4. DELIVERY OF INFORMATION.
When using and/or to facilitate the operation of certain features of the GK Website, you may provide Global Knowledge with additional content or information (a "Posting"). In connection with delivering and providing to Global Knowledge any such Posting, you hereby and automatically grant to Global Knowledge a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable right and license (through multiple tiers) to copy, distribute, create derivative works from, display, modify, reformat, transmit, and otherwise use any such content or information as necessary in connection with the GK Website and Global Knowledge's service obligations in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term of any rights that may exist in such content or information.

Additional notices, terms, and conditions may apply to membership, receipt of services, participation in a particular program, conference, training, or seminar, Authorized User registration with the GK Website, and/or to other specific portions or features of the GK Website, all of which are made a part of this TOS by this reference. In particular, this TOS, in and of itself, shall not entitle you to any of the Global Knowledge membership benefits until you execute and Global Knowledge accepts Global Knowledge's member services agreement with Global Knowledge.

6. USER NAME HANDLING POLICY.
Registration as an Authorized User for access to certain areas of the GK Website may require both a user name and a password. Only one Authorized User can use one user name and password and, thus, one account. By limiting access, it helps avoid unauthorized usage by other persons or entities because anyone with knowledge of both your user name and password can gain entry to the GK Website and to your account. Accordingly, by using the GK Website, you agree to consider your user name and password as confidential information and to keep your user name and password confidential. You also agree not to use another Authorized User's user name and password. You will immediately notify Global Knowledge if you become aware of any loss or theft of your password or any unauthorized use of your user name and password. Global Knowledge cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations. Global Knowledge reserves the right to delete or change (with notice) a user name or password at any time and for any reason.
7. PRIVACY POLICY.
You understand, acknowledge, and agree that the operation of certain programs, services, tools, materials, or information of the GK Website requires the submission, use, and dissemination of various personal identifying information. Accordingly, if you wish to access and use those programs, services, tools, materials, or information of the GK Website, you acknowledge and agree that your use of the GK Website will constitute acceptance of Global Knowledge's personal identifying information collection and use practices. Please see Global Knowledge's Privacy Policy for Global Knowledge's personal identifying information collection and use practices.

Please do not post any content or information of a personal nature, such as video or audio of friends and family. Please be succinct and stay on topic within a particular Forum. Please remember to respect others and their opinions. Global Knowledge encourages open and sincere communication, but urges all Authorized Users to remember that Forums are intended to be a resource for all.
9. PERMISSION TO USE POSTINGS.
You represent that you have all necessary rights to make the Posting available to Global Knowledge and a Forum, and you also acknowledge that such Postings are non-confidential for all purposes and that Global Knowledge has no control over the extent to which any idea or information may be used by any party or person once it is posted or displayed. Accordingly, notwithstanding this right and license, it is understood that by merely permitting your information, content, and materials to appear on the GK Website, Global Knowledge has not become and is not a publisher of such information, content, and materials and is merely functioning as an intermediary to enable you to provide and display a Posting.

Moreover, it is a policy of Global Knowledge to take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act under U.S. Copyright Law and other applicable intellectual property laws.

You agree that Global Knowledge may assign any rights, duties or benefits under this TOS or then entire TOS to any of its subsidiaries or affiliates at any time without notice. Failure by Global Knowledge to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of this TOS will not operate as a waiver by Global Knowledge of that or any subsequent default or failure of performance. If any provision (or part thereof) contained in this TOS is determined to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or on account of a conflict with an applicable government regulation, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions (or parts thereof) contained herein and the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause shall be modified in compliance with applicable law in a manner that most closely matches the intent of the original language.
