Terms of Use

Updated

Last updated: 14 October 2026

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and MDX (Motion Design Xperience) ("MDX", "we", "us"), and they govern your use of joinmdx.com and its related services (the "Platform"). By creating an account or using the Platform you agree to these Terms, to our Privacy Policy and to our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.

1. Who can use MDX

You must be at least 16 years old. By using the Platform you confirm that you are 16 or older and able to enter into this agreement. If you use the Platform for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms for it.

2. Your account

  • Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
  • One person, one account. Do not create accounts by automated means, and do not create a new account to get around a suspension.
  • Keep your password and sign-in methods secure. You are responsible for what happens on your account; tell us at [email protected] straight away if you think someone else is using it.
  • Your username must not impersonate anyone or infringe anyone's rights. We may change or reclaim a username that does.

3. Your content

  • You keep ownership of everything you post: projects, images, descriptions, comments, award entries and the rest ("Your Content").
  • You give MDX a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt (for example, resize or re-encode images) and share Your Content on the Platform and on MDX's own channels, to run, promote and improve the Platform, including featuring award entries and winners, always with credit to you. The licence ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except for material already shared publicly (such as published award results and promotion already distributed), backup copies kept for a limited time, and replies by others that quote you.
  • You confirm that you own Your Content or have every right needed to post it and grant this licence, that you have credited everyone who worked on it, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights or break the law.
  • We may remove or restrict Your Content that breaks these Terms or the Community Guidelines.

4. Community standards

Follow the Community Guidelines. In particular, you must not:

  • post anything unlawful, hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit or deliberately misleading;
  • post work you did not make or have no right to share, or misstate your role in a work;
  • manipulate votes, likes, rankings or tokens, including with several accounts, bots or coordinated activity;
  • send spam, attempt phishing or spread malware;
  • scrape, copy or collect data from the Platform by automated means without our written permission;
  • probe, scan or test the Platform's security, or interfere with how it works (to report a security issue, email [email protected]);
  • use the Platform in any way that breaks the law.

5. Awards

  • Each award window runs under the rules published for it on the Platform, including how to enter, moderation, voting and scoring.
  • Entries are reviewed before voting, and we may reject or remove an entry that breaks these Terms or the rules.
  • A vote is final once cast, and each entry's ballots are public on its voters list.
  • Results are final once published. If we find vote manipulation, plagiarism or another breach of these Terms, we may disqualify an entry, withdraw a placement or reward, or cancel a window.
  • Recognition and rewards have no cash value unless the published rules say otherwise.

6. Tokens

  • Tokens let you use features of the Platform, such as entering award windows. They are a limited, revocable licence to use those features. They are not money, electronic money, a currency, a security or property, they have no cash value, and they cannot be exchanged for cash.
  • Do not sell or trade tokens, or transfer them other than through features the Platform provides.
  • Your monthly allowance resets on the first day of each month (West Africa Time), and unused allowance does not carry over.
  • We may correct a token balance affected by an error, abuse or a breach of these Terms, and tokens may be lost if your account is closed for a breach.
  • If we offer tokens for purchase, any additional terms shown at the time of purchase also apply.

7. Events

Registering for an event reserves a place while places last. Event details can change; we will tell registered members about significant changes or cancellations where we can. Links to online events are personal, so please do not share them. You attend in-person events at your own risk and must follow the venue's rules.

8. Mailing lists and the MDX Lab waitlist

Joining a mailing list is optional, and you can unsubscribe at any time. The MDX Lab waitlist offer is exactly the terms shown when you joined, which your confirmation email quotes word for word.

9. Intellectual property and copyright complaints

The Platform, including its software, design, logos and the MDX name, belongs to MDX or its licensors and is protected by law. Do not use our trademarks without our permission.

If you believe something on the Platform infringes your copyright or other rights, email [email protected] with your contact details, a description of your work and a link to the content you believe infringes it, a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised, and a statement that your notice is accurate and that you own the rights or may act for the owner. We may remove the content, and we may suspend members who infringe repeatedly.

10. Suspension and closing your account

  • You can stop using the Platform at any time, and ask us to close your account by emailing [email protected].
  • We may suspend or close your account, limit your access or remove content if you breach these Terms, if the law requires it, or to protect members or the Platform. Where it is appropriate and lawful, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond.
  • Sections 3, 6, 9 and 11 to 16 continue to apply after your account is closed.

11. Other services

The Platform links to and works with services run by others, such as video hosts and Google sign-in. Their own terms and privacy policies apply, and we are not responsible for them.

12. Disclaimers

We provide the Platform "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we give no warranties, express or implied, including of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, and we do not promise that the Platform will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors. Content posted by members is the responsibility of the member who posted it, not of MDX.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, MDX and its team are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Platform. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Platform is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim and fifty thousand naira (₦50,000). Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that the law does not allow to be limited.

14. Indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you will compensate MDX for claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content or from your breach of these Terms or the law.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Before starting legal proceedings, we will each try in good faith to settle any dispute informally; you can reach us at [email protected]. A dispute not settled within 30 days may be brought before the courts of Nigeria, unless the law of the country where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.

16. Changes

We may change the Platform and these Terms. We will post updated Terms on this page with a new "Last updated" date and, for significant changes, give you reasonable notice by email or on the Platform before they take effect. If you keep using the Platform after the changes take effect, you accept them.

17. General

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Community Guidelines and any rules published for a feature are the entire agreement between you and MDX about the Platform. If any part of these Terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a provision, we have not waived it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms; we may transfer ours as part of a reorganisation or sale of the Platform.
