Accessing the websites
These terms and conditions outlined apply to all users of websites controlled by or owned by Lincoln Group Limited (the “Site”). We may update these terms at any time.
It is forbidden to use or cause to be used any automated website browsing systems such as spiders and robots that access the Site utilizing requests that occur more rapidly than would be possible by one person accessing the Site using one conventional online browser (such as Google Chrome).
Operators of public search engines may allow their spiders to crawl the Site for the sole purpose of creating publicly searchable indices of the content of the Sites, but not caches or archives.
The Site contains a number of ‘Services’ which include quizzes and educational material which is a mixture of official LTO questions, questions that Lincoln Group Ltd has created in conjunction with driving instructors and other experts, and written material. The Site does not provide the quizzes in the exact same wording or visual representation as the learner licence test, and LTO does not endorse it as such. Your use of the Services does not entitle you to be awarded any kind of licence, endorsement, certificate or qualification other than that given by Lincoln Group.
You may use the Services only for lawful, authorised purposes. Administrative users (‘Managers’) are responsible for the actions of Employee Drivers they have invited.
In order to provide the Services to you, you provide us permission to store and transmit your data according to our Privacy Policy so that we can display it to you when you are logged in.
Lincoln Group Ltd reserves the right to use your name as a reference for marketing or promotional purposes on the Site and in other communication with existing or potential customers. If you do not want to be listed, please contact us stating that you don’t want to be used as a reference.
If you send us feedback or ideas for updates, you grant Lincoln Group Ltd an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, free licence to use it for any purpose without obligation to you.
