These Terms and Conditions govern your use of third-party services provided through or in connection with ECHOBYTE CONCEPT (“we”, “us”, or “our”), including but not limited to domain registration, web hosting, databases, and payment integrations. By using any third-party services arranged or implemented by us, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Third-Party Providers
We may engage third-party vendors to provide certain components of your solution. These vendors include domain registrars, hosting companies, cloud database providers, and payment gateway operators (e.g., Stripe, Paystack, etc.). All such services are subject to the terms and policies of the respective third-party providers.
2. Limited Role
ECHOBYTE CONCEPT acts solely as a facilitator in integrating or arranging third-party services and does not own, control, or provide warranties for their performance, reliability, uptime, or security. All interactions, transactions, or disputes regarding third-party services are between you and the provider.
3. Client Responsibility
- It is your responsibility to review and accept the third-party provider’s terms and conditions.
- You must ensure prompt payment of any applicable fees directly or via us, where applicable, to avoid service disruption.
4. No Warranty
We make no warranties or representations regarding the quality, availability, security, or suitability of third-party services. These services are offered “as is” and are subject to change, disruption, or discontinuation at the sole discretion of the third-party provider.
5. Downtime & Service Interruptions
We are not liable for downtime, data loss, or service unavailability caused by third-party platforms. This includes, but is not limited to, domain DNS propagation delays, hosting outages, payment gateway downtime, or external database service failures.
6. Termination or Suspension
Third-party providers may suspend or terminate services independently of our involvement. We are not responsible for reinstating or recovering such services, though we may assist upon request for a separate fee.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ECHOBYTE CONCEPT and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or costs arising from your use of third-party services or your violation of the provider’s terms.

Payments made for third-party services are non-refundable once processed unless otherwise stated by the third-party provider. All refund requests or disputes must be directed to the provider. We do not guarantee or manage any outcomes related to such disputes.

Depending on the service model, ownership of accounts (e.g., domain control panels, payment gateways) may reside with you or ECHOBYTE CONCEPT as agreed. Upon full payment and completion of obligations, ownership may be transferred if not previously specified.
10. Security & Compliance
While we implement best practices during integrations, ultimate responsibility for ensuring PCI-DSS, GDPR, or other compliance standards lies with the third-party provider and with you as the account holder.
11. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances shall ECHOBYTE CONCEPT be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from the use of or inability to use any third-party service. Our maximum liability is limited to any service fee paid to us (not to the third party) within the past 30 days for integration-related work only.

1. Acceptance of Terms
By commencing an internship or employment with ECHOBYTE CONCEPT, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These terms form an integral part of your engagement with us.

Interns are not considered employees unless explicitly stated otherwise in a formal employment contract.
**For Employment:** Employment is offered to qualified individuals based on company needs and successful completion of our recruitment process. All employment is "at-will" unless a specific written contract or collective bargaining agreement states otherwise. This means either you or ECHOBYTE CONCEPT may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, subject to applicable laws.
All engagements (internship or employment) are subject to verification of credentials, background checks, and adherence to company policies.
3. Code of Conduct and Company Policies
All interns and employees are required to adhere to ECHOBYTE CONCEPT's Code of Conduct, internal policies, procedures, and guidelines, as they may be updated from time to time. These policies cover, but are not limited to, workplace behavior, professionalism, attendance, use of company resources, and data security. You will be provided access to these policies and are expected to familiarize yourself with them.

**For Internships:** Internship compensation, if any, will be clearly communicated in your internship offer letter or agreement. Interns are generally not eligible for employee benefits unless expressly stated.
**For Employment:** Details regarding your salary, wages, and eligibility for employee benefits (e.g., health insurance, paid time off) will be outlined in your employment contract or offer letter, and are subject to company policies and applicable laws.
5. Confidentiality
During your internship or employment, you may have access to ECHOBYTE CONCEPT's confidential and proprietary information, including but not limited to trade secrets, client data, project details, software code, business strategies, and marketing plans. You agree to:
- Keep all such information strictly confidential.
- Not disclose, directly or indirectly, any confidential information to any third party.
- Use confidential information solely for the benefit of ECHOBYTE CONCEPT and for performing your assigned duties.
- Return all confidential information, documents, and company property upon termination of your engagement.
- This confidentiality obligation continues indefinitely even after your internship or employment ends.
6. Intellectual Property (IP) Rights
You agree that all inventions, discoveries, designs, developments, improvements, software, code, processes, and any other intellectual property (collectively, "Inventions") conceived, made, developed, or reduced to practice by you, either alone or jointly with others, during your internship or employment, and that are related to the business or anticipated business of ECHOBYTE CONCEPT, or are developed using ECHOBYTE CONCEPT's resources, time, or facilities, shall be the **sole and exclusive property of ECHOBYTE CONCEPT.**
You agree to:
- Promptly disclose all such Inventions to ECHOBYTE CONCEPT.
- Assign and hereby irrevocably assign to ECHOBYTE CONCEPT all your rights, title, and interest in and to such Inventions.

You represent and warrant that you will not incorporate any intellectual property of third parties or your own prior intellectual property into any work product for ECHOBYTE CONCEPT without prior written consent from ECHOBYTE CONCEPT and, where applicable, the third-party owner.
7. Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation (Applicable to Employees/Senior Interns, if stipulated)
Depending on your role and access to confidential information, you may be required to sign a separate Non-Compete and/or Non-Solicitation Agreement. If applicable, these agreements will specify restrictions on engaging in competitive activities or soliciting ECHOBYTE CONCEPT's clients, employees, or contractors for a defined period after your engagement ends.
8. Data Protection and Privacy
You understand that during your engagement, you will handle personal data of clients, employees, and other stakeholders. You agree to comply with ECHOBYTE CONCEPT's data protection policies and all applicable data privacy laws, including the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR). Unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or processing of personal data is strictly prohibited. Your personal data provided to us will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
9. Termination of Engagement
**For Internships:** Internships are typically for a fixed term. Either party may terminate an internship earlier with reasonable notice, as specified in the internship agreement. ECHOBYTE CONCEPT reserves the right to terminate an internship immediately for serious breaches of these Terms, company policies, or misconduct.
**For Employment:** Employment termination will be in accordance with the terms of your employment contract, ECHOBYTE CONCEPT's policies, and applicable labor laws in Nigeria. This includes provisions for notice periods, garden leave (if applicable), and final payments. ECHOBYTE CONCEPT reserves the right to terminate employment immediately for serious misconduct, gross negligence, or fundamental breach of contract.
Upon termination of any engagement, you must immediately return all company property, including but not limited to laptops, mobile phones, keys, documents, and any other items belonging to ECHOBYTE CONCEPT.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ECHOBYTE CONCEPT, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with your breach of these Terms, your misconduct, or your gross negligence during your engagement with ECHOBYTE CONCEPT.
12. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
13. Entire Agreement
These Terms and Conditions, together with any specific internship agreement, employment contract, offer letter, or other formal written company policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and ECHOBYTE CONCEPT regarding your internship or employment, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter.
