Terms & Charter
The guiding code of conduct, ethics framework, and rules for ambassadors, partners, and community hubs.
1. Acceptance of Terms & Initiative Charter
By accessing or using the PBAT Smart Nation Initiative platform, services, or training resources, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service and our Initiative Charter. The PBAT Smart Nation Initiative is an independent, non-governmental advocacy and awareness organization. Our primary purpose is to advocate for grassroots digital transition, facilitate basic computer literacy workshops, and establish community coding libraries across Nigerian Local Government Areas (LGAs). All volunteers, coordinators, partners, and ambassadors agree to act strictly in accordance with this core mandate. If you do not agree to these terms, you must refrain from using our services or representing our brand.
2. Ambassador Registration & Account Security
To participate as a grassroots ambassador or coordinator, users must complete our registration process and provide accurate, current, and complete personal and location information (including State, LGA, and Ward). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify the initiative directorate of any unauthorized use of your credentials or any other breach of security. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that provide false details or violate our security guidelines.
3. Ambassador Code of Conduct
Ambassadors are expected to maintain the highest levels of civic integrity, non-partisanship in community execution, and professional ethics. When operating local training centers, managing solar kits, or hosting public broadband hotspots, all representatives agree to:
- Provide free, equal, and non-discriminatory access to all students, regardless of their background, beliefs, or affiliations.
- Protect, maintain, and secure all shared computer hardware, power accessories, router terminals, and solar arrays.
- Avoid representing the initiative for unauthorized personal, business, or political fundraising activities.
- Conduct community sensitization town halls and webinars in a respectful, professional, and educational manner.
