Awatea Learn, and the District Health Board (DHB) through which you have access to Ko Awatea Learn. They do not create any third party beneficiary rights. If you do not comply with these terms and action is not taken immediately, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future). If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms.
