The mafindi Services contain Content of mafindi ("Mafindi Content"). Mafindi Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and mafindi owns and retains all rights in the mafindi Content and the mafindi Services. mafindi hereby grants you a limited, revocable, nonsublicensable license to reproduce and display the mafindi Content (excluding any software code) solely for your personal use in connection with viewing the Site and using the mafindi Services.

Mafindi performs technical functions necessary to offer the Mafindi Services, including but not limited to transcoding and/or reformatting Content to allow its use throughout the Mafindi Services.
Although the Site and other Mafindi Services are normally available, there will be occasions when the Site or other Mafindi Services will be interrupted for scheduled maintenance or upgrades, for emergency repairs, or due to failure of telecommunications links and equipment that are beyond the control of Mafindi. Also, although Mafindi will normally only delete Content that violates this Agreement, Mafindi reserves the right to delete any Content for any reason, without prior notice. Deleted content may be stored by Mafindi in order to comply with certain legal obligations and is not retrievable without a valid court order. Consequently, mafindi encourages you to maintain your own backup of your Content. In other words, mafindi is not a backup service. Mafindi will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Mafindi Services, or the loss of any Content.
