Terms

Plain words for the work.

No legal poetry. Just clarity on what we offer, what's expected, and what's protected.

1. The work shown

All photographs, essays, and content on this site are © Mershack Kabu Aklie / Cowrieking unless otherwise noted. Personal viewing is welcome. Reproduction, training of AI models on these images, or commercial use requires written permission.

2. Fine Art Store

Prints are produced to order in editions stated on each listing. Allow 4–8 weeks for production and shipping. Each piece is signed and certified.

3. Donations

Donations to Eyes of Hope Foundation are voluntary and non-refundable once processed. Tax receipts are available on request for jurisdictions where applicable.

4. Founder's Circle

Patronage tiers are charged annually as one-time payments. Benefits are honored for one year from purchase. You may not transfer your membership.

5. Booking inquiries

Submitting a booking inquiry does not constitute a contract. A signed agreement is required before any project begins. Deposit terms are stated per project.

6. Voices of Humanity

Stories you submit may be published, edited for clarity, and translated. Submitting grants us a non-exclusive right to share your story while crediting you. You may request removal anytime.

7. Acceptable use

Don't attempt to break the site, scrape it at scale, impersonate Mershack, or use the AI chatbot for unrelated purposes.

8. Limits

The site is provided "as is." We do our best to keep it secure and accurate, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service.

9. Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of Ghana. Disputes resolved in good faith first; arbitration if needed.
