Welcome to Tuuze. By accessing www.tuuze.co.ke, you are agreeing to the following terms. These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you and tuuze.co.ke and are effective as of 29 February 2017 for current users, and upon acceptance for new users. You accept these Terms of Use by clicking the "Create Account" button when registering a Tuuze account and by otherwise accessing or using the Tuuze website, services, applications and tools, including posting an ad; or as otherwise indicated on our site, service, application or tool.
As a condition of your use of Tuuze.co.ke, you agree that you will not:
You are solely responsible for all information that you submit to Tuuze and any consequences that may result from your post. We reserve the right at our discretion to refuse or delete content that we believe is inappropriate or breaching the above terms. We also reserve the right at our discretion to restrict a user's usage of Tuuze either temporarily or permanently, or refuse a user's registration. If we believe that you are breaching these Terms of Use in any way and/or behaving suspiciously on the Tuuze websites, services, applications or tools, we may, at our discretion, inform other Tuuze users that have been in contact with you and recommend that they exercise caution.
Tuuze and the Tuuze community work together to keep the Tuuze websites, services, applications and tools working properly and the community safe. Please report problems, offensive content and policy breaches to us using the reporting system.
Without limiting other remedies, we may issue warnings, limit or terminate our service, remove hosted content and take technical and legal steps to keep users off Tuuze if we think that they are creating problems, infringing the rights of third parties or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies (including, without limitation, circumventing temporary or permanent suspensions or harassing the Tuuze employees or other users). However, whether we decide to take any of these steps, remove hosted content or keep a user off Tuuze or not, we do not have any obligation to monitor the information transmitted or stored on our sites, services, applications and tools and we do not accept any liability for unauthorized or unlawful content on Tuuze or use of Tuuze by users.
Using Tuuze is generally free, but we sometimes charge a fee for certain services. If the service you use incurs a fee, you'll be able to review and accept terms that will be clearly disclosed at the time you post your ad. Our fees are quoted in Kenyan Shillings, and we may change them from time to time. We'll notify you of changes to our fee policy by posting such changes on the Tuuze website. We may choose to temporarily change our fees for promotional events or new services; these changes are effective when we announce the promotional event or new service.
You are responsible for paying the Tuuze fees when they're due. If you don't, without prejudice to any other right or remedy we may be entitled to under these Terms of Use or by law, we may limit your ability to use the services.
You acknowledge that your ads may be deleted from the Tuuze sites, services, applications or tools in case we believe these Terms of Use, including our Posting Rules, are breached, either directly or indirectly. In case you would have paid a fee for the display of such ad, you may be entitled to a refund of such fee. However, we reserve the right not to refund the Tuuze users for any fees paid through use of our sites, services, applications and tools in the following cases:
Please note that the above list is not exhaustive.

You may not disassemble or decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to discover any source code contained in Tuuze. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree not to reproduce, copy, sell, resell, or exploit for any purposes any aspect of Tuuze (other than your own content). When you give us content, you grant us and represent that you have the right to grant us, a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise any and all copyright, publicity, trademarks, design, database and intellectual property rights to that content, in any media whether now known or to be discovered in the future and on all other sites, services, applications and tools that are part of the global Tuuze community, such as Tuuze or our classifieds sites in other countries. In addition, you waive all moral rights you have in the content to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Tuuze may at times use third party data suppliers to supplement the information you have provided in an ad. This could include descriptions, product specifications and other content. You may use such information solely in connection with your Tuuze ad during the time your ad is on the Tuuze site. The information provided may be subject to copyright, trademark and/or other protections. You agree not to remove any such protected information and/or create any derivative works based on the content (other than by including them in your ads).This permission is subject to modification or revocation at any time at Tuuze's sole discretion.
You may not have the opportunity to review all of the supplemental data before posting an ad. Tuuze is not responsible for the accuracy of any third party supplied supplemental data. You continue to be responsible for ensuring that your ads are accurate, do not include misleading information and fully comply with these Terms of Use and all Tuuze policies. If you notice inaccuracies in this data after your ad appears on the site please get in touch with us.
Do not post content that infringes the rights of third parties. This includes, but is not limited to, content that infringes on intellectual property rights such as copyright, design and trademark (e.g. offering counterfeit items for sale). A large number of products of all sorts are offered on Tuuze by private individuals in the UK. Entitled parties, in particular owners of copyright, trademark rights or other rights can report any advertisement which may infringe on their rights, and submit a request for such advertisement to be removed. If a legal representative of the entitled party reports this to us in the correct manner, products infringing on the intellectual property rights will be removed by Tuuze.
Reporting an infringement:
In order to participate in the Notice of Infringement Programme, you only need to complete a contact Form and send it to Tuuze. You can use this form, complete with your contacts, to report advertisements which may infringe on your property rights. The information requested in the Notice of Infringement Form is for the purpose of ensuring that the parties reporting these objects are either the entitled party or their officially authorized representative. This information must also enable Tuuze to identify the advertisement to be removed. Once we have received your correctly completed Notice of Infringement Form, you can simply send later reports to Tuuze via the e-mail address provided.
Note: This form can only be used by the lawful owners of the relevant intellectual property rights. The "Notice of Infringement" is intended to enable rights owners to ensure that products offered by Tuuze users do not infringe their copyright, trademark rights or other intellectual property rights. For all other questions, visitors and advertisers can get help using Tuuze Help.
Nothing in these terms shall limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or the negligence of our agents or employees. You agree not to hold us responsible for things other users post or do.
In no event do we accept liability of any description for the posting of any unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene or indecent information, or material of any kind which violates or infringes upon the rights of any other person, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offence, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable law.
You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee continuous, error-free or secure access to our services or that defects in the service will be corrected.

A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this User Agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party specified in this Agreement or which exists or is available apart from that Act.
By using Tuuze, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage and use of your personal information by Tuuze on our servers. You also agree to receive marketing communications from us unless you tell us that you prefer not receive such communications.
If a dispute arises between you and Tuuze, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by going to the Tuuze Contact page. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.

If we don't enforce any particular provision, we are not waiving our right to do so later. If a court strikes down any of these terms, the remaining terms will survive. We may automatically assign this agreement in our sole discretion in accordance with the notice provision below.
