About MyCut
MyCut is a deal orchestration and automated payment disbursement platform built for multi-party transactions in Nigeria. MyCut is operated by Haulscape Technologies Ltd, a company incorporated in England and Wales (Company No. 15245660), with operational presence in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.
Important: MyCut is NOT a bank, escrow agent, financial institution, lender, or money transmitter. MyCut is a software platform. Payments are processed by 9PSB and Fincra, both of which hold the relevant CBN licences. MyCut does not hold, custody, or control user funds at any point.
By using MyCut, you acknowledge and agree that MyCut operates as a technology intermediary only and that the movement of funds is governed by the terms and policies of 9PSB and Fincra.
Eligibility and Account Registration
3.1 Eligibility Requirements
To use MyCut, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Be a Nigerian resident or have a valid Nigerian Bank Verification Number (BVN)
- Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts under Nigerian law
- Not be prohibited from using financial services under any applicable law
- Not have had a MyCut account previously terminated for breach of these Terms
3.2 Account Creation
To create an account, you must provide accurate and complete information including your full name, email address, and phone number. You must complete KYC verification as required by your deal tier before initiating or participating in a deal.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must notify MyCut immediately at support@mycut.biz if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
3.3 One Account Per Person
Each individual or entity may hold only one MyCut account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent deal limits, KYC requirements, or any suspension is a material breach of these Terms and will result in permanent termination of all associated accounts.
3.4 Business Accounts
Entities and companies wishing to use MyCut for corporate deals must complete Tier 3 KYB (Know Your Business) verification. The individual registering on behalf of the entity warrants that they have authority to bind the entity to these Terms.
KYC Verification Tiers
MyCut applies CBN-mandated tiered KYC requirements. The tier applicable to a deal is determined by the total deal value:
| Tier | Requirements | Applicable to |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | BVN only | Lower-value deals — freelance and creator transactions |
| Tier 2 | BVN + NIN + Government ID | Mid-to-high value deals — real estate commissions, car transactions |
| Tier 3 | Full KYB for entities (CAC docs, director IDs) | Corporate deals, joint ventures, enterprise transactions |
You acknowledge that KYC verification is a legal requirement under CBN regulations and is not optional for completing any deal on the MyCut platform. MyCut reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that fail KYC verification or provide false documentation.
How Deals Work
5.1 Creating a Deal
Any registered, KYC-verified user may create a deal on the MyCut platform. The deal creator must specify:
- The total deal value in Nigerian Naira (NGN)
- All parties to the deal and their respective roles
- The split percentage or fixed naira amount allocated to each party
- The expected deal account lifetime (funding window)
5.2 Negotiation
All deal terms are negotiated transparently in the MyCut Deal Room. All parties can view proposed terms, submit split edit proposals, participate in group polls, and raise questions. Every action in the Deal Room is timestamped and attributed to the KYC-verified identity of the party taking that action. The negotiation trail constitutes part of the deal record.
5.3 Consent and Deal Lock
Before a deal is locked, every party must complete MyCut's multi-step informed consent flow. This flow:
- Shows each party their exact role and exact naira amount
- Shows all other parties, their roles, and their amounts
- Displays the deal account lifetime
- Presents explicit, specific warnings about the irrevocable nature of consent
- Requires a final irreversible confirmation
Consent is tied to each party's BVN-verified identity. Once all parties have confirmed, the deal is locked. After lock, no party may withdraw consent, amend deal terms, or exit the deal. Any change to deal terms before all parties have consented resets all confirmations — no party is bound to terms they did not explicitly approve.
Important — Irrevocability of Consent: Once you confirm your consent in the MyCut consent flow, your agreement to the deal terms is irrevocable. You will not be able to withdraw, amend, or dispute the split percentages or total deal value after the deal is locked. Ensure you have read and understood all deal terms before confirming.
5.4 Deal Account and Funding
Upon deal lock, a deal-specific virtual bank account is generated via 9PSB. This account is configured to accept only the Exact Amount agreed in the deal. Any payment that deviates from the Exact Amount — whether higher or lower — will be automatically rejected by the payment infrastructure and returned to the sender. MyCut bears no liability for delays or losses arising from incorrect payments.
5.5 Disbursement
Upon receipt of the Exact Amount into the Deal Account, Fincra's disbursement engine is triggered automatically. All parties receive their agreed amounts simultaneously in a single disbursement operation. No human intervention occurs between fund receipt and disbursement. MyCut targets same-day disbursement, subject to 9PSB and Fincra processing times.
5.6 Deal Account Lifetime
Every deal has a stated account lifetime, agreed by all parties before lock. If the Exact Amount is not received within the account lifetime, the Deal Account is automatically closed per the dormancy policy agreed with 9PSB. Any funds received after account closure will be returned to the sender. MyCut bears no liability for deals that fail to fund within the stated lifetime.
Fees
MyCut charges a transaction fee on successful deal completion. Fees are deducted automatically at disbursement.
| Fee Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Standard transaction fee | 1.0% – 1.5% of total deal value, deducted at disbursement |
| Volume discount | Reduced rates available for high-frequency users and enterprise accounts — contact support@mycut.biz |
| Failed deal fee | No fee charged if a deal fails to fund or is abandoned before lock |
| Payment processing costs | 9PSB and Fincra processing fees (0.3% – 0.5% of deal value) are included in the total fee — no hidden charges |
| Future premium features | Priority deal rooms, extended account lifetimes, advanced audit exports — pricing to be announced separately |
MyCut reserves the right to update its fee structure with 30 days' written notice to users. Updated fees will apply to deals created after the notice period expires. Deals already locked at the time of a fee change will be processed at the rate applicable at the time of lock.

Funds involved in suspicious transactions may be frozen pending investigation.
Disputes Between Parties
MyCut is a technology platform. Once a deal is locked and funded, disbursement is automatic and cannot be reversed by MyCut. MyCut does not act as an arbitrator, mediator, or escrow agent in disputes between deal parties.
If a dispute arises regarding a deal, MyCut will:
- Provide the complete, timestamped deal audit trail to any party upon request
- Provide the consent records showing exactly what each party agreed to
- Cooperate with any court order or legal process relating to a deal
The MyCut audit trail and consent records are designed to constitute a legally enforceable contract record under Nigerian contract law. Users are advised to seek independent legal counsel if they wish to pursue a dispute through the courts.
MyCut is not liable for any losses arising from a dispute between deal parties, including but not limited to losses from one party's failure to perform their agreed role after receiving disbursement.
Intellectual Property
All intellectual property in the MyCut platform, including the software, design, deal room architecture, consent flow, branding, and associated documentation, is owned by Haulscape Technologies Ltd. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in MyCut's intellectual property.
You retain ownership of any deal content you create on the platform (deal descriptions, negotiation messages). By creating this content, you grant MyCut a non-exclusive licence to store, display, and process it solely for the purpose of operating the platform and maintaining the audit trail.
Limitation of Liability
Please read this section carefully — it limits MyCut's legal liability to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, MyCut's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the platform shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to MyCut in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
MyCut is not liable for:
- Any loss arising from incorrect payment amounts sent to a Deal Account
- Any delay in disbursement caused by 9PSB or Fincra infrastructure
- Any loss arising from a party's failure to perform their agreed obligations after disbursement
- Any loss arising from a user providing false or inaccurate information during KYC or deal creation
- Indirect, consequential, special, or punitive damages of any kind
- Loss of profits, revenue, business, or goodwill
- Any loss arising from events outside MyCut's reasonable control, including but not limited to CBN regulatory changes, banking system outages, or force majeure events
Nothing in these Terms excludes MyCut's liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Termination and Suspension
11.1 Termination by You

- Notify you via the MyCut app and by email to your registered address
- Give you at least 30 days' notice before the changes take effect
