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":

In that situation, we will recover the difference between your actual delivery and 100% of the EM (ACE) Fund funding you receive.

If we suspend or revoke some or all of your EM (ACE) Fund funding under section 159ZF of the Education Act before some or all of that funding has been used or contractually committed towards the purposes for which the funding was provided, you must treat the unexpended or uncommitted portion of the funding as debt due to the Crown that is:

(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.
