Terms of Use

Research portal terms and public use guidance

The terms that govern use of the Kisii University Research Portal, public research records, resources, and linked research services.

Purpose of this portal

The Research Portal provides public information about Kisii University research, innovation, extension, resource mobilization, funding opportunities, partnerships, publications, services, events, resources, and institutional research support.

Accuracy of information

Kisii University makes reasonable efforts to keep portal information accurate and current. Users should verify time-sensitive notices, funding deadlines, application requirements, ethics procedures, event details, and official documents through the relevant office or linked official source.

Research resources and downloads

Policies, guidelines, forms, templates, and downloads are provided for public information and research support. Users must confirm current requirements with REIRM or the responsible unit before relying on a document for formal submissions.

External links and third-party systems

The portal may link to NACOSTI, funder portals, partner websites, repositories, journals, library systems, and other third-party services. Those services are governed by their own terms, policies, and availability.

Intellectual property

Portal content, including text, images, logos, documents, and multimedia, is owned by Kisii University or used under licence unless otherwise stated. Content may be used for personal, academic, and non-commercial reference. Redistribution or commercial use requires permission.

Acceptable use

Users must not use this portal in any way that damages, disrupts, overloads, or impairs university systems. Users must not conduct unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, automated, or systematic data collection without express university consent.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. The current version is maintained on this page. Continued use of the Research Portal after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
