2. How do I become a Member?

Membership is on a subscription basis. To become a member, you can visit our registration webpage at www.akadaplay/membership.com. and complete the online application form. During the registration, our system will request personal details such as your name, sex, phone number, school, school identity card, game interest, and email address which will be used to create your account and generate your user login details. For partners, there is an additional option to preregister your payment details or pre-fund an account, as a means of sponsorship.
For Students between the ages of 10 and 17 years, we would require adult consent from either your parents or guardian or via your registered school. You represent that all information provided during registration and throughout your interactions with us is true and accurate. You also agree to update your registered information, as necessary to maintain its truth and accuracy and you are responsible for all activities related to your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password.

3. Sponsorship, Promotions, Scholarships, & Grants:

Our games are crafted to help kids with their learning outcomes as prepared by the Federal Ministry of Education and this is the general outcome of playing one of our games. In addition, we have competitions for educational institutions where the best-developing kid in an academy session and his/her educational institution stand the chance of winning a grant or any promotion which we run in the session. Where such promotion or grant exists, it will be made known at the beginning of the session, along with any additional terms and conditions

Sponsorships are only available as offers to our partners, who have identified a kid within our platform and are willing to take such a kid through his academic journey by supporting him/her financially. Please see clause 5 below for more information on this. Sponsorship will need to be activated by our partners and may require our partners to pre-fund or link a credit or debit card to their account to settle financial obligations.

4. How do I become a Partner or a Participating School?

Anyone who wishes to sponsor a kid through one of our available routes can reach out to us to be registered as a partner. Our Partnership scheme allows for 3 different levels of partnership based on funds and the number of kids sponsored. All partners will have access to our comprehensive list of kids and institutions on our platform, as well as the performance of the various kids, to help with their selection of kids for sponsorship. Please visit our product section at www/Akadaplay.com/products to see more about our partnerships. On the other hand, any institution can become a participating school and can register with us for free and provide our platform to their registered students for free provided they consent to make available to us, the academy progression of all registered students during the academy session.

5. How do I redeem my Promotions, Scholarships, & Grants:

Each campaign or promotion which we offer during an academy session will specify exactly how the price, scholarship, or grant will be redeemed. You will be contacted by email when you are declared the winner of any promotion or offer. Please also consider the terms displayed along with the campaign or promotion before accepting them. In the event, that there are no terms for redeeming your prize contained in the email, please contact our customer service centre after 3 (three) working days on 07011xxxxx or email us at customerservices@akadaplay.com.

6. Associated Payment Cards:

You are not required to have an Associated Payment Card to be a member, but this would be required for partners. Partners may choose to pre-fund their wallets rather than upload an Associated Payment Card. Accounts that are pre-funded have discounts and additional benefits as contained in our product services. We work with Central Bank of Nigeria registered payment gateway companies to ensure that all cards used within our system are safe. Our system does not store the cvv of any credit/debit card, to further reduce any risk to your card.

7. Can I lose my Promotion or Sponsorship?

Our promotions are normally issued with additional terms and conditions, and it is likely that you can lose a promotion if you do not abide by its terms. The same applies to sponsorships, however, our partners are most likely to dictate the additional terms for sponsorships. Where a promotion or sponsorship is cancelled, you will be issued an email to that effect stating the reasons why the cancellation has occurred. You may be required to refund any sums or items given to you because of the cancellation.

8. Limitations:

There are instances where our games may interact with third-party software or games. We make no representations and bear no responsibility as to the appropriateness or suitability of such games. We also do not warrant or agree to be held liable where a sponsor or partner fails to redeem their obligation towards the students, as we have no control over when they fund their accounts.
