Tchad Ma Culture
Terms of use
How to consult, cite and contribute to the archive, and what the site does not allow.
Purpose
Tchad Ma Culture is a living cultural archive: people, languages, history, festivals, music, foodways, sites and provinces of Chad. It is not a travel agency or an official gazette. Visit, access and safety facts must be checked with the competent institutions.
Licences and citation
Site texts are published for cultural documentation. Documentary photographs carry the licence and author named on the Sources page; many are Creative Commons. Credit the author, the licence and Tchad Ma Culture. An empty slot is a research gap, not an invitation to invent an image.
Permitted uses
You may read the archive, share it by link, and cite it with attribution. Contributions (story, photo, audio) go through the Contribute page, with consent and a licence, then a review.
Prohibited uses
You may not present the content as your own, strip credits, use portraits of recognisable people commercially without a right to do so, pinpoint vulnerable rock-art sites, or scrape the site so as to harm it. Restricted or sacred knowledge is not to be published here.
Safeguarding and sensitive content
Restricted or sacred knowledge, personal data and accounts involving children are published only with explicit consent. We do not give precise coordinates of vulnerable rock-art sites. Anyone may request withdrawal, restricted access or an attribution update via “Write to us”. Nothing goes online without review.
Accuracy
We do not fill a page by inventing a cultural detail. A labelled gap is better than fabricated completeness. Disputed facts are flagged. The editorial policy describes sourcing and corrections.
Liability
The archive is provided for documentation, without a warranty of completeness. For a withdrawal, a correction or a rights question, use “Write to us”. The Privacy and Editorial policy pages complete these terms.
