IF THE USER IS ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY ORGANISATION, THE USER CONFIRMS THAT HE/SHE HAS THE REQUISITE AUTHORITY, POWER AND RIGHT TO FULLY BIND THAT ORGANISATION. IF THE USER (OR, IF RELEVANT, HIS/HER ORGANISATION) DOES NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS (OR IF THE USER DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BIND HIS/HER ORGANISATION), THE USER IS NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS OR USE THE APP, AND SHOULD NOT CLICK TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND SHOULD NOT PROCEED FURTHER.</p> <h2>Purpose and Use of the App</h2> <p>The purpose of the App, which is provided by eyeWitness, is to record photos, videos and/or audio recordings (“images/recordings”) relating to international atrocity crimes, specifically war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, and torture. These images/recordings may, if submitted to eyeWitness, be used to promote accountability for these crimes, for example by raising awareness or as evidence in investigations or trials.</p> <p>IMPORTANT: The user should always be aware of the risks involved in collecting images/recordings of this type, exercise extreme caution at all times and take all available precautions, including foregoing collection or deleting the App, if necessary. THE USER SHOULD NEVER PUT HIM/HERSELF IN A SITUATION WHERE USING OR POSSESSING THE APP MAY PLACE HIM/HER OR ANYONE ELSE AT RISK OF HARM. Although, the App has features intended to help protect the user and the images/recordings collected, the App does not guarantee the safety of the user or any other individual appearing in the images/recordings. Although the App and its contents are disguised, they may be detectable if the user’s mobile device is confiscated and analysed. The user should be familiar with all security features of the App before using it.</p> <p>The user may only use the App for lawful purposes, and must not use the App to engage in or facilitate any illegal activity.</p> <p>The user must comply with all laws and regulations, including those relating to capture, use and sharing of images/recordings, applicable in the location when he/she uses the App.</p> <p>The App should not be used to collect images/recordings of ordinary crimes. Victims of or witnesses to an ordinary crime should report it to the relevant law enforcement authorities. eyeWitness retains the right to block submissions from users who use the App to capture images/recordings outside the purpose of the App.</p> <p>The user may use the App only for non-commercial purposes and only in accordance with this agreement (and in accordance with any applicable terms of any relevant third party service provider for the device to which the user downloads, or on which it accesses or uses, the App.</p> <p>The user is assumed to have obtained permission from the owner of any device that is controlled, but not owned, by the user to download the App to that device. The user accepts responsibility, in accordance with this agreement, for all access to, and use of, the App by the user on any device, whether or not it is owned by the user.</p> <p>The user acknowledges that the mobile service provider for the device to which the user downloads, or on which the user accesses or uses, the App may charge for internet access (including mobile data usage) on that device.</p> <p>eyeWitness does not guarantee the continuous, uninterrupted or error-free operability of the App.</p> <p>eyeWitness reserves the right to change the design, features and/or functionality of the App by making the updated App available for download.
