The website provides information about our mission, programmes, events, opportunities, educational resources and ways to get involved.

The availability of individual programmes or activities may change. Publication of a programme or initiative does not necessarily mean that applications are open or that the activity is currently operating.

4Website Content and Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, original content created for the Gals Voices website—including written materials, graphics and branding—remains the property of its respective owner.

You may view, share links to and use publicly available content for personal, educational or other permitted purposes, subject to applicable copyright law and any specific licence or usage conditions. You must not reproduce, commercially exploit, modify or redistribute protected material in a way that infringes the rights of Gals Voices or another rights holder.

Third-party names, logos, photographs and documents remain subject to their respective ownership and permissions. Their appearance on the website does not automatically grant permission for reuse. If you believe content on the website infringes your rights, please contact us with sufficient information for us to review the concern.

5Educational Resources and External Links

Gals Voices may provide articles, guides, downloadable resources, learning materials and links to external educational platforms or organisations. These materials are provided for general informational and educational purposes and, unless expressly stated otherwise, do not constitute professional, medical, legal, financial or other specialist advice.

We aim to share useful and relevant information, but we cannot guarantee that every external resource will remain available, current, accurate or suitable for every individual. External websites operate independently and may have their own terms, privacy policies and requirements.

6Programmes, Events and Opportunities

Information about programmes, events, scholarships, training, mentorship, volunteering and other opportunities may be published on the website. Unless expressly stated otherwise:

• Eligibility requirements and application instructions may vary.
• Deadlines, schedules, availability and programme details may change.
• An application or expression of interest does not guarantee acceptance, selection, funding, employment or participation.
• Third-party opportunities are governed by the relevant provider's rules and conditions.
• Any fees, funding arrangements or financial commitments must be communicated clearly before a person is expected to make a decision.

Visitors should check the latest published details and contact the relevant organiser if clarification is needed.

7User Submissions and Contributions

You may be able to submit messages, application information, feedback, photographs, testimonials or other content through website forms or approved channels. You are responsible for ensuring that information you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the necessary rights and permissions to provide any content you share.

Submitting content does not automatically grant Gals Voices permission to publish it publicly. Any public use of personal stories, photographs, testimonials or other identifiable material will be handled subject to appropriate permissions, safeguarding requirements and applicable law. You should not submit confidential, highly sensitive or unnecessary personal information through a general contact form. Personal information submitted through the website is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

8Website Availability and Accuracy

We aim to maintain a useful, accessible and reliable website. However, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation or that every item of information will always be complete or up to date. We may update, suspend, remove or change website content and features as our activities and requirements evolve. We will make reasonable efforts to correct material errors when they are identified.

9Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Gals Voices is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on inaccurate or outdated information, temporary website unavailability, or the use of independent third-party websites. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including any liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law. The final wording of this section should be reviewed for enforceability under the laws applicable to Gals Voices.

10Privacy and Safeguarding

Use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy. Gals Voices aims to maintain a respectful and safe environment, particularly where activities involve girls, young people or other participants who may require additional protection. Users must not use the website or any related communication channel to exploit, harass, threaten or endanger others. Concerns about inappropriate content, misuse of personal information or safeguarding should be reported through an official contact channel.

11Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms of Use when our website, services, activities or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date. Where appropriate, significant changes will be brought to users' attention. Continued use of the website after revised terms take effect will be subject to the updated terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

12Applicable Law and Disputes

These terms are subject to applicable law. The appropriate governing law, jurisdiction and dispute-resolution arrangements must be confirmed based on Gals Voices' legal status, operational circumstances and relevant legal advice. Nothing in this section removes any rights or protections that cannot lawfully be excluded.
