The LFC Content (as defined in section 6 of Part A of these Terms and Conditions), which shall include but not be limited to all content on the LFC eAcademy site and/or any other content provided as part of the LFC eAcademy is owned by or licensed to us and all rights in and to the aforementioned are reserved to us.
Your accessing and use of the LFC eAcademy
The LFC eAcademy is to be used by only one individual per username - however for the avoidance of doubt, where the participant is under eighteen (18) years of age and a parent or guardian is required to sign up and/or pay on behalf of the participant, such activity shall not cause a breach of this clause. In order to use the LFC eAcademy or access the content, you must (a) obtain access to the World Wide Web and pay any service fees associated with such access; (b) provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other necessary access device (c) use a modern browser which supports HTML 5 video (for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
