Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: May 25, 2026
Welcome to AfyWay. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using our website or accessing our B2B directory services.
By accessing or using afyway.com, you agree to comply with and be bound by these terms. If you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions stated on this page, you must not access or use our platform.
1. Scope of Service
AfyWay operates exclusively as a third-party B2B directory and discovery platform designed to connect global buyers with independent businesses operating in African markets.
- The Directory Service: We provide tools for business owners to set up public company profiles, list their products in a dedicated showcase, and highlight their professional service options.
- The Search Tool: We provide buyers and partners with smart filtering systems to discover companies by country, city, category, and specialized industry tags.
- Our Core Role: AfyWay is a connector. We are not a marketplace, a transaction processor, an escrow service, or a broker. We do not participate in, manage, or take commissions from any business deals that originate through our platform.
2. Account Registration and Responsibilities
To unlock specific features, such as building a public business page, you must create an account on AfyWay.
- Eligibility: By creating an account, you represent that you are a authorized representative of a business owner, and that your business is a legitimate legal entity.
- Accuracy of Information: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete details during registration and to keep your company profile updated. Providing intentionally false data or misrepresenting your business type is a direct violation of these terms.
- Account Security: You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that happen under your account. You must notify us immediately at contact@afyway.com if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.
3. User Content and Platform Guidelines
As an account owner, you are solely responsible for any content you publish on AfyWay, including company names, logos, gallery images, product catalogs, service descriptions, prices, and direct links.
Prohibited Content and Behavior
You agree that you will not upload, post, or share any material that:
- Is intentionally misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive regarding your business operations, certifications, or products.
- Infringes on the intellectual property, copyright, trademark, or proprietary rights of any third party.
- Contains hateful, abusive, offensive, defamatory, or unlawful material.
- Promotes illegal goods, restricted substances, or unauthorized services.
- Attempts to disrupt the platform through malware, automated scraping scripts, or security-circumventing tools.
We reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to review, edit, or permanently delete any content or profile that violates these guidelines or harms the integrity of the AfyWay network.
4. Independent Third Parties and External Links
Our core mission is to connect you directly with companies without platform interference, which means your relationships are independent.
No Employment or Agency Relationship
The companies listed on AfyWay are completely separate, independent businesses. They are not employees, agents, partners, joint ventures, or representatives of AfyWay. We do not supervise, manage, or direct their daily business activities, manufacturing workflows, or corporate policies.
No Endorsement or Guarantees
While we strive to maintain a high-quality B2B network, AfyWay does not verify the legal standing, financial health, quality, safety, legality, or suitability of any product, service, or company listed on the platform. Any mention of a company or product on our platform does not constitute an endorsement or a guarantee by our team.
External Links
Our platform allows business owners to input external links, such as direct URLs to purchase a product or book a service. We do not control and are not responsible for the contents, safety, or privacy practices of these external websites. You click on third-party links entirely at your own risk.
5. Absolute Disclaimer of Liability
This section defines our legal boundaries and your financial responsibilities when using our free directory.
No Mediation of Disputes
If you experience a conflict regarding an independent business transaction, such as billing issues, missed delivery timelines, poor product quality, or broken service contracts, you must direct your concerns to the relevant company. Because AfyWay only provides a search and discovery service, we do not step in, mediate, or resolve conflicts between platform users.
As-Is Platform Delivery
AfyWay is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that our platform will always be completely secure, error-free, uninterrupted, or free from service delays.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AfyWay, its team, its founders, and its partners will never be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform. This includes, without limitation, loss of business profits, damage to reputation, financial losses from bad business deals, or data loss resulting from your interactions with listed companies.
6. Indemnification
By using AfyWay, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AfyWay, its affiliates, team members, and partners from any claims, demands, liabilities, legal expenses, or damages resulting from:
- Your direct violation of any clause within these Terms and Conditions.
- The business descriptions, images, prices, or external links you publish on your public profile.
- Any actual business transactions, contracts, or disputes you engage in with other companies found through our search feature.
7. Intellectual Property
- Platform Content: The user interface, smart search design, logos, brand elements, code architecture, and educational content on afyway.com belong exclusively to AfyWay and are protected by international copyright laws.
- Your Content: You retain full ownership of the text, data, logos, and images you upload to your personal profile. By listing your business on AfyWay, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that data for the sole purpose of making your business discoverable in our public directory.
8. Platform Modification and Termination
We are constantly improving our systems to provide a better networking experience for African businesses.
- System Updates: We reserve the right to modify, pause, or update specific platform features, filters, or listings at any time without prior notice.
- Account Suspension: We reserve the right to temporarily suspend or permanently delete your account and public directory page if you breach these terms, repeatedly post misleading content, or engage in behavior that disrupts our growing business community.
- Voluntary Closure: You have full control over your presence on our platform. You can log into your business dashboard to remove your details or request a permanent account closure at any time.
9. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions and any legal disputes related to your use of the platform will be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the jurisdiction where AfyWay is officially headquartered, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal actions must be brought in the courts located within that jurisdiction.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms and Conditions occasionally as our B2B directory grows and evolves. When we make updates, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the very top of this document. We recommend checking back here periodically to stay informed about your rights and responsibilities. Your continued use of afyway.com following an update means you fully accept and agree to the revised terms.
