Last Updated: June 21, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the relationship between IRCNA (Independent Reporting and Community Networking in Armenia) ("IRCNA," "we," "our," "us") and the entities or individuals participating as listed partners on our platform ("Opportunities," "Partners," "you," "your"). By submitting your organization's information to IRCNA, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Definitions and Nature of Partnership

Opportunities: Entities (clubs, NGOs, organizations, sports teams) featured within the IRCNA "Community and Clubs" directory.

Platform: IRCNA serves solely as an independent digital gateway and directory. Inclusion does not constitute an endorsement, partnership, or affiliation of operations.

Financial Policy Addendum

1. No Financial Obligation or Sponsorship
IRCNA (Independent Reporting and Community Networking in Armenia) acts solely as an independent digital gateway and directory. IRCNA does not, will not, and shall never promise to pay, sponsor, reimburse, or provide any form of financial compensation or credit to any organization, club, partner, or entity featured on our platform. No partnership or listing on IRCNA shall be construed as a financial agreement, and IRCNA assumes no liability for any expenses incurred by Partners in connection with their inclusion on the platform.

2. Legacy Hosting Waiver
Any organization, club, or partner contacted by IRCNA and invited to join the platform prior to January 1, 2027, shall be granted a permanent waiver of all hosting and maintenance fees. Such entities shall never be required to pay a hosting fee to remain featured on the IRCNA "Community and Clubs" directory. This waiver is granted in recognition of the early-stage support of our partners and shall remain in effect for the duration of the entity's presence on the site, unless the Partner requests removal or the listing is terminated by IRCNA in accordance with our established Terms and Conditions.

2. Obligations of Partners

Accuracy and Maintenance: Partners must provide accurate, current, and complete information upon submission. Partners have an affirmative duty to notify IRCNA via email of any changes to their contact details, program status, or operational nature within 7 days of such change.

Content License: Partners grant IRCNA a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to publish, edit, and distribute provided content (text, logos, photos) on our platform.

3. Fee Structure and Billing

Initial Term: Hosting is provided free of charge for the first twelve (12) months following the date of publication.

Post-Free Period: Following the initial 12-month period, hosting is subject to a monthly service fee of 1,500 AMD, due on the 1st of each month.

Notification Protocol: IRCNA will send courtesy reminders to the Partner during the 10th, 11th, and 12th months of the free period. Partners have seven (7) days following the conclusion of the 12th month to confirm their intent to continue hosting.

Non-Automatic Billing: IRCNA will not charge Partners automatically. Continuation of service is contingent upon the Partner's explicit confirmation and payment.

4. Removal, Termination, and Appeals

Right of Removal: IRCNA reserves the right to remove any Opportunity from the site at its sole discretion at any time. In the event of removal, IRCNA will provide an email notification to the Partner explaining the cause.

Right of Appeal: Partners may appeal a removal decision by submitting a formal request via email as a reply to the removal notification.

Partner-Requested Removal: Partners retain the right to request removal from the site at any time by notifying IRCNA in writing.

Non-Refundable Policy: Due to the administrative costs associated with hosting, site maintenance, and manual implementation, all fees paid by the Partner are strictly non-refundable, regardless of whether the Partner requests removal or the service is terminated mid-month.

5. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer

The Platform and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. IRCNA shall not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of the platform, the quality of services provided by the Partner, or any interactions between users and Partners.

6. Arbitration and Governing Law

Governing Law: These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Armenia.

Arbitration Clause: Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Yerevan, Armenia, in accordance with the rules of the Arbitration and Conciliation Center at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Armenia. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, and the decision shall be final and binding upon both parties.

7. Modifications

IRCNA reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the platform following the posting of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
