The individual completing the on-line enrollment on behalf of Customer represents and warrants that they have the authority to bind Customer to these Terms.
These Student Data Terms are incorporated by reference into the Adobe General Terms of Use ("General Terms" or “TOU”) located at https://www.adobe.com/legal/terms.html.
