  • One account per person. Creating multiple accounts is not permitted.
  • We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use this platform only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with its community spirit. You must not:

Violation of acceptable use standards may result in immediate account suspension and, where warranted, referral to relevant authorities.


5. User-Submitted Content

GOSA Global allows members to submit content including profile information, stories, photos, event details, and announcements (“User Content”).

  • You own your content. You retain all intellectual property rights in User Content you submit.
  • You grant GOSA a licence. By submitting content, you grant GOSA Global a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to display, reproduce, and distribute that content on this platform and in GOSA communications (e.g., newsletters, social media) for the purpose of operating and promoting the association.
  • You are responsible for your content. You confirm that you have the right to submit the content and that it does not infringe any third-party rights.
  • We may remove content that violates these Terms or that we consider harmful to the community, without prior notice.

6. Intellectual Property

The GOSA Global name, the GHANASS crest, logos, design elements, and any original content produced by GOSA Global are the intellectual property of the Ghanass Old Students Association and may not be reproduced, distributed, or used for commercial purposes without prior written consent.

The underlying platform code, UI components, and architecture are proprietary. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right or licence to copy, modify, or distribute them.


7. Member Directory & Privacy

Your profile information (name, year group, and any details you choose to add) may be visible to other logged-in members in the alumni directory. You control what you share via your profile settings.

Member contact information obtained through this platform must not be used for unsolicited commercial communications or any purpose unrelated to GOSA community activities.

The platform may contain links to external websites or services. GOSA Global is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of those external sites. Links are provided for convenience only and do not constitute endorsement.


9. Disclaimers

The platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” GOSA Global makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the reliability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose of the platform. We do not guarantee that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components.

Information published on the platform — including event details, member profiles, and announcements — is provided for community purposes and may not always be current or complete.


10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GOSA Global, its officers, and volunteers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform or your inability to use it, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the platform shall not exceed the amount, if any, you paid to GOSA Global in the twelve months preceding the claim.


11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ghana. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ghana, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection laws applicable in your country of residence.
