We expect the users of our website to respect our intellectual property rights.

It corresponds also to the exclusive exercise of the rights of exploitation of the same in any form and, especially, the rights of reproduction, distribution, public communication, and transformation.
AICCI inherently holds its intellectual property rights of all contents, information, and elements regarding the AICCI brand that the customer, the visitor, and the user can access through the Website (www.africacham.org).
All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Accessing the content or elements of the website, will not give the user the right, in any case, to modify, reproduce, distribute, exploit, or communicate to the public for the content or elements provided by the Website, or services of any third party, or grant any other right which affects the right holder.
Unless you do have prior and clear authorization in writing of AICCI, it is definitely forbidden to modify, copy, reuse, exploit, reproduce, communicate publicly, transmit, or distribute in any way some parts or all of the content of the Web for commercial or public purposes.
The users or the visitors can use our content information by specifying a link to our site, or by specifying the source as the Website www.africacham.org, or can share the posts through a link to the Website.

Thus, the graphics, icons, or images of the Website, cannot be used, copied, or distributed separately from the text or the rest of the images that accompany them. Additionally, without the prior written authorization of AICCI, none of the elements or contents of the Website can be modified in any way.

You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the service is at your sole risk. The Service and all products and services delivered to you through the Service are (except as expressly stated by us) provided ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ for your use, without any representation, warranties, or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.
In no case shall AICCI, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any of the Service or any products procured using the Service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the Service or any product, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the Service or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Service, even if advised of their possibility.

AICCI puts continuous effort so that the users or the visitors can access the Website correctly, and does its best to keep the Website up to date, but it does not guarantee the absence of errors or interruptions while accessing the website or its content, nor its updates. AICCI does its best at aiming to correct problems as soon as it is aware of errors, connection problems, or lack of content updates.

For the consequences or damages arising from this kind of use or access, AICCI cannot be held responsible. But, AICCI may initiate the appropriate procedures against the user, through the available legal remedies, and demand compensation for damages that may occur to the brand, the Website, or to AICCI.
AICCI does its best and takes all the necessary measures for virus protection and technical security, but does not guarantee that any content, data, computer system, or similar materials are free of viruses or other harmful components. Thus, AICCI cannot be held responsible for security errors that may occur or for any damage that may be caused to the user’s computer system (hardware and software), or the files or documents stored. These damages can be the results of a malfunction or non-updated version of the browser or the existence of a virus in the user’s computer that is used for the connection to the services and contents of the website.
AICCI’s Website may contain links to webpages or websites of third parties related to its business or aims. This kind of link would take the user out of our website.

We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third parties.
We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with any third-party websites.
