At Aquilla Training, we’ve built our business on the simple principle that our customers come first. We aim to keep our website, mobile site and related software applications (“Website”), as well as the service offered on our Website (“Service”) safe for everyone to use, and data security is of the utmost importance. If you have discovered a security vulnerability in our Website or Service, we encourage you to contact us and disclose it to us in a responsible manner.
When security vulnerabilities are reported to us in compliance with this policy, Aquilla Training will validate and fix such vulnerabilities as soon as reasonably possible, in line with our commitment to the privacy, safety and security of our customers. We will not take legal action against you or terminate your access to the Service if you discover and report security vulnerabilities responsibly in compliance with this policy. Aquilla Training reserves all of its legal rights in the event of any noncompliance with this policy.
If you are looking to report another type of issue, which falls outside of the scope of this policy, for example if you are a current customer and you suspect fraudulent activity or suspect that your account may have been compromised, please contact us. Your issue will be investigated immediately and thoroughly.
Reporting a Security Vulnerability
If you think that you have found a security vulnerability in our Website or Service, please contact us immediately. When reporting a security vulnerability, you must do the following:
- Include as much information as possible in your report, as we require a way to reproduce the security vulnerability in order to validate and fix it. “Proof-of-Concept” programs, tools, or test accounts that you’ve created are welcome, and the following information is required:
- the URL where the vulnerability occurs;
- if applicable, the parameter where the vulnerability occurs;
- the type of the vulnerability;
- a step-by-step instruction how to reproduce the vulnerability;
- a demonstration of the vulnerability, by screenshots or video; and
- if applicable, an attack scenario (an example attack scenario may help demonstrate the risk and get the issue resolved faster).
- Do not share your findings with anyone until Aquilla Training has had adequate time to investigate and deploy a fix. We will notify you when the security vulnerability has been patched.
- Consider telling us how to identify you.
We’re particularly interested in:
- XSS attacks
- SQL injection
- Remote code execution
- Circumventing permission limitations
- CSRF attacks
Restrictions
At Aquilla Training, we welcome “white hat” security researchers, and appreciate your research and proactive responsible disclosure. Please note however that Aquilla Training does not permit you to do any of the following:
- access, modify or destroy a Aquilla Training customer’s account or data;
- interrupt or degrade our Service;
- execute a “Denial of Service” attack;
- post, transmit, upload, link to, send or store any malicious software;
- send any unsolicited or unauthorized mail or messages;
- violate any applicable law;
- perform any testing that would result in any of the above; or
- attempt to do any of the above.
Contravening this policy in any way may result in us suspending or terminating your access to the service, contacting the relevant authorities and/or pursuing any other remedies we have at law.
Our Commitment
If you identify a security vulnerability in compliance with this policy, Aquilla Training commits to:
- acknowledging receipt of your vulnerability report in a timely manner;
- confirming the validity of your report; and

IMPLEMENTATION CHECKLIST
Companies can assess the amount of preparation needed to ready themselves for the implementation of the Protection of Personal Information Bill (“POPI”) by considering the following minimum requirements:
- Audit the processes used to collect, record, store, disseminate and destroy personal information: in particular, companies must ensure the integrity and safekeeping of personal information in their possession or under their control. They must take steps to prevent the information being lost or damaged, or unlawfully accessed.
- Define the purpose of the information gathering and processing: personal information must be collected for a specific, explicitly defined and lawful purpose that is related to a function or activity of the company concerned.
- Limit the processing parameters: the processing must be lawful and personal information may only be processed if it is adequate, relevant and not excessive given the purpose for which it is processed.
- Take steps to notify the ‘data subject’: the individual whose information is being processed has the right to know this is being done and why. The data subject must be told the name and address of the company processing their information. In addition, he or she must be informed as to whether the provision of the information is voluntary or mandatory.
- Check the rationale for any further processing: if information is received via a third party for further processing, this further processing must be compatible with the purpose for which the data was initially collected.
- Ensure information quality: the company processing the information must make sure the information is complete, accurate, up to date and not misleading.
- Notify the information Protection Regulator: when the POPI is enacted and a Regulator established, organisations processing personal information will have to notify the Regulator about their actions.
- Accommodate data subject requests: the POPI allows data subjects to make certain requests, free of charge, to organisations holding their personal information. For instance, the data subject has the right to know the identity of all third parties that have had access to their information. A data subject can also ask for a record of the information concerned.
- Retain records for required periods: personal information must be destroyed, deleted or ‘de-identified’ as soon as the purpose for collecting the information has been achieved. However, a record of the information must be retained if an organisation has used it to make a decision about the data subject. The record must be kept for a period long enough for the data subject to request access to it.
- Cross border data transfer: there are restrictions on the sending of personal information out of South Africa as well as on the transfer of personal information back into South Africa. The applicable restrictions will depend on the laws of the country to whom the data is transferred or from where the data is returned, as the case may be.

We respect your privacy. Please read the full privacy policy as it applies to you.

We take security very seriously. Our servers have been rigorously checked to ensure that they are not vulnerable to unauthorised access and activity on the servers is continually monitored by our service providers.
Cancellation Policy
Please refer to our Cancellation Policy for more information about cancelling training (and related refunds or venue changes). The Cancellation Policy is incorporated by reference (which means that it forms part of these Terms and Conditions).
Prices
The prices displayed for training are not Vatable at this stage.
Delivery costs are only charged on books that you want to order separately from this agreement, through blueagle.co.za.
Though we endeavour to ensure that the prices displayed on the website are accurate, we might offer certain specials for training at any time and it is impossible for us to monitor the prices of all individual services and products manually. In such cases, we shall not be obliged to sell the product at the erroneous price, and will correct erroneous prices as soon as we become aware of them.
Displaying a price on the website does not constitute any undertaking by us to maintain that price for any length of time. We will always endeavour to complete your registration at the price quoted at the time of the purchase, but in cases of erroneous pricing or our specially priced training, we may cancel all or a portion of your order and fully refund any advance payments that you have made toward the affected services as long as the material was not downloaded or opened.
Payments
If you pay by credit card, we will authorise (reserve) the amount of the order at the time of the order being placed and we will debit the card as soon as we actually start processing the order. Any subsequent cancellations will be refunded to the card if refunds is approved.
We do not store your credit card details but our payment gateway Payfast does all that.
Payfast may require further authentication on credit card payments, which they will request from you after you have submitted your payment.
All refunds will be credited to your customer account.
There is no interest payable on the balance in your customer account.
Delivery
For deliveries, we use the Moodle Learner Management System (LMS) for delivery of all relevant material for the training /workshop that you have registered or subscribed for. The facilitation at this time will be face to face, and any webinars will be facilitated online. We reserve the right to use any other service providers as needed to deliver the facilitation in exceptional circumstances.
You need to ensure that you provide us with a valid information such as:
- full names and surname
- identity number
- title
- email address
- professional body name
- professional body registration number
- address
- cell phone number and
- another contact number
during the checkout process.
You accept that in order for us to prove delivery of the training services and issuing of attendance certificates, we have to prove to the professional bodies that you personally attended the training. You personally have to sign the attendance registers, and that if any person other than you, signed for the attendance, it would constitute fraud, after which we will have to notify your professional body about the incident.
Unfortunately, proof-of-attendance records cannot be retained indefinitely.
Once you downloaded the workshop manual, no refunds will be made and no cancellations will be accepted. Non-attendance of the face-to-face workshops will also not qualify for a refund. An alternative arrangement can be made to attend the workshop at another venue date and time.
Age restrictions and age suitability
The onus is on you to ensure that you and/or the person for whom you may be buying a workshop/webinar/online workshop on the Website, meet any age restrictions applicable to such services ordered by you on the Website, that these restrictions are observed, that you are over 18 and that any product and or service bought is age appropriate. Accordingly, you indemnify aquilla.co.za from any and all liability in this regard, including any liability arising as a result of your failure to provide accurate information in this regard when completing the aquilla.co.za Website LMS registration process.
Delayed / cancelled orders
Most orders are fulfilled on time but unfortunately, unexpected delays can occur and we may not always be able to fulfil for whatever reason, within the schedule provided. The system can be down for maintenance and updates, or the service providers might have and internet challenge. We will do our best to keep you informed of any unexpected delays, or discontinued workshops.
Agreement of sale / cancellations
The registration for a workshop/s, webinar or online course is activated with us only after you have clicked on the [Pay for this order] button. Your order is an offer to purchase the training services from us. We only accept your offer once we have communicated our acceptance to you after the fulfilment of the payment.
Placing an item in your cart does not constitute an order and we cannot be held liable if the workshop/s, webinar or online course is no longer available, or if the price has changed by the time the checkout process is completed.
We reserve the right to cancel an order at any point in time without giving any reasons. In this case, we shall be liable to refund any money already paid in respect of that order for example if a workshop is cancelled for whatever reason by us.
Please note, however, that we may not be able to cancel workshop/s, webinar or online course from an order if you have already downloaded the workshop/s, webinar or online course material.
