NIAGARA CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD

Microsoft School Agreement Software Employee Usage Contract

The Niagara Catholic District School Board has recently entered into a one year School Agreement with Microsoft Canada. This Agreement provides the Board with the ability to use a variety of Microsoft software on all of the Board-owned computers.

This Agreement also allows current Board employees to use this software at home under the Microsoft Work-at-Home rights. Since this software usage presents a valuable benefit to Board employees, it is mandatory that all Terms and Conditions of the Work-at-Home rights be observed and practiced by each Board employee. Failure to adhere to the Work-at-Home Terms and Conditions may void the Board’s School Agreement.

Therefore, it is necessary for the Niagara Catholic District School Board to protect its’ investment in the School Agreement by having each eligible Work-at-Home user review and sign this document, which specifies the rules for using the Microsoft School Agreement software on a personal home, or laptop, computer.

Please read and complete as indicated below

If you wish to receive the Microsoft software, please complete this form and return it to:
