Each time you access and/or use any Service (other than to simply read these Terms), you agree to be bound by and comply with these Terms and any Additional Terms (defined below) then posted. Therefore, do not use any Service if you do not agree.

1. Important Notices Applicable to Your Use of the Unic Investment Services:
It’s important that you read the entire Terms but here are some of the more significant notices that we want to bring to your attention at the outset:
- The federal and state securities laws applicable to private company finance are complex. In general, they are designed to protect unsophisticated people from making ill-advised investments. These Terms are designed to minimize the risk to Unic Investment if any unsophisticated/non-accredited individuals try to become investors through the Unic Investment Services, and to protect Unic Investment in the event that anyone claims he, she or it was damaged by using any Service.
- Neither the information nor any opinion expressed on or through any Service constitutes an offer by Unic Investment to buy or sell any securities or financial instruments or provide any investment advice or related services. None of the Unic Investment Services shall be construed as an offer to sell, or as a solicitation of an offer to purchase, any securities. Investments can and do lose money and you should be prepared to lose your entire investment in securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services.
- The information provided on or through the Unic Investment Services by us or our Users (defined below) about investment opportunities may not be available to or suitable for you. Not all strategies are appropriate at all times. Unic Investment is not obligated to perform, and has not performed, an analysis of investor suitability with respect to the investments in securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services.
- The opinions expressed on or through the Unic Investment Services by us or our Users do not constitute investment advice. Independent advice should be sought in all cases before investing in securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services.
- The value and income of any of the securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services by us or Users can fall as well as rise and an investor may get back less than he or she invested or nothing at all. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.
- The securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services may often have tax consequences; therefore, it is important to bear in mind that we do not provide tax advice. The levels and bases of taxation can change. Investors’ tax affairs are their own responsibility and investors should consult their own attorneys or other tax advisors in order to understand the tax consequences of any securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services.

Unic Investment Financial Services Inc., an affiliate of Unic Investment, may list a Company on the Site from time to time. Further, from time to time, Unic Investment, or an affiliate, may invest in some deals featured on or through the Unic Investment Services, in its sole discretion, but Unic Investment does not invest in all deals.
- Unic Investment does not conduct any diligence or review of the Companies or securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services before Companies are permitted to raise funds using the Unic Investment Services. Unic Investment does not provide legal advice. You are encouraged to seek legal counsel prior to investing using any Service.

2. Summary of the Unic Investment Services:
By accessing or using any Service in any manner, you become a Unic Investment user (“User”). Users who have a business or commercial-related enterprise (“Company”) that they wish to have funded may elect to create a profile for their company (“Company Profile”). Each User who creates a Company Profile becomes a founder for that Company (a “Founder”). Unic Investment is an intermediary funding platform that brings together Companies and prospective investors. Users use the Unic Investment Services to learn about, help, advise, create profiles for, browse, and/or fund Companies who have posted or advertised a Raise (defined below). Unic Investment is a platform where Users can interact, network, learn about, and connect with other Users. Unic Investment is a platform that permits Founders to offer and sell securities in their Companies directly or indirectly (the “Accredited Platform”).
3. Accredited Platform:
Users can either invest directly in a Company by purchasing securities issued by the Company (“Direct Raise”) or invest indirectly by purchasing securities issued by an investment fund (also known as a syndicate) (referred to herein as an “Investment Fund”), a separate limited liability company created for the sole purpose of investing in the Company. Investors in the Investment Fund are not the record or beneficial shareholders of the Company in which such Investment Fund invests but instead become investors in the Investment Fund. The Investment Fund is managed by an investment manager, managing member, general partner or similar managing entity in accordance with the terms of its operating documents.
In an Investment Fund, the investment manager, managing member, general partner or similar managing entity manages, controls, and conducts the affairs of the Investment Fund and exercises any management rights negotiated with the Company in which such Investment Fund invests. Investors in an Investment Fund do not have the same voting rights in Companies as investors in a Direct Raise, and may or may not have redemption or withdrawal rights pursuant to the provisions under the Investment Fund’s operating documents. Investors in an Investment Fund may be charged an administrative fee to cover the actual out-of-pocket costs of the Investment Fund; the administrative fee is disclosed to the investors at the time of the Investment Fund formation. Investors in an Investment Fund may receive distributions only when and if determined by the investment manager, managing member, general partner or similar managing entity and not necessarily upon a distribution or payment of dividends by the Company in which such Investment Fund has invested. Investors in an Investment Fund have the benefit of the managing entity’s experience in securities or related transactions. A managing entity may receive a share of any profit of the Investment Fund for providing management services (“carried interest”) and/or an “assets under management” fee, but may not receive any transaction based fees such as commissions relating to the sale of interests in such Investment Fund. Terms may vary between Investment Funds so you are strongly encouraged to read all offering materials carefully and consult with your legal, financial and investment counsel. The managing entity for offerings in Investment Funds posted on or through the Unic Investment Services may be an affiliate of Unic Investment. The foregoing description of Investment Funds is not exhaustive, is superseded in all respects by the terms of such Investment Funds’ offering materials themselves, and should not be deemed to be legal advice.
Unic Investment does not recommend or otherwise suggest that any investor make an investment in a particular Company or Investment Fund, or that any Company or Investment Fund offer securities to a particular investor. Except with respect to the Index Fund, where an affiliate of Unic Investment takes part in the negotiation or execution of transactions for the sale of securities by the Index Fund, no transactions are executed on or through the Unic Investment Services. Unic Investment, however, provides a place for Users, Founders, service providers, and others to interact and share information.
4. Non-Accredited Investors & Regulation A+:
- Non-Accredited Investors. Notwithstanding any to the contrary in these Terms, the securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services are only available to: (i) Accredited Investors or (ii) Non-Accredited Investors subject to certain limitations as set forth under Regulation A (commonly referred to as “Reg A+”) under the Securities Act (“Reg A+ Qualified Purchasers”). If you intend to invest in an offering under Reg A+, you must represent that you will meet the investment thresholds under Tier 2 of Reg A+ for Reg A+ Qualified Purchasers. Prior to investing, you may be asked to fill out a form and answer certain questions as proof of your income and/or net worth to verify that you are qualified to invest in securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services. You acknowledge and agree that all information you provide for the registration will be complete and accurate. By registering with the Unic Investment Services for purposes of subscribing for securities offered to Non-Accredited Investors in any Reg. A+ offering, you represent and warrant that your investment in any such offering shall not exceed the greater of 10% of your annual income or 10% of your net worth (excluding the value of your primary residence) at the time of such investment if you are a natural person. If you are entity, you represent and warrant that your investment in any such offering shall not exceed the greater of 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at your fiscal year end. Limits do not apply to purchases of securities that will be listed on a national securities exchange upon qualification. YOU MUST MEET ONE OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA. WE ARE ENTITLED TO AND WILL RELY UPON YOUR REPRESENTATIONS.
- Reg A+ Offerings. Federal securities law requires securities offered and sold in Nigeria to be registered with the Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), unless the offer and sale qualifies for an exemption. In certain cases, the securities made available on or through the Unic Investment Services have not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemption promulgated under Reg A+. In a Reg A+ offering, Issuers (defined below) may advertise or market their offerings via “testing the waters” communications to the general public, or pay third parties to do so, subject to certain conditions. Federal law requires that Issuers sell Reg A+ securities to Reg A+ Qualified Purchasers who represent they satisfy the investment requirements before accepting subscriptions, among other requirements. Each Issuer is solely responsible for ensuring that its securities offering, including, without limitation, the use of the Unic Investment Services to offer and sell securities, satisfies the determination of whether an investor is a Reg. A+ Qualified Purchaser and whether any investment complies with applicable state and Federal securities laws, rules and regulations. All Issuers utilizing the Unic Investment Services hereby agree that they (and not the Unic Investment Services) are responsible for determining and verifying whether a potential investor is a Reg. A+ Qualified Purchaser prior to accepting subscriptions. Users are strongly encouraged to contact each Issuer directly to discuss any questions regarding an offering or the business prospects of the Issuer.
By accessing and using the non-accredited portion of the Unic Investment Services, you agree as of any such time: (i) that you meet the requirements outlined in Section 4 above; (ii) that all information you input or agree to is accurate and complete; and (iii) to be bound by these Terms.

Unic Investment does not provide investment advice.

12. Accredited Platform Rules:
By applying for access to the Accredited Platform portion of the Unic Investment Services, you represent that you are a professional who understands risk and are willing to bear the consequences. You promise to act responsibly when using the Accredited Platform portion of the Unic Investment Services, and you promise to conduct yourself in a professional manner in all your interactions with Unic Investment and any User of the Unic Investment Services. If you are not a Founder looking for an introduction to potential Accredited Investors or you do not think that you are both an Accredited Investor and sophisticated enough to protect your own interests, then you should not access the investment portion of the Unic Investment Services as it pertains to the Accredited Platform. You are strongly advised to consult appropriate counsel before investing. You acknowledge that meeting the Accredited Investor standard does not mean that investing in a private placement securities is suitable for your individual financial position and risk profile.
By applying for access to the Accredited Platform of the Unic Investment Services as in investor, you agree: (i) that you are an Accredited Investor; (ii) that all information you input or agree to is accurate and complete; and (iii) to be bound by these Terms.
13. Accredited Investors:
- a bank, insurance company, registered investment company, business development company, or small business investment company;
- an employee benefit plan, within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, if a bank, insurance company, or registered investment adviser makes the investment decisions, or if the plan has total assets in excess of $5 million;
- a charitable organization, corporation, or partnership with assets exceeding $5 million;
- a director, executive officer, or general partner of the company selling the securities;
- a business in which all the equity owners are accredited investors;
- a natural person who has individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1 million at the time of the purchase (excluding the value of primary residence); and
- a natural person with income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year; or
- a trust, corporation or limited liability company with assets in excess of $5 million, not formed to acquire the securities offered, whose purchases a sophisticated person makes.
14. Explanation of Determination of Accredited Investor Status:
In calculating net worth, you include all of your assets (other than your primary residence) whether liquid or illiquid, such as cash, stock, securities, personal property and real estate based on the fair market value of such property MINUS all debts and liabilities (other than a mortgage or other debt secured by your primary residence unless the liability exceed the fair market value of your primary residence).
- We may require any User of Unic Investment Services who identify himself/herself/itself as an Accredited Investor to execute an Accredited Investor Questionnaire and related documents. Federal law requires that a Company issuing securities in a Direct Raise or an Investment Fund issuing securities in the Investment Fund (“Issuer”) verify User’s status as an Accredited Investor before accepting subscription. Users agree to cooperate with any requests for additional information. In these documents, an Accredited Investor warrants that it is an Accredited Investor and has the necessary knowledge and sophistication to evaluate companies, opportunities, and content. We do not verify its representations, either in a Direct Raise or an Investment Fund. The questionnaire will be maintained by us in a file that is available for inspection by the appropriate Federal agency. Accredited Investors understand, acknowledge and agree that other parties are relying on the statements made herein and that any willfully false statement is sufficient cause for removal from the Unic Investment Services, rejection of Accredited Investor status on the Accredited Platform, along with other legal causes of action. All Founders and investment managers utilizing the Unic Investment.com domain hereby agree that it is their responsibility, as the Founder of a Company or investment manager of an Investment Fund, to determine whether an Investor is an Accredited Investor in the event they decide to enter into a transaction with that investor.
- As an Accredited Investor using the Unic Investment Services, you also are agreeing to certain representations, warranties and agreements relating to the any potential interaction with an Issuer or Company on Unic Investment or the purchase of securities by you from a potential Founder, Company or Investment Fund in a transaction (“Transaction”). You agree that:
- You have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a Transaction and are consummating a Transaction with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks, and willingly assume those terms, conditions and risks. You acknowledge, understand and agree that Unic Investment is not representing or warranting any of the information made available on or through any Service. You are responsible for your own due diligence of an Issuer or Company;
- You will make any decision to consummate any Transaction or communication based on your own independent review and consultations with such investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers as it deemed necessary. You will make your own decision concerning any Transaction without reliance on any representation or warranty of, or advice from, Unic Investment;
- You agree that Unic Investment shall have no liability whatsoever to you, or your beneficiaries, due to or in connection with your use of the Unic Investment Services or any Transaction between you and an Issuer. You understand that Unic Investment does not warrant or represent any information made available on or through any Service or otherwise relating to Issuers and their offerings. You are entirely responsible for conducting your own assessment of any and all Issuers, information about whom (and their offerings) is made available on or through the Unic Investment Services. You hereby irrevocably waive any claim that you might have based on the failure of Unic Investment to discover or disclose any private or public Company information (the “Information”). You understand, based on your experience, the disadvantage to which you may be subject due to the disparity of Information between you and Unic Investment. Notwithstanding this, you deem yourself sophisticated enough to proceed; and
- Each Founder is solely responsible for the material it posts on or through the Unic Investment Services and, by posting such material, represents that: (i) it has complied in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations; and (ii) such information will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make such statements not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are made.
15. Securities Products:
The securities offered on the Accredited Platform may only be acquired by Accredited Investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risks associated with private investments. Securities sold through private placements are not publicly traded and, therefore, are illiquid unless registered with the SEC. Additionally, securities may be subject to holding period requirements. Investing in private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity concerns, and long-term commitments. Investors must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. For those reasons, these offerings may be made available only to certain institutional investors and high net worth individuals and entities. Investors are solely responsible for conducting any legal, accounting or due diligence review. Investment products are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and there is no bank guarantee. No assurance can be given that any offering currently qualifies or will continue to qualify under one or more of such exemptive provisions due to, among other things, the adequacy of disclosure and the manner of distribution, the existence of similar offerings in the past or in the future, or a change of any securities law or regulation that has retroactive effect.
Again, we strongly advise you to consult a legal, tax and financial professional before investing.
16. Quality Standards:

- Do not claim any ownership right in any material, software or other intellectual property displayed on, published by or otherwise available on or through the Unic Investment Services, other than Content, software or intellectual property that you own or otherwise have rights to without regard for its appearance on or through the Unic Investment Services.
- For all Raises, Unic Investment provides to the Founder each Accredited Investor’s information, including, but not limited to, their name, User Name, contact information (including email address), and Company related activity.
- Founders acknowledge and accept that as part of building a robust business community, Unic Investment needs to ensure that it is the most appropriate crowdfunding solution for Users. For a variety of reasons, there are certain business segments that are difficult for Unic Investment to assess, and therefore, Unic Investment will not support on the Unic Investment Services. Therefore, companies related to or offering guns, firearms, tobacco, cigarettes, pyramid marketing, gambling, contests, raffles, or any illegal activities are not be permitted on the Unic Investment Services. Unic Investment only supports for-profit companies. Unic Investment may not support Companies or Raises or businesses that are simultaneously running crowdfunding campaigns on other crowdfunding platforms.
- Founders acknowledge and agree that by submitting a Company Profile or Raise on Unic Investment, that the Founder is representing and warranting that Founder or the company for which Founder is submitting the Raise (“Raise Company”) owns or licenses the rights to produce, sell or promote the products and services in which it engages. Founder and its affiliated Raise Company agree to indemnify and hold harmless Unic Investment (including its affiliates) from any and all claims, threats, allegations, or suits related to a failure of a Raise Company to have the rights to produce, create, distribute, sell or otherwise transact in its goods and services.
- Unic Investment reserves the right to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove, or suspend a Raise at any time and for any reason. Unic Investment is not liable for any damages as a result of any of those actions. Unic Investment’s policy is not to comment on the reasons for any of those actions.
- Unic Investment is not liable for any damages or loss incurred related to Raises or any other use of any Service. Unic Investment is under no obligation to become involved in disputes between any Users, or between Users and any third party. This includes, but is not limited to, delivery of goods and services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with Raises on or through the Unic Investment Services. Unic Investment does not oversee the performance or punctuality of Raises. Unic Investment does not guarantee the completion of any Raise stated to be undertaken by any Company or warrant the outcome or success of any Raise or any Company. Unic Investment does not endorse any User Submissions or User Content or confirm Accredited Investor status.
- Unic Investment Employees and Affiliates: You understand that Unic Investment employees and affiliates may participate in the Unic Investment Services as Investors, and that Unic Investment is not responsible for any of their activities, including statements or other information in any emails or other communications such individuals make in that capacity.
- Confidentiality: By becoming a member of Unic Investment, or otherwise using any Service or viewing Content made available on or through any Service in any way, you may have an opportunity to see Private Information. “Private Information” means all information acquired by, through or in connection with your use of a Service that was provided by you or another person and which you or another person identified as “Private” in any manner reasonably designed to identify the character of such information. Investors may see that information depending on the access you grant them. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to display information you have designated as “Private” only to Investors to whom have explicitly given permission to, but make no promises to this effect. We cannot, for instance, require all Investors who see your Private Information to agree not to distribute that information. We also cannot guarantee that there will never be a software bug or a hacker attack that will allow the unauthorized viewing of material, or that Investors actually fit within any category.
- If you are a Founder, you are welcome to upload information about your business, including information you consider confidential. We offer you three (3) areas in which you can upload your Company information. The first is what all Users will see in your Company Profile. In this information, under no circumstances may you solicit investment. The second view is what Users that warrant that they are Accredited Investors view upon entering the Unic Investment Services. The third view is what Users that warrant that they are accredited view after they have requested access to information you have deemed Private.
- If you are an Accredited Investor or you are otherwise able to see any material that has been designated as confidential regardless of whether it is designated as Private, you must recognize that it is important to use discretion in how you handle that Private Information. A Founder may request that you sign a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement prior to viewing the information. You will also want to select what kinds of Founders you would like an introduction to and what kinds of business plans you would like to see. We do not promise to show you all qualifying business plans, nor can we promise that all business plans that we show you will actually satisfy your criteria.
- It is expected that you will use discretion in determining what you do with such Private Information. You agree, however, that you will not republish any Information you acquire on or through any Service via an Internet website, one of the principal purposes of which is to compete with Unic Investment.
- Moreover, if in the course of asking for information related to your status as an Accredited Investor or a Reg. A+ Qualified Purchaser, we ask you personal questions regarding your net worth and your income, we will do our best to keep any specific information you provide confidential; however, Users may still be able to infer certain facts about income and net worth from your qualification as an investor through the Unic Investment Services.
18. No Disqualifying Events:
- Each Issuer warrants and represents that none of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Issuer participating in the offering, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Issuer’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, any promoter connected with the Issuer in any capacity at the time of sale nor any compensated solicitor or any director, executive officer, other officer of the compensated solicitor participating in the Offering (each, an “Issuer Covered Person” and collectively, “Issuer Covered Persons”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor”. Each Issuer warrants and represents that it has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualifying Event. The Issuer has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations, and agrees to promptly notify Unic Investment in writing should any Disqualifying Events occur or prior Disqualifying Events come to the Issuer’s notice despite its (prior) reasonable efforts to discover. Unic Investment is not liable or responsible for making disclosures, nor for determining whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualifying Event.

- Unic Investment does not recommend any investment or endorse any Company’s fitness for investment, verify any information made available on or through any Service or in our emails, nor does Unic Investment claim any of that information is accurate.

20. Fees and Payments:
- Generally. Joining Unic Investment is free. However, we may charge fees for certain services. When you use a Service that has a fee associated with it, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. Changes to fees may be effective without notice by posting the changes on the Site. You are responsible for paying all fees and taxes associated with your use of the Unic Investment Services. To purchase any Services, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence. Prior to the purchase of any Service, you may be required to provide us or our credit card processing company with a valid credit card number and associated payment information, including all of the following: (i) your name as it appears on the card; (ii) your credit card number; (iii) the credit card type; (iv) the date of expiration; and (v) any activation numbers or codes needed to charge your card. By submitting that information to us or directly to our credit card processor, you hereby agree that you authorize us and/or our processor (as applicable) to charge your card at our convenience but within thirty (30) days of credit card authorization. For any Service that you order, you agree to pay the price applicable (including any sales taxes and surcharges) as of the time you submit the order. We will automatically bill your credit card or other form of payment submitted as part of the order process for such price. Please note that we do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering. FURTHER, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND DO NOT REIMBURSE, FEES FOR INSUFFICIENT FUNDS, ACH RETURN FEES OR ANY OTHER FEES ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT YOU MAY MAKE.
- Methods of Payment, Credit Card Terms and Taxes. All payments must be made through Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express (or other form of payment specifically accepted on the Site) and also be in a currency permitted to be used on the Site. We currently do not accept cash, personal or business checks or any other payment form for Unic Investment Services, although in the future we may change this policy. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card, and you must refer to that agreement and not these Terms to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You hereby represent and warrant that you will not use any credit card or other form of payment unless you have all necessary legal authorization to do so. YOU, AND NOT US, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY UNAUTHORIZED AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY. You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your purchases (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. For example, if you purchase with a credit card that is issued through a bank that is based outside of Nigeria, your bank or our bank may charge foreign transaction fees and other similar currency exchange fees and you agree to reimburse us for any such fees or charges, if charged to us, upon our demand. Unless you notify us of any discrepancies within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your credit card statement, you agree that they will be deemed accepted by you for all purposes. If we do not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by us or its agents. Sales taxes, or other taxes, customs, import/export charges, or similar governmental charges are not included in the price of the products. You are responsible for paying any such taxes or charges imposed on your purchases, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes. We shall automatically charge and withhold the applicable tax for orders to be delivered to addresses within and any states or localities that it deems is required in accordance with our order policy in effect at the time of purchase.
- Return Policy. All purchases of Services are subject to our return policy in effect at the time of purchase. Our current return policy does not permit any returns at this time.
- Order Acceptance Policy. Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. We further reserve the right any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. Your order will be deemed accepted by us upon our delivery of the Unic Investment Services that you have ordered. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a portion of your order or if we provide you less than the quantity you ordered, your sole and exclusive remedy is either that: (a) we will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount charged for the cancelled portion or the quantity not provided (if your credit card has already been charged for the order); or (b) we will not charge your credit card for the cancelled portion of the order or the quantity not provided. Do not assume that a cancellation or change of an order you have placed with us has been effected until you receive a confirmation from us via email or the Unic Investment Services. As stated above, you will be responsible for, and your credit card or third-party payment account may be charged for, the payment of all fees associated with orders already processed or shipped before your cancellation/change request or a request to terminate your account was received. Some Services may be purchased on an automatic re-occurring payment plan. It is your responsibility to stop the re-occuring payment before the payment is charged by us. We may elect not to refund in whole or in part any payment that has been charged if you did not cancel such payment before the charge date.
- No Responsibility to Sell Mispriced Products or Services. We do our best to describe every item, product or service offered by us as accurately as possible. However, we are human, and therefore we do not warrant that specifications or pricing of the Unic Investment Services is complete, accurate, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of any errors relating to the pricing or specifications of any item, product or service, we have the right to refuse or cancel any orders, in our sole discretion. If we charged your credit card or other account prior to cancellation, we will issue a credit to your account in the amount of the charge. Additional terms may apply.
- Modifications to Prices or Billing Terms. The purchase of Services is subject to availability. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DISPLAYED ON THE SITE MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES AND MAY BE SUBSTITUTED OR DISCONTINUED AT ANY TIME. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO CHANGE OUR PRICES AND BILLING METHODS FOR SERVICES SOLD, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING ON THE SITE OR BY E-MAIL DELIVERY TO YOU.

25. Updates to Terms:
These Terms (or if applicable Additional Terms), in the form posted at the time of your use of the applicable Services to which it applies, shall govern such use (including transactions entered during such use). AS OUR SERVICES EVOLVE, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE OFFER SUCH SERVICES MAY PROSPECTIVELY BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING SUCH SERVICES UNDER THE TERMS OR ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED. ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO OR OTHERWISE USE A SERVICE YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE SITE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR USE OF ANY SERVICE AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER TERMS FOR YOUR NEW USE AND TRANSACTIONS.

Users further understand and expressly agree that all rights under the Civil Code of Nigeria and any similar law of any state or territory of Nigeria that may be applicable with respect to the foregoing release are hereby expressly and forever waived.
28. Governing Law and Arbitration:
Certain portions of this Section 28 are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Unic Investment agree that we intend that this Section 28 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.
- First – Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to any Service, the Content, your User Submissions, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of Unic Investment’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”, which includes those actions set forth in Section 28(D), then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 28(A). For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Unic Investment and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or Unic Investment to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and Unic Investment, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.
- Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 28(A) (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND Unic Investment (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT— INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR NEGLIGENCE,—COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED FROM US OR ADVERTISING AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH ANY SERVICE. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Unic Investment and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Unic Investment Services, including the “No Class Action Matters” Section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. Unic Investment and you agree, however, that the applicable state, federal or provincial law, as contemplated in Section 28(H) below, shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and Unic Investment regarding these Terms and the Unic Investment Services, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction’s choice of law principles.
Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as modified herein, and the arbitration will be administered by the AAA. If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to set a hearing then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of Unic Investment consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in Los Angeles, Nigeria. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Unic Investment to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 28 to be enforceable, then Unic Investment will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Unic Investment Services.
- Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT A EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 28(A)) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES — OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. Commencing means, as applicable: (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in Section 28(A); (b) filing for arbitration as set forth in Section 28(B); or (c) filing an action in state or Federal court.
- Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 28 will not apply to any legal action taken by Unic Investment to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to any Service, any Content, your User Submission and/or Unic Investment’s intellectual property rights (including such Unic Investment may claim that may be in dispute), Unic Investment’s operations, and/or Unic Investment’s products or services.
- No Class Action Matters. YOU AND Unic Investment AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in Section 28(B) to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 28(F). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 28, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this “No Class Action Matters” section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.
- Jurisdictional Issues. Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted, in state or Federal court in State of Nigeria in Los Angeles County. Accordingly, you and Unic Investment consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.
- Small Claims Matters Are Not Excluded from Arbitration Requirement. Any claims for $10,000 or less may not be filed in small claims court but is subject to Section 28(B).
- Governing Law. These Terms and any Additional Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with, and any Dispute and Excluded Dispute will be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Nigeria, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
