Terms of Use

Last Updated: Tue Apr 16, 2024

TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT
This Terms of Use Agreement (the “Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding agreement by and between Sameday™, a startup organized under the laws of Nigeria (“Sameday™”) and the user, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“User”), with regard to access and use of Sameday™’s website: https://sameday.guru (the “Website”) and any other media form, channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked or otherwise connected thereto. Failure to agree and adhere to all of the terms, conditions, and obligations contained herein results in the express prohibition of the User’s use of the Website, and the User is ordered to discontinue use immediately. Thereafter, the relationship between User and Sameday™ shall cease and be of no further force and effect between the parties, except that any obligation of User to pay Sameday™ for services rendered shall remain and continue to be an ongoing obligation owed by User to Sameday™.

1. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise indicated, the Website is the property of Sameday™ and all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics of any nature and regardless of format (herein, collectively or individually, the “Content”) and the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained there (the “Marks”) are owned and controlled by Sameday™ and are protected by copyright and trademark laws and any other applicable intellectual property law or regulation of Nigeria, foreign jurisdictions, and international conventions. The Content and Marks are provided “As-Is” for your information and personal use only. Except as expressly provided herein, no part of the Website and no Content may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without Sameday™’s express prior written permission. Sameday™ reserves all rights in the Website, Content, and Marks.

2. Ownership of Materials

Notwithstanding Sameday™’s ownership of Submissions, as described in Paragraph 4 (“User Feedback”), all design and original source files created on User’s behalf (“Projects”) belong to User, and User shall be the sole owner of the copyright for all Projects. In the event that any operation of law would cause Sameday™ to become the owner of a Project, in whole or in part, rather than User, Sameday™ irrevocably and perpetually assigns its entire interest in the Project to User, without limitation. User warrants that any and all materials provided to Sameday™ as examples or as material to be incorporated into a project during the design process are owned by User and do not infringe on or misappropriate any third party’s rights, including, but not limited to, all intellectual property rights and any right of publicity. Sameday™ reserves the right to share the User’s design work publicly (social media, website, etc.) unless agreed upon as stated in section 18 of this document.

3. Third-Party Fonts

In the event that any Project incorporates fonts that are not owned by Sameday™ and require a commercial license in order for User to legally reproduce, distribute, or publicly display the Project (“Third-Party Font(s)”), Sameday™ will inform User in writing that one or more Third-Party Fonts have been incorporated into the Project and that User will need to purchase one or more licenses for the Third-Party Fonts from the rights-holder(s) of said Third-Party Fonts in order to legally reproduce, distribute, or publicly display the Project. Said notice will include information sufficient for User to identify which licenses are required and who to contact in order to purchase said licenses. So long as Sameday™ has informed User of the incorporation of Third-Party Fonts as described above, User assumes all responsibility for any consequences as a result of a failure by User to purchase one or more licenses for any Third-Party Fonts incorporated into a Project.
