Terms of
Service.

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the AHSC website, including its articles, resources, forms, and other digital materials. By using the website, you confirm that you have read and agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you use the website for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to do so on its behalf. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the website.

This website presents general information about AHSC, our capabilities, perspectives, and selected resources. Content is provided for general informational purposes and may not reflect the complete scope or current status of a particular programme, law, guideline, or body of evidence.

Website content is not medical, clinical, legal, financial, or other regulated professional advice. Decisions should be based on advice appropriate to your circumstances and the relevant jurisdiction.

You may access and use the website for lawful personal, educational, or internal professional purposes. You may download or print limited extracts for those purposes, provided that you preserve attribution and do not alter the meaning of the material.

Any use of AHSC materials in a publication, commercial product, training programme, dataset, or public communication may require our prior written permission and appropriate citation.

You must not:

• Use the website in violation of any applicable law or another person’s rights.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its systems, accounts, or connected infrastructure.
• Introduce malware, harmful code, automated requests, or activity that disrupts or places an unreasonable load on the website.
• Scrape, harvest, republish, sell, or create a competing database from website content without written permission.
• Misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or endorsement by AHSC.
• Remove copyright, trademark, attribution, or other proprietary notices.

We may restrict or block access where we reasonably believe these terms, the security of the website, or the rights of others are at risk.

The website and its original content, design, graphics, branding, reports, tools, and other materials are owned by or licensed to AHSC and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Africa Health Survey Consultants, AHSC, and associated marks may not be used in a way that suggests sponsorship or endorsement without permission.

Third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners and may be subject to separate licence terms. No rights are granted except the limited right to use the website in accordance with these terms.

You are responsible for ensuring that information submitted through the website is accurate, lawful, and does not infringe another person’s rights. Do not submit confidential client material, identifiable patient information, or sensitive research data through a general contact form.

Sending an enquiry does not require AHSC to accept an engagement, preserve unsolicited material as confidential, or provide services. If we proceed with work, the scope, fees, confidentiality, data responsibilities, and deliverables will be set out in a separate written agreement.

These website terms do not replace a proposal, statement of work, research protocol, data-processing agreement, or consultancy contract. Where a separate agreement exists between AHSC and a client or partner, that agreement governs the relevant engagement.

Descriptions of services, sectors, credentials, or previous work on this website are illustrative. They are not a guarantee that a particular service, team member, result, or timetable will be available for a future engagement.

The website may link to third-party websites, publications, or tools for context or convenience. AHSC does not control those resources and is not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, content, or privacy practices.

A link does not necessarily imply endorsement. You access third-party services at your own discretion and should review their applicable terms and privacy notices.

We aim to keep the website useful and available, but we do not promise uninterrupted or error-free access. We may update, suspend, withdraw, or restrict any part of the website without notice where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, operational, or legal reasons.

We may correct errors and update or remove content at any time. You are responsible for ensuring that anyone who accesses the website through your connection is aware of these terms.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website is provided on an “as available” basis. AHSC makes no guarantee that content is complete, current, suitable for a particular purpose, or free from technical defects or harmful components.

Public-health evidence and policy environments evolve. You should independently verify important information before relying on it and obtain qualified advice where appropriate.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, AHSC and its directors, employees, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising from access to, inability to use, or reliance on this general website.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Any liability arising from a paid professional engagement is governed by the agreement for that engagement, not these website terms.

You are responsible for your use of the website and for reasonable losses, claims, or costs resulting from your unlawful use, your material breach of these terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

We will take reasonable steps to mitigate loss and will not seek recovery for matters caused by AHSC’s own unlawful conduct.

These website terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, without limiting any mandatory consumer or statutory protections that apply to you. The courts of Kenya will have jurisdiction over disputes relating to these terms, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Before starting formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us so that we can try to resolve the concern promptly and in good faith.

We may revise these terms to reflect changes to the website, our operations, or applicable requirements. Revised terms take effect when posted on this page, unless a later date is stated.

Your continued use of the website after an update means the revised terms apply to that use. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
