Terms of Use Made fair.

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Africa Geek Circle Network corporate website. By using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you should stop using the website.

Additional terms, registration conditions, partnership agreements, event rules or platform policies may apply to The Geek Circle, Builders Summit, Seed or a specific programme. Where those terms conflict with these general website Terms, the more specific terms apply to that activity.

Africa Geek Circle Network is a media, community and technology company supporting the visibility and discovery of African founders and startups. This corporate website provides information about our organisation, platforms, partnerships, events and contact channels.

Website content is provided for general information. It is not a binding offer, investment recommendation, legal opinion, financial advice or guarantee of any opportunity, partnership, event, service, funding outcome or commercial result.

You must use the website lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

• Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, defamatory or misleading purposes.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, systems, accounts, source code or data.
• Introduce malware, harmful code, automated attacks or excessive requests that could disrupt the website.
• Scrape, harvest or systematically extract content or personal information without written permission or a lawful basis.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, authority, organisation or relationship with us.
• Use our name, brands, content or platforms to suggest endorsement, affiliation or approval where none exists.

We may restrict or block access where we reasonably believe these Terms, applicable law or the security of our services has been threatened.

Unless stated otherwise, the website design, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, photographs, video, editorial content, software and other materials are owned by or licensed to Africa Geek Circle Network and are protected by intellectual-property laws.

You may view and share links to public pages for personal, informational and legitimate business purposes. You may not reproduce, modify, republish, sell, license, distribute or commercially exploit substantial website content without prior written permission, except where the law expressly permits.

Third-party names, logos and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

When you submit an enquiry, application, startup profile, founder story, pitch, event material or other content, you confirm that:

• The information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and you are authorised to provide it.
• The content does not infringe another person’s rights, breach confidentiality or violate the law.
• You will not submit sensitive, confidential or proprietary information unless it is genuinely required and an appropriate arrangement is in place.

Submitting material does not guarantee publication, selection, attendance, partnership, investment, sponsorship or any other outcome. Where we propose to publish, promote or substantially edit submitted material, additional permissions or editorial terms may apply.

The Geek Circle

Editorial content, interviews and live conversations may contain the views of founders, guests, contributors or third parties. Those views are their own and do not necessarily represent Africa Geek Circle Network.

Builders Summit

Event programmes, speakers, venues, schedules, access arrangements and benefits may change. Specific ticket, participation, safety, refund or sponsor terms may apply to each edition.

Seed

Startup information is generally supplied by founders or authorised representatives. Interested parties are responsible for their own verification, due diligence, professional advice, negotiations and decisions. Any engagement or transaction takes place independently outside the platform.

The website may link to external websites, social networks, ticketing providers, event partners, payment providers or other third-party services. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their availability, content, security, terms or privacy practices.

A link, mention, feature or listing does not automatically mean that we endorse or guarantee the third party, its products, services, founders or claims.

We aim to keep the website accurate, secure and available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that every item will always be complete, current or error-free.

We may update, suspend, remove or change website content, features and links without notice. We may also take the website offline for maintenance, security, technical or operational reasons.

You are responsible for using suitable devices, network security, software updates and account safeguards when interacting with our online services.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its general information are provided on an “as available” basis without warranties that are not expressly stated.

Africa Geek Circle Network is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising solely from use of, or inability to use, this corporate website. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable law prohibits exclusion.

You remain responsible for independent professional advice and due diligence before making legal, financial, investment, commercial, employment or strategic decisions.

Unless mandatory local law requires otherwise, these Terms and non-contractual disputes relating to use of this corporate website are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction.

Separate agreements or platform-specific terms may select another governing law for a particular event, service, contract or transaction.

We may revise these Terms when our website, services or legal obligations change. Continued use after an update means the revised Terms apply from the date stated above.
