THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. WORQLE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SERVICE OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WORQLE, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE. IN NO EVENT SHALL WORQLE'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO WORQLE, IF ANY, IN THE LAST TWELVE (12) MONTHS FOR ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Worqle, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Service, including, but not limited to, Your Content, any use of the Service's content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms, or your use of any information obtained from the Service.
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, including disputes concerning the interpretation, performance, or enforceability of any provision, shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration rather than in court. By agreeing to these Terms, you and Worqle expressly waive any right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
The arbitration will be administered by the Abuja Centre for Arbitration (ACA) in accordance with its Arbitration Rules (the "ACA Rules"), as modified by this Section 12.1. If the ACA is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, the parties agree to select a replacement administrator by mutual consent; if no agreement can be reached, either party may petition the Federal High Court of Nigeria, sitting in Abuja, to appoint an alternative administrator.
All arbitration proceedings shall take place in Abuja, Nigeria, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. If in-person hearings are impracticable or if both parties consent, hearings may be conducted via secure video‐conference at locations pre-approved by the arbitrator.
On-Chain Records as Evidence. Any party to the arbitration may submit on-chain data—such as smart contract execution logs, immutable transaction records on the Polygon network, cryptographic proofs of payment, or time-stamped ledger entries—as evidence. Such records shall be presumed authentic and accurate so long as the submitting party provides valid blockchain identifiers (e.g., transaction hashes, block numbers) and any necessary decryption keys or metadata.
Chain of Custody. All parties agree that blockchain‐stored records are admissible without further foundation, provided that the party relying on those records can demonstrate an unbroken chain of custody (i.e., uninterrupted hashing from transaction origin to the public ledger). The arbitrator may request supplemental attestations, such as cryptographic signatures, to verify the integrity of off-chain data linked to on-chain records.
Smart Contract‐Enabled Enforcement. If the arbitrator issues a monetary award or specific performance order that can be enforced via smart contract (for example, releasing escrowed funds or triggering an automated royalty payment), the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to implement such enforcement on-chain. This may include, without limitation, executing a court-approved smart contract function or transferring assets to an escrow wallet under the arbitrator's instructions.
Within 30 days after a Notice of Arbitration is served, the parties shall jointly appoint a sole arbitrator who is (i) licensed to practice law in Nigeria, (ii) experienced in both technology contracts and blockchain-related disputes, and (iii) not disqualified under the ACA Rules.
If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within this 30-day window, the ACA shall appoint the arbitrator in accordance with its Rules, taking into account the required qualifications.
The arbitrator shall remain neutral and impartial, and must disclose any conflicts of interest in writing before confirming appointment.
Governing Law. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (without regard to conflict-of-law principles) and the ACA Rules, except where those rules conflict with these Terms.
Preliminary Conference. Within 14 days after appointment, the arbitrator shall convene a Preliminary Conference (in person, by phone, or by secure video-conference) to set deadlines for document exchange, fact witness disclosures, expert witness disclosures (if any), and to schedule any necessary hearing dates.
Discovery. The arbitrator has broad discretion to order reasonable document production, depositions, or site inspections, including blockchain forensic analysis, as necessary to adjudicate the dispute fairly. Requests for discovery must be relevant to the claims or defenses and proportional to the needs of the case.
Hearing and Final Award. A hearing, if requested by any party, shall occur no later than 90 days after the arbitrator's appointment. The arbitrator shall issue a written Final Award within 30 days after the close of the hearing (or, if there is no hearing, within 30 days after the final submission). The award shall include a statement of reasoning and, if applicable, specific instructions for any smart contract enforcement mechanisms.
Arbitrator's Fee. Each party shall initially bear its own administrative and arbitrator fees as determined by the ACA Rules. However, the arbitrator may reallocate such fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expert fees) in the Final Award, based on the relative merits of each party's claims.
Blockchain Arbitration Platform Fees. To the extent that on-chain dispute resolution services (e.g., smart contract escrow or an external decentralized arbitration protocol) impose additional fees, those costs shall be treated like "arbitration expenses." The arbitrator may shift payment responsibility for those costs in the Final Award.
The parties, arbitrator, and any witnesses or experts shall keep all proceedings and any Final Award confidential, except as necessary to prepare for or conduct the proceeding, to enforce a Final Award, or as otherwise required by law or by the federal securities laws of Nigeria.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose limited information to its legal or financial advisors, auditors, and insurers under similar confidentiality obligations.
Either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in Abuja, Nigeria, for injunctive relief or other provisional remedies, whether before or during the arbitration. If a court grants relief, arbitration shall proceed on all other claims. Any interim order by a court shall not be construed as a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate under this Section 12.
The Final Award shall be final and binding on both parties, and judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, including any Nigerian court or, if applicable, any foreign court under the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. If the award directs on-chain enforcement, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to implement the arbitrator's Decision promptly by executing or amending any necessary smart contract functions.
If any portion of this Dispute Resolution clause is deemed invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such portion shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. If the binding nature of arbitration is held unenforceable, the parties agree that the dispute may continue in a court of competent jurisdiction in Abuja, Nigeria, subject to any other limitations set forth herein.
This Section 12 shall survive termination of these Terms, the conclusion of any arbitration or court proceeding (unless unenforceable), and any settlement of the dispute.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Service thereafter. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.
