Disclaimer Policy
This Disclaimer Policy explains the limits of the information published on East Africa Legal Insight. It is intended to protect readers, clarify expectations and preserve the educational purpose of the Website.
1. General information only
The content published on East Africa Legal Insight is provided for general legal information, public legal education, research, commentary and discussion. It is not legal advice, professional advice, financial advice, tax advice or a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who has reviewed the specific facts of a matter.
Legal rights and obligations depend on facts, documents, deadlines, procedure, jurisdiction and changes in law. A reader should not act, delay action or rely on any article, guide, case note, checklist or comment on this Website without obtaining appropriate advice for their specific circumstances.
2. No lawyer-client relationship
Use of this Website, reading content, downloading materials, sending an email, submitting a comment or contacting the Website does not create a lawyer-client, advocate-client, consultant-client, fiduciary or professional advisory relationship.
A professional relationship is created only where there is a separate written agreement or engagement letter confirming the scope of services, fees, responsibilities, confidentiality terms and applicable professional obligations.
3. No guarantee of accuracy, completeness or current law
We aim to publish careful, useful and responsible legal information. However, we do not warrant that every item on the Website is complete, current, accurate, suitable for every jurisdiction or free from error.
Laws, policies, court decisions, administrative practices, fees, procedures and institutional requirements may change after publication. Readers should verify information from official sources and qualified advisers before relying on it.
4. Jurisdictional limitations
The Website may discuss law and policy in Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, South Sudan, the East African Community and comparative jurisdictions. Content may not apply outside the jurisdiction discussed, and even within a jurisdiction it may not apply to every case.
Where an article refers to a country, court, law, regulation, treaty or institution, that reference should not be treated as a complete statement of the law.
5. Research, commentary and opinion
Some content reflects legal analysis, academic commentary, policy opinion or research interpretation. Such content is not an official statement by any court, government, regulator, university, donor, professional body or institution unless expressly stated.
Views expressed in guest posts, interviews or contributed materials belong to their respective authors and do not necessarily represent the position of East Africa Legal Insight.
6. External links
The Website may link to courts, laws, government bodies, universities, international organisations, journals, professional bodies, news sources, databases, private websites and third-party resources.
External links are provided for convenience and reference only. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, security, privacy practices, advertising practices or content.
7. Advertising, affiliate links and sponsored material
The Website may display advertisements, including advertisements served by Google or other advertising partners. Advertising does not constitute endorsement of the advertiser, product, service, claim or linked website.
If sponsored content, paid collaborations, affiliate links or advertising partnerships are used, we aim to identify them clearly where required by applicable law or ethical practice. Readers should independently evaluate any advertised service or product before engaging with it.
8. Downloadable materials and templates
Any forms, templates, checklists, sample clauses, guides or downloadable materials are provided for general information only. They may require adaptation to the facts, jurisdiction, procedure and current law applicable to a specific matter.
Use of a template does not guarantee legal validity, court acceptance, regulatory acceptance, enforceability or suitability.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, East Africa Legal Insight and its administrators, authors, contributors and affiliated persons will not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, claim or consequence arising from use of, reliance on, delay in relying on, inability to use or interpretation of information on the Website.
This includes direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, reputational, financial, business, professional or data-related loss, whether arising in contract, tort, negligence, statute or otherwise.
