Intellectual Property & Copyright Policy
NoboNG is committed to respecting intellectual property rights and protecting original works, trademarks, brands and other proprietary content. We recognise that intellectual property is an important business asset for manufacturers, retailers, marketplaces, sellers and content creators.
This policy explains how NoboNG protects its own intellectual property, respects the rights of others, manages third-party product information and responds to reports of copyright or trademark infringement.
NoboNG's Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the NoboNG name, logo, website design, software, mobile applications, graphics, user interface, written content, original product descriptions, documentation, and other materials created by NoboNG are the intellectual property of NoboNG Limited and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.
No part of the NoboNG platform may be copied, reproduced, modified, distributed or used for commercial purposes without our prior written permission.
Respect for Third-Party Intellectual Property
NoboNG respects the intellectual property rights of retailers, brands, manufacturers, marketplaces and independent sellers.
Some products available through our platform are sourced from third-party retailers or marketplaces to enable customers to purchase products that may not otherwise be readily available in Nigeria. Where applicable, product pages identify the original retail source to promote transparency throughout the purchasing process.
The appearance of a retailer's name, product, trademark or brand on NoboNG does not imply ownership by NoboNG or suggest any endorsement, sponsorship or commercial affiliation unless expressly stated.
Product Information and Content
Product titles, specifications and descriptions displayed on NoboNG are intended to help customers make informed purchasing decisions.
Where appropriate, product information may be reformatted, summarised or adapted to improve clarity, consistency and readability while preserving the essential characteristics of the product.
Product specifications, pricing, packaging and availability remain subject to change by the original retailer or manufacturer without prior notice.
Product Images
Product images are displayed to assist customers in accurately identifying products available through our purchasing service.
NoboNG is committed to working collaboratively with retailers, manufacturers and rights holders regarding the use of product-related content. Where concerns are raised regarding the use of images or other copyrighted material, we will review the matter promptly and take appropriate action where necessary.
Trademarks
All trademarks, trade names, service marks, logos and brand names appearing on products or within product listings remain the property of their respective owners.
These trademarks are referenced solely for product identification, authenticity and consumer information. Their inclusion on the NoboNG platform should not be interpreted as indicating sponsorship, endorsement or partnership unless explicitly stated.
Seller and User Content
Where sellers or users submit product listings, images, reviews or other content to NoboNG, they remain responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights, licences or permissions to publish that content.
Users must not upload content that infringes another person's copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights.
NoboNG reserves the right to remove or restrict access to any content that appears to violate this policy or applicable law.
