Other Terms of Website Service

FHI does its best to ensure the information posted on this Site is timely and accurate. But information changes over time and reports that were accurate when posted can become outdated. Though we may post follow-up reports, and may continue to provide access to the original reports, as in an archive of publications, we do not necessarily change the original report to reflect new developments. If you seek the most recent information on a given subject, please verify the publication date of the materials you are reviewing. FHI recommends that its research, reports, and other information be downloaded directly from this Site (www.fhi.org) and not through other sources that may change the information in some way or exclude material crucial to the understanding of that information. 

Disclaimer of Warranty or Liability

With thousands of documents available, often uploaded within short deadlines, and the possibility of human and mechanical error, FHI cannot guarantee that text will be without error. All information is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. FHI makes no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of the contents of this Site and expressly disclaims liability for errors and omissions in the content of this Site.  FHI does not assume any legal liability for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, product, or process disclosed herein, can not guarantee freedom from computer virus, and does not represent that use of such information, product, or process would not infringe on privately owned rights. Under no circumstances shall FHI or its affiliates, agents or licensors be liable to you or to anyone else for any damages arising out of use of the Site, including, without limitation, liability for consequential, special, incidental, indirect or similar damages, even if we are advised beforehand of the possibility of such damages.

In such states and countries, the liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. You agree that the liability of FHI and its affiliates, agents and licensors, if any, arising out of any kind of legal claim in any way connected to the Site shall not exceed the amount you paid to FHI for your use of the Site.

Changes and Updates to FHI Web Policies

The Internet is constantly evolving and changing media; therefore, we may change the terms of this Website User Agreement from time to time. By continuing to use any part of the Site after we post such changes, you accept the policies as modified. We may also change, restrict access to, suspend or discontinue the Site, or any portion of the Site, at any time. Changes to our policies will be updated here on a regular basis.

Privacy Policy at FHI

• Date, time, country and city location from which you access our site
• Internet address of the Website from which you came to visit our site
• Web pages and files you view or download while you visit our Website

FHI and the Use of Cookies

In general, the Site does NOT use the "cookies" that some Websites use to gather and store information about your visits. Cookies are essentially tokens of information, such as preferences and passwords, which some web servers collect when you access them. That data is stored on your hard drive--not on the Website's server. When you visit a "cookie" site, the server looks for its cookie on your hard drive and reads the information it stored there. Read your Web browser's help files to learn more about cookies.

Credit Card Transaction Security

We are grateful for donations to help support our work, and take precautions to protect Website visitors' personal information. FHI has contracted with Groundspring.org to process FHI's online credit card donations. Groundspring.org uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt all data submitted to and from its Website.

Electronic News Subscription Privacy

FHI will not sell or otherwise make available to any third party names, emails addresses, postal addresses, or other personal information from its electronic news subscription list. FHI uses a double opt-in system that sends a confirmation email to new subscribers to make sure that they want to be added to FHI's electronic news subscription list. Subscribers may choose to unsubscribe at any time. Unsubscribe information is located at the bottom of each electronic news update that FHI sends to subscribers, as well as at Groundspring.org. Individuals who donate to FHI through this Site are not automatically added to FHI's electronic news subscription list.

FHI stores all email addresses submitted through its online sign-up form on a secure server hosted by a third party, Groundspring.org, which does not access the contents of FHI's email address list. FHI will not sell or otherwise make available names, email addresses, postal addresses, or other information from its electronic news subscription list to any third party.

Legal Requirements

Though FHI makes every effort to preserve user privacy, there may be times when FHI needs to disclose personal information when required by law. Examples of such requirements include responding to a court order or in response to requests from law enforcement authorities. 

Privacy Policies of Other Websites

The Site includes links to other Websites. When you click to other Websites, FHI is not responsible for, and has no control over, the information collection or privacy practices of that site. It is important that you review and understand the privacy policies posted on any linked sites you visit before volunteering any of your personal information. These sites may also collect cookies or allow third-party advertisers on their sites to collect cookies. You can often find information regarding a site and its privacy policy on the site's home page.
