Terms & Conditions
Last updated: June 09, 2026
Welcome to Nkomode.com (“the Platform”), a citizen‑powered news and community platform based in Ghana. By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before creating an account or submitting any content.

By using Nkomode.com, you confirm that you accept these terms and agree to comply with them. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Platform. If you are under 18, you confirm that you have obtained the consent of a parent or guardian. By registering, you represent that you are not barred from receiving services under Ghanaian law.
3. User Accounts
When you create an account, you agree to provide accurate and complete information, including your mobile money number for payments. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities under your account. Nkomode reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
4. Content Submission & Ownership
You retain ownership of any original content (text, images, videos) you post on Nkomode. By submitting content, you grant Nkomode a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free licence to use, reproduce, distribute, and display the content on the Platform and in promotional materials. You warrant that your content does not infringe any third‑party rights and is not false, misleading, or defamatory.
5. Revenue Sharing & Payments
Nkomode operates a performance‑based revenue sharing model. Contributors earn based on the number of views and upvotes their published stories receive. The current rates are displayed on your dashboard and may be updated from time to time.
Payments are made weekly (or as announced) exclusively via Mobile Money (MoMo) to the number you provide. You are responsible for ensuring your MoMo details are correct. Nkomode is not liable for payments sent to wrong numbers due to outdated or incorrect information. All earnings are displayed in Ghana Cedis (GHS). Nkomode reserves the right to withhold payments if it detects fraudulent activity (e.g., artificial views, vote manipulation).
