Terms of Service
Last updated October 2026. Plain-English summary; the binding version is reviewed by Nigerian counsel.
1. Who can use NewsTrade
You must be 18 or older for any paid role. Forecast trading additionally requires KYC T2 and residence in a licensed state. One account per person.
2. Your account
Keep your sign-in codes private. You are responsible for activity on your account. We may restrict accounts that breach these terms, with notice and a right of appeal.
3. Escrow and payments
Payments are processed by Flutterwave and held with licensed partners. NewsTrade's ledger is a record of what you are owed, not a deposit account. Fees are those published on the Pricing page at the time of the transaction.
4. Work, Deals and Squads
Clients and buyers fund escrow before work or shipment. Releases follow approval or confirmation; disputes follow our published process. Squad splits bind members once signed.
5. Content
You keep ownership of what you post and grant us a licence to display, verify and, for Intel content, license it — with your share paid as published.
6. Prohibited conduct
Fraud, collusion, wash trading, fake delivery, off-platform payment solicitation, harassment, defamation and any illegal activity.
7. Liability
To the extent the law allows, our liability is limited to fees you paid us in the 12 months before a claim. This is a template; Nigerian counsel must review before launch.
