For the purposes of the foregoing, a “Qualified Institute” means a public or private accredited organization located at a single address whose primary purpose is to provide educational instruction, including services which are rendered in conjunction with such purpose, and which is designated by Us as a Qualified Institute. The institution must be a preschool, primary school, secondary school, vocational school, correspondence school, junior college, college, higher education college, polytechnic, university or scientific or technical institute accredited by associations recognized by their relevant ministry or department of education. Qualified Institute includes institutions which are either supervisory or organizations of any entity meeting the qualifications set out above, such as, departments of education, boards of education, local education authorities, ministries of education, and school district administrative officials, or hospitals which are wholly owned or affiliated to an educational institution. Contact Us via Our Academic Software web page (www.mindmanager.com/en/pages/mindmanager-uses-education-training/) or Your local reseller to determine whether You are a Qualified Institute and to learn more about Our academic programs and products. If a question arises as to whether You are a Qualified Institute, Our determination shall prevail.
5.2. A Site License might be available to a Qualified Institute for an Academic Version in the jurisdiction where the Qualified Institute is located. By "Site License", We mean a Subscription License that entitles You to allow an unspecified number of Academic Users to access and use the Software through Your Virtualization Environment, on and from multiple devices at different instances of time and from any location. Under a Site License You may also allow each Academic User to install a copy of the Academic Version on no more than one device. You shall ensure that no Academic User may access, run and/or use the Software from or on two or more devices simultaneously at any given time. Should You or any of Your Academic Users access, run or use Software on two or more devices simultaneously, the Software may disable the access from all devices.

You are not entitled to use an Academic Version of the Software unless Your Users are faculty, staff member or degree, diploma, or certificate-seeking students and You are a Business Customer that is a Qualified Institute. An Academic Version may include work products and other data which may contain certain notices and limitations that make the data unusable outside the educational use area ("Work Product"). If You or any Users combine or link data which You or any of Your Users create with Academic Versions of the Software with any Work Product, then that data may also be affected by these notices and limitations. Fees for a Site License may vary according to jurisdiction and may be chargeable on the basis of different bands of numbers of Academic Users or number of full-time employees of a Qualified Institute.
