Terms & Conditions

Section 01Acceptance of these terms

These terms form an agreement between you and GhasaWeb whenever you visit the website, open an account, subscribe to a newsletter, post a comment, submit an article, upload media, purchase advertising or use any other GhasaWeb feature.

Additional rules, prices, campaign conditions or notices displayed within a particular service also apply to that service. Where a specific written agreement has been signed, that agreement will apply together with these terms.

Section 02Eligibility and accounts

You must be legally able to enter into an agreement in your country. A parent or legal guardian must supervise use by anyone who is not legally able to agree on their own behalf.

• Provide accurate, current and complete registration information.
• Keep your password and account access confidential.
• Do not create an account using another person’s identity or contact details.
• Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.
• You are responsible for activity carried out through your account, except where prohibited by law.

We may request reasonable verification before approving an account, advertiser, contributor profile, payment, listing or other submitted information.

Section 03GhasaWeb services

GhasaWeb may provide news, opinions, interviews, photographs, videos, radio, television, podcasts, comments, newsletters, directories, job or worker listings, user-submitted articles, advertising and other media or community services.

Features may be introduced, modified, suspended or discontinued. We do not guarantee that every service will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free or compatible with every device, browser or internet connection.

Section 04User content and submissions

You retain ownership of original material you submit, subject to the licence described below. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your submission is accurate, lawful and properly authorised.

By submitting content to GhasaWeb, you confirm that:

• You created it or have all permissions, releases and licences required to use it.
• It does not unlawfully copy, expose, defame, threaten, harass or mislead another person.
• It does not contain confidential information you are not authorised to disclose.
• Any person shown or identified has provided consent where consent is required.
• Your headlines, captions, dates, sources and factual claims are not deliberately deceptive.

You grant GhasaWeb a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, edit, format, translate, publish, promote, distribute and display the submitted content through GhasaWeb’s website, applications, newsletters, social platforms and other publishing channels. This licence exists so that we can operate, promote and archive the service. You may request removal, but copies may remain where retention is required for legal, security, backup or record-keeping purposes.

Section 05Editorial review and moderation

Submission does not guarantee publication. GhasaWeb may verify, fact-check, edit, shorten, correct, categorise, add a headline, request evidence, delay, reject, unpublish, archive or remove content in accordance with editorial, legal, safety, quality and technical requirements.

We may label content as opinion, sponsored, developing, corrected, updated or unverified where appropriate. Material may also be removed following a credible complaint, court order, rights claim, safety concern or breach of these terms.

Section 06Acceptable use

You must not use GhasaWeb to:

• Break any applicable law, regulation, court order or legally enforceable right.
• Publish hate speech, unlawful discrimination, credible threats, harassment or targeted abuse.
• Upload malware, harmful code, spam, deceptive links or material designed to damage or disrupt systems.
• Attempt to bypass security, access controls, moderation, payment checks or account restrictions.
• Collect personal information from other users without a lawful basis and appropriate notice.
• Artificially inflate views, clicks, reactions, advertising impressions, votes or other engagement.
• Scrape, copy or republish substantial parts of GhasaWeb without written permission or a lawful exception.
• Use the platform for fraud, impersonation, unauthorised fundraising or misleading commercial activity.

We may investigate suspected misuse and preserve relevant records. Where appropriate, we may report conduct to affected parties, service providers or lawful authorities.

Section 07Copyright and intellectual property

GhasaWeb’s branding, original articles, page designs, graphics, software, databases, compilations and other platform material are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Third-party names, logos and content remain the property of their respective owners.

You may share normal links to publicly available pages and use limited quotations where legally permitted and properly attributed. You may not reproduce, sell, rebrand, mirror, systematically download or commercially exploit protected material without permission.

Rights holders may send a detailed complaint identifying the protected work, the disputed content, its location, their authority to act and reliable contact details. We may remove or restrict content while reviewing a claim.

Section 08Advertising and paid services

Advertising is subject to availability, approval, the selected placement, dimensions, duration, price, payment status and campaign requirements displayed by GhasaWeb or agreed in writing.

• Advertisers must provide truthful, lawful and properly licensed material.
• GhasaWeb may reject, pause, block or remove an advertisement that is misleading, unsafe, unsuitable or non-compliant.
• Advertisers are responsible for offers, products, services, fulfilment, customer support and claims made in their advertisements.
• Campaign dates and positions may be adjusted where required by technical, editorial or operational conditions.
• Unless expressly guaranteed in writing, GhasaWeb does not promise a particular number of clicks, enquiries, sales or conversions.

Free advertisement placements may have additional limits and may be changed, suspended or withdrawn. Payment and refund conditions displayed at checkout or on an invoice form part of these terms.

Section 09Third-party services and links

GhasaWeb may embed or link to external websites, social networks, payment providers, advertising networks, media players, maps, job listings and other third-party services. Their own terms, policies and security practices apply when you use them.

A link, mention, listing or advertisement does not automatically mean that GhasaWeb owns, controls, verifies or endorses the third party. You should assess external offers and websites before sharing information, making a payment or entering an agreement.

Section 10News and service disclaimers

News develops quickly and may change after publication. Although GhasaWeb aims to publish useful and accurate information, content is provided for general information and may contain errors, omissions, delays, opinions or information supplied by third parties.

GhasaWeb content is not a substitute for professional legal, medical, financial, immigration, employment, safety or other specialist advice. You should obtain advice appropriate to your circumstances before making important decisions.

Job, worker, classified and community listings connect users but do not make GhasaWeb the employer, recruiter, agent, guarantor or party to transactions arranged between users. Verify identities, qualifications, offers and payment requests independently.

Section 11Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, GhasaWeb is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not make warranties that the platform will always be available, secure, uninterrupted, complete or free from technical errors.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GhasaWeb and its owners, officers, workers, contributors and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of, inability to use, or reliance on the platform, user content, advertisements or external services.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited. Your statutory consumer and data-protection rights remain unaffected.

Section 12Suspension and termination

You may stop using GhasaWeb at any time. Subject to applicable law and any paid-service agreement, we may warn, restrict, suspend, block or close an account or service where we reasonably believe there has been a breach, security threat, fraudulent activity, repeated rights infringement, payment failure or risk to users or the platform.

Provisions intended to continue after termination—including ownership, licences, disclaimers, liability limits, payment obligations and dispute provisions—will remain effective.

Section 13Changes to these terms

We may update these terms to reflect changes in GhasaWeb’s services, legal obligations, security measures or business operations. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when changes are published.

Where a change is significant, we may also provide notice through the website, an account message or email. Continued use after updated terms take effect means you accept the revised terms, except where the law requires another form of consent.

Section 14Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the applicable laws of Ghana, without removing any mandatory protections you may have under the laws that apply where you live. Parties should first try to resolve a concern in good faith by contacting GhasaWeb.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue to apply. A delay in enforcing a term does not waive the right to enforce it later.
