Statutory Warning: Misuse of this nature constitutes a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, 2018, covering unauthorised system interference, identity theft, cyber-harassment, and phishing.

Payment Authenticity Protocol: FOWEK collects membership fees, bazaar bookings, and sponsorship funds exclusively through official corporate bank details and paybill numbers published on the Membership portal of this website.

This website links to external platforms, including government agencies, development partners, financial institutions, and regional bodies like COMFWB. These sites are outside our direct governance. An outbound link does not imply formal endorsement of third-party products, opinions, or data practices, and FOWEK assumes no liability for external website contents.
While we make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate, application deadlines change, fees adjust, and trade protocols evolve.
Not Professional Advice: Content published across this platform—including webinar recordings, summaries, financial guides, and market intelligence reports—is for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, tax, investment, or regulatory advisory. You must obtain independent, professional counsel tailored to your specific commercial circumstances.
Opportunities shared regarding incubation grants, B2B procurement, or overseas trade missions represent opportunities to participate. They do not constitute a guarantee of selection, grant approval, or contractual award.
We strive to maintain continuous uptime, but do not warrant that site functions will be uninterrupted, error-free, or entirely devoid of latency. We reserve the right to suspend or restrict server access for operational maintenance, updates, or events of force majeure without liability.
To the fullest extent permissible under Kenyan law, FOWEK, its trustees, officers, and secretariat employees will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or economic loss—including loss of profits, commercial revenue, anticipated savings, or business reputation—arising out of your use of or reliance upon this platform.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be disclaimed under the laws of Kenya.
These terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from them are governed exclusively by the Laws of the Republic of Kenya.
Dispute Resolution: If an issue arises, the parties will first seek an amicable solution in writing via secretariat@fowek.org. If the matter is not resolved within thirty (30) days, either party may refer the dispute to mediation in Nairobi under the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA) rules, prior to initiating court proceedings.
