Terms of use

1. About us

This website is run by ShieldKid, a registered non-governmental organisation (registration number 9649800) that helps children stay safe online. You can contact us at hello@shieldkid.com.

2. Using our free resources

You are welcome to download, print, copy and share our guides, checklists, lesson plans, activity sheets and posters, for free, at home, in schools and in community settings, as long as you:

• don't sell them or use them in anything you charge for
• keep the ShieldKid name and logo on them, and leave the content unchanged
• don't present them as your own work

If you would like to adapt, translate or reproduce our materials in another way, email hello@shieldkid.com. We are often happy to help.

3. Information, not professional advice

We work hard to make our content accurate and up to date. But apps, laws and services change, and our website gives general information, not legal, medical or professional advice for your situation. Always use your own judgement, and speak to the right professional when you need to.

4. Not an emergency service

ShieldKid is not an emergency service. If a child is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. Our Get help page lists the number for your country. We typically reply to messages within 1 to 2 business days.

5. Using our forms

When you use our forms, please give accurate information and don't send anything abusive, unlawful or harmful. Never send us images or videos of a child. We may delete messages that break these terms.

6. Our content

The ShieldKid name, logo, website and resources belong to ShieldKid. Apart from the free use described above, please ask us before using them.

7. Links to other websites

We link to other organisations, such as helplines, reporting services and app help centres, because they can help. We're not responsible for their content, and their own terms and privacy policies apply.

8. Our responsibility

We provide this website and our resources free of charge and in good faith. As far as the law allows, ShieldKid is not liable for any loss arising from using the website or our resources. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have by law.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page is the one that applies.

10. The law that applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
