If the EC does not agree to the terms of this Client Agreement, it must not use the SchoolNet Openlab solution, and in so doing, forfeits its right to the fixed rate internet service provided by SchoolNet to the EC.

EC agrees and acknowledges: 1. This Agreement permits EC to use the SchoolNet Openlab open source solution and associated fixed rate internet access, which may include "online" (via the internet) or electronic documentation, on the computer(s) on which SchoolNet Openlab was installed at the time the EC received the SchoolNet Openlab solution. 2. All title and intellectual property rights in and to the SchoolNet Openlab solution are provided under GNU Public and other Open Source Licenses.

This Agreement does not grant the EC any rights to replace the Openlab solution with any other free, opensource or proprietary operating system, given the nature of SchoolNet’s service obligation to the EC under the TOS. 5.
