Terms of Service

Effective Date: 2 March 2026

These Terms govern access to and use of EchoVerify, a KYC and identity verification platform operated by Echo Systems Network Ltd in Nigeria.

1. Parties and Acceptance

By creating an account, generating API keys, or using the EchoVerify portal or API, you agree to these Terms on behalf of your organization and represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

2. Services Scope

EchoVerify provides identity verification, document verification, AML/KYT-related checks, reporting tools, and wallet-funded transaction processing for approved corporate users.

3. Eligibility and Compliance

You must use the service only for lawful business purposes and comply with all applicable Nigerian laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering and consumer protection obligations where relevant to your operations.

4. Data Protection and Privacy

You are responsible for ensuring you have a valid legal basis to submit personal data for verification. Both parties shall process personal data in line with applicable Nigerian data protection requirements, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and related guidance issued by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).

5. Client Approval and Access

EchoVerify may approve, suspend, or deactivate accounts to protect platform security, prevent abuse, satisfy legal obligations, or respond to compliance concerns.

6. API Keys and Security

You must protect account credentials and API keys. You are responsible for activities performed using your credentials. Suspected compromise must be reported immediately to support@echosystems.ng.

7. Wallet Funding, Pricing, and Taxes

Verification services are wallet-funded. Charges, applicable margins, and statutory taxes (including VAT where applicable) are shown in platform records and receipts. Payments are generally non-refundable except where EchoVerify explicitly applies a reversal policy (for example, configured failed-verification reversals).

8. Acceptable Use

You must not use EchoVerify for unlawful profiling, discrimination, fraud, unauthorized surveillance, circumvention of sanctions controls, or any act prohibited by Nigerian law, including relevant provisions of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act 2015 (as amended).

9. Third-Party Dependencies

EchoVerify relies on external infrastructure and verification providers. We may update, replace, or reconfigure backend integrations without exposing provider details to your end users.

10. Availability and Service Changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features to maintain service reliability, legal compliance, or security. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

11. Intellectual Property

EchoVerify software, branding, and documentation are owned by Echo Systems Network Ltd and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You receive a limited, non-exclusive right to use the service under these Terms.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Echo Systems Network Ltd is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses, including lost profits, revenue, goodwill, or data. Total liability for direct claims is limited to fees paid for the affected service period.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Echo Systems Network Ltd against claims, fines, losses, or liabilities arising from your unlawful use of the platform, breach of these Terms, or failure to obtain required data subject consent.

14. Termination

Either party may terminate access. We may suspend or terminate immediately for legal, security, payment, or abuse reasons. Provisions that by nature survive termination will continue to apply.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Parties shall first attempt good-faith resolution, failing which disputes shall be submitted to courts of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria.
