Terms of Use

1.1 These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between EDULEDGA INNOVATIONS LIMITED, a company incorporated in Nigeria under the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020 with registration number RC 9591803 and registered office at BDPA, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria ("EduLedga", "we", "us") and you, the individual using the EduLedga platform ("you").

1.2 You accept these Terms by ticking "I agree to the EduLedga Terms of Use" on the sign-in or sign-up screen, or by using the Platform after being shown them. Under section 93 of the Evidence Act 2011 and section 17 of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act 2015 (as amended), your electronic acceptance is a valid signature, and our electronic records of your acceptance (including date, time, version and device data) may be relied on as evidence (section 84 Evidence Act 2011).

1.3 If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. If you are under 18, you may use the Platform only with consent from your parent or guardian (see clause 3).

1.4 Under sections 114 and 128 of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 ("FCCPA"), we have written these Terms in plain language and drawn your attention, in bold, to the clauses that limit our liability or impose obligations on you (clauses 9, 13, 14 and 16).

3.1 You may use the Platform only through an account created or approved by your School, or (for proprietors and directors) by registering a School under the School SaaS Agreement.

3.2 Students under 18 may use their own account only after a parent or legal guardian has given consent (section 31 NDPA). The School collects and records that consent using the Parent/Guardian Consent Form (paper or electronic) or, where available, the in-app guardian consent screen. Students aged 18 and over accept these Terms themselves.

3.3 You must give accurate information and keep it up to date. Your Role decides what you can see and do. You must not try to obtain a Role or access you have not been given.

3.4 Account security rules are set out in our Account & Security Rules, which form part of these Terms.

4.1 Your School is the data controller of School Data and decides what is recorded about you and your children and who can see it. EduLedga processes School Data for the School under the DPA. Questions about the accuracy of School Data (for example a score, attendance mark or fee balance) should be raised with your School.

4.2 Your School may change your Role, suspend or remove your access, or end its subscription. If your School's subscription ends, your access to that School's data will end, subject to the export and deletion arrangements in the School SaaS Agreement.

5.1 You must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms. In summary, you must not: access accounts, schools or records you are not authorised to see; share or post other people's personal data or photos outside the Platform except as your School allows; upload unlawful, abusive, hateful, sexual or harmful content; bully, harass or threaten anyone; probe, overload, reverse-engineer or bypass security; scrape or use bots; or use the Platform to send spam or unauthorised marketing.

5.2 Some misuse is also a crime under Nigerian law, including unauthorised access to a computer system, identity theft and impersonation, cyberstalking and child sexual abuse material under the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act 2015 (as amended in 2024). We will report such conduct to the appropriate authorities.

6.1 Additional rules for teachers, bursars, administrators (proprietor/director, principal, headmaster, admin), parents, students and class monitors are set out in our Role-Specific User Terms, which form part of these Terms. You will be asked to accept the rules for your Role on first sign-in.

7.1 School fees are owed by parents and guardians to the School, not to EduLedga. The School sets fee amounts, discounts, deadlines and refund rules (see your School's Fee Policy). Fee payments are processed by Paystack Payments Limited under Paystack's terms. Questions about amounts, receipts or refunds should go to the School's bursar.

7.2 The EduLedga subscription (₦1,000 per student per term, VAT inclusive) is paid by the School under our Payment Terms. Parents, students and staff are not charged by EduLedga for using the Platform.

7.3 We will never ask you for your card number, PIN, OTP or bank password by email, SMS, WhatsApp or phone. If anyone does, it is a scam: report it to hello@eduledga.com.

8.1 You keep any rights you have in your User Content. You grant EduLedga a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, process, transmit and display your User Content only as needed to provide the Platform to you and your School, and as described in our Privacy Policy.

8.2 You confirm that you have the right to upload your User Content, that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights or the law. For photos or videos of students, you must follow your School's media consent records (see the Media Consent Form and Media/Content Policy).

8.3 We may remove or disable User Content that breaches these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy or the law, or on the instruction of the School.

9.1 AI Features generate drafts and advisory indicators. They can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. You must review AI-generated lesson notes before using them, and you must not treat a predictive insight as a decision. A person must make and be accountable for every decision about a student.

9.2 You must not enter pupils' personal data into AI-assisted lesson note or exam-generation prompts. Students using the AI student tutor must not type their own or anyone else's personal details into it. Our AI Usage Policy and AI & Automation Notice explain how AI Features work and the safeguards we apply.

10.1 Where your School issues certificates or results with a verification code (blockchain-ready certification), verification confirms only that the document matches what the School issued. The School remains responsible for the content of the certificate. Certificates are tamper-resistant and blockchain-ready, but are not currently recorded on any blockchain, and no personal data will ever be written to a blockchain.

11.1 Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain how we handle personal data. Your School's privacy notice explains how the School handles School Data.

12.1 The Platform, its software, design, text, graphics, logos and the "EduLedga" name belong to EduLedga or its licensors and are protected by the Copyright Act 2022, the Trade Marks Act and other laws. You receive a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Platform under these Terms for your School's purposes. School Data belongs to the School. Our Intellectual Property Policy explains how to report infringement.

12.2 School name and logo licence. Where you register or administer a School on the Platform on the School's behalf, the School grants EduLedga, by accepting these Terms at onboarding, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable licence to display the School's name and logo on EduLedga's website, customer lists, case-study listings, presentations and marketing materials, solely to identify the School as an EduLedga customer. No separate written permission is required. This licence:

(a) does not imply that the School endorses EduLedga or any EduLedga product beyond being a customer, and EduLedga will not state or suggest otherwise;

(b) does not permit EduLedga to alter the logo (other than resizing) or to use it in a way that is misleading or brings the School into disrepute;

(c) may be withdrawn at any time by the School by written notice to hello@eduledga.com, after which EduLedga will remove the School's name and logo from materials under its control within fourteen (14) days (printed materials already distributed need not be recalled); and

(d) ends automatically on termination of the School's subscription, after which EduLedga will remove the name and logo within fourteen (14) days.

12.3 Testimonials and quotes. EduLedga will not publish a testimonial, quotation, photograph or name of any individual (including a proprietor, teacher, parent or student) without that individual's specific, prior consent (and, for a child, the consent of a parent or guardian). The licence in clause 12.2 does not extend to individuals.

13.1 We aim to keep the Platform available, secure and working, and our Service Level Agreement with Schools sets out our targets. However, we do not guarantee that the Platform will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free, for example during maintenance, internet or power outages, or events outside our control. We will notify Schools of planned maintenance and of material delays as required by section 130 FCCPA.

13.2 We may change or improve features. We will not remove a core feature your School relies on during a paid term without notice to the School.

14.1 To the extent permitted by Nigerian law, EduLedga is not liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit or loss of opportunity arising from your use of the Platform, or for loss caused by: your School's decisions or the accuracy of School Data entered by the School; your failure to keep your login secure; third-party services such as Paystack, banks, mobile networks or internet providers; or events outside our reasonable control.

14.2 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the FCCPA (including section 129), the NDPA (including section 51) or any other law.

14.3 Users are generally not charged by EduLedga. Our liability to Schools is governed by the School SaaS Agreement.

15.1 We or your School may suspend or end your access in the circumstances set out in our Suspension & Termination Policy, including breach of these Terms, risk to other users or the Platform, a legal requirement, or the end of your School's subscription. Where reasonable, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond.

15.2 You may stop using the Platform at any time. School Data about you will continue to be held by your School under its retention policy. To exercise privacy rights, see our Data Subject Rights Request Procedure.

16.1 If you are a School staff member or an adult user and you deliberately or recklessly breach these Terms (for example by unlawfully disclosing student data), you agree to compensate EduLedga for reasonable losses, costs and claims that result directly from that breach. This clause does not apply to students under 18 or to any loss caused by our own breach or negligence.

17.1 We may update these Terms. Each version has a version number and effective date. For material changes we will give advance notice through the Platform or by email and ask you to accept the new version at your next sign-in. Minor changes will be shown in a notice. If you do not accept a material change, you may stop using the Platform.

18.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

18.2 Amicable resolution. If you have a complaint, please contact hello@eduledga.com and follow our Complaints Policy. The parties shall try in good faith to resolve any dispute within thirty (30) days of written notice.

18.3 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, including their existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, that is not resolved under clause 18.2 shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration and Mediation Act 2023 ("AMA"). The seat of arbitration shall be Lagos, Nigeria; the tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator agreed by the parties or, failing agreement within thirty (30) days of a request, appointed in accordance with the AMA; the arbitration shall be conducted in English under the arbitration rules scheduled to the AMA; and the award shall be final and binding. The parties may agree to attempt mediation under the AMA before or during the arbitration.

18.4 Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent interim or protective relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, or limits your right to complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission or any other regulator.

19.1 If any provision is found invalid, the rest remains in force. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours to a successor that takes over the Platform, with notice. These Terms, together with the documents referred to in them, are the whole agreement between you and us about your use of the Platform.
