Ikeja GRA, Lagos
Nigeria.

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria applicable to agreements made and wholly performed therein. Subject to Clause 14, venue is exclusively in the state or federal courts, as applicable, with jurisdiction over the Federal Republic of Nigeria, with respect to any dispute arising under these Terms unless otherwise determined by Eyowo in its sole discretion. The parties expressly agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

Please read the following paragraphs carefully because they require you to arbitrate disputes with Eyowo and limit the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms, contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to interactions between users); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms (together, “Disputes”) shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis as set forth in these Terms (this “Arbitration Agreement”). But, in the event of any actual, alleged, or threatened violation of confidentiality or violation of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights, Eyowo may immediately resort to court proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction in order to seek immediate injunctive relief. 

Any institution of any action for injunctive relief will not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of either party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you; Eyowo; Eyowo’s affiliates, sponsors enablers, supporters; Eyowo’s and its affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, owners, agents, predecessors in interest, successors in interest, and assigns; authorized and unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Platform; and any third-party beneficiaries.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with Eyowo as follows:

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: For any and all Disputes you may have against Eyowo, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us through the contact us link with the following information: (i) your name, (ii) your address, (ii) a written description of your claim, and (iv) a description of the specific relief you seek. If we do not resolve the Dispute within forty-five (45) days after receiving your notification, then you may pursue resolution of the Dispute in Arbitration. 

Arbitration proceedings will be administered in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, Cap. A18 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 (the “Arbitration and Conciliation Act”), or any statutory re-enactment or modification thereof before one arbitrator chosen by agreement of the parties. If the parties fail to reach agreement on the arbitrator within 30 days after service of the demand for arbitration, the arbitrator will be chosen by the Chairman of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators UK, Nigeria branch. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding. Any final award or judgment may be filed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties will share equally in the costs assessed for the arbitration and each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs. Any arbitration proceeding may not be consolidated or joined with any other proceeding and will not proceed as a class action. The parties understand that they would have had a right or opportunity to litigate disputes through a court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, and to participate in a class action or other proceeding involving multiple claimants, but they have instead chosen to have Disputes decided through individual arbitration. 

The place of arbitration will be Lagos, Nigeria unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties to the arbitration. Any and all actions taken under this Arbitration Agreement, including all filings, orders, judgments, and awards made in any arbitration proceeding, are confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party.

You may not assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer any right or obligation set forth herein without Eyowo’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence is void and of no effect. 

These Terms are binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns. Any provisions of these Terms that are intended to survive termination (including any provisions regarding indemnification, dispute resolution, or limitation of our liability) will continue in effect beyond any termination of these Terms or of your access to the Platform. No failure of Eyowo to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder will act as a waiver of such rights. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Eyowo. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be considered severable from the remaining provisions and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The headings in these Terms are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, all remedies provided for herein shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either party at law, in equity or otherwise. These Terms do not confer any rights, remedies, or benefits upon any person other than you, except that our affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms.
