We may amend this agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on our site www.topgrade.pk (the "site").

In this agreement, "you" or "your" means any person or entity subscribing to and/or using the service ("users"). Unless otherwise stated, "we," or "our" will collectively refer to TopGrade.pk. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING USE, CONDITIONS, AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBSCRIBING TO OUR MATERIAL. AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF USE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

License

In consideration of and subject to your payment of the appropriate subscription fee for the services you subscribe to, and your agreement to and compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, TopGrade.pk grants to you a non-exclusive, non-sub licensable, non-transferable license, and right to use and access the TopGrade.pk content (the "licensed materials") from multiple places/locations/computers at "different times." You are not allowed to access the TopGrade.pk content from multiple places/locations/computers at "same" time. Neither are you allowed to copy, download or distribute any of the material including but not limited to text, images, videos, slides, academic material

Software Use Terms

The TopGrade.pk software is designed to work with Java Runtime Engine (JRE) 1.5 or higher on Windows and 1.4 or higher on Macintosh. Any attempt to use the TopGrade.pk software with lower versions of JRE constitutes a violation of the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, and might result in unexpected behavior, for which TopGrade.pk cannot be held responsible or liable for any damages. The TopGrade.pk software is designed to access your computer system's clipboard during use of the TopGrade.pk software. While a test is in progress, the TopGrade.pk software shall disable all clipboard functions of your computer system (including, but not limited to, copy-paste-print and save-to-disk functions). Furthermore, the TopGrade.pk software shall monitor all processes on your computer to determine if there exists any applications that could be used (intentionally or unintentionally) to copy contents. Simultaneous use of such applications (hereafter referred to as "dubious applications") with the TopGrade.pk software constitutes a violation of this agreement. TopGrade.pk reserves the right to determine which application classifies as a "dubious application". When such a process (or) application is found to be active on a user's machine, the administrator will be notified with the "dubious" process name and the user will also be notified with instructions to disable it on every attempt. In addition, TopGrade.pk reserves the right to disable the launch of any test(s), if any such "dubious application" is found to be active on the user's computer system. The user will not be able to switch between applications when TopGrade.pk software is running. The user also understands and acknowledges this disabled function as part of the subscription terms.

The user authorizes TopGrade.pk software to access the computer on which the self-assessment exam is being taken, and monitor every keyboard stroke for that computer. The user also agrees to only use a computer mouse when taking the self-assessment exam. In the event that more than three (3) keyboard strokes are detected, TopGrade.pk reserves the right to suspend the user's subscription, report such unethical actions to medical committees and residency programs, and pursue legal action if necessary. The content presented in the self-assessment examination serves as an educational tool. The Assessment Score is calculated by TopGrade.pk based on its own proprietary algorithm. This is not intended to predict your performance on the actual Entrance Exam but is designed to help you assess relative strengths and weaknesses in different subjects. TopGrade.pk will always keep your account and self-assessment exam performance results confidential and will not provide such information to third parties without your consent. In the event that an educational institution pays for the self-assessment subscription, the educational institution can request the performance results from TopGrade.pkthrough your written consent.

Moreover, it is important to understand that we have no affiliation with any institution. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the TopGrade.pk software will respond to the actions of test-takers in an identical manner to the official Entrance Exams of respective universities. The TopGrade.pk software has been tested with a wide range of computer configurations; however, due to the rapidly evolving computer industry and unpredictability of various factors affecting computer systems, TopGrade.pk does not guarantee the functionality of its software on every configuration, nor does TopGrade.pk guarantee predictable behavior of the software in general. You recognize all of the above terms and accept that use of the TopGrade.pk software on your system is done solely at your own risk.
