Links to Other Websites

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, resources or services that are not owned or controlled by WikiCeylon. These links are provided for convenience or additional information.

We do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, privacy practices, terms or services of third-party websites. Visiting an external website is at Your own discretion and risk.

We encourage You to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party websites or services You visit.

Availability and Changes to the Website

We aim to keep WikiCeylon available and functioning, but We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. The Website or any part of it may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical issues, hosting problems or circumstances beyond Our control.

We may add, change, suspend or remove Website features or content at any time without prior notice.

Termination or Restriction of Access

We may restrict or suspend Your access to all or part of the Website where We reasonably believe that You have violated these Terms, misused the Website or created a risk to its security, operation or other users.

Any restriction or suspension does not affect provisions of these Terms that by their nature should continue to apply, including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, WikiCeylon and the people responsible for operating the Website will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss or damage arising from or related to Your access to, use of or inability to use the Website.

This includes, to the extent permitted by law, loss of data, loss of profits, business interruption, reliance on Website content, problems with third-party websites or services, and damage caused by harmful software or events outside Our reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted under applicable law. Your statutory rights, where applicable, remain unaffected.

“AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” Disclaimer

The Website and its content are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We make no guarantee that the Website will always be available, secure, accurate, complete, up to date or free from errors or harmful components.

We make reasonable efforts to maintain the Website and review its content, but we do not warrant that information published on the Website will meet Your particular requirements or produce a particular result. You use the Website and rely on its content at Your own discretion.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions or limitations. In those cases, the exclusions and limitations in this section apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These Terms and Your use of the Website are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka, without regard to conflict of law principles, subject to any mandatory legal protections that apply to You.

Disputes Resolution

If You have a concern or dispute relating to the Website or these Terms, please contact Us first so We can try to resolve the matter informally. This does not prevent You from exercising any rights or remedies available under applicable law.

Severability and Waiver

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or interpreted to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions continue in effect.

Waiver

If We do not enforce a provision of these Terms on one occasion, this does not mean that We waive Our right to enforce that provision or any other provision later.

Translation and Interpretation

If these Terms are made available in another language, the English version will be used as the reference version to the extent permitted by applicable law. If You are unsure about any part of these Terms, please contact Us for clarification.

We may update or revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, its features, our practices or applicable legal requirements.

When We make changes, We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. The revised Terms will take effect when they are published on the Website, unless a different effective date is stated.

You are encouraged to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the Website after revised Terms are published means that You accept the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If You do not agree with the revised Terms, please stop using the Website.
