Ashoka Arab World’s Terms of Service

Effective: January 1, 2022
ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

The terms of service set forth below (the “Terms of Service”) constitute a legal agreement between you, the user, and Ashoka, as the provider of the Ashoka website (“Ashoka” or “we”). The Terms of Service governs your access to and use of this Ashoka website and all services offered on the site (collectively, the “Site”). In addition, when using particular portions of the Site, you will be subject to guidelines, rules and additional terms provided by Ashoka in connection with such portions of the Site, and all such guidelines, rules and terms are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service. PLEASE READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITE CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE. IF YOU ARE UNWILLING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE.

You should print or save a local copy of the Terms for your records.

The official language of the Terms of Service shall be in the English language except as required by local law. Any translations of the Terms of Service shall be for reference purposes only. The terms of the Terms of Service in the English language shall prevail over any terms of any translations hereof in the event any dispute arises regarding any conflicting terms.

Ashoka may modify the Terms of Service from time to time. Modifications will be posted on the Site via a link from the home page. Registered users will receive e-mail notifications with information about modifications. Except as otherwise required by local law, your continued use of the Site after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the modified Terms of Service. Unless expressly stated otherwise by Ashoka, any new features, new services, enhancements or modifications to the Site implemented after your initial access to the Site will be subject to the Terms of Service.

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE INCLUDE A RELEASE BY YOU OF ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES AGAINST US THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SITE TO THE EXTENT ALLOWABLE UNDER LOCAL LAW. BY USING THE SITE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THIS RELEASE EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW.

ACCOUNT REGISTRATIONS AND PROFILES

In consideration for your registration with the Site, you agree to: (a) provide accurate and complete information about yourself (and others, as applicable) as requested (the “Registration and Profile Data”); (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration and Profile Data to keep it accurate and complete (c) not create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission; (d) not transfer your account to anyone without first obtaining written permission from Ashoka; and (d) not create more than one user account. If Ashoka suspects that your Registration and Profile Data is inaccurate or incomplete, Ashoka may suspend or terminate your account. If you select a username for your account Ashoka reserves the right, to the extent allowable under local law, to remove or reclaim it if we believe appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user’s actual name). If Ashoka disables your account, you may not be able to create another one without our permission.

PRIVACY AND SECURITY

Personally identifiable information we collect from you in connection with the Site (“Personal Data”) is subject to our Privacy Policy, which can be found at the following link and is part of these Terms of Service. Please read the Privacy Policy before using the Site. Except as otherwise required by local law, your access to or use of the Site constitutes your acceptance of all the terms of the Privacy Policy, including the transfer of Personal Data to countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country.

While the Site has security measures in place intended to protect against the loss, misuse and or alteration of the information under our control, we are not able to assure you that these measures will be successful. The Site itself is not designed to protect confidential or sensitive information. Accordingly, you should not use the Site to process such information. Electronic mail is not necessarily secure and you are cautioned that any messages you send to us by email will not be transmitted within the Site or under our control. Please do not send sensitive or confidential information to us by email.

OWNERSHIP OF THE SITE

All materials made available through the Site including but not limited to artwork, photographs, graphics, audio clips, video clips, text and trademarks (collectively, the “Contents”), are the sole property of Ashoka or its licensors. The Contents are protected by United States and international laws of copyright, trademark, and unfair competition. You acknowledge that the Site, the Content and photos displayed on the Site and any underlying technology or software used in connection with the Site contain Ashoka proprietary information. You may not commercially exploit any part of the Site, including photographs, except with the express written consent of Ashoka. “Ashoka” and “Changemakers” are registered trademarks and “Everyone a Changemaker” are trademarks of Ashoka or its affiliates in the United States and certain other countries. Other marks, product names, and company names appearing in the Contents are trademarks and/or service marks of Ashoka and/or their respective owners and are protected by law. Ashoka marks may be used publicly only with permission from Ashoka. Any fair use of the trademarks and service marks requires proper acknowledgment. If you become aware of a possible copyright, trademark, or other infringement, we ask you to notify us immediately. Please see the Notice for Claims of Copyright Violations and Agent for Notice section below.

USE OF THE SITE

It is in keeping with Ashoka’s mission to encourage public discourse and action regarding social entrepreneurship and systemic, innovative change. Accordingly, unless particular materials are specifically restricted as noted where they are displayed, it is Ashoka’s policy to allow limited reproduction and distribution of the Contents as follows: You may copy and distribute items included in the Contents provided that: (1) the particular article or section is reproduced in its entirety in its original form; you may not edit or otherwise change the substance of the content, or change or delete any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices; (2) all copies include a statement that the material was reproduced from this Site with the permission of Ashoka; (3) the copies are distributed only for the non-commercial educational or public policy purposes; and (4) the copies are distributed at no charge, or at most, at actual cost. Provided you comply with all of these conditions, Ashoka grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, copy and distribute the Contents.

Other than as specifically described above, you may not copy, reproduce, adapt, reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, distribute, license, transfer, sell, modify, display, prepare in whole or in part any derivative works based on, republish, transmit, repost or otherwise use any of the Contents without prior written authorization from Ashoka. To request such permission, contact [email protected] In no event may Ashoka trademarks, graphics, artwork or other visual or audio elements be reproduced separately from the textual content associated with them as part of the Site. All rights in the Site not expressly granted by Ashoka to you are retained by Ashoka.

If you download software from us in order to use the materials as authorized above, the software, including any files, images, audio or video clips incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively “Software”) is licensed to you by Ashoka or the owner of such Software. Ashoka does not transfer the title to you. You may own the media on which the Software is recorded, but Ashoka retains full title to the software, and all intellectual property rights therein. You may not reproduce, redistribute, sell, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-perceivable form.

Certain portions of the Site allow you to post or upload information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages and other materials some or all of which may be copyrightable material (“User Provided Content”). You are entirely responsible for all User Provided Content that you make available to or through the Site, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted. You agree, that when you publish content or information, it means that you are allowing all users of the Site, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (e.g., your name and profile picture). To assure that the Site remains available to support Ashoka’s mission, all users contributing material are required to grant broad permissions to the re-distribution and re-use of their contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). Accordingly, for any material you hold the copyright to, by contributing it through the Site you are agreeing to so license that material. If you want to contribute material from other authors or of which you are a joint author, you may do so only if it is available under terms that are compatible with these licenses and you provide proper attribution where it is required by the underlying license. Ashoka may in its sole and absolute discretion elect not to accept or to remove any User Provided Content. In addition, by providing User Provided Content, you authorize and direct Ashoka to make such copies thereof as we deem necessary in order to facilitate the posting and storage of the Content on the Site.

You assume total responsibility and risk for your use of the Site. It is solely your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of all information you access or obtain through the Site. Ashoka does not control all material posted by third parties via the Site, and does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content (even if Ashoka has reviewed it). You understand that by using the Site you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will Ashoka be liable in any way for any Content including any errors or omissions in any Content or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of your use of any Content. You hereby agree to release Ashoka from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any such disputes or use of the Site, except as otherwise provided by local law. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ANY AND ALL OF THE CONTENTS EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LOCAL LAW. You are responsible for complying with all laws applicable to the User Provided Content you submit via the Site.

THE CONTENT, INCLUDING USER PROVIDED CONTENT, MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR SATISFACTORY FOR YOUR USE, AND YOU SHOULD VERIFY ALL INFORMATION BEFORE RELYING ON IT. ANY DECISIONS MADE BASED ON THE CONTENT, INCLUDING INFORMATION RECEIVED THROUGH YOUR USE OF THE SITE, ARE YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY.

You agree that you will not use the Site to do any of the following:

    • any Content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements, any private information of any third party, Content you did not create or Content that you did not have permission to post);
    • any unsolicited communications or advertising not authorized by Ashoka, promotional materials or any other form of solicitation for any type of information; or

  • use the Site or any email in any Ashoka domain to deliver unsolicited bulk email; or
  • publicize or offer any contest, giveaway, or sweepstakes (“promotion”) on Ashoka without following all applicable laws.

You agree that Ashoka may or may not pre-screen Content, but that Ashoka has the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to pre-screen, refuse, remove or move any Content that is available via the Site. Without limiting the foregoing, Ashoka will have the right to remove any Content that violates the Terms of Service or is otherwise objectionable, in each case as determined by Ashoka in its sole discretion. You agree that you must evaluate and bear all risks associated with the use of any Content, including any reliance on the content, integrity and accuracy of such Content.

ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Unless otherwise agreed by you and Ashoka in writing or required by local law, you and Ashoka will resolve all disputes arising from or related to the Site, the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association or the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (as determined by Ashoka) in accordance with their applicable rules.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph prohibits you or Ashoka from seeking equitable or injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction at any time and no disputes arising from or related to Ashoka’s intellectual property rights in the Site (as described in the section titled “Ownership of the Site”) will be subject to the arbitration procedures described above unless otherwise agreed by Ashoka in writing or required by local law.

The European Commission has made available to residents of the European Union a platform for online dispute resolution that can be found at the following address: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Ashoka does not participate in dispute resolution facilitated through this platform but may be contacted in writing at the address listed below.

USER DISPUTES

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Site users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other users except as otherwise required by local law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ashoka will not be liable for any claims, damages or other losses arising out of any disputes between users.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO USERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

We strive to create a global community with consistent standards for everyone, but we also strive to respect local laws. The following provisions apply to users outside the United States:

  • You acknowledge that your Personal Data will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
  • If you are located in a country embargoed by the United States or are on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, you will not engage in commercial activities on the Site.
RESTRICTED RIGHTS & EXPORT CONTROLS

Any software or documentation that may be available on the Site are “commercial items” as defined in FAR 2.101. Therefore, in accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical data) and FAR 12.212 (Computer software) and, for U.S. Department of Defense Customers, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data – Commercial Items) and DFAR 227.7202-3 (Rights in commercial computer software or computer software documentation), all U.S. government end users acquire the software and documentation with only those rights set forth herein.

You acknowledge and agree to comply with all U.S. laws, regulations, and requirements applicable to the export of U.S. origin products and technology.

GENERAL

The Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as applied to contracts entered into by residents thereof and performed entirely within the State. If any provision or portion thereof of the Terms of Service is found to be contrary to law, the interpretation of such provision or portion thereof will be modified solely as necessary to comply with law and such provision will be construed, as nearly as possible while complying with law, to reflect the provision as drafted, and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect. If any court of law, having jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms, and the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable. The terms “includes,” “include,” “including” means “including without limitation” as used herein. Ashoka’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Ashoka in writing. These terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and Ashoka with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements. You may not assign the Terms of Service to any other party and any attempt to do so is void. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site or the Terms of Service must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or will be forever barred. The Terms of Service, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned or transferred by Ashoka without restriction.
