Terms & Conditions

Please read the following carefully

Summary

Humanitarianleadershipacademy.org and humanitarianxchange.org (each a ‘Website’ and together the ‘Websites’) are run by the Humanitarian Leadership Academy (‘the Academy’). In these Terms and Conditions, a reference to the ‘Websites’ is a reference to one or both of Humanitarianleadershipacademy.org and humanitarianxchange.org, as the context requires.

If you view or use one or both of the Websites, you must agree to the legal Terms and Conditions, which you can find below. This summary explains what the Terms and Conditions ask of you. It is not intended to change or replace the formal Terms and Conditions (below).

Copyright

Everything you see on this Websites is copyright of the Academy unless otherwise stated. Some content has been shared by other organisations; this content is the copyright of the organisation who shared it.

Security and risk

The internet can never be 100% secure, though we have done everything we can to keep your data safe. You take responsibility for the risk of uploading or downloading anything to/from the Websites.

Where there are links to external websites on the platform, the Academy takes no responsibility for the content or security of those websites and does not formally endorse them or the organisations behind them.

Changing the Terms and Conditions

When things change – either with the Websites or in law – we might need to update these Terms and Conditions.  You agree to review these Terms and Conditions periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes.
