The rules for using Balotiq.
**Last updated: 9 October 2026**
These terms govern your use of Balotiq, operated by PagezTech Ventures. By creating an account, running an election, applying for membership, managing members, making a payment, or voting through Balotiq, you agree to them.
The service
Balotiq provides Governance for registered elections and organization membership administration, Engage for public voting in pageants and awards, and Ticketing for event sales and admission. Membership features let organizations publish membership types, receive applications, approve or reject applicants, maintain member records, and administer dues.
Accounts and responsibilities
You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for the accuracy of information you submit or upload. Organization administrators are responsible for having authority to run their activities, lawfully handling voter and member data, setting clear membership eligibility and dues terms, making fair approval or rejection decisions, keeping member records accurate, and communicating decisions to applicants. Applicants must provide accurate information and may apply only on their own behalf unless authorized to act for someone else.
Payments
Governance flat-fee elections, Engage vote-package purchases, ticket purchases, and paid membership dues are processed through Paystack where enabled. Organizations set their membership types, dues amounts, and billing cycles. See our Billing & Refund Policy for how charges and refunds work.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- •Run an election you don't have the authority to run.
- •Upload a voter roll containing people who haven't consented to be on it.
- •Collect or use membership data without a lawful purpose, discriminate unlawfully in membership decisions, or misrepresent membership eligibility, benefits, or dues.
- •Attempt to vote more than once, impersonate another voter, or bypass verification.
- •Attempt to interfere with, tamper with, or manipulate ballot data or results.
Election integrity and ballot secrecy
Every ballot is encrypted and chained to the one before it, and once cast it's not possible for anyone, including PagezTech Ventures, to alter it undetected or trace it back to who cast it. We take this as a structural commitment, not just a policy statement.
Availability
Balotiq is an early-stage platform. We work to keep it available and reliable, but we don't currently offer a formal uptime guarantee or service-level agreement. We recommend not relying on Balotiq for an election with no fallback plan if you need one.
Limitation of liability
Balotiq is provided "as is." To the extent permitted by law, PagezTech Ventures isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the platform, including a disputed or delayed election result.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these terms, particularly around election integrity or acceptable use. You can stop using Balotiq at any time.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ghana.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change materially, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
