Client represents and warrants that it has the requisite training and any required certifications to access and use Pearson assessment instruments and that use of such assessment instruments for human resource or pre-employment screening will be subject all applicable laws (which includes applicable anti-discrimination and equalities provisions). Client also agrees that it will administer or use any tests or surveys purchased from Pearson in a manner consistent with all professional, ethical, and regulatory guidelines and standards.

Access to purchased assessments that have not been administered shall expire after twelve months. 

2.6    Maintenance of Confidentiality. Client agrees to take diligent and reasonable steps to keep the Assessment Services and processes confidential and free from unauthorized access or use, and not to divulge, provide, or make the Assessment Services available to a third person, unless said person is under Client’s direct professional supervision.
