RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONTENT
- you are responsible and agree to take responsibility for all content published, distributed or linked to your Campaign and/or Account, as well as to abide by the relevant copyright laws.
- you access other Users' Content at your own risk. We aren't liable for any errors or omissions in User Content, or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We do not review User Content and any issues with that User Content should be directed to the User who provided the content. You are responsible for your interactions with other Users.
Notwithstanding this, if we reasonably believe that any parts of User Content breach any laws, infringe the rights of any third party, or otherwise breach these Terms and/or Agreement with us (“Prohibited Content”), we may terminate, suspend, or disable access to the related User Account and/or Campaign. We may also do this where the Prohibited Content may disrupt or threaten CISTA, or in accordance with applicable law or any judicial, regulatory or other governmental order or request. If this happens, we will provide prompt notice to you (unless prohibited by law) for your rectification within 48 hours of our notice. We retain the discretion to terminate Accounts and/or Campaigns of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
User Content may also contain links or connections to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us. When you access third-party websites or use third-party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that we are not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave CISTA and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third-party website or service that you visit or utilise. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practises of or opinions expressed in any third-party websites or by any third-party that you interact with through the User Content and/or CISTA. By using CISTA, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or service.
CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISING
A Campaign may raise funds on CISTA by collecting donations from Users or by selling merchandise through its Campaign eStore (“Campaign Fundraising”).
You may wish to support such Campaign Fundraising efforts. When you do so, please note that all transfers of funds to a Campaign, whether by way of donation or purchase (“Funds”), are at your own risk. It is your responsibility to understand how your Funds will be used by a Campaigner. We do not and cannot verify the information that the Campaigners supply, nor do we represent or guarantee that the Funds will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by a Campaigner or in accordance with applicable laws. We do not offer refunds for any reason whatsoever, so please take care not to inadvertently or mistakenly transfer Funds to a Campaign or allow unauthorised access to your account causing this to happen.
However, we take possible fraudulent activity and the misuse of Funds very seriously. If you have reason to believe that a Campaigner is not using the Funds for their stated purpose, please email us at support@cista.community to alert our team of this potential issue and we will take the appropriate action.
Likewise, a Campaigner is wholly responsible for the goods or services (“Goods”) sold on a Campaign eStore. We do not make any guarantees as to the quality, fitness, and legality for sale of such Goods. However, if you have reason to believe a Campaigner is using the eStore in any illegal or unauthorised manner or for like purpose, please email us at support@cista.community.
Please be aware that no Campaign Fundraising may be done through CISTA such that Funds are raised in exchange for equity, revenue sharing or investment projects. We are not and do not hold ourselves out as a registered market operator authorised by the Securities Commission Malaysia (or its counterpart in any other jurisdiction) to carry out business as an equity, peer-to-peer, or property crowdfunding operator or platform.
CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY
We take confidentiality very seriously and all our employees agree to strict confidentiality obligations. Any wilful violation of those confidentiality obligations is a fireable offence and grounds for legal action. On this basis, we grant some of our employees access to your Confidential Information to the extent necessary for the functioning of CISTA.
FORCE MAJEURE
We shall not be liable to you or any other person, firm or entity for any failure of performance under these Terms if such failure affecting us or our service providers and contractors is due to any cause or causes outside of our control, including, but not limited to, strikes, labor disputes, lockouts, or work stoppages, or other labor difficulties, shortages of labor or materials, riots, vandalism, civil disturbances, acts of terrorism, wars, third-party provider outages, cable cuts, power crisis shortages, infrastructure outages or failures, internet failures, computer equipment failures, telecommunication equipment failures, other equipment failures, electrical power failures, loss of or fluctuations in heat, light, or air conditioning, inclement weather, fires, floods, storms, explosions, and other uncontrollable acts of God or nature, or other similar occurrences; any law, order, regulation, direction, action or request of the United States or foreign government (including state and local governmental agency, department, commission, court, bureau, corporation or other instrumentality of any one or more of said governments) or of any civil or military authority, or national emergencies.
