ten (10) working days notice is given in writing (email, fax or letter).  If a delegate wishes to transfer a booking within ten (10) working days of the Course start date to a later Course occurrence there will be an administrative charge of 25% of the Course fee. If that transfer is then cancelled, or the delegate fails to attend, the full Course fee remains payable.
  4. Cancelling Courses All cancellations of Course bookings must be made more than ten (10) working days prior to the start date of the Course in writing (email, fax or letter). If a booking is cancelled within the ten (10) working days prior to the Course start date, or the delegate fails to attend, the full Course fee remains payable.
  5. Changing Delegate Details There will be no charge if a substitute person from your organisation replaces the original delegate on the same date and course. Please contact your local SAS Education office to confirm any change.
  6. Course Applications SAS reserves the right to decline the application of any delegate without prior notification.
  7. Cancellation of Courses by SAS SAS reserves the right to cancel a Course at any time without liability. In these circumstances, delegates will be offered an alternative date, an alternative location with travel discounts or a full refund of Course fees paid.
  8. Changes to Course Content SAS' Courses are constantly being reviewed, updated and improved and SAS reserves the right to alter any of the course content without prior notice. It may not be possible to cover all Course topics due to unforeseen circumstances, the Instructor will advise delegates when this is the case and may offer alternatives. Where necessary, the instructor will add appropriate, additional reading material.
  9. Confidentiality The Customer will implement reasonable measures to prevent SAS' inadvertent access to confidential information. SAS agrees to use reasonable endeavours to prevent any confidential information received in connection with and related to the Event(s), which is clearly marked or designated at the time of disclosure as "Confidential", from being revealed to third parties for a period of three (3) years from the date of disclosure.

    • (3) independently developed or acquired by SAS;
    • (4) known to SAS prior to receipt from the Customer; or
    • (5) revealed pursuant to court order or process of law. SAS will use reasonable endeavours to give the Customer notice of such order prior to disclosure. For the purposes of this clause, SAS' parent company, SAS Institute Inc., shall not be deemed a "third party." SAS' privacy statement can be found at www.sas.com/privacy.html
