The Acceptable Use Agreement serves as a fundamental legal instrument for organizations providing digital services in Nigeria. It becomes necessary when offering any form of digital platform, online service, or IT infrastructure where user behavior needs to be regulated. The document incorporates key requirements from Nigerian legislation, including the Cybercrimes Act 2015 and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019, establishing clear boundaries for service usage while protecting both provider and user interests.
