Terms of Use

1. About 618 Bees

618 Bees Limited operates www.618bees.com and offers two categories of services, which are governed differently under these Terms. The first is self-help business registration and compliance filing support (including company registration and annual returns filing), which involves preparing and submitting documentation on your instructions. This category does not involve legal advice: you remain responsible for the decisions you make (such as company structure, name selection, or share allocation), and 618 Bees Limited, as a technology company, is not a law firm and is not a substitute for a lawyer. The second is professional advisory and transaction services (such as corporate advisory, governance advisory, and transaction support), which are delivered directly to you by qualified legal practitioners operating in association with Hebrew & Leo Solicitors & Legal Consultants, and not by 618 Bees Limited itself in a non-legal capacity. Where you engage 618 Bees for professional advisory or transaction services, that engagement is governed by a separate letter of engagement setting out the scope, fees, and terms specific to your matter, which shall prevail over these Terms to the extent of any conflict. Where your matter falls outside both categories, or where a conflict of interest or capacity constraint applies, you may instead be referred to an independent attorney unconnected with 618 Bees, whose services are governed solely by that attorney's own engagement terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract to use the Website or order a Service. By using the Website, you represent that you meet these requirements.

3. Account Registration

Certain features of the Website, including ordering and tracking a Service, require you to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, to keep your login credentials confidential, and to notify us promptly of any unauthorised use of your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

4. Services Offered

The Services currently offered through the Website include, without limitation:

• Business name and company registration (offered under Starter, Standard, and Premium packages, as described on the Website);
• Annual returns filing;
• Related post-incorporation, compliance, and document filing services; and
• Professional advisory and transaction services, such as corporate advisory, governance advisory, and transaction support, delivered directly by qualified legal practitioners in association with Hebrew & Leo Solicitors & Legal Consultants (see Section 1 above).

The scope, pricing, and inclusions of each Service are as described on the Website at the time of your order and may be updated by us from time to time. Where a package excludes an item (e.g. share capital above the stated threshold, or additional registrations), any such item will be quoted separately.

5. Ordering And Engagement Process

Placing an order through the Website constitutes a request for us to perform the selected Service, subject to our acceptance. You must provide accurate and complete information and documentation; delays or rejections caused by inaccurate or incomplete information are not the responsibility of 618 Bees. Where you request professional advisory or transaction services, or where your matter otherwise requires referral to an unaffiliated independent attorney, the applicable scope, fees, and terms will be confirmed separately with you in writing before that work begins.

6. Fees And Payment

All fees for self-help business registration and compliance filing services are stated in Nigerian Naira (₦) and are as displayed on the Website at the time of your order, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Fees may include third-party statutory or filing charges (e.g. CAC fees) which are subject to change by the relevant regulatory body without notice from us. Full payment is required before we commence processing your order, unless otherwise agreed. Payments are processed through our third-party payment processor(s); please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how payment data is handled. Fees for professional advisory and transaction services are not fixed-package prices displayed on the Website; they are quoted and agreed separately in the applicable letter of engagement, which governs payment terms, invoicing, and any retainer or milestone arrangements for that matter.

7. Cancellation And Refunds

This Section 7 applies to self-help business registration and compliance filing services. You may request cancellation of such an order at any time before we have commenced processing or submitted any filing on your behalf, in which case a refund will be issued less any transaction charges already incurred. Once a filing or application has been submitted to the CAC or any other regulatory body, the order can no longer be cancelled and any statutory or filing fees already paid are non-refundable, as these are payable to the relevant regulatory body. Refund requests outside these circumstances will be considered at our discretion on a case-by-case basis. Cancellation and refunds for professional advisory and transaction services are governed by the applicable letter of engagement, not by this Section.

8. Turnaround Time

Any timelines indicated on the Website or by our team are estimates only. Actual processing times depend on the relevant regulatory body (including the CAC) and factors outside our control, and are not guaranteed.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless 618 Bees, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and business partners from any loss, liability, claim, demand, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Website, breach of these Terms, or violation of any law or third-party right.
