We want this website to be a useful and respectful source of information about our mission and work. Please read these terms carefully, particularly the sections covering donations, the use of published media, and third-party services.
Acceptance of these terms
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Utuhisaniwins website. By visiting or using this website, you agree to use it in accordance with these terms and applicable law. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.
These terms apply to general website use. Additional terms may apply where a separate service, agreement, partnership, or donation arrangement is introduced.
About this website
This website provides information about Utuhisaniwins, its mission, and its focus on supporting access to education and healthcare for Maasai girls and their communities in Kajiado, Kenya.
Website content is provided for general information and community engagement. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a particular service, programme, funding opportunity, or form of assistance is available to every visitor.
Responsible use
You agree to use this website lawfully, respectfully, and in a way that does not interfere with its operation or the rights of others.
You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or its systems, introduce malicious code, disrupt website functionality, misuse forms or contact details, impersonate another person, or use the website to distribute unlawful, misleading, abusive, or harmful material.
We may take reasonable steps to protect the website and its visitors where misuse, suspicious activity, or a security concern is identified.
Accuracy and availability of information
We aim to present information that is clear, relevant, and accurate. However, organizational details, programme descriptions, contact information, and other website content may change over time.
We do not warrant that every page will always be complete, current, uninterrupted, or free from errors. Where appropriate, please contact Utuhisaniwins directly to confirm important information before relying on it or making arrangements.
We may revise, remove, or update website content as our work and available information evolve.
Programme information and requests for support
Information about our work is intended to help visitors understand our areas of focus. Reading about a programme or contacting us does not automatically establish eligibility for assistance, confirm participation, or create a commitment to provide funding or services.
Requests for support, volunteering, collaboration, or partnership may require further communication and verification. Any arrangements will depend on the circumstances and any separate agreement reached with the organization.
Please do not assume that an inquiry has been received or approved unless you receive an appropriate confirmation through an official communication channel.
Donations and payment arrangements
Utuhisaniwins welcomes voluntary contributions to support its mission and charitable activities. Where online donations are available, visitors may use the payment methods and currencies displayed in the donation interface.
Online donations are processed through PayPal and its supported payment services. Depending on availability, eligibility, location, device, and PayPal's requirements, the checkout may offer payment using a PayPal account or an eligible credit or debit card. Available payment methods are determined by PayPal and may change without notice.
By proceeding with an online donation, you confirm that you are authorized to use the selected payment method and that the information you provide is accurate. You must not use another person's payment method without authorization or use the donation service for unlawful purposes.
A donation is not considered confirmed merely because you select an amount, open the payment window, or begin checkout. A payment must be successfully completed and confirmed by the payment provider. If checkout is cancelled, declined, interrupted, or unsuccessful, the donation may not be completed.
Donation amounts and currencies are displayed before payment confirmation. Your payment provider or financial institution may apply exchange rates, conversion charges, or other fees where applicable. Please review the amount and currency shown at checkout before confirming your contribution.
PayPal processes payments under its own terms, privacy notice, security procedures, and eligibility requirements. Utuhisaniwins does not receive your full card details through the website's ordinary donation interface. Do not send card numbers, security codes, passwords, or other sensitive payment credentials through general contact forms, email, or social media messages.
If you experience a payment error, an unexpected charge, a duplicate transaction, or a question about a completed donation, please contact Utuhisaniwins through its official Contact page and provide the transaction reference and relevant details. Do not send full payment card details. Refund requests, where applicable, will be reviewed in accordance with applicable law, the circumstances of the transaction, and any relevant payment-provider requirements.
A successful payment confirmation does not, by itself, establish eligibility for a tax deduction or guarantee the issuance of a tax receipt. Please contact Utuhisaniwins if you require confirmation or documentation concerning your contribution.
Intellectual property and permitted use
Unless otherwise stated, website text, original graphics, branding, design elements, and other original materials are owned by Utuhisaniwins or used with permission. Third-party names, logos, photographs, and materials remain the property of their respective owners.
You may view the website and share links to its publicly available pages for lawful, non-misleading purposes. You must not reproduce, republish, sell, modify, or commercially exploit protected material without the necessary permission, except where applicable law allows it.
If you wish to reuse a photograph, story, logo, or other material, please contact us first. Permission to view content does not automatically grant permission to reuse it.
Community stories, photographs, and media
Stories, photographs, and other media may be used to communicate aspects of our mission and community work. We aim to treat the people represented in these materials with dignity and respect.
Website visitors must not use photographs, personal stories, or identifying information from this website to harass, exploit, misrepresent, or otherwise harm the individuals or communities represented. Reuse of such material may require permission from the relevant rights holder and, where appropriate, consent from the people depicted.
If you believe that content published on this website raises a legitimate privacy, consent, or rights concern, please contact Utuhisaniwins so that the matter can be reviewed.
External websites and third-party services
This website may link to external websites, social media platforms, payment services, or other resources for convenience and additional information.
Online donations may use PayPal and related third-party payment services. When you interact with those services, their own terms, privacy notices, security procedures, and payment conditions may apply. You should review the relevant information before proceeding.
External services operate independently and may change their features, availability, eligibility requirements, or supported payment methods. Unless expressly stated, a link does not mean that Utuhisaniwins endorses every statement, service, or product on an external website.
Utuhisaniwins does not control third-party websites or services and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, is not responsible for their independent content, availability, or practices. This does not exclude any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Privacy and personal information
Your use of this website may involve providing information through contact channels or other features. Any personal information handled by Utuhisaniwins should be treated in accordance with our Privacy Notice and applicable data-protection requirements.
Please avoid submitting confidential or sensitive information through a general inquiry form unless it is necessary and you have an appropriate reason to share it.
Disclaimer and limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an 'as available' basis for general information. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that the website will meet every user's particular requirements.
To the extent permitted by law, Utuhisaniwins is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on incomplete or outdated website information, temporary unavailability, or third-party websites and services outside our reasonable control.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Suspension and changes to the website
We may update, suspend, restrict, or discontinue parts of the website where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, operational needs, or changes to our work.
We may also revise these terms from time to time. Updated terms will be published on this page. The date of the latest revision should be added when the terms are reviewed and approved.
