For the purposes of this Condition, the term “fee” includes the following items: tuition fees, compulsory course costs, examination fees, costs of materials, costs of field trips, costs associated with the compulsory purchase of equipment or books through a TEO, and other charges associated with a course.  The term “fee” does not include compulsory student services fees or fees for student identification cards.

For the purposes of this Condition, "equipment, infrastructure, and hardware":

(a) is repayable on demand, and

(b) may be set-off against all or any funding, or any sum of money payable by us to you.

(a) repayable on demand by us, and

(b) may be set-off against all or any funding, or any sum payable by us to you.
