Disclaimer – Tech Guide NG

General information only

Everything published on this site is general information about consumer technology. It is not professional advice, and it is not tailored to your specific circumstances.

Technology, pricing, availability and manufacturer policies change constantly. An article accurate when written may not be accurate when you read it. Confirm current details — particularly prices, warranty terms, service availability and whether a product or service works with Nigerian cards and networks — before making a purchase.

Affiliate links

We may use affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not determine what we recommend. A considerable amount of our advice earns nothing — recommending the free tier, the cheaper model, or not buying at all.

Where affiliate links appear, our commercial arrangements are described on the editorial standards page.

Product availability and pricing

We write for Nigerian readers, and we try to be clear about what can actually be bought here. However:

Availability varies between sellers and changes without notice
Pricing moves with exchange rates and with individual retailers
Some products discussed are sold only as imports, with the warranty and service consequences we describe
Model variants differ between regions, including network band support

Always confirm that the specific unit you are buying is the variant you want, and that the warranty is honoured where you live.

Counterfeit products

Several product categories we cover — chargers, cables, memory, storage drives, earbuds — have a significant counterfeit problem in this market.

Our guidance on identifying counterfeits is offered in good faith and is not a guarantee. Counterfeits improve, and no checklist catches everything. Buying from a seller you can return to remains the most reliable protection.

No warranty

Content is provided as is. We make no warranty as to accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from reliance on information published here, including purchasing decisions, data loss, or damage to equipment.

Instructions and technical procedures

Some of our guides describe procedures such as installing memory, resetting an operating system, cleaning hardware or changing settings.

These carry risk. Follow them at your own discretion. Back up your data first. If you are not confident, use a qualified technician. We are not responsible for damage to your equipment or loss of data resulting from following any procedure described here.

For anything involving mains electricity, opening a device, or a battery showing signs of swelling, seek qualified help rather than proceeding.

Third-party links and services

We link to third-party websites and services for reference. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, their practices, or what happens if you use them.

Inclusion of a link is not an endorsement.

Software recommendations

Where we recommend software, download it from the developer’s official source. We are not responsible for software obtained from third-party download sites, which frequently bundle unwanted programs.

We do not endorse or assist with obtaining pirated software.

Security and financial guidance

Our articles occasionally touch on security practices and on payment technology. This is general information, not security consultancy or financial advice.

We will say this plainly here as well as in the articles: no legitimate bank, network operator or service provider will ever ask you for your OTP or your PIN. Anyone doing so is attempting fraud.
