Terms of Service
Effective 23 February 2026 · I Know A Guy Services Ltd
Welcome to iKAG. This platform connects individuals seeking services (Users) with skilled real-world service providers (Guys). By accessing or using the iKAG platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to them, please do not use the Platform.
1. About iKAG
iKAG is a digital marketplace that connects independent service providers (“Guys”) with customers (“Users”) for booking and delivery of services.
iKAG:
• Does not directly provide services listed on the Platform.
• Does not employ Guys.
• Acts solely as an intermediary facilitating bookings, payments, and communication.
All Guys operate as independent contractors and are solely responsible for the services they provide.
2. Eligibility
You must:
• Be at least 18 years old.
• Provide accurate and complete registration information.
• Not have been previously suspended or banned.
iKAG reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that provide false or misleading information.
3. Account Registration & Verification
3.1 General Users
Users must provide:
• Full name
• Email address
• Other required onboarding details
3.2 Guys (Service Providers)
Guys must provide:
• Legal name
• Email address
• Government-issued identification (including NIN for verification)
• Valid payout bank details
iKAG may conduct identity verification and fraud screening. Failure to complete verification may result in restricted access.
4. Service Listings
Guys are solely responsible for:
• Accuracy of listings
• Pricing
• Service quality
• Legal compliance
iKAG may remove or modify listings that are misleading, fraudulent, or violate these Terms.
5. Booking & Payment Structure
5.1 Contracting Party for Services
• The User purchases the service directly from the Guy (service provider), and not from iKAG.
• iKAG is not the seller, contractor, or direct provider of the booked service.
5.2 Upfront Payment, Collection Agent Authorization, and Debt Discharge
• All bookings must be paid upfront via the Platform.
• By creating and maintaining a Guy account, each Guy formally appoints and authorizes iKAG as the Guy's limited payment collection agent solely for services booked on the Platform.
• Payment by a User to iKAG for a valid booking is deemed payment made to the Guy for that booking, and the User's payment obligation (debt) to the Guy for that booking is legally discharged in full at the moment iKAG confirms receipt.
• After receipt of payment, and depending on job progression and dispute outcome, iKAG may either:
(a) release funds to the Guy, or
(b) refund funds to the User.
• Where a full refund is issued for a booking, no outstanding payment debt remains between the User and the Guy for that refunded booking amount.
5.3 Settlement Timing and Resolution Flow
• Payouts to the Guy are subject to a deferred settlement schedule pending completion signals, compliance checks, or dispute review.
• If a dispute is raised before a job is marked complete, the scheduled settlement to the Guy will be paused pending investigation, after which iKAG will execute the payout or issue a refund in line with Section 8.
5.4 Platform Fees
iKAG charges service fees as follows:
• For bookings below NGN 10,000:
A fixed platform fee of NGN 500.
• For bookings above NGN 10,000:
A percentage-based fee of 10% of the final agreed booking amount, subject to a maximum cap of NGN 10000.
Platform fees are deducted before payout to the Guy.
Fees may be updated with prior notice.
6. Negotiations & Final Price
• Initial listing prices may be subject to negotiation via in-app chat.
• Once both parties confirm a revised amount and payment is processed, the final agreed price becomes binding.
• Platform fees apply to the final agreed amount.
7. Strict No Circumvention Policy
Users and Guys agree:
• Not to bypass the Platform for payments.
• Not to exchange personal contact details to avoid platform fees.
• Not to process payments outside iKAG for services initiated on the Platform.
Violation may result in:
• Immediate account suspension
• Withholding of funds
• Permanent ban
8. Dispute Resolution
All communication related to bookings should occur via in-app chat.
In the event of a dispute:
• Either party must file a dispute within [Insert X] days of service completion.
• iKAG may review in-app chat, transaction data, and other submitted evidence.
• iKAG may request additional documentation.
iKAG reserves sole discretion to:
• Release funds to either party,
• Split funds between parties,
• Issue a refund to the User.
• Refund Authorization: By operating on the Platform, the Guy expressly grants iKAG the authority to negotiate, deduct, withhold, or issue full or partial refunds to the User on the Guy's behalf, based solely on iKAG’s dispute resolution determination. If a refund is issued, the Guy agrees that they forfeit any claim to that settlement amount from iKAG.
Decisions are made based on available evidence and platform policies. iKAG’s determination shall be final.
iKAG is not obligated to conduct investigations beyond reasonable commercial effort.

• iKAG integrates with Paystack for payout processing.
• iKAG is not responsible for delays caused by banking institutions or third-party payment providers.
11. Limitation of Liability
iKAG is a technology platform, not a service provider. We are not liable for:
• The quality, safety, or legality of the services provided.
• Any acts, omissions, negligence, misconduct, or default of any Guy or User.
• Injury, loss, or property damage arising out of or related to a booked service.
Maximum liability of iKAG arising out of any booking shall not exceed the total platform fees collected by iKAG for that specific disputed booking.

iKAG may suspend or terminate accounts for:
• Fraud
• Policy violations
