Section 01
Acceptance of Terms
By creating a Fasvia account — whether as a student, lecturer, or administrator — you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not create an account or use Fasvia.
These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Nelbion Group, a technology venture based in Nigeria currently in the process of formal registration and the developer and operator of Fasvia. By accessing or using the Fasvia platform, you confirm that you are authorised to act on behalf of your institution (where applicable) and that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms in full.
Where Fasvia is provided to an educational institution under a licensing agreement, both the institution and its individual users (students, lecturers, administrators) are bound by these Terms.
Section 02
Description of Service
Fasvia is a GPS-verified attendance management platform built specifically for educational institutions in Africa. It replaces manual, paper-based, and spreadsheet-based attendance with a tamper-proof, data-driven system.
Fasvia provides three interfaces:
- Student Progressive Web App (PWA): Allows students to securely mark their own attendance from their registered device, verified by GPS geofencing and optional facial verification.
- Lecturer Dashboard: Enables lecturers to start sessions, monitor real-time attendance, manage student disputes, and export signed attendance reports.
- Department Admin Dashboard: Provides department administrators with course management, lecturer onboarding, system analytics, and bulk attendance reporting.
Fasvia is provided as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. Nelbion Group reserves the right to update, modify, or discontinue features of the service at any time, with reasonable notice provided where practical.
Section 03
User Accounts and Eligibility
To use Fasvia, you must meet the following eligibility requirements and accept the following account obligations:
- You must be a currently enrolled student, an active lecturer, or an authorised administrator at a registered educational institution that has a valid Fasvia institutional licence
- You must provide accurate, truthful, and complete information when creating your account — including your real full name and a valid matric number or staff identification number
- You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials — do not share your password or access link with any other person
- One account per person — creating multiple accounts is strictly prohibited and will result in the suspension of all associated accounts
- One device per student account — each student account is bound to a single registered device. Attempting to use Fasvia from multiple devices without re-registering will trigger a fraud alert
You must notify Fasvia immediately at fasvia.nelbion@gmail.com if you believe your account has been accessed without authorisation.
Section 04
Student Obligations
As a student user of Fasvia, you agree to the following obligations. Violations of these obligations may result in account suspension and will be reported to your institution.
- You must mark your own attendance only — marking attendance on behalf of another student (proxy marking) is strictly prohibited and constitutes academic fraud
- Attempting to spoof or falsify your GPS location using mock location applications or VPNs is prohibited
- Attempting to use another student's login credentials, biometric data, or device to mark attendance is prohibited
- Attempting to bypass, circumvent, or defeat the facial verification system is prohibited
- Using an emulator, virtual machine, or rooted/jailbroken device to access Fasvia is prohibited
You acknowledge that Fasvia's fraud detection systems operate continuously and that suspicious activity — including GPS anomalies and device fingerprint mismatches — is logged and may be reported to your institution without prior notice to you.
Section 05
Lecturer Obligations
As a lecturer user of Fasvia, you have elevated access to student attendance data. You agree to the following obligations:
- You must start attendance sessions only for courses that have been officially assigned to you by your department administrator
- Manual attendance approvals and adjustments must only be granted to students who were physically present in your classroom at the time of the session
- You must respond to student attendance disputes within 7 days of the dispute being raised. Failure to respond within this period may result in automatic escalation to your department administrator
- You must not share your account credentials, session links, or any access tokens with any other person, including other lecturers or staff
- You must not use the attendance data, reports, or analytics provided by Fasvia for any purpose other than legitimate academic administration
Section 06
Administrator Obligations
As a department or institution administrator on Fasvia, you are responsible for your institution's use of the platform. You agree to the following:
- You must only approve and onboard lecturers who are genuine, currently active staff members of your department or institution — onboarding fictitious or unauthorised accounts is prohibited
- All course information entered into the Fasvia system must be accurate and reflect the current academic session's official course listings
- You must not use attendance analytics, reports, or student data for any purpose outside of legitimate academic administration within your institution
- You are responsible for ensuring that students and lecturers at your institution are aware of and comply with these Terms and the Fasvia Privacy Policy
- You must notify Nelbion Group promptly if you become aware of any misuse of the platform by users at your institution
Section 07
Prohibited Activities
The following activities are strictly prohibited on the Fasvia platform and may result in immediate account termination, reporting to your institution, and where applicable, referral to law enforcement:
- Impersonation of any student, lecturer, or administrator
- GPS spoofing or use of mock location applications to falsify attendance location
- Accessing the platform using emulators, virtual machines, or rooted/jailbroken devices
- Attempting to reverse engineer, decompile, tamper with, or circumvent any security feature of the Fasvia platform
- Uploading false, forged, or manipulated course registration forms for the purpose of fraudulent course enrolment
- Sharing login credentials, session access links, or biometric data with any other person
- Any attempt to manipulate, corrupt, delete, or falsify attendance records — including database tampering
- Using the platform for any purpose other than legitimate academic attendance management
- Conducting automated attacks, scraping, or denial-of-service attempts against Fasvia infrastructure
Section 08
Intellectual Property
All Fasvia software, source code, system architecture, design, user interfaces, brand identity, and written content are the exclusive intellectual property of Nelbion Group. All rights are reserved.
The Fasvia name, the Fasvia hexagon logo and mark, and all associated brand assets are trademarks of Nelbion Group. You may not reproduce, copy, modify, distribute, sublicense, or use any Fasvia branding or intellectual property without prior written permission from Nelbion Group.
Your use of Fasvia grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the platform solely for its intended academic attendance management purpose. This licence does not constitute a transfer of any intellectual property rights.
Where Fasvia incorporates third-party components (such as open-source libraries), those components are subject to their respective licences, which remain unaffected by these Terms.
Section 09
White Label and Institutional Licensing
Nelbion Group may licence Fasvia to universities and institutions under a white label agreement, allowing those institutions to deploy Fasvia under their own institutional branding.
Institutions that receive a white label licence are granted a sublicence to use, customise, and deploy the Fasvia platform under their branding for the duration of the licence agreement. This sublicence is non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable upon breach of the licence terms.
The "Powered by Fasvia — Nelbion Group" attribution must remain visible on all interfaces of any white-label deployment, including student-facing, lecturer-facing, and admin-facing screens. Institutions may not remove, obscure, crop, override, or replace this attribution under any circumstances. Removal of the attribution constitutes a material breach of the licence agreement.
All white label deployments remain subject to Fasvia's Privacy Policy, data processing standards, and security requirements as specified in the Data Processing Agreement between Nelbion Group and the institution.
Section 10
Service Availability
Nelbion Group aims to maintain Fasvia platform availability of 99.9% uptime on a monthly basis, measured excluding scheduled maintenance windows.
We are not liable for service unavailability caused by:
- Scheduled maintenance — we will provide advance notice of planned maintenance where possible, typically at least 48 hours in advance
- Third-party infrastructure failures, including Supabase, Vercel, or telecommunications providers
- Circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government shutdown orders, or civil unrest
- User-side issues including internet connectivity failures, device malfunctions, or browser incompatibilities
In the event of unexpected service disruption, Nelbion Group will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore service as quickly as possible and will communicate status updates via official channels.
Section 11
Limitation of Liability
Fasvia is a tool that supports attendance management. It does not make academic decisions. All consequential decisions based on attendance data are made by your institution, not by Fasvia or Nelbion Group.
To the maximum extent permitted by Nigerian law, Nelbion Group is not liable for:
- Academic decisions made by institutions based on attendance data generated by Fasvia
- Disputes between students and institutions or lecturers regarding attendance records
- Any loss, damage, or harm suffered as a result of temporary or permanent service unavailability
- Actions taken by institutions — including disciplinary action — based on fraud alerts or anomaly flags generated by the Fasvia platform
- Loss of data resulting from user error, failure to maintain account credentials, or events beyond our reasonable control
Our total aggregate liability to any individual user or institution is limited to the amount paid for the Fasvia service in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Where the service was provided free of charge, our liability is limited to NGN 50,000.
Section 12
Termination
Nelbion Group reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate any account that violates these Terms, with or without prior notice, at our sole discretion. In cases of serious violations — including GPS fraud, impersonation, or platform tampering — suspension will be immediate and the incident will be reported to the user's institution.
Individual users may permanently delete their Fasvia account at any time from their profile settings. Upon deletion, personal data will be erased in accordance with our Privacy Policy's retention schedule.
Institutions may terminate their Fasvia subscription by providing 30 days' written notice to Nelbion Group at nelbiongroup@gmail.com. Upon termination, institutional data will be provided in an exportable format for a period of 60 days, after which it will be deleted.
Section 13
Governing Law
These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms — including any dispute about their existence, validity, interpretation, breach, or termination — shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties for a period of 30 days. If the dispute is not resolved through negotiation, it shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Kwara State, Nigeria.
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to protect their rights pending resolution of a dispute.
Section 14
Changes to Terms
Nelbion Group may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in law, platform functionality, business practices, or other operational requirements.
For material changes — those that materially affect your rights or obligations — we will notify you by email and by in-app notification at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of Fasvia after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your binding acceptance of the changes.
For minor or administrative changes — such as formatting corrections or clarifications that do not affect your rights — we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page without specific notice. The most current version of these Terms is always available at fasvia.app/terms.
