Terms of Service

1. About these terms

These Terms of Service apply to your use of the EMCR website operated by Equitable Medicaid and Clinical Research Ltd/Gte (EMCR). By accessing or using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the website. Additional terms or consent forms may apply to a particular event, programme, research activity, payment, or application.

2. Website information is not professional advice

The site provides general information about EMCR, its programmes, projects, research, events, grants, and opportunities. Website content is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not create a clinician-patient or research-participant relationship. Do not use the site for medical emergencies; contact local emergency services or a qualified health professional. Participation in any clinical research requires separate study information and consent and is not established by browsing this website.

3. Responsible use

Use the website only for lawful purposes. Do not attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the site, accounts, systems, or data; introduce malicious code; interfere with another person’s use; submit false or misleading information; or use forms to send unlawful, abusive, or unsolicited material. You must have authority to provide information and files that you submit, and should not include another person’s sensitive information unless it is necessary and you are authorized to provide it.

4. Accounts and submissions

Some services, including volunteer features, require an account. Provide accurate information, keep your password confidential, and notify EMCR through the Contact Us page if you suspect unauthorized account use. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Submitting a volunteer, job, grant, event, contact, or donation form does not guarantee acceptance, funding, employment, event admission, or a particular outcome. EMCR may review, verify, or reject incomplete, ineligible, or inappropriate submissions. Uploaded files must be lawful, relevant, and free of malware. Application information is handled under the Privacy Policy and any additional notice provided for that application.

5. Donations and payments

Donation and ticket payments may be processed by an external payment provider, including Paystack or Flutterwave when enabled. Provider terms and privacy notices apply to the payment process. A payment is confirmed only when the provider verifies it and the website records the confirmed status. Selecting a donation frequency records your stated preference; a recurring charge is created only if the payment provider explicitly presents and confirms a recurring payment arrangement. Contact EMCR through the Contact Us page about a donation or payment record. Nothing in these terms removes any refund or consumer right that applicable law gives you.

6. Site content and intellectual property

Unless a page says otherwise, EMCR or its licensors own or are authorized to use the site design, text, photographs, logos, reports, and other materials. You may view and share links to public pages for personal, non-commercial purposes. Do not reproduce, modify, distribute, or use EMCR logos or other protected materials commercially without permission, except where applicable law allows. Third-party names and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

7. External services and availability

The website may link to or embed third-party services. EMCR does not control those services and is not responsible for their content, security, availability, or privacy practices. The site and its information may change, be interrupted, or contain errors. EMCR will take reasonable steps to maintain the service but does not guarantee uninterrupted availability or that every item of information is complete or current.

8. Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, EMCR is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of, or inability to use, the website. These terms do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, or any rights that applicable law makes mandatory.

9. Changes, privacy, and governing law

EMCR may update these terms as the site or its services change. The “Last updated” date above reflects when this page’s content was last saved. The Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled. These terms are governed by the laws of Nigeria, subject to any mandatory legal protections that apply to you. Any dispute will be handled by a court with appropriate jurisdiction.

10. Contact
