Baddhia provides the service on an “as is” and “as available” basis and to the extent permitted by applicable law, grants no warranties of
any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise with respect to the service (including all content contained therein), including,
without limitation, any implied warranties of satisfactory quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
Baddhia does not represent or warrant that (a) the service will be uninterrupted, secure or error free, (b) any defects or errors in the
service will be corrected, or (c) that any content or information you obtain on or through the service will be accurate.
Baddhia takes no responsibility for any content that you or another member or third party posts, sends, or receives through
the service. Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the service is accessed at your own discretion and risk..
Baddhia disclaims and takes no responsibility for any conduct of you or any other member, on or off the service
The Service may contain advertisements and promotions offered by third parties and links to other web sites or resources. Baddhia is not responsible for the availability (or lack of availability) of such external websites or resources. If you choose to interact with the third parties made available through our Service, such party’s terms will govern their relationship with you. Baddhia is not responsible or liable for such third parties’ terms or actions.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Baddhia, its affiliates, employees, licensors or service providers be
liable for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, punitive, or enhanced damages, including, without limitation, loss of
profits, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from: (i) your
access to or use of or inability to access or use the service; (ii) the conduct or content of other members or third parties on, through or
following use of the service; or (iii) unauthorized access, use or alteration of your content, even if Baddhia has been advised at any time
of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Baddhia’s aggregate liability to you for any and all
claims arising out of or relating to the service, or this agreement exceed the amount paid, if any, by you to Baddhia during the twenty-four
(24) month period immediately preceding the date that you first file a lawsuit, arbitration or any other legal proceeding against Baddhia,
whether in law or in equity, in any tribunal. The damages limitation set forth in the immediately preceding sentence applies (i) regardless
of the ground upon which liability is based (whether default, contract, tort, statute, or otherwise), (ii) irrespective of the type of breach
of obligations, and (iii) with respect to all events, the service, and this agreement.
The limitation of liability provisions set forth in this section 14 shall apply even if your remedies
under this agreement fail with respect to their essential purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some or all of the exclusions and
limitations in this section may not apply to you..
Except where prohibited by applicable law:
The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), or
the Service, regardless of the date of accrual shall be BINDING ARBITRATION administered by Lagos Court of Arbitration (LCA) except as modified by
our Arbitration Procedures. The one exception to the exclusivity of arbitration is that either party has the right to bring an individual claim
against the other in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, or, if filed in arbitration, the responding party may request that the dispute
proceed in small claims court instead if the claim is within the jurisdiction of the small claims court. If the request to proceed in small claims
court is made before an arbitrator has been appointed, the arbitration shall be administratively closed. If the request to proceed in small claims
court is made after an arbitrator has been appointed, the arbitrator shall determine whether the dispute should remain in arbitration or instead be
decided in small claims court. Such arbitration shall be conducted by written submissions only, unless either you or Baddhia elect to invoke the
right to an oral hearing before the Arbitrator. But whether you choose arbitration or small claims court, you agree that you will not under any
circumstances commence, maintain, or participate in any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding against Baddhia.
By accepting this Agreement, you agree to the Arbitration Agreement in this Section 15. In doing so, BOTH YOU AND BADDHIA GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT
to assert or defend any claims between you and Baddhia (except for matters that may be properly taken to a small claims court and are within such court’s
jurisdiction). YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING.
If you assert a claim against Baddhia outside of small claims court (and Baddhia does not request that the claim, be moved to small claims court), your
rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, and the arbitrator shall determine all claims and all issues regarding the
arbitrability of the dispute. The same is true for Baddhia. Both you and Baddhia are entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator
can generally grant the relief that a court can, including the ability to hear a dispositive motion (which may include a dispositive motion based upon
the parties’ pleadings, as well as a dispositive motion based upon the parties’ pleadings along with the evidence submitted), but you should note that
arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable
in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons..
The Jurisdiction and Venue provisions in Sections 16 and 17 are incorporated and are applicable to this Arbitration Agreement.
As you decide whether to agree to this Arbitration Agreement, here are some important considerations:
Arbitration is a process of private dispute resolution that does not involve the civil courts, a civil judge, or a jury. Instead, the parties’ dispute is
decided by a private arbitrator selected by the parties under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act (Chapter 18, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004).
Arbitration does not limit or affect the legal claims you as an individual may bring against Baddhia. Agreeing to arbitration will only affect where those
claims may be brought and how they will be resolved.
Arbitration is generally considered to be a more rapid dispute resolution process than the judicial system, but that is not always the case. The Arbitrator
will typically determine whether Baddhia or you will be required to pay or split the cost of any arbitration with Baddhia, based on the circumstances presented.
You will be precluded from bringing any class or representative action against Baddhia, and you will also be precluded from participating in any
recovery resulting from any class or representative action brought against Baddhia.
Whether to agree to this arbitration agreement is an important decision. It is your decision to make, and you should take care to conduct further research and to
consult with others — including but not limited to an attorney — regarding the consequences of your decision, just as you would when making any other important
business or life decision.
Except where our arbitration agreement is prohibited by law, the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, shall apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Service, or your relationship with Baddhia. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitration Agreement in Section 15 above shall be governed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.
Except for claims that may be properly brought in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, to the Service, or to your relationship with Baddhia that for whatever reason are not submitted to arbitration will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Lagos State, Nigeria. You and Baddhia consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of courts in Lagos State and waive any claim that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum.
You agree, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Baddhia, our affiliates, and our respective officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any and all complaints, demands, claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses, including attorney’s fees, due to, arising out of, or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Service, your Content, or your breach of this Agreement.
This Agreement, which includes the Privacy Policy, Arbitration Agreement, and any terms disclosed to you if you purchase or have purchased additional features, products, or services we offer on the Service, contains the entire agreement between you and Baddhia regarding your relationship with Baddhia and the use of the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of Baddhia to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that your Baddhia account is non-transferable and all of your rights to your account and its Content terminate upon your death. No agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary or other special relationship or employment is created as a result of this Agreement, and you may not make any representations on behalf of or bind Baddhia in any manner.
