Terms of Use
Rules for accessing and using AfriBuzzer.
Last reviewed: 12 October 2026
Agreement and scope
These Terms of Use explain the basic conditions for accessing AfriBuzzer, a publication covering African news, public affairs, culture, entertainment, technology, markets, climate and related subjects. By browsing the site, you agree to use it lawfully and in a way that does not interfere with other readers or the publication’s operation. If you do not agree with these terms, discontinue use of the website. Certain services, if added in the future, may have additional conditions presented at the point of use. Those additional terms apply only where they are made available and are consistent with applicable law.
Editorial material and informational purpose
AfriBuzzer publishes articles, explainers, commentary and other editorial material for general information. News can develop quickly, public records can be corrected and reasonable people can interpret events differently. We aim to present material clearly and responsibly, but we do not guarantee that every item is complete, current or free from error at every moment. Content is not a substitute for professional legal, medical, financial, safety or other advice tailored to your circumstances. Readers should verify important information with primary sources or qualified professionals before making decisions that carry material consequences.
No guarantee of uninterrupted service
We work to keep the site available and readable across common devices, but access may occasionally be interrupted by maintenance, hosting problems, network faults, security measures or circumstances beyond our control. Features may be added, altered, suspended or retired. We do not promise that every page, link, image or optional function will remain available indefinitely. A reader’s internet provider, device, browser extensions or security settings may also affect how pages display. If you notice a broken link or technical problem, you may report it through the contact details published on the site.
Acceptable use
You must not use AfriBuzzer to break the law, harass or threaten others, distribute malicious code, attempt unauthorised access, overload the service, evade security controls or interfere with another person’s use. Automated collection of content must respect applicable law, technical restrictions and any permissions or terms that apply. You may not misrepresent yourself as an AfriBuzzer representative or use the site to send spam, fraudulent offers or deceptive submissions. We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the publication, readers, infrastructure or legal rights of others.
Intellectual property and permitted sharing
Unless a page states otherwise, the text, branding, layout and original editorial materials on AfriBuzzer are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party photographs, quotations, marks and other materials remain subject to the rights of their respective owners and may be used under licence, permission or another lawful basis. You may link to publicly accessible articles and quote a limited portion for commentary, criticism, review or reporting where permitted by law, provided you do not mislead readers and give appropriate attribution. Reproducing substantial portions, republishing full articles, removing credits or commercially exploiting material may require written permission from the relevant rights holder.
Reader submissions and communications
If you send a tip, correction, comment or other material, you are responsible for ensuring that you are entitled to share it and that it does not unlawfully disclose another person’s confidential or private information. Please identify allegations, documents and claims that need verification. A submission does not guarantee publication, a reply or payment. Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, sending material does not transfer ownership of your work to AfriBuzzer. You allow the editorial team to review and respond to the message for the purpose for which it was sent. Do not send unlawful content, threats, personal data unrelated to a story or material you are prohibited from disclosing.
External links and third-party services
Articles may link to public institutions, source documents, partner services or other websites for additional context. AfriBuzzer does not control every external page and is not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices or security of third-party services. A link is not necessarily an endorsement. You should review the terms and privacy information of an external provider before submitting information, making a purchase or relying on its statements.
Liability, changes and governing law
To the extent permitted by applicable law, AfriBuzzer is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from reliance on general editorial content, temporary unavailability or external services. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including any mandatory consumer rights that apply. We may revise these terms as the site develops; the updated version will be published on this page with its effective date. These terms are subject to the law and jurisdiction that properly apply to the operator and the reader, without removing any mandatory protections available under local law. Questions about these terms may be sent through the contact channel published on the website.
For questions about this page, use the current contact channel published by AfriBuzzer. This page is general site information and does not replace advice from a qualified professional where one is required.
