Terms of Service

1. Welcome to Econect

Econect is owned and run by Ama Verse Limited (“Ama Verse”, “we” or “us”), a company in Kampala, Uganda. These Terms are an agreement between you and Ama Verse Limited. By creating an account or using Econect you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Econect.

Econect is in beta: a test with a limited group of people before it opens to everyone. Some things may change, move or stop working while we improve them, and you may meet mistakes. Please tell us when something goes wrong (Profile › Send feedback). Before the public launch we may need to clear what was created during the beta; if so, we’ll tell you in the app at least 14 days before, so you can keep anything you need.

2. Your account

You must be at least 13 years old to use Econect. Use your real name, keep your password to yourself, and tell us at once if you think someone else is using your account. You’re responsible for what happens on your account. One account is for one person.

3. Using Econect well

Don’t use Econect to harass, threaten or deceive anyone; to share content that is illegal, sexual involving minors, hateful or violent; to pretend to be someone else or another organisation; to send spam; or to break into, overload or disrupt the service. You can report a message, a person or a workspace from its menu, and block anyone. We may remove content or limit an account that breaks these rules.

4. Your content stays yours

What you write, share and hand in stays yours. You let us store it, show it to the people you share it with, and make copies needed to run Econect (for example, a picture made smaller for a phone). We don’t sell it and don’t use it for ads. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them to improve Econect without owing you anything.

5. Econect belongs to Ama Verse

Econect — its software and code, its design, screens and features, its words, the Ama assistant and her artwork, the Eco-Address system, and the names and logos of Econect, Ama and Ama Verse — is owned by Ama Verse Limited and protected by copyright, trademark and other laws in Uganda and other countries. Using Econect gives you a personal, non-exclusive licence to use the app as we offer it, which you can’t pass on to anyone else. It gives you no ownership of Econect.

Without our written permission you may not copy, change, sell, rent or share Econect or any part of it; take it apart, reverse-engineer it or try to reach its source code; collect its content with bots or scrapers; build a copy of it or a competing product from it; or use our names, logos or Ama in any way that suggests you are us or work with us.

Beta testers: what you see before launch is confidential. Please don’t share the test app file, or publish details or pictures of unreleased features, without our permission.

6. Workspaces

A workspace belongs to the people who run it. Its owners and admins decide who joins, set roles and room rules, and can remove people or content in their workspace. They can’t read your private chats. If you create a workspace for an organisation, you confirm you’re allowed to do so for that organisation.

7. Plans and payments

Econect is free to use, with paid plans for more. Prices are in Uganda shillings, VAT included. A plan is a 30-day pass (or a year, for workspace plans paid yearly); it never renews by itself and we remind you before it ends. During the beta you pay with MTN or Airtel mobile money through Flutterwave; we never see your PIN. A plan starts only after the payment is confirmed, and a receipt from Ama Verse arrives in your Mail. If something you paid for doesn’t work, or the beta ends before your pass does, write to us within 30 days and we’ll refund the unused part.

8. Ama, our AI assistant

Ama can summarise, suggest steps, draft and answer questions, but she can be wrong. Check what matters before you rely on it; you stay responsible for what you decide and send. Ama only drafts: nothing changes in your work until you use it. Ama has a daily allowance; when it’s used up she rests until the next day, and the rest of Econect keeps working.

9. Calls and meetings

Calls and meetings have time and size limits that depend on your plan; they’re shown in Meet › Call limits. We never record calls. Don’t record or share a call without the agreement of everyone in it.

10. Suspending or closing an account

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms, puts other people at risk or is needed to stop abuse, and we’ll say why unless the law or safety stops us. You can delete your account at any time in Profile › Account & security; it’s removed for good 14 days later.

11. Responsibility

We work hard to keep Econect running and your data safe, but during the beta we provide it as it is, without promises that it will always be available or free of mistakes. As far as the law allows, we aren’t responsible for indirect losses (such as lost profit or lost work) caused by using Econect, and our total responsibility to you is limited to what you paid us in the last 3 months. Nothing here limits rights the law gives you that can’t be limited.

12. Changes to these Terms

We’ll update these Terms as Econect grows. When a change matters, we’ll tell you in the app before it takes effect. The final Terms for the public launch will replace these.

13. Law and contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of Uganda, and the courts of Uganda decide any dispute about them. Ama Verse Limited, Kyambogo, Nakawa Division, Kampala, Uganda (P.O. Box 222438, Kampala).
