While content creators maintain ownership of the original content they create, ANCILIA retains the right to optimize such content for SEO purposes. ANCILIA may also use the content, including sharing it on various social platforms of its choosing.
3. Revenue Generation:
Any revenues generated by ANCILIA from the use or sharing of user content, outside of previously agreed terms with the advisory team, will remain the property of ANCILIA. The creator does not have any rights to such revenues.

Unless otherwise stated, ANCILIA owns the intellectual property rights in the website and material on the website. All these intellectual property rights are reserved.
15. Acceptable Use:
You must not use this website in any way that causes, or may cause, damage to the website or impairment of the availability or accessibility of the website; or in any way which is unlawful, illegal, fraudulent or harmful, or in connection with any unlawful, illegal, fraudulent or harmful purpose or activity.

Access to certain areas of this website is restricted. ANCILIA reserves the right to restrict access to areas of this website, or the entire website, at ANCILIA’s discretion.
17. User Content:
In these terms and conditions, “your user content” means material (including without limitation text, images, audio material, video material and audio-visual material) that you submit to this website, for whatever purpose. By using this website, you agree that all content you post is in compliance with all applicable laws, and does not violate the rights of any third party.
18. Limitations and Exclusions of Liability:
The information on this website is provided free-of-charge, apart from the paid member areas (for which we consider to be excluded from this clause), and you acknowledge that it would be unreasonable to hold us liable in respect of this website and the information on this website. Paid member area content will have content the user paid for but, given the nature of the forum and the possibility for other users to comment on the same threads, Ancilia has found it to be unreasonable to own liability for any misinformation potentially drawn by the users. If the user seeks advice or services where Ancilia is to be held liable for the content provided, such services would fall under the Advisory services, and would be charged as such. For further information on advisory services, please contact us on info@ancilia.org.
