4. Information and no professional advice

We aim to keep website information accurate, relevant, and accessible. However, programme details, opportunities, dates, external links, and other content may change. Website content is provided for general information and should not be treated as legal, medical, financial, safeguarding, employment, or other professional advice.

For decisions that may affect your rights, health, safety, finances, or legal position, seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional or responsible authority.

5. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the website design, TurningPoint name and logo, original text, graphics, photographs, videos, publications, and other materials are owned by or licensed to TurningPoint Foundation and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may quote brief extracts and link to our public pages with appropriate attribution. You may not reproduce substantial content, remove credits, alter our logo, imply endorsement, or use our materials commercially without written permission. Materials credited to third parties remain subject to their own terms.

6. Messages, applications, and other submissions

When you contact us or submit information through a website form, you confirm that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are authorised to provide it. Do not submit unnecessary sensitive personal information.

Submitting a message, proposal, application, expression of interest, or partnership request does not create a contract, guarantee funding, employment, participation, selection, or a response within a particular period.

7. External websites and services

The website may link to third-party websites, platforms, social-media services, donors, partners, and resources. These links are provided for convenience and information. TurningPoint Foundation does not control those services and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, accessibility, or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily mean that we endorse every statement or service on the linked website.

8. Website availability and security

We work to keep the website available and secure, but uninterrupted or error-free access cannot be guaranteed. We may update, suspend, restrict, or remove parts of the website for maintenance, security, legal, or operational reasons.

You are responsible for using suitable devices, software, and security precautions when accessing the website.

9. Limitation of responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, TurningPoint Foundation is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from reliance on website content, temporary unavailability, third-party links, or events beyond our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms excludes responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Accessibility and respectful participation

We aim to make our digital information usable by persons with different disabilities and access needs. Please tell us if you encounter an accessibility barrier or need information in another format.

We expect respectful, non-discriminatory communication. Messages containing harassment, hate, threats, exploitation, or serious safeguarding concerns may be restricted, retained, or referred to an appropriate authority where necessary and lawful.

11. Privacy and cookies

Our collection and use of personal information are explained in our Privacy Policy. The website uses limited cookies or local storage for functions such as remembering whether the cookie notice has been accepted.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when our website, services, organisational practices, or legal requirements change. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new review date. Continued use of the website after an update means the revised terms apply from their effective date.

13. Applicable law

These terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh. Any dispute should first be raised with TurningPoint Foundation in good faith so that an appropriate resolution can be explored. Where a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be handled by the courts or other competent authorities of Bangladesh, subject to applicable law.
