TERMS &
CONDITIONS
LAST UPDATED AND EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 4, 2026
2. Software role
NollyWin provides registration, scheduling, queue administration, notices and records. It is not a bank, wallet, escrow, pool, lender, investment, lottery or gambling service.
3. Live service
NollyWin uses Stripe Connect for provider-confirmed direct payments to the scheduled recipient. NollyWin does not receive, pool, hold or distribute contribution principal.
4. Registration and activation
Registration remains pending until the member completes the profile and a signed provider event confirms the first manual direct payment to the named recipient. Autopay does not replace this initial activation payment.
5. One choice
A member chooses one $5, $10, $15 or $20 amount per window. Confirmation locks the other choices until the next window.
6. Equal normal participation
Every confirmed amount, including $5, provides full active participation and advances ahead of inactive members.
7. Voluntary boosters
Subject to displayed next-round availability, $10 provides exactly 1 extra active-position move, $15 exactly 2 and $20 exactly 3. A higher tier is never reduced to a smaller booster. If its exact movement is unavailable, that amount remains a normal contribution without a booster label; paying more is never required for activity or an eventual turn.
8. Booster limits
Movement is disclosed before checkout and applies only to the next-round queue after the current window closes. The scheduled recipient cannot buy a booster. A used booster causes one booster-free window, cannot pass the current recipient or protected first-turn members, cannot create another turn and does not guarantee timing. Every final position is unique; when boosted targets compete, the larger valid booster ranks first, then the earlier original queue position.
9. Direct Stripe charge
Stripe processes the payment directly on the scheduled recipient's Express connected account. That recipient is merchant of record and, under NollyWin's current direct-charge setup, bears Stripe's payment-processing fees. NollyWin never receives, pools, holds or distributes contribution principal.
10. Net proceeds, fees and reversals
The selected amount is gross, not a guaranteed recipient net. Example: from a $20 payment, Stripe separates the $0.30 NollyWin fee. If Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 domestic-card rate applies, Stripe's illustrative processing fee is $0.88 and the recipient nets approximately $18.82 before any reserve, refund, dispute or reversal. Actual Stripe fees vary by payment method, card origin, currency conversion and account pricing. The contribution and NollyWin fee are non-refundable after confirmation except where applicable law requires otherwise.
11. Optional $20 monthly two-way upgrade
The upgrade is a separate, recurring $20-per-month NollyWin software subscription. It automates eligible outgoing contributions and opens the member's previously connected Stripe recipient account automatically when the member becomes #1. It is not a contribution, queue balance or guarantee that any payment will succeed. Subscription billing continues until canceled through the Member Circle or Stripe's billing portal.
12. Two-way authorization
An upgraded member may select $5, $10, $15 or $20 and authorize one off-session direct charge per eligible window to the scheduled recipient. When that upgraded member becomes the recipient, outgoing contribution autopay is skipped and NollyWin automatically opens the member's previously connected Stripe account to receive eligible manual and automatic payments. Outgoing autopay resumes in the next eligible window.
13. Upgrade limits and failures
Every member must complete Stripe recipient onboarding once; the upgrade cannot create or connect a bank account without that authorization. NollyWin creates no more than one contribution record per member and window and uses provider idempotency controls. Stripe or a member's bank may decline a charge, require authentication, or restrict a connected account. The upgrade does not guarantee payment or receipt.
14. Subscription cancellation
Pausing contribution autopay does not cancel the $20 monthly subscription. Members cancel or update billing in the Stripe billing portal. Cancellation stops renewal at the displayed effective time; charges already completed are non-refundable except where law requires otherwise.
15. Provider records
Only a verified provider event changes participation. A return page, receipt image or unconfirmed checkout is not payment proof.
16. Provider control and payout timing
Stripe controls processing fees, settlement, payout schedules, reserves, refunds, disputes, reversals and connected-account eligibility. Stripe typically schedules a connected recipient's first live payout within 7–14 days. Later standard payouts commonly reach the recipient's bank in about 2–3 business days, but account country, weekends, holidays, bank processing, reserves or reviews can extend those periods. The recipient must use the expected deposit date displayed in the Stripe Dashboard; NollyWin does not control or guarantee bank-deposit timing.
17. Recipient readiness and rotation
Position #1 has the full displayed window to make receiving available. An active upgrade automatically opens the member's previously connected Stripe account; a standard member must open receiving manually. The timer does not pause. At the deadline the recipient moves to the end and the next eligible member becomes #1 whether or not receiving opened.
18. Blocked-payment protection
If the scheduled recipient never makes receiving available during the window, members cannot be charged and existing active members keep their standing. That recipient cannot stall the queue or repeat the same turn.
19. Adaptive timing
The contribution window starts at 24 hours and shortens one hour per 25 active members, never below one hour.
20. No guarantee
NollyWin does not guarantee participation levels, amounts received, timing, provider approval, availability, successful autopay or a particular future payment.
21. One-person-one-membership enforcement
NollyWin uses unique email addresses, standardized unique phone numbers, CAPTCHA and server-side registration rate limits to discourage repeat registration. NollyWin does not require SMS OTP, an identity document or a selfie and does not retain an identity-document fingerprint. Members may contact support to appeal an incorrect phone or email match.
22. Conduct and changes
Fraud, duplicate accounts, false account information, sanctions evasion, payment abuse and queue manipulation are prohibited. Material terms require notice and acceptance. Contact rworship@nollywoodspotlight.org.
23. Referral upgrade credits
A tracked referral qualifies only after the referred member completes a first provider-confirmed contribution. Every 3 qualified referrals earns the referring member one non-renewing upgrade month; for example, 9 qualified referrals earns 3 upgrade months. Each earned month is scheduled for the next available calendar month, beginning no earlier than the month after it is earned. It does not renew or create a $20 upgrade charge. A first-time upgraded member may still need to authorize a contribution payment method through Stripe before outgoing Autopay can operate. Rewards have no cash value, are non-transferable, and cannot be used as a contribution, booster, queue balance or queue movement. Self-referrals, duplicate accounts, reversed or fraudulent payments and other manipulation do not qualify. NollyWin may correct or revoke improperly earned rewards.
24. Optional marketing email
Marketing, onboarding and re-engagement emails require the member's separate opt-in. Marketing emails do not contain account, payment, queue or private profile information. A member may unsubscribe by unchecking the email box in the Member Circle or by using the unsubscribe link in an email. Essential account, service, security and support communications are unaffected.
