1. Purpose of this website
This website provides general information about War Child, our mission, programmes, activities, publications, campaigns, projects and other related matters.
The information on this website is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to constitute personal, professional, legal, judicial, financial, medical or other specialised advice, or any equivalent thereof. You should obtain appropriate professional advice where necessary.
This website is not intended to process donations, but it does support the facilitation of donations to other War Child entities through referral and restricted provision of account information.
Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure that information published on this website is accurate and up to date, we do not guarantee that all information is complete, accurate, current or suitable for any particular purpose.
The contents of this website can be changed, improved, supplemented or deleted without notice in advance (including hyperlinks).
2. Use of this website
You may use this website for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You must not:
- use this website for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website or its systems;
- introduce viruses, malware or other harmful material;
- interfere with the security, operation or availability of the website;
- impersonate War Child or another person or organisation;
- use the website to distribute content that is unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory, threatening or otherwise inappropriate; or
- use automated systems to access, copy or collect website content in a manner that is prohibited by applicable law or that interferes with the operation of the website.
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the website where we reasonably consider that these Terms have been breached. If you find any incorrect or incomplete information, please inform us via info@warchild.net.
3. Availability and security
We aim to keep the website available and secure, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors or harmful components. War Child does not guarantee that any code, cookies, files or data downloaded through this website will be free of viruses or contamination or destructive features.
4. Publications and other information
Reports, research, statistics, policy documents and other publications made available through this website are provided for information purposes.
Where information originates from third parties, we will endeavour to identify the relevant source. The inclusion of third-party information does not mean that War Child endorses every statement, conclusion or position expressed by that third party.
Information concerning countries, humanitarian situations, conflicts, development programmes or other circumstances may change rapidly. Users should take this into account when relying on such information.
5. Donations
Where this website provides an option to make a donation, donations are processed in accordance with the applicable donation terms and the terms and conditions of your payment provider.
Unless otherwise stated at the time of donation, a donation is an unrestricted contribution to War Child and may be used to support our mission and activities.
Where a donation is expressly designated for a particular programme or purpose, we will endeavour to use it for that purpose. If circumstances make this impossible, impracticable or unnecessary, we may use the funds for a substantially similar charitable purpose, subject to applicable law and any restrictions imposed on the donation.
We do not provide tax advice. Whether a donation is tax-deductible depends on the applicable laws and circumstances of the donor.
6. Personal data and privacy
We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Dutch legislation.
Further information about how we collect, use and protect personal data is provided in our Privacy Statement.
