General
- If a single clause in this agreement is invalid, both parties will endeavour to replace the invalid clause by a valid one that reproduces as closely as possible the intended economic meaning of the invalid clause. The validity of the rest of the agreement remains unaffected. This applies in particular if the agreement is found to be incomplete.
- EkoToken.ng reserves the right to modify its General Terms and Conditions without giving any justification. In that case, EkoToken.ng will give the merchant/seller adequate notice via email. The notice will contain advice on the right and period of objection to the changes, and on the consequences of leaving unexercised the right to object.
- The changed terms and conditions are considered agreed by the merchant/seller if he does not object to them in writing within 2 weeks of receiving notice of the changes.
- Any terms and conditions of the merchant/seller are not part of this agreement unless EkoToken.ng expressly agrees to adhere to them in writing.
Terms and Termination
- This agreement is valid as soon as the merchant/seller signs the onboarding contract, or fulfils an order referred by EkoToken.ng, and remains valid indefinitely, until termination by either party.
- Termination can occur at any time, with a period of notice of one month, in writing, by email, post, or fax. The revenues generated during this notice period are still subject to the onboarding agreement. The right to immediate termination by either party for important cause remains unaffected.
- The right to immediate termination in particular covers the case where the merchant/seller repeatedly receives negative ratings and reviews on the website, and when these are not obviously unjustified. Repeatedly providing misleading information or withholding information required to present the merchant/seller’s items is also grounds for immediate termination. Typos, mistakes, and transmission errors are excluded from this, as long as they are not caused with intent or by gross negligence.
