Terms of Use

1. Using this Site

By using the Site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it. Reading is free and needs no account.

2. About Pelican

Pelican Media Development (“Pelican,” “we,” “us”) is a non-commercial publication of news, trainings, publications, reflections, homilies, pictures and videos. We may add, change or pause parts of the Site at any time.

3. Your comments and posts

When you post a comment, a forum post or a testimonial, it remains yours. By posting it you allow Pelican to display it on the Site, and to quote it in our newsletter or on our social media pages, with the name you gave. You can ask us to remove it at any time.

You are responsible for what you post. Only post what is yours to share, including pictures, and do not post other people's private information.

4. Community rules

Please keep the conversation respectful. Do not post anything that:

• insults, harasses or threatens anyone, or attacks people for who they are;
• is false and meant to mislead, or damages someone's reputation unfairly;
• is obscene, violent or otherwise unsuitable for a general audience;
• advertises products or services, or is spam;
• breaks the law or someone else's copyright;
• pretends to be someone else.

5. Moderation

Comments and testimonials are reviewed before they appear. Forum posts appear straight away and may be removed later. We may edit for length, decline to publish, or remove anything that breaks these rules, and we may block anyone who repeatedly does. If you see something that breaks the rules, use the report option in the forum or write to us.

6. Our content

The stories, reflections, homilies, pictures, videos and design of the Site belong to Pelican or the people who created them. You are welcome to share links to them and to quote short passages with credit to Pelican Media Development. Please ask us before republishing a whole article, picture or video.

7. Videos and outside links

Some videos are played from YouTube or Vimeo, and some stories link to other websites. Those services and sites have their own terms, and we are not responsible for their content.

8. Views and reflections

Reflections, homilies and trainings are shared for information, formation and encouragement. They are not legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Comments, forum posts and testimonials express the views of the people who wrote them, not necessarily those of Pelican.

9. No warranties

We work to keep the Site accurate and available, but it is provided “as is.” We cannot promise that it will always be available, error-free or up to date.

10. Limitation of liability

As far as the law allows, Pelican and the people who run it are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the Site, from content posted by other users, or from outside sites and services linked from it.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The new version will be posted here with a new effective date, and continuing to use the Site after that means you accept it.
