Who we are

Zindavi is operated by the African Web3 Collective. Writing to [email protected] reaches us.

Your account

You must be 18 or older to use Zindavi. You are responsible for what happens through your account, so keep your password to yourself and turn on two-factor sign-in when we offer it.

You pick a page name. Names that impersonate someone else, that belong to our own pages, or that look like Zindavi staff or support aren't available. If you stop using your page name, we hold it for 90 days so nobody can take it and pretend to be you.

We can take a page name back. Some names can't be checked at the moment you claim one, so a name being free today doesn't make it yours for good. We may reclaim a page name that:

• would make people think you are someone else, or suggests a connection, endorsement or official status that doesn't exist
• looks like it belongs to Zindavi, our staff, or a payment or support channel
• is being used to defraud or to impersonate
• was claimed and then never used — no page, no activity, and no verified owner, twelve months on

Matching a brand is not, by itself, enough. Ordinary words are registered trademarks somewhere, by someone, in some line of business. What we look at is whether people would be misled — not whether a company somewhere owns the word. If the name is your own name, or your own business, or you hold the rights to it, say so and that settles it.

We act when someone tells us. We don't check page names against trademark registers, and we don't go looking. Almost every time, this starts with a complaint from the person or company affected.

Some names are held from the start. A small list is blocked at sign-up because it is commonly used to impersonate — exchanges, wallets, well-known projects, and anything that reads as Zindavi staff or support.

If one of those is yours, sign up with X. Where the X account you sign up with has the same username, the name is yours straight away — holding @yourbrand on X is the best proof there is at that moment, and it saves you writing to anyone. It releases that one name and nothing built around it. Names that read as Zindavi staff or support are never released this way, to anybody. If X doesn't fit your case, write to us instead.

How that works. We'll email you first, explain which name is affected and why, and give you a reasonable chance to reply or pick a new one. If you have a genuine claim to the name, tell us and we'll take that into account. We only act without warning where a name is being used to defraud or impersonate, because leaving it up costs somebody money.

You don't lose your page. Reclaiming a name changes your address, not your account: your links, products, courses and your record all move to the new name with you. We'll say when the change takes effect so you can update where you share your link. A name we reclaim from someone goes into the same 90-day hold as any other released name — complaining about a name is not a way to be given it. That is separate from the held list above, which is a name nobody had in the first place.

If you believe a page name infringes something you own, write to [email protected] with the name and what you hold the rights to.

Your page name and your account are not transferable. You can't sell them, rent them, or hand them to someone else. A page name carries what you've done here, and that has to mean you did it. An account that changes hands is closed, and the name goes back into the 90-day hold.

What you publish

Your page and anything you post stays yours. You give us permission to show it on Zindavi and in previews when someone shares your link. Nothing more.

You agree not to use Zindavi to:

• defraud anyone, including through fake airdrops, drainer links or impersonation
• promise investment returns, or present anything here as financial advice
• publish someone else's work as your own, or anything illegal where you live
• hide where a link goes, for example with a link shortener
• sell accounts, page names, wallets or tokens, here or through links from here

Our community guidelines describe this in more detail. We can remove content that breaks these rules and, where the breach is serious, close the account. When we remove something, we say why.

Money

Your page and your link are free. When selling launches, Zindavi will take 5% of each sale and no monthly fee.

We hold the buyer's payment for 7 days. The buyer gets what they bought straight away; the money waits. If they tell us in that week that something is wrong, it stops where it is until a person has looked. If they don't, the seller is paid. We hold it in a separate wallet from our own money, and we never spend it.

If a wallet you have linked to your account has held the published amount of our token for at least one month before a payout, that payout is charged 1% instead of 5%. You link a wallet by signing a message with it, which proves it is yours. We check the lowest balance it held across that whole month, and if we can't read it, or what we read doesn't add up, the payout is charged 5%. One wallet belongs to one account at a time. Holding our token is never required to sell here, we never take custody of it, and we can change the qualifying amount. We will say so before a change takes effect.

Crypto payments cannot be reversed. Sellers set their own refund policies, and we may suspend sellers who repeatedly fail to deliver what they sold.

We are not an escrow service between strangers. Selling here covers work and digital goods we can see delivered: a file downloaded, a link revealed, a milestone accepted. We don't hold money for private deals in tokens, accounts or anything else we can't verify, and a deal you make off Zindavi is between you and the other person.

Ending it

You can delete your account at any time in settings, and take your data with you first. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or where the law requires it.

What we don't promise

Zindavi is provided as it is. We work to keep it available and accurate, but we don't promise it will never be unavailable, and we aren't responsible for what other people publish or sell through it. Nothing here is financial, legal or tax advice.

Changes

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell you before it takes effect. Continuing to use Zindavi after that means you accept the new version.
