11. Governing Law

This agreement is governed by the Data Protection Act of 2019. The Data Protection Act of 2019 is a Kenyan law that protects the privacy of individuals by regulating the processing of personal data. Further, any other relevant laws of Kenya will apply to our agreement. You can make a claim against us in the courts of Kenya if you believe we’ve not complied with these terms or the law.

12. Other Legal Considerations

We won’t be responsible for any loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable, or that’s caused by your failure to comply with these terms. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time you started using our services, both we and you knew it might happen. Nothing in these terms removes or limits our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or from fraud or fraudulent claims and statements. If these terms are translated into another language, the translation is for reference only and the English version will apply. If English is not your usual language, you must communicate with us in the English language in relation to any legal matters arising under these terms, including with respect to submitting and resolving any complaints.

All the intellectual property in our products and services (for example, the Remit254 Account, the content in our mobile application and our website, our product names, our logo and card designs) are owned by Remit254 registered in Kenya and are used by us and other companies which are affiliated with Remit254. You must not use our intellectual property as your own, except to enjoy our services. You also must not reverse-engineer any of our services (that is, reproduce them after examining how our services are constructed).

This agreement is between you and us. Only you and we have rights under the agreement. You cannot transfer any of your rights or obligations to anyone. If one part of this agreement is invalid, the other parts of the agreement are still valid. We may transfer any of your and our rights or obligations under the agreement in response to a legal or regulatory requirement or if we reasonably think that this won't have a significant negative effect on your rights under the agreement.
