Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Ceylon Public Affairs Forum.
These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of our website, research publications, downloadable reports and related digital services.
By accessing our website or purchasing digital content, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.
If you do not agree with these terms, please refrain from using our paid services.
About Our Services
Ceylon Public Affairs Forum provides information, research, analysis, commentary and publications relating to public policy, economics, business, governance and other matters of public interest.
Certain articles and resources may be available free of charge, while selected reports, research papers and publications may require payment.
The availability, content and pricing of publications may change from time to time.
Purchasing Digital Reports
Customers may purchase digital reports through the payment facilities provided on our website.
Before completing a purchase, customers should review the report description, publication date, file format, price and any applicable licence conditions.
Customers are responsible for providing accurate information during checkout.
A purchase is confirmed when payment has been successfully processed and the transaction has been accepted by our system.
Pricing and Payments
Prices are displayed in the currency indicated on the relevant product page or during checkout.
Any applicable taxes or additional charges collected by us will be displayed before the customer confirms payment.
Payments are handled through an authorised third-party payment gateway.
Customers using international payment cards may incur currency conversion fees or other charges imposed by their financial institutions.
We reserve the right to correct genuine pricing errors. If such an error affects a completed order, we will contact the customer and offer an appropriate resolution, including a refund where required.
Delivery of Digital Products
All research reports sold as digital downloads are delivered electronically.
Following successful payment confirmation, customers will normally receive access to the purchased report through the website’s download facility or the delivery method specified during checkout.
No physical product will be shipped.
Customers are responsible for ensuring they have a suitable device and compatible software to open the purchased file.
If a customer experiences difficulty accessing a purchased report, they should contact us with their order details so that we can investigate and provide assistance.
Copyright and Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, the original content, research, analysis, design and other materials published by Ceylon Public Affairs Forum are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
Purchasing a report provides the customer with a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to download and use the publication for personal research, educational reference or internal professional purposes.
Purchasing a report does not transfer copyright or ownership of the publication.
Customers may not reproduce an entire report, distribute paid copies, upload reports to public websites, resell publications or otherwise commercially exploit the material without prior written permission.
Limited quotations, citations and other uses permitted under applicable copyright law are not prohibited, provided appropriate attribution is given where required.
Organisations seeking wider distribution or multi-user licensing should contact us to obtain permission.
Accuracy and Use of Research
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information presented in our reports is accurate and relevant at the time of publication.
Our publications may draw on publicly available information, official statistics, institutional reports, interviews, research findings and other sources.
However, economic conditions, regulations, policies, statistics and market developments may change after publication.
We do not guarantee that every statement, projection or interpretation will remain accurate or applicable in the future.
Reports are provided for general information, research and educational purposes. They should not be treated as personalised legal, financial, investment or other professional advice.
Readers are responsible for evaluating the information and obtaining qualified professional advice where appropriate.
Editorial Independence and Third-Party Sources
Views, interpretations and conclusions expressed in publications belong to their respective authors or contributors unless otherwise stated.
References to government institutions, regulatory authorities, research organisations or other third parties do not necessarily indicate endorsement, partnership or official approval.
External sources remain subject to their respective ownership and copyright conditions.
Refunds and Cancellations
Because our reports are supplied as digital products, refunds for completed downloads are generally not offered solely because a customer has changed their mind, subject to applicable consumer protection laws.
Refunds or other appropriate remedies may be available where a customer has been charged incorrectly, has made a duplicate payment, has received the wrong publication or cannot access a purchased report because of an unresolved technical problem.
All refund and cancellation requests are assessed according to our Refund and Cancellation Policy and applicable law.
Acceptable Website Use
Users must not interfere with website security, attempt unauthorised access to restricted content, misuse payment facilities or engage in activities that compromise website operations.
Automated extraction of protected content, unauthorised redistribution of purchased reports and attempts to bypass digital access restrictions are prohibited, except where permitted by applicable law.
We may restrict access where necessary to prevent fraud, misuse or serious violations of these terms.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Ceylon Public Affairs Forum shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses resulting from the use of website content or reliance on published analysis.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the website or freedom from every technical error.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability, statutory remedies or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Privacy
Personal information collected through the website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka, subject to any mandatory consumer protection provisions that apply.
Customers are encouraged to contact us first regarding payment disputes, download problems or concerns about purchased content.
Where a dispute cannot be resolved directly, the parties may pursue the remedies available under applicable law.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms and Conditions from time to time.
Updated terms will be published on the website with a revised date. Changes will not retrospectively remove rights that customers have already acquired under applicable law or an existing purchase.
