1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Artisia ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use the Platform.

These terms apply to all users including customers, artisans, and visitors. Artisia reserves the right to update these terms at any time; continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

2. Platform Description

Artisia is an online marketplace that connects skilled artisans and service professionals with customers across Nigeria. The Platform facilitates discovery, communication, booking, and secure payment between parties.

Artisia is a marketplace intermediary — we do not employ artisans, and we are not a party to contracts formed between customers and artisans. Artisans are independent professionals responsible for the quality of their services.

3. User Roles & Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate project descriptions when making bookings
  • Being available on the agreed date and time
  • Paying the agreed amount promptly
  • Leaving honest reviews after job completion
  • Not sharing personal contact details (phone numbers, social media) in the in-app chat to circumvent the platform

Artisans are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate information about their skills, experience, and qualifications
  • Completing booked jobs professionally and to an agreed standard
  • Arriving on time and communicating any delays promptly
  • Setting fair and transparent pricing before work commences
  • Passing and maintaining their KYC verification

4. Account Registration & KYC

All users must register with a valid email address and truthful personal information. Creating multiple accounts or impersonating another person is strictly prohibited.

Artisans are required to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification before their profile becomes visible to customers. This involves submitting a government-issued ID and a selfie. KYC verification helps ensure the safety and trust of all users on the Platform.

Artisia reserves the right to reject or revoke KYC verification at its sole discretion, and to suspend or permanently ban accounts found to have submitted fraudulent documents.

5. Bookings & Payments

Bookings are initiated by customers and confirmed by artisans. A booking is only considered active once the artisan has set a price and the customer has accepted and completed payment.

Artisans on Artisia set a fixed job price — not an hourly rate. The quoted price must be agreed before any work commences. No artisan may charge more than the agreed quoted amount without the customer's explicit consent.

All payments are processed through Paystack, a PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway. Artisia does not store card details.

6. Escrow & Fund Release

Customer payments are held in escrow by Artisia until the customer confirms the job is completed to their satisfaction. Artisans will not receive payment until the customer triggers a completion confirmation.

If the customer fails to confirm or dispute within 7 days of the artisan marking the job complete, funds will be automatically released to the artisan.

In the event of a dispute, Artisia's support team will review the case and make a final determination. Artisia's decision is final in all dispute cases.

7. Prohibited Conduct

  • Sharing personal contact information (phone numbers, WhatsApp, email) in the chat to circumvent the platform
  • Harassment, abuse, or threatening behaviour toward other users
  • Submitting fake reviews or manipulating the rating system
  • Using the Platform for any illegal activity
  • Attempting to access another user's account without authorisation
  • Posting false, misleading, or fraudulent listings

Violations will result in immediate account suspension and may be reported to relevant authorities.

8. Limitation of Liability

Artisia provides the Platform on an "as is" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Artisia shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, including but not limited to loss of profit, data, or goodwill.

Artisia is not responsible for the quality, safety, or legality of services provided by artisans. Customers engage artisans at their own risk, mitigated by our KYC verification, escrow system, and dispute resolution service.

9. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute between a customer and an artisan, either party may open a dispute from their booking dashboard. Artisia's support team will review all evidence submitted by both parties and make a fair determination within 5 business days.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

10. Termination

Artisia may suspend or terminate your account at any time without notice if you breach these Terms. You may also delete your account at any time from your profile settings. Upon termination, any pending bookings will be handled in accordance with our refund policy.
