5. Marketplace
The ONE EKITI Marketplace allows members to list goods and services for sale to the Ekiti community.
- Free Listings: Each verified member receives one (1) free listing. Additional listings require payment of a listing fee set by the Platform and configurable in the admin settings.
- Approval: All listings are reviewed by our moderation team before they go live. We reserve the right to reject or remove any listing that violates our guidelines.
- Accuracy: You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your listing content, pricing, and availability.
- Transactions: The Platform facilitates discovery only. All transactions between buyers and sellers are conducted independently. We are not party to, and bear no liability for, any transaction between users.
- Prohibited Items: Listings for illegal goods or services, counterfeit items, or anything that violates Nigerian law are strictly prohibited and will be removed.
6. Events
Members may post their own events on the Platform upon payment of the applicable event posting fee.
- Approval: Member-posted events are reviewed by our team before publication.
- Ticket Sales: Where ticket sales are enabled, the Platform collects payment on behalf of the event organiser via Paystack. Proceeds (less platform charges) are disbursed per agreed terms.
- Organiser Responsibility: The event organiser is solely responsible for the delivery of the event, the accuracy of event details, and compliance with all applicable local and national laws (including venue permits and crowd management regulations).
- Cancellations: Event organisers who cancel a published event must notify attendees promptly. Refund obligations are governed by our Refund Policy.
7. Voting
The Platform hosts community polls and elections. All voting activity is subject to our separate Voting Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
8. Nominations & Awards
Nominations submitted through the Platform are subject to review and approval. The Platform's decisions on nominations and award recipients are final. Submission of a nomination does not guarantee recognition.
9. Payments
All payments on the Platform are processed by Paystack, a third-party payment processor. By making a payment, you also agree to Paystack's terms of service. We do not store your card details.
All amounts are displayed and charged in Nigerian Naira (₦). Payment receipts are issued via email.
10. Intellectual Property
All Platform content (excluding user-generated content) — including the ONE EKITI name, logo, design, and original text — is our exclusive property and is protected by Nigerian intellectual property law.
By submitting content (listings, event details, nominations, photos) to the Platform, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to display and use that content on the Platform and in related promotional materials.
You retain ownership of your content and may request its removal at any time, subject to any outstanding moderation requirements.
11. Disclaimers
The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, about the reliability, accuracy, or availability of the Platform.
