Terms of Website Use

These Terms form an agreement between you and Young Innovative Farmers Organization (YIFO) regarding your use of this website. Your continued use of the website means that you accept the version of the Terms in effect at the time of your visit.

If you use the website on behalf of an organization, institution, company, school, community group, or other entity, you confirm that you are authorized to act on its behalf in relation to that use.

YIFO provides this website to share information about its mission, programs, projects, opportunities, partnerships, events, resources, impact, leadership, policies, and ways to engage with the organization.

Information published on the website is intended for general informational and organizational purposes. Unless YIFO expressly states otherwise, website content does not create a funding commitment, partnership, employment relationship, contractual entitlement, admission, selection, award, scholarship, grant, or other legal right.

You may browse, read, share links to, and make reasonable personal, educational, research, or non-commercial use of publicly available information on this website, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

You must not misuse the website. This includes attempting to gain unauthorized access to systems or accounts, interfering with the website's operation, introducing malware or harmful code, scraping or harvesting data in a way that disrupts the service, impersonating YIFO or another person, using the website for fraud or unlawful activity, or attempting to bypass technical or security protections.

You must also not use YIFO's website, identity, or content to falsely suggest that YIFO endorses, sponsors, certifies, employs, funds, or formally partners with a person or organization when no such relationship exists.

Unless otherwise stated or credited, the website's original text, graphics, designs, photographs, publications, reports, visual identity, YIFO name, logo, and other original materials are owned by or used with permission by Young Innovative Farmers Organization.

You may quote or reference reasonable portions of publicly available YIFO content for legitimate educational, journalistic, research, or non-commercial purposes when YIFO is properly credited and the material is not presented misleadingly.

You may not reproduce substantial parts of the website, modify or commercially exploit YIFO materials, use the YIFO logo as your own, create misleading derivative branding, or use YIFO intellectual property in advertising, fundraising, products, campaigns, or promotional materials without prior permission where permission is required.

Third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners and may be subject to separate terms or licences.

If you contact YIFO, submit an enquiry, register interest, provide feedback, share a testimonial, send an application, or otherwise provide information through the website, you are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate, lawful, and does not infringe another person's rights.

Submitting information does not guarantee a response, selection, partnership, funding, participation, employment, volunteer placement, or other outcome. YIFO may contact you where appropriate in relation to the purpose for which you submitted the information.

Personal information is handled in accordance with YIFO's Privacy Policy and any additional notice presented at the point of collection.

YIFO may publish or link to scholarships, fellowships, grants, internships, jobs, trainings, competitions, events, calls for applications, and other opportunities, including information provided by third parties.

Deadlines, eligibility requirements, benefits, selection criteria, funding arrangements, application procedures, and other details can change. Users should always check the official opportunity provider's latest information before applying or making decisions.

Unless YIFO is expressly identified as the provider or implementing organization, publication or sharing of an opportunity does not mean that YIFO controls the selection process, guarantees its accuracy, endorses every aspect of the third-party program, or can guarantee any applicant's success.

The website may contain links to external websites, social media platforms, funding portals, application systems, partner websites, service providers, and YIFO-affiliated project sites such as Youth Opportunities.

External websites are operated under their own terms, privacy policies, security practices, and content standards. A link from YIFO does not automatically mean that YIFO controls or accepts responsibility for the external site's availability, security, accuracy, content, products, services, or conduct.

You should review the relevant terms and privacy information before providing personal information, making payments, downloading files, or entering into transactions on an external service.

YIFO aims to publish information that is accurate, responsible, and current. However, organizational activities, staff roles, programs, project status, event details, deadlines, partner information, policies, and other content may change over time.

YIFO may correct, update, remove, reorganize, or replace website content without prior notice. Historical information may remain available for transparency or reference and should be understood in the context of its publication date.

Where important decisions depend on website information, you should confirm the latest details with YIFO or the relevant official source.

General information published by YIFO about agriculture, climate, livelihoods, digital skills, education, funding opportunities, public health, governance, or other development topics is provided for awareness and learning purposes.

Unless clearly stated otherwise, website content is not a substitute for professional legal, medical, financial, agricultural, technical, safety, or other specialist advice tailored to your circumstances. Users remain responsible for obtaining appropriate professional guidance where needed.

YIFO takes reasonable steps to maintain the website and protect its systems, but no internet service can be guaranteed to operate without interruption, delay, technical error, security risk, or downtime.

YIFO may temporarily suspend, restrict, maintain, modify, or discontinue parts of the website when necessary for security, maintenance, operational, legal, or technical reasons.

You are responsible for using appropriate device security, keeping software updated, protecting your own accounts and credentials, and exercising care when opening links or files obtained online.

The website is provided on an "as available" basis. While YIFO works to maintain reliable and useful information, it does not promise that every page, link, feature, external resource, or item of information will always be available, complete, current, or free from error.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, YIFO is not responsible for indirect, incidental, consequential, or other losses arising solely from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this website or third-party services linked from it.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

YIFO may process limited personal information when users contact the organization, submit forms, register for activities, subscribe to communications, provide feedback, or otherwise interact with the website.

How YIFO collects, uses, stores, protects, and handles personal information is described in the Privacy Policy. Where a particular program or form requires additional information, a specific privacy or consent notice may also apply.

YIFO may update these Terms when its website, services, legal obligations, organizational practices, or public activities change. The date shown at the top of this page indicates when these Terms were most recently updated.

Material changes will take effect when the revised Terms are published on this website unless a later effective date is stated. Continued use of the website after an update means that the revised Terms apply to that use.

These Terms are intended to operate in accordance with applicable laws in South Sudan and any other mandatory legal requirements that may apply to a particular user, activity, or transaction.

If a concern or dispute relates to YIFO's website, users are encouraged to contact YIFO first so that the matter can be reviewed and, where possible, resolved directly and fairly.

Questions about these Terms, permissions to reuse YIFO content, website concerns, or reports of suspected misuse can be sent to YIFO.
