Terms of Service & Disclaimer
Effective October 1, 2026. Applies to CVIMEI Check on WhatsApp and on this website, operated by JA Business Systems (“we”, “us”, “our”).
Please read this carefully, especially the Disclaimer section below. By messaging CVIMEI Check on WhatsApp, creating a website account, or otherwise using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
1. What CVIMEI Check Is
CVIMEI Check is a paid, pay-as-you-go lookup service that reports information about a phone (such as blacklist/stolen status, iCloud/FMI lock status, carrier status, and similar device information) based on its IMEI, accessible via WhatsApp and this website. We are not the carrier, manufacturer, or any government registry — we obtain results from third-party lookup providers and relay them to you.
2. Disclaimer — Accuracy of Results
Results are provided “as is” and “as available”, for informational purposes only, and are not guaranteed to be complete, current, or accurate. We source results from third-party data providers we do not control. A phone reported “clean” can later be reported lost, stolen, blacklisted, or locked (and vice versa) as carrier and registry data changes — a result reflects only what that provider returned at the moment of the check, nothing more.
We are not responsible for any decision made in reliance on a check result — including, without limitation, a decision to buy, sell, trade, finance, or accept a device as collateral. You use every result entirely at your own risk and are solely responsible for any further due diligence before acting on it.
3. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be able to form a binding contract to use the service. Website access is via a one-time code sent to your WhatsApp number; you are responsible for keeping that number and any active login session secure, and for all activity under your account.
An account owner may link one or more staff/salesperson phone numbers to their account. The account owner is responsible for all actions taken by anyone they link — stock and records added, sales recorded, checks run — as if the owner had taken that action directly. Removing a staff member’s access is the owner’s responsibility and takes effect immediately once removed.
4. Wallet, Pricing, and Payments
- The service is prepaid. You top up a wallet balance and each check or service deducts its listed price at the time of use.
- Prices are set by us and may change at any time; the price in effect at the moment of a check is the price charged.
- Payments are processed by third-party payment processors (including Paystack and Stripe). We do not store your card details. A payment must be made using the same phone number as your account, or it cannot be matched and credited.
- Wallet balance is non-refundable and non-transferable to cash, except: (a) where a specific check fails to return a usable result, in which case the amount debited for that check is automatically refunded to your wallet, or (b) as required by applicable law.
- Wallet balance has no cash value and cannot be withdrawn, sold, or exchanged for anything other than use of the service.
5. Coupons and Promotions
Coupon codes, free checks, and other promotions are offered at our discretion, may be limited (including to one redemption per person across all codes), and may be changed, limited, or withdrawn at any time without notice. Any attempt to abuse, game, or fraudulently redeem a coupon (including using multiple numbers to redeem the same intended benefit) is a violation of these Terms and may result in the benefit being reversed and the account suspended.
6. Reseller Tools — Stock and Records
The stock/inventory tracker and item record features are tools for your own record-keeping. Any description, price, photo, supplier, or customer information you or your staff enter is provided by you, is not verified by us, and is your sole responsibility. We are not a party to, and have no liability arising from, any sale, trade, or transaction you record or conduct using these tools.
7. Prohibited Use
You agree not to use the service to:
- Facilitate or further the sale, purchase, or trade of a device you know to be stolen, fraudulently obtained, or illegally imported;
- Attempt to circumvent, abuse, or overload the service, its pricing, or its anti-fraud measures (including the coupon and wallet systems);
- Impersonate another person, or link/use a phone number or payment method you are not authorized to use;
- Send bulk, abusive, or unsolicited messages through the service; or
- Violate any applicable law in the course of using the service.
We may suspend or terminate access, withhold or reverse wallet balance obtained through fraud or abuse, and report conduct to relevant authorities where we reasonably believe this section has been violated.
8. Third-Party Services
The service depends on third parties we do not control, including WhatsApp/Meta (messaging), our payment processors, and our IMEI/device data providers. We are not responsible for outages, delays, errors, or data inaccuracies originating from any of these third parties, or for any change they make to their own terms, pricing, or availability that affects our service.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: the service is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profit, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold JA Business Systems harmless from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any right of a third party, including any dispute arising from a device transaction you entered into relying on a check result.
11. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the service at any time, with or without notice, for conduct we believe violates these Terms, is fraudulent, or is harmful to us, other users, or third parties. You may stop using the service at any time. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 2, 6–10, and 13) will survive.
12. Your Information
We collect and use the information reasonably necessary to operate the service — your WhatsApp number, messages you send us, transaction and check history, and any content (such as photos or notes) you choose to submit through the record-keeping or stock features. We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with the third-party providers named above strictly as needed to operate the service (for example, sharing an IMEI with our lookup provider to run a check, or a phone number with a payment processor to match a top-up). Contact us at cvimeichecksupport@gmail.com with any data request or concern.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Nigeria.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the effective date above when we do. Continuing to use the service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
15. Contact
Questions, complaints, or notices regarding these Terms should be sent to cvimeichecksupport@gmail.com.
