Furthermore, you permit other Pasgorett Academy Users who have access to that specific channel to access, view, store, and reproduce the Third Party Content. This permission is subject to any restrictions you apply and is granted to the same extent allowed by these terms. As allowed by the specific agreement between Pasgorett and the Third Party, the Third Party may remove, obscure, alter, or modify their Third Party Content. However, this remains subject to the terms and conditions for using Pasgorett Academy as set forth in this document.
Pasgorett reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. These modifications become effective immediately upon posting the updated Terms on the Pasgorett Academy log-in page.
