Rider Partner Agreement
Draft. This document is pending review by a Nigerian-qualified lawyer and is not final legal text.

To ride on the Okim platform, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Own or have legal use of a roadworthy motorcycle, bike, or tricycle
- Hold a valid rider's license and vehicle particulars

- Handle all packages and orders with care
- Treat customers, vendors, and other riders respectfully
- Follow all applicable traffic laws and safety regulations
- Not open, tamper with, or misappropriate any package or order in transit

- Payout schedule: Needs input: confirmed payout schedule — manual withdrawal vs. fixed weekly run
6. Vehicle and Equipment
Riders are solely responsible for the maintenance, insurance (where applicable), and legal compliance of their own vehicle. Okim Logistics does not provide vehicles.

Okim Logistics may suspend or deactivate a rider's account for violation of this Agreement, repeated customer complaints, fraudulent activity, or failure to maintain valid documentation. Riders may stop using the platform at any time.
8. Liability
Riders are responsible for their own conduct while making deliveries. Okim Logistics is not liable for accidents, injuries, or damages arising from a rider's operation of their vehicle, except as required by law.
9. Taxes
Riders are responsible for reporting and paying any taxes applicable to their earnings under Nigerian law.
10. Changes to This Agreement
Okim Logistics may update this Agreement from time to time. Continued use of the rider app after changes constitutes acceptance.
