TERMS OF USE
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE NATIONAL AI REGISTRY.
By accessing, browsing or using the National AI Registry (the "Registry" or "Platform"), whether as a Visitor or a registered Provider, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Registry. If you are accessing or using the Registry on behalf of a company, organisation or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to that entity.
1. ABOUT THE REGISTRY
1.1 The National AI Registry is a curated online directory that connects citizens, developers and enterprises with verified Artificial Intelligence solutions. It is the official AI directory for Mauritius and is open to users in the Republic of Mauritius and across Africa.
1.2 The Registry is owned and operated by Mauritius Telecom Limited ("MT"), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Mauritius, with registered office at Telecom Tower, Edith Cavell Street, Port Louis, Mauritius.
1.3 The Registry enables registered AI Solution Providers ("Providers"), whether organisations or individuals, to submit AI solutions for review and, upon approval, have them listed in the directory with relevant details including industry classification, AI capabilities, deployment model, maturity level and solution type. It enables visitors and enterprises ("Visitors") to browse, search, filter and discover listed AI solutions, and to express interest by submitting a contact form so that the relevant Provider may respond directly.
1.4 The Registry is a directory and lead-generation platform only. MT does not develop, sell, licence, deploy, host, operate, endorse, recommend or guarantee any AI solution listed on the Registry. Any engagement between a Visitor and a Provider is a matter exclusively between those parties and is not the responsibility of MT.
