When these Terms of Service use “Ashoka“, “we“, “us“, or “our” (and other related variations), they refer to Fundación Ashoka Emprendedores Sociales (“Ashoka España“), located at Calle de Méndez Álvaro, 9, 28045, Madrid.

Changes will be posted on the Website via a link on our home page, and the “Effective Date” at the top of the page will be updated. Registered users will be notified by email with information about the changes. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, your continued use of the Website after any changes become effective indicates your acceptance of the modified Terms of Service. Unless expressly stated otherwise by Ashoka, any new features, new services, enhancements or modifications to the Website implemented after you initially access the Website will be subject to the Terms of Service. 

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE INCLUDE WAIVER BY YOU OF ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES AGAINST US THAT MAY ARISE FROM YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. BY USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU ACCEPT THIS WAIVER, UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

You agree that when you post User Provided Content or information on the Website, you are permitting all users of the Website to access and use your content or information, and to associate it with you (e.g., your profile name and picture). 

In order to ensure that the Website remains available to support Ashoka’s mission, by accepting these Terms of Service, you are granting broad permission for the exploitation, redistribution and reuse of all content you contribute or post to the Website under (i) the “Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported” (CC BY-SA 3.0), under which you permit your content to be shared and adapted for any purpose, including commercially, in compliance with the terms applicable to the license; and (ii) the “GNU Free Documentation License”, under which you permit your content to be copied or redistributed, with or without modification, in a commercial or non-commercial manner, in compliance with the terms applicable to the license.

If any provision or part of the Terms of Service is determined to be contrary to applicable law, the interpretation of such provision or part thereof shall be modified only as necessary to comply with applicable law. Hence, such provision shall be interpreted as closely as possible while complying with applicable law to reflect the provision as it is drafted, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

The terms “includes,” “include,” “including,” “which include” mean “including without limitation” as used herein. Failure of Ashoka to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged by Ashoka in writing.
