Disclaimer of liability

In the preparation of this website, every effort has been made to offer the most current, correct, and clearly expressed information possible. Nevertheless, inadvertent errors may occur.

The information and data included on Citizenship DRC web pages has been compiled from a variety of sources. Unless expressly stated otherwise, opinions given on this website are those of the individuals making them, and not those of IDS or its funders: the Institute is not responsible for such opinions or any claims resulting from them. Further, IDS makes no warranties or representations whatsoever regarding the quality, content, completeness, or adequacy of such information and data. In any situation where printed publications differ from the text contained in this system, the printed documents take precedence.

You must not use any part of the website for any purpose which is illegal, immoral, offensive to others or in breach of others’ rights, or submit any content of that nature. This includes, but is not limited to any content or purpose which is discriminatory or harassing on the grounds of race, gender, religion, age or any other personal attribute, foul language, inciting hatred, sexually explicit, abusive, defamatory, in breach of copyright or other rights and such other activity as IDS may from time to time determine is unacceptable. IDS may remove or block access to any content or communication for any purpose. If you feel that your rights are infringed by anything on this site, please contact the IDS Communications Team (details below) giving a full description of the offending items and reasons. IDS will investigate and, if it agrees, remove or block such content.
