THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT, INFORMATION, AND MATERIALS AVAILABLE ON IT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MaxBlogNaija disclaims all warranties, whether statutory, express, or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that: (a) the Website will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error‑free; (b) the results obtained from using the Website will be accurate or reliable; (c) the quality of any products, services, or information obtained through the Website will meet your expectations; or (d) any errors will be corrected.

To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of Nigeria and other relevant jurisdictions, MAXBLOGNAIJA, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, including without limitation loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with: (i) your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Website; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Website; (iii) any content obtained from the Website; and (iv) unauthorised access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MaxBlogNaija and its affiliates, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Website, including, but not limited to, any use of the Website's content, services, or products other than as expressly authorised in these Terms, or your use of any information obtained from the Website.
9. Privacy and Data Protection
Your use of the Website is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data, including your rights under EU GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR). By using the Website, you consent to the data practices described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
10.1 Governing Law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The Nigerian courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except as provided in the informal dispute resolution clause below.
10.2 Informal Resolution. Before filing any claim, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting maxblognaija@gmail.com. We will attempt to resolve the matter within thirty (30) days. If the dispute is not resolved, either party may initiate formal proceedings.
10.3 Arbitration (Optional for International Users). For international users (outside Nigeria), at your option, disputes may be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) or the ICC International Court of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, and the seat shall be Lagos, Nigeria. This clause does not restrict your right to bring an action in your local small claims court or to file a complaint with a data protection authority (e.g., ICO, CNIL).
10.4 Class Action Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action.
11. Severability and Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
12. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by MaxBlogNaija, constitute the entire agreement between you and MaxBlogNaija regarding the use of the Website, superseding any prior agreements between you and MaxBlogNaija (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of these Terms).
