Responsible use of the Rise Impact Foundation website.
Last updated: 11 November 2026
Policy under development — awaiting formal institutional approval.
1. Introduction and acceptance
These draft terms describe intended conditions for using this website. Please read them together with the Privacy Policy. Formal institutional approval is pending. If you disagree with an applicable condition, discontinue the relevant use and contact RIF for clarification.
2. About Rise Impact Foundation
RIF is a non-profit, non-partisan foundation operating in accordance with Ghanaian law. Its purpose includes empowering young people and underserved communities through education, leadership, mentorship, volunteerism, skills, entrepreneurship and community-based interventions. No legal registration number is asserted here.
3. Access and permitted use
You may browse and use the website for lawful personal, educational and institutional information purposes. Use available forms honestly and respectfully; do not disrupt other people’s access.
4. Intellectual property
RIF names, branding and original website material must not be reproduced, modified or commercially used without appropriate authorisation, except where law or an explicit licence permits. Third-party rights remain with their owners.
5. Copyright and photography
Photographs, recordings, publications and stories may have separate rights and consent restrictions. Do not reuse identifiable images without permission. Clearly labelled illustrative images and sample profiles are not evidence of actual RIF personnel or activities.
6. User-submitted information
Provide accurate information that you are entitled to share. Do not submit unlawful, abusive or unnecessarily sensitive material. Submitting information permits its use for the disclosed enquiry or reporting purpose, not unrestricted publication.
7. Accuracy of information
Website information is provided for general informational purposes. RIF aims for accuracy but content may change or contain errors. Proposed initiatives, pending documents and illustrative content are identified as such. Verify important details with RIF before relying on them.
8. External links
Third-party links are provided for convenience and do not automatically imply endorsement. External providers are responsible for their own content and practices.
9. Third-party services
Google hosts the volunteer application. Banks and MTN Mobile Money process transfers outside this website. Their terms and privacy practices apply to their services. RIF does not request payment PINs, passwords or one-time codes.
10. Availability
Website access may be interrupted for maintenance, technical faults or circumstances outside reasonable control. RIF does not guarantee uninterrupted access.
11. Liability
Use reasonable judgement when relying on general information. Any limitation of responsibility applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing here excludes liability or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable protections relating to fraud or other unlawful conduct.
12. Personal information
The Privacy Policy explains the currently implemented collection and handling of information. Private submissions must not be accessed without authorisation.
13. Security and prohibited activities
Do not attempt unauthorised access, interfere with systems, distribute malicious code, scrape private records, impersonate others or misuse reporting channels. Lawful security concerns can be reported to RIF without accessing or exposing private information.
14. Programmes and opportunities
Announcements are subject to stated eligibility, deadlines and conditions. An enquiry does not guarantee programme acceptance. A volunteer application does not automatically confer membership or appointment. Proposed initiatives are not necessarily open or operational.
15. Donations and sponsorship
Contributions are made through the displayed bank or mobile money channels, not a website payment gateway. Confirm recipient details before sending. A copy button is not a transaction or a receipt. Sponsorship proposals require discussion and agreement; no acceptance, benefit, tax treatment or refund entitlement is promised by an enquiry. Contact RIF promptly about mistaken transfers; resolution depends on the circumstances, provider and applicable law.
16. Changes
RIF may update website content and these terms. The last-updated date identifies the latest published version; material changes should be communicated where appropriate.
17. Applicable law
These terms are intended to be governed by Ghanaian law. Disputes are subject to competent courts and applicable mandatory rights; seek clarification or resolution with RIF first where appropriate.
