Terms of use

About these terms

These terms apply to the NGO Centre website, operated by TD & Partners. By using the site you agree to them. NGO Centre, 149 The Chase, Mt Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe. Email ngocentre@tdpartners.org. Phone +263 86 123 10471.

Free tools and information

The workspace, health check, tools, short courses and Resource Library are free to use. They are provided to help you plan and strengthen your organisation.

Templates, policy drafts and checklists are starting points. Have them reviewed by your board and, where needed, a qualified adviser before you adopt or rely on them. Law and funder requirements differ by country and funder.

Self-assessment, not a certificate

The health check, readiness checks, readiness passport and other scores are self-assessments based on your own answers. They are not an audit, an accreditation, a certificate or a prediction of funding success.

NGO Centre does not award grants and cannot promise any funding outcome.

Your content

What you enter remains yours. It is saved in your own browser, and you are responsible for keeping a backup (the workspace offers backup codes) and for what you share with others.

Do not enter personal information about the people you serve unless you need to and are allowed to. Never enter passwords.

Paid services

Expert support, live training programmes, fiscal sponsorship and shared services are provided under a separate written agreement that sets out the scope and fees before work starts.

Using the site fairly

Do not misuse the site, for example by trying to break it, overload it, or use the forms to send unwanted messages.

Limits of our responsibility

We work to keep the site accurate and available, but we cannot guarantee that it will always be available or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, NGO Centre is not responsible for losses that come from relying on the free tools or information without appropriate advice.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms. The date at the end shows when they last changed. The law that governs these terms is to be confirmed by TD before launch.
