Service Seekers/Buyers

Subscription regulations – If the service seeker/buyer is an individual; there are no special requests for subscription, but if you are an entity; the tax ID number and the commercial registration will be requested upon registering on the website. 

Order Approvals – Once an order is confirmed; you’re not necessarily going to receive an email notification and the service seeker/buyer is required to follow up on his account. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to restrict project orders and/or refuse service to any buyer/service seeker. We may also ask to verify the information before accepting any order. The project is completed once the buyer (Service Seeker) has reviewed the delivered project, or the review period has expired (whichever comes first).

Refusal and Cancelation

The Company reserves the right to refuse any project submitted on the Website. These restrictions could include orders passed by the same account, the same credit card, and/or orders which use the same address for invoicing and/or expedition. In the event that we make changes to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by email, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was made. 

Payment method – The service seekers/buyers must complete all project requests through the website. Service seekers/buyers must pay for projects on the site using the site’s payment gateway. Service Seekers/Buyers are expressly prohibited from paying Service Providers/Sellers directly for Projects, either in person or using any payment method other than the payment gateway available through the Website. Upon request, which is granted on a case-by-case basis and at the sole discretion of the Company. If you are asked to use a payment method that is not offered by Longa, please report it immediately by contacting us.

Service Quality – The company prides itself on providing quality services. Despite our best efforts, some services may be limited. The display of the project on the site doesn’t guarantee that the project is current or will be available during your visit. If you are unable to locate a specific service or project, or if you have any questions regarding the availability of a service or project, please contact us.

The Company makes no representations or warranties about inaccuracies, typographical errors, or other defects that may be present in the content available on the Site or provided as a result of a project.

Projects Approvals and Declines 

Once project-related files have been delivered, the buyer (or service seeker) has 5 days to review the submitted files.

Leaving a review or accepting the project will complete the order and will be considered the purchaser’s acceptance of the file (or files) as is. The buyer/service seeker can object to the submitted files by clicking on “Modify”.

• If the buyer does not take any action, the order will automatically be marked as completed 5 days after delivery.

Service Providers/Sellers

While registering to the website, you pledge that you’re 16 years of age or older.

When a client requests a project through the website, the seller (Talent – Pro) will be notified through his account notifications or via an email. After the service provider successfully delivers the project file (or files) to the client, the company will credit the seller’s account with the revenue generated by the specified selling price minus the company’s commission. The Company agrees to process and transfer funds to the Seller’s Account within a reasonable period of time (see Withdrawals below) after Customer acceptance or the expiration of the review period. However, the Company cannot guarantee a specific delivery time for funds as project delays may be negotiated in advance for technical reasons.

Sellers or Buyers are expressly prohibited from including irrelevant external links (to websites, platforms, marketplaces, online groups, social media pages, etc.) or indicating any URLs in service descriptions, images, videos, or files posted. In the event of circumvention of the terms of use regulations, the company will resort to litigation and demand financial compensation and, of course, permanently terminate the account.

User rating is calculated based on reviews submitted by other users, amount of canceled projects, and ordering issues, if any. “Top Rated” users are automatically selected by the website statistics based on a list of criteria that includes: seniority, sales volume, reviews, exceptional customer service, and other criteria.

• To complete a project, the seller (Service Providers) must deliver completed files and/or proof of work using the “Project Delivery” tab located on the Order page under the “Sales Management” section.

All communications, information, and directions relating to the Project shall be made exclusively using the Website. Communication outside the Platform in connection with Projects may result in account suspension and exclusion of Users from the dispute resolution procedures listed below.

Payments

Service Seekers/Clients may not submit payments nor may Service Providers/Sellers accept them using any method other than the website’s payment gateway. Soliciting or making a payment outside of the Website is a breach of these Terms unless in case of an express written consent is given by the Platform. In the event of a blocked request or payment, the user’s account may be subject to permanent suspension. In addition, the User will be responsible for any loss and legal expenses that the Company may incur to recover monies duly owed to Naqada Music Management in connection with this project. Users agree and acknowledge that payments of Service Seekers are routinely screened by Platform staff for fraud prevention purposes before any payments are released. The Company reserves the right to withhold funds associated with any account to recover unpaid fees. Further, the User acknowledges and agrees that Company will not mediate any disputes or be liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising out of or related to the breach of this agreement. Users must report attempts or offers to make an off-site payment by a buyer or seller immediately to info@naqada.org

Withdrawals 

Withdrawal of funds from the account of the service provider/seller: users must have an active bank account or an active smart wallet within the Arab Republic of Egypt. You must ensure that the data is filled out clearly, and the company disclaims all responsibility, in the event that there is an error in your bank account numbers. And you must ensure that you put the correct account data such as your full name, bank name, account number, and IBAN number. 

We are in partnership with the fin-tech company Paymob. The company is responsible for the payment gateway for the received funds from service seekers/buyers, as well as for the withdrawal and transfers for the service providers/sellers.

• Please note that you can request a withdrawal anytime. However, any withdrawal requests during weekends or public holidays will face delays, obviously. 

Usually, the transfer does not exceed 5 working days. Please note, in case of holidays and public events, the transfer may be delayed depending on your bank.

For users with suspended accounts, the transfer of their funds may take from 45 days to 90 days. The length of the suspension period will vary depending on the reason for the account restriction and/or suspension.

Refund and cancellation policy

Refunds – If an order for a project is canceled and the platform management determines that a refund is due, the money is returned to the account balance of the (service seeker) and is available for future purchases of services on the site. This can be reviewed through your account in the wallet or account balance section. In the event that you do not wish to create other projects on the platform and refunds in general, you should contact us.

The Company reserves the right to cancel projects that are late in delivery and refund all the paid amount for the project to the service seeker.

Mutual Project Cancelation – Both buyers  and sellers have the option to cancel the project by mutual agreement. Mutual cancellation does not have a negative impact on the rating of sellers. However, excessive cancellation of any kind may result in account suspension, restriction, or termination, or pending the account for investigation by the Platform staff.

Cancellation by (Service Provider/Seller) – The service provider may “force” to cancel the project at any time. Forced cancellation means that the service provider automatically cancels the project without the consent of the service seeker. However, this “forced cancellation” may have a negative impact on their account rating. If a service provider has trouble completing a project, they should contact us for assistance.

• Disclaimer – Platform service fees are non-refundable.

Always feel free to contact us at for more information regarding refunds or cancellations.
