Customer desires to use the Remote Proctor Solution to complete certain examination(s) in a proctored environment as an alternative to the human proctored environment so that Customer can complete these certain examination(s) at any time within the Usage Period. Customer acknowledges that payment for these examination(s) has been made prior to or at the time of executing this Usage Agreement and payment for the examination(s) is outside of this Usage Agreement. In the event there is a prerequisite training program prior to the examination, the customer acknowledges and understands that access to the examination will not be granted until the prerequisite is completed.

• The remote proctor solution uses your computer’s webcam and microphone to document video footage of your environment while you complete an online assessment using a supported web browser. Captured information includes your photo, a 360-degree view of your test-taking environment, audio from the room while taking the assessment, and screen captures/recordings of your computer screen. Once you complete your assessment, all recording ceases immediately. We encrypt the recorded data and securely store it on our servers, where it will be reviewed by authorized assessment personnel.
• The customer must provide a payment method during registration period based on what is accepted by AIAG. However, if they provide a purchase order the payment in full must be received before results and applicable certificates are distributed.
• The customer has only accessed the exam after the course portion has been completed.

USAGE PERIOD
The Usage Period is defined as the established timeframe indicated for the proctored examination(s) included in the enrollment offer. The Usage Period will end once the Customer completes the examination(s) included in the enrollment offer.

EXAMINATION RULES, RESTRICTIONS, AND HONOR CODE
