Terms of Service

Age Requirements

In compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023, Section 31 and the Child Rights Act 2003, you must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. By registering, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

Anyone may browse PriceTracker as a guest without an account. Creating an account and submitting price reports requires registration and age confirmation.

Account Responsibilities

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
• Your username will be publicly visible alongside any price reports you submit — choose it accordingly
• You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised use of your account at info@pricetracker.ng
• You may not create a new account to circumvent a suspension or ban — such accounts will be terminated without notice
• You must provide accurate information when registering — false information may result in account termination
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account

Account Termination by You

You may delete your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Upon deletion, your personal data will be removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Price reports you submitted may be anonymised and retained as part of the community database.

PriceTracker depends entirely on honest, accurate community contributions. By using the service, you agree to the following conduct standards.

Your Contributions

By submitting price reports or other content to PriceTracker, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display, and use that content for the purpose of operating and improving the service. You retain full ownership of any original content you create.

Price data submitted by you becomes part of the community database and may be visible to all users, including in anonymised form after account deletion. You confirm that any content you submit does not infringe the rights of any third party.

Our Content

The PriceTracker name, design, and software may not be copied, reproduced, modified, or distributed without our prior written permission, except as permitted by law.

Price Data Accuracy

Nigerian market prices are subject to rapid and significant fluctuation — prices can change multiple times within a single day, vary considerably between stalls in the same market, and shift sharply in response to fuel costs, exchange rates, seasonal supply, and broader economic conditions. All prices shown are submitted by community members at a specific point in time and may not reflect current market reality by the time you view them.

In compliance with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2018, we commit to the following:

• Plain language: These Terms are written in clear, understandable English as required by the FCCPA right to information
• No unfair terms: We do not include clauses that unfairly limit your statutory rights under Nigerian law
• No misleading representations: We will not make false claims about the service, its capabilities, or your rights
• Right to complain: You may submit complaints about the service directly to us or to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC)
• Free service: PriceTracker is provided free of charge with no hidden fees or subscription costs

The collection and processing of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms. The Privacy Policy is fully compliant with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and the General Application and Implementation Directive (GAID) 2025.

By agreeing to these Terms, you also acknowledge and agree to the Privacy Policy. Key points:

• We collect only data that is strictly necessary to provide the service
• We never sell your data or use it for advertising purposes
• Limited data is shared only with Mailgun (email delivery) and Smartweb (hosting) as described in our Privacy Policy — never for commercial purposes
• Your personal data including account details, price reports, shopping lists, watchlist entries, and activity points is never shared with other users or third parties beyond what is described in our Privacy Policy
• You retain full rights over your personal data including access, correction, and deletion
• We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data

Availability

We aim to keep PriceTracker available at all times but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We will provide advance notice of planned downtime where reasonably possible.

Changes to the Service

We may add, modify, or remove features from PriceTracker at any time. Where changes are material and affect your use of the service, we will notify registered users by email with a minimum of 14 days' notice before the change takes effect, where reasonably possible.

Discontinuation

As a non-commercial project, there is no guarantee of indefinite operation. If we decide to discontinue PriceTracker permanently, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice to registered users by email where reasonably possible. During this period, you may download your personal data via your account settings before closure.

Your Data & Portability

Registered users may download a copy of their personal data at any time via the account settings page. This includes your submitted price reports, shopping lists, watchlist entries, and account information. This right is provided in accordance with NDPA 2023, Section 34 (Right to Data Portability).

No Warranty on Price Data

PriceTracker is a community information platform. All price data is user-generated and unverified. We expressly disclaim any warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any price information displayed on the platform. Always confirm prices directly with the seller before making any purchasing decision.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Nigerian law, PriceTracker and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from:

• Reliance on inaccurate or outdated price data on the platform
• Temporary unavailability or technical failures of the service
• Unauthorised access to your account resulting from your own failure to safeguard your credentials — we remain responsible for security failures on our side
• Actions of other users of the platform

External Links

The PriceTracker app itself contains no links to external websites. These Terms and our Privacy Policy contain links to official Nigerian regulatory bodies (NDPC, FCCPC) solely for reference and compliance purposes. We accept no responsibility for the availability or content of those external sites.

If you believe your account was suspended in error, you may appeal by contacting us at info@pricetracker.ng. We will review all appeals fairly and respond within 30 days.

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the law, the service, or our operational practices. When we make material changes, we will:

• Notify registered users by email at least 14 days before the new Terms take effect
• Display a prominent notice within the app
• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document

Your continued use of PriceTracker after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the service and may delete your account before the effective date.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. PriceTracker is operated by Mark Peschke as a private, non-commercial individual. The following legislation applies:

• Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 & GAID 2025 — data protection obligations
• Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2018 — consumer rights and fair dealing
• Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act 2015 (as amended) — digital conduct and security
• Child Rights Act 2003 — protection of minors
• Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, Section 37 — right to privacy

Dispute Resolution

We encourage you to contact us directly at info@pricetracker.ng to resolve any dispute informally before pursuing formal action. We will respond to all complaints within 14 days.

If a dispute cannot be resolved directly, it shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You also have the right to submit complaints to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) at fccpc.gov.ng.
