Terms of Service
Effective 1 October 2026 · Elite Workforce Impact Nigeria (E-WIN) Project
1. One account across pillars
Your Alt_Akademy (Alias Alternative Akademy) account gives access to Learn, Mentor, Research Studio, Works and Launchpad. Roles (learner, provider, mentor, instructor, client) are added in Settings; admin roles are granted by the platform.
2. Payments, escrow and fees
Payments are processed by Flutterwave. Works contracts are funded into escrow before work starts and released on client approval, after 7 days without response, or by a Trust & Safety decision. Platform fees and splits are shown before you pay or bid and are taken once at release.
3. Payouts and identity
New accounts have a 7-day payout hold. NIN or BVN verification is required above ₦200,000 in cumulative withdrawals. Velocity limits apply.
4. Academic integrity
Research Studio is a coach. You may not submit coach output as your own assessed work where your institution forbids it, and you may not use the Hub to evade plagiarism or AI-detection systems. Authorship logs may be shared with your supervisor at your request.
5. Off-platform payments
Payments arranged outside the Hub are not protected by escrow and do not count toward merit.
6. Refunds
Escrowed funds are refundable through the dispute process. Program fees are refundable within 7 days if under 20% of modules are completed. Duplicate payments are refunded automatically on verification.
7. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Disputes go first to good-faith negotiation, then arbitration in Abuja.
