“OHMFLEX” TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PART 1: CORE PLATFORM TERMS
1. About these terms
1.1 Who we are. OhmFlex is operated by Escrow-Tech Nigeria Limited, a company incorporated in Nigeria under the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020 with registration number: RC 8826047, (“OhmFlex”, “we”, “us”, “our”).
1.2 What OhmFlex is. OhmFlex is a platform for electricity monitoring, optimization and flexibility.

1.7 Where these terms apply. These terms govern your use of OhmFlex if you selected Nigeria as your country when you registered. Different terms apply in other countries. Your country’s selection determines the plans available to you, the currency you are charged in, the tax applied, and which merchants and products you can see.
1.8 Language and interpretation. This Agreement is made in English. Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation”. References to a statute include that statute as amended or replaced.

(a) individual accounts: a national identity card, license, or residence permit; and
(b) corporate accounts : identification for the contact person, certificate of incorporation, letter of authorization, and where applicable a professional certificate or licence.
4.5 Further checks. We may ask for additional or updated documents at any time, including where required by law, by a payment provider, or where we have reason to doubt information you have given us.
4.6 Outcome. We may approve, reject or suspend your account. We are not obliged to give reasons for a rejection where doing so would compromise fraud prevention, but we will tell you the outcome. We do not commit to any timeframe for review and are not liable for delay.

5.2 We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication. The Platform supports two-factor authentication by email and by authenticator application.
5.3 Tell us immediately if you suspect your account has been accessed without your authority.
5.4 One person or organization may hold one account. Sharing credentials is prohibited. This does not prevent you from sharing access to a Space using the Share Access feature (clause 9 and
Schedule E), which is the only permitted way to give another person access.
5.5 We may require you to re-authenticate, reset your password, or complete additional verification where we consider it necessary to protect your account.
6. Plans, fees and billing
6.1 Plans. Access to Device features requires an active Plan. Each Plan has a price, a billing cycle, and capacity limits expressed as a maximum number of Devices and a maximum number of Hubs. The Plans available to you, and their current prices and limits, are shown in the Platform before you purchase.
6.2 Currency and tax. You will be charged in Naira. Prices are shown exclusive of value added tax, which is applied at the rate we configure for Nigeria and shown to you before you pay.
6.3 Billing cycle. You may choose a monthly or annual cycle. Your Plan renews automatically at the end of each cycle at the price then in force, unless you cancel before the renewal date.
6.4 Changing your billing cycle. You may switch between monthly and annual billing at any time. The change takes effect on your next billing date, not immediately . Until then your current cycle continues at its existing terms and price. We will show you the date the change takes effect before you confirm it.
6.5 Changing Plan. You may move to a different Plan where one is available. An upgrade takes effect immediately, with the balance of the current cycle credited pro rata, at the next billing date. A downgrade takes effect at the next billing date. If your Devices or Hubs exceed the capacity of the Plan you are moving to, you must reduce them first.
6.6 Overage: adding capacity mid-cycle. If you need more Devices or Hubs than your Plan allows, you can add capacity without changing Plan. Before you confirm, the Platform shows you the additional amount payable for the remainder of the current cycle, the number of days remaining, and the amount that will be payable at renewal. The figure shown to you at that point is the price you agree to pay. Added capacity forms part of your Plan Capacity and renews with your Plan unless you remove it.
6.7 Payment. Payment is made through our payment provider’s gateway. We do not receive or store your full card details. Your use of a payment provider is subject to that provider’s own terms.
6.8 Paying from your Wallet. Where you have a Wallet balance you may apply it to amounts due, subject to clause 10.
6.9 Failed payment. If a payment fails, we may retry it, and we will notify you. If payment remains outstanding after 24 hours, we may suspend your access to Plan features. During suspension your Devices will not be controllable through the Platform, scheduled commands will not run, and any enrolment under Schedule B will be paused. We will not delete your data or your Wallet balan ce during a suspension for non-payment.
6.10 Cancellation and refunds. You may cancel your Plan at any time with effect from the end of the current billing cycle. Fees already paid are not refundable and cancellation does not entitle you to a refund for the unexpired part of a cycle.
6.11 Changes to Plans and prices. We may change our Plans, their prices, their capacity limits and their overage rates. We will give you not less than 30 days’ notice by email and in the Platform. The change will not affect the billing cycle you have already paid for. If you do not accept the change you may cancel with effect from the date the change will take effect, and we will refund any amount you have paid for a period after that date.
6.12 Sequencing. A Plan must be purchased before any Device can be added . As Plan tier depends on how many Devices you have, to upgrade to a different plan, you must meet the number of devices required.
7. Devices, Hubs and how you use them Your use of Devices and Hubs is governed by Schedule A, which forms part of this Agreement.
8. Flexibility and Dispatch If you enroll Devices in a flexibility program, Schedule B applies.

9.1 You may organise Devices into Spaces, give a Space a name and image, and view aggregated consumption for that Space.
9.2 Share Access. You may invite another person to a Space by email, giving them a role and a period of validity. An individual account may invite only individual accounts; a corporate account may invite only users within its own organization.
9.3 Your responsibility for invited users. A person you invite can see consumption data for that Space and can operate the Devices in it. You remain responsible under this Agreement for everything done in your account, including by people you invite. You should only invite people you trust, and you should set the shortest validity period that meets your needs.
9.4 You may revoke an invitation at any time. Access ends automatically when the validity period expires.

SCHEDULE A: DEVICES AND CONNECTED SERVICES Applies from the moment you first pair a Hub or add a Device.
A.1 What we provide and what you provide
A.1.1 We provide the Platform: the software that discovers, pairs, monitors and controls your Devices, stores Telemetry, and presents it to you.
A.1.2 You provide the Devices and Hubs, mains electricity, a working internet connection, a compatible mobile device, and the premises on which the equipment is installed.
A.1.3 We do not manufacture Devices or Hubs. Devices compatible with OhmFlex are manufactured by third parties and sold either by us as a Merchant or by other Merchants on the Marketplace.
A.2 Pairing
A.2.1 To add a Hub, the Platform searches for it, you connect to the Hub’s own Wi-Fi network, and you then connect the Hub to your internet connection. Devices are added to a Hub once the Hub is connected.
A.2.2 Each Hub supports a maximum number of Devices, shown on the Platform. Your Plan separately limits the total number of Hubs and Devices on your account.
A.3 Control and scheduling
A.3.1 You can switch Devices on and off, and set schedules with a start time, an end time, and a repeat frequency of once, daily or monthly.
A.3.2 Schedules are your instructions. A schedule runs as you configure it. You are responsible for what your schedules do. Check them before you rely on them and review them if you change the appliances connected to a Device.
A.3.3 Commands depend on connectivity. If a Hub is offline, or the Device has no power, a command or scheduled action may not run, may run late, or may fail silently. Do not use scheduling where a missed or delayed action would be unsafe or costly.
A.4 Safety: please read this carefully
A.4.1 OhmFlex switches main-connected electrical equipment, sometimes when nobody is present. Used carelessly this can cause fire, injury, equipment damage, or loss.
A.4.2 You must not connect a Device to, or use OhmFlex to control:
(a) medical equipment, life-support equipment, or any equipment on which a person’s health or safety depends;
(b) fire, smoke, gas or security alarm systems;
(c) medical or pharmaceutical refrigeration, or any refrigeration on which health or safety depends;
(d) heating appliances that are unsafe if left unattended, including irons, portable heaters and cooking appliances;
(e) water pumps, sump pumps or drainage equipment where failure would cause flooding or damage;
(f) equipment whose manufacturer prohibits remote or unattended switching; or
(g) any equipment where unexpected switching on or off could cause injury or significant damage.
A.4.3 You must ensure that installation involving fixed wiring is carried out by a competent, appropriately qualified electrician, in compliance with the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency requirements and applicable Standards Organization of Nigeria standards.
A.4.4 You must not exceed a Device’s rated load and must observe the manufacturer’s instructions for the Device and for the appliance connected to it.
A.4.5 You must not use Devices in wet locations or outdoors unless the Device is rated for it.
A.4.6 Subject to clause 18.1 of the Core Platform Terms, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from a breach of this clause A.4.
A.5 Firmware and updates
A.5.1 We and our infrastructure provider may update Device and Hub firmware automatically. Updates may be necessary for security, compliance or continued operation.
A.5.2 An update may change or remove functionality. Where an update materially removes functionality, you rely on, we will notify you in advance where we reasonably can.
A.5.3 You must not prevent, delay or tamper with an update. A Device running unsupported firmware may not work with the Platform.
A.6 Telemetry, analytics and accuracy
A.6.1 The Platform shows you power, voltage, current and energy readings, consumption over time, estimated cost, amounts earned, and net cost.
A.6.2 These figures are indicative only. They are derived from Device sensors and from tariff and rate information we hold, which may be out of date.
A.6.3 They are not a meter reading. They are not calibrated or certified for billing, are not a substitute for your distribution company’s meter or bill, and must not be relied on for billing, regulatory, tax, or evidential purposes, or in any dispute with a distribution company.
A.6.4 Earnings figures shown are historic. They do not predict future earnings.
A.7 Interoperability
A.7.1 OhmFlex works with Devices running compatible firmware. The Platform is not currently integrated with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home or SmartThings. We make no commitment to add such support.
A.8 If a Device fails
A.8.1 Devices bought through the Marketplace are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty; see
Schedule C, clause C.9.
A.8.2 We are responsible for the Platform, not for the hardware. A fault in a Device is a matter for the Merchant or manufacturer.
SCHEDULE B: FLEXIBILITY AND DISPATCH Applies from the moment you enrol a Device in a flexibility programme.
B.1 What flexibility means
B.1.1 Flexibility is the ability to vary electricity consumption on request. By enrolling a Device, you permit us to issue Dispatches to it (switching, curtailing or shifting its operation) within the Comfort Window you set.
B.1.2 In return, you receive a share of the value your participation generates, credited to your Wallet.
B.2 Enrolment
B.2.1 Enrolment is optional and is per Device. You choose which Devices to enrol.
B.2.2 To enrol you must have a paid Plan and a verified account.

B.3 Comfort Windows
B.3.1 For each enrolled Device you set a Comfort Window: the limits within which a Dispatch may operate.
B.3.2 A Dispatch will not take a Device outside its Comfort Window. The Comfort Window is your principal protection, and you should set it to reflect what you need.
B.3.3 You may change a Comfort Window at any time. A change takes effect at the end of any Dispatch in progress.

C.1.3 Where Escrow-Tech or a group company itself is the Merchant, this Schedule applies to that sale in the same way, and the Merchant’s obligations are Escrow Tech’s obligations as seller.
C.2 Listings and approval
C.2.1 We review every listing before it appears on the Marketplace.
C.2.2 Our review is a screening step to detect fraud and obviously non-compliant listings. It is not an inspection of the product, an endorsement, a verification of the Merchant’s claims, or a warranty of quality, safety or fitness for purpose.
C.2.3 Product descriptions, images, specifications and prices are supplied by the Merchant. We are not responsible for their accuracy.
C.3 Where the Marketplace operates
C.3.1 You will only see listings from Merchants in your country.

C.4.3 You pay through the Platform, using a card via our payment provider or your Wallet balance.
C.4.4 The price shown at checkout includes the product price, the shipping fee and VAT, itemised separately.

C.5.2 The shipping fee is set by the Merchant and shown to you at checkout before you pay.
C.5.3 Delivery timescales are the Merchant’s and are estimates. We do not guarantee them.
C.5.4 The Platform displays the order status the Merchant reports: ordered, payment confirmed, processing, shipped, in transit, and delivered. These statuses are the Merchant’s representations, not ours.
C.5.5 If your order does not arrive, is late, or arrives damaged, this is a matter between you and the Merchant. You should raise it with the Merchant first. You can also raise a support ticket, and we will assist under clause C.10.
C.6 Risk and title
C.6.1 Risk in the product passes to you on delivery to the address you gave at checkout, or to a person at that address.
C.6.2 Title passes on delivery or on full payment, whichever is later.
C.6.3 You must give a complete and accurate delivery address. We are not responsible for a delivery to an address you entered incorrectly.
C.7 Your right to cancel and return
