V. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Intellectual property rights over content posted on these social media channels belong to the Administrator unless otherwise indicated. Any information posted may be reused and shared, with attribution.

Users may be asked to provide such details by emailing the official JAIF Management Team (JMT) email address or calling the official JMT office number as provided on the website (https://jaif.asean.org).

Consent may be obtained through the use of a consent form when taking photos at events or during planned filming or photography sessions. The form may not always be appropriate, for example when using paid actors or when it is not feasible to obtain consent from passersby. In the latter case, any objections to use of material may be emailed to admin.jmt@asean.org.

The Administrator takes every possible precaution to ensure the accuracy of the information posted. However, no responsibility is accepted for any consequences that may result from action taken by users on the basis of information posted.

The Administrator is not responsible for any damages suffered by any followers or other users or other third parties as a result of any activity or interactions on SNS.

In relation to the content of posts by other parties, while copyright remains with the user, it is deemed that the user has licensed the right to the Administrator to use the content globally.
