Terms and Conditions

Welcome to SavaHub. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the SavaHub website, including all content, features, tools, and services made available on or through the site (collectively, the "Site"). SavaHub is an independent digital news publication covering Kenyan politics, world affairs, sports, business, technology, health, education, and entertainment.

By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site immediately. These Terms apply to all visitors, readers, subscribers, and any other users of the Site.

The Site is intended for general audiences and is available to users of all ages who are able to form a legally binding contract under applicable law, or who are using the Site under the supervision of a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 18, you may use the Site only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

SavaHub strives to provide accurate, verified, and timely news and commentary. However, news is, by nature, developed under time constraints and subject to updates as facts emerge. We do not guarantee that any article, headline, image, or piece of commentary published on the Site is complete, error-free, or permanently accurate, and information may be corrected, updated, or removed without prior notice.

Opinion pieces, editorials, and commentary published on the Site reflect the views of their individual authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of SavaHub as a whole. Readers are encouraged to consult multiple sources when forming conclusions on matters of public importance.

Unless otherwise indicated, all content on the Site — including articles, headlines, graphics, photographs, illustrations, logos, the SavaHub name and marks, layout, and underlying source code — is the property of SavaHub or its licensors and is protected by Kenyan and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may view, download, and print material from the Site for your own personal, non-commercial use only, provided that you do not remove any copyright or proprietary notices. You may not, without our prior written permission:

• Republish, redistribute, or syndicate any article or substantial portion of it on another website, publication, or platform;
• Reproduce, copy, or use our photographs, graphics, or illustrations for commercial purposes;
• Use automated systems, bots, or scrapers to extract or harvest content from the Site;
• Modify, adapt, or create derivative works based on our content;
• Remove bylines, attribution, or copyright notices from any content you share.

You are welcome to share links to our articles on social media and to quote brief excerpts with clear attribution and a link back to the original SavaHub article, consistent with fair use principles.

Where the Site allows readers to submit comments, story tips, feedback, or other content ("User Submissions"), you retain ownership of what you submit. However, by submitting content to SavaHub, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual licence to use, reproduce, edit, publish, and display that content in connection with our journalism and the operation of the Site.

You are solely responsible for the content of your submissions. You agree not to submit material that is defamatory, obscene, threatening, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, misleading, or otherwise unlawful. SavaHub reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to review, edit, refuse to publish, or remove any User Submission at any time and without notice.

When you share a news tip with our editorial desk, we make reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of sources where requested, in line with responsible journalism practice; however, we cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality in all circumstances, including where disclosure is compelled by law.

When using the Site, you agree that you will not:

• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, its servers, or any connected network or database;

• Collect or harvest personal information about other users without their consent.

We reserve the right, without notice, to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Site if we believe, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms.

The Site may display advertisements, sponsored content, and links to third-party websites as part of its operations. Sponsored or promoted content is clearly labelled as such and is kept editorially separate from our independent news reporting; advertisers do not influence our editorial judgement or story selection.

Links to third-party websites are provided for your convenience only. SavaHub does not control and is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of use of any linked third-party sites, and inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement. You access any third-party site entirely at your own risk.

If you subscribe to any SavaHub newsletter, email digest, or notification service, you consent to receiving periodic communications from us related to news updates and Site announcements. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in each communication or by contacting us directly.

The Site and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy of content. SavaHub does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free from errors, viruses, or other harmful components.

Any reliance you place on information published on the Site is strictly at your own risk. Where the Site touches on matters such as health, finance, or legal issues, such content is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional advice; readers should consult a qualified professional before acting on such information.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SavaHub, its owners, editors, staff, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use the Site, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or damage arising from reliance on published content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the laws of Kenya.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SavaHub, its owners, editors, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or any User Submission you provide.

SavaHub is committed to accuracy and fairness. If you believe an article contains a factual error, or if you are the subject of a story and wish to submit a right of reply, please contact our editorial desk with details. We review all such requests promptly and, where warranted, will issue a correction, clarification, or update in line with responsible editorial practice.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Site at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to other users, third parties, or the legitimate interests of SavaHub.

SavaHub may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or applicable law. The updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Kenya, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Kenya.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding these Terms and Conditions, or if you wish to report a factual error, submit a news tip, or raise a complaint about published content, please reach out to our editorial desk through our Contact Us page.
