TERMS & CONDITIONS
General Terms of Use
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Oosyn that govern your use of the websites, applications, and other offerings from Oosyn (collectively, the “Oosyn Platform”). When used in these Terms, “Oosyn,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the Oosyn entity set out on Schedule 1 with whom you are contracting.
The Oosyn Platform offers an online venue that enables users (“Members”) to publish, offer,search for, and book services. Members who publish and offer services are “Service providers” and Members who search for, book, or use services are “Clients.” Each Service provider Service manages, a “Profile”. You must register an account to access and use any features of the Oosyn Platform, and must keep your account information accurate.
As the provider of the Oosyn Platform, Oosyn does not own, control, offer or manage any Profiles and Services. Oosyn is not a party to the contracts concluded directly between Service providers and Clients, nor is Oosyn an agency. Oosyn is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms of Service (“Payment Terms”). To learn more about Oosyn’s role read further.
We maintain other terms and policies that supplement these Terms like our Privacy Policy, which describes our collection and use of personal data, and our Payments Terms, which govern any payment services provided to Members by the Oosyn payment entities (“paystack Payments“).
If you are a Service provider, you are responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, rules, regulations and contracts with third parties that apply to your Services.
Reviews. After each Service provider Service, Clients and Service providers will have an opportunity to review each other. Your Review must be accurate and may not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other language that violates our Content Policy or Review Policy.
Reviews are not verified by Oosyn for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading .
Content. Parts of the Oosyn Platform enable you to provide feedback, text, photos, audio, video, information and other content (“Content”). By providing Content, in whatever form and through whatever means, you grant Oosyn a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license, for the term of the protection of the rights so licensed, to access, use, store, copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish, transmit, stream, broadcast, and otherwise exploit in any manner such Content to provide and/or promote the Oosyn Platform, in any media or platform, known or unknown to date and in particular on Internet and social networks. If Content includes personal information, such content will only be used for these purposes if such use complies with applicable data protection laws in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Where Oosyn pays for the creation of Content or facilitates its creation, Oosyn may own that Content, in which case supplemental terms or disclosures will say that. You are solely responsible for all Content that you provide and warrant that you either own it or are authorized to grant Oosyn the rights described in these Terms. You are responsible and liable if any of your Content violates or infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party. Content must comply with our Content Policy and Nondiscrimination Policy, which prohibit, among other things, discriminatory, obscene, harassing, deceptive, violent and illegal content. You agree that Oosyn may make available services or automated tools to translate Content and that your content may be translated using such services or tools.
Oosyn does not guarantee the accuracy or quality of translations and Members are responsible for confirming the accuracy of such translations.
Fees. Oosyn may charge fees (and applicable Taxes) to Service providers and Clients for use of the Oosyn Platform. More information about when service fees apply and how they are calculated can be found on our Service Fees page. Except as otherwise provided on the Oosyn Platform, service fees are non-refundable. Oosyn reserves the right to change the service fees at any time, and will provide Members notice of any fee changes before they
become effective. Fee changes will not affect bookings made prior to the effective date of the fee change. If you disagree with a fee change you may terminate this agreement at any time pursuant and delete your Profile.
Modification of these Terms. Oosyn may modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Oosyn Platform and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. We will also provide you with notice of the proposed changes by email at least thirty (30) days before the date they become effective. If
you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this agreement immediately as provided in these Terms. We will inform you about your right to terminate the Agreement in the notification email. If you do not terminate your agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the Oosyn Platform will
constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.

from your payout unless we and you agree to a different method.

You acknowledge that Oosyn has the right, but does not have any obligation, to monitor the use of
the Oosyn Platform and verify information provided by our Members. For example, we may review, disable access to, remove, or edit Content to: (i) operate, secure and improve the Oosyn Platform (including for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer
support purposes); (ii) ensure Members’ compliance with these Terms; (iii) comply with applicable law or the order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; (iv) address Content that we determine is harmful or objectionable; (v) take actions set out in these Terms; and (vi) maintain and enforce any
quality or eligibility criteria, including by removing Profiles that don’t meet quality and eligibility criteria.

Members agree to cooperate with and assist Oosyn in good faith, and to provide Oosyn with
such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Oosyn with respect to any investigation undertaken by Oosyn regarding the use or abuse of the Oosyn Platform. Oosyn is not acting as an agent for any Member except for where Paystack Payments acts as a collection agent as provided in the Payments Terms.

You represent and warrant that you are not a person or entity barred from using the Oosyn Platform under the laws of the United States, your place
of residence, or any other applicable jurisdiction. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information up-to-date. It is advisable that “Members” may not register more than one account or transfer your account to someone else.

The disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If you have statutory rights or warranties we cannot disclaim, the duration of any such statutorily required rights or warranties, will be limited to the maximum extent
permitted by law.
