The words, “you” or “your” means the Cross Country Policy Holder and the authorised user thereof. The words “us,” “we” or “our” only means Cross Country. Before you can use the smart phone application, you must register the service on your smart phone.
When does this agreement start?
This agreement starts as soon as any of the following happens:

Protection and Security
For your protection and security you must enter the correct access information to identify yourself whenever you use or logon to the service.
Since we deal with each other in a non-face to face environment, for your security, you will need to enter the correct access information or take any other steps acceptable to us, for us to verify your identity and the electronic communications you send us using the service each time you logon to the service. This is known as “verification”. All electronic communications that are sent to us after you have met our verification requirements during logon will be treated as valid and authentic. This means that these electronic communications will have the same legal effect as written and signed paper communications from you. To protect you, we can refuse to act on any instructions you send us or can cancel your access (temporarily or permanently) if you don’t meet the verification requirements. This includes where you enter the wrong access codes or login details.
Instruction and or Transactions
We are entitled to act on and accept all instructions or transactions done after your login details have been entered.
Since we deal with you, non-face-to-face, we will act on and accept all instructions or transactions (“transactions”) done after your correct login details have been entered and you meet the verification requirements set by us. We will assume that all such transactions have been authorised by you, even if such transactions took place without your knowledge or consent or were not authorised by you. This will not apply to transactions that occur after you have requested that we cancel your login details.
Authorised Users act on your behalf as your agent
By allowing an authorised user to access your account, you give that person the authority to act as your agent. This means that anything the authorised user does or doesn’t do will be attributed to you. In other words their actions or failure to act (omission) will be considered by us as your actions or failure to act (omission).
Cross Country is not responsible for third party software
From time to time we may make third party software/applications (“software”) available for download via the service page. You download and use the software at your own risk. We make no warranty about the software, whether express or implied. You will be bound to the license terms of the software licensor.

General
Any communication from us to you will be regarded as having been sent at the time shown on the communication or on our transmission logs. In any proceedings or dispute, our records certified as correct by Cross Country’s IT department, will be sufficient proof of any instructions you have provided or transaction you have performed on the service page, the content or services on any service page or value added service, unless you can prove otherwise. While we may give you extra time to comply with your obligations or decide not to exercise some of our rights, you must not assume that this means that our agreement with you has been changed or that it no longer applies to you. We can still insist on the strict application of any or all of our rights at a later stage. Every clause of the agreement and rules is severable from the others. If one or more of the clauses is invalid it will not mean the rest of the agreement or rules are invalid. The rest of the agreement and rules will still apply. Where dates and times need to be calculated the international standard time (GMT) plus 2 (two) hours will be used. This agreement will be governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa without giving effect to conflict of laws provisions.
