Eligibility
Who may use the PrepBeta platform

The Service is designed for students in secondary school (JSS1–SS3) and those preparing for national examinations including JAMB, WAEC, and NECO in Nigeria. To use PrepBeta you must:

  • Be at least 13 years of age. Users under 18 must have a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on their behalf.
  • Have access to a valid WhatsApp-enabled phone number for lesson delivery.
  • Provide accurate, complete, and current information during registration.
  • Not be barred from receiving our Service under the laws of Nigeria or any applicable jurisdiction.
School Accounts The school administrator who creates a School Account represents and warrants that they have authority to bind their institution to these Terms and that all enrolled students meet the eligibility requirements above.

PrepBeta reserves the right to refuse or revoke access to anyone who provides false information or does not meet these eligibility requirements.

03
Account & Registration
Your responsibilities for account security and accuracy

When you register for a PrepBeta account you agree to:

  • Provide a real name and a WhatsApp number that you own and actively use.
  • Keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • Notify us immediately at support@prepbeta.com if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.
  • Not share your account credentials or allow another person to use your account as their own.
  • Maintain an accurate WhatsApp number on your account at all times — lesson delivery depends on this.
One account per person Creating multiple accounts to circumvent a suspension or to access the Service without payment is a violation of these Terms and may result in permanent exclusion.

School Administrators are additionally responsible for ensuring that every student enrolled under their School Account has parental consent (where applicable) and has been informed of these Terms.

04
WhatsApp Lesson Delivery
How lessons are sent and your obligations

PrepBeta delivers its core educational content through the WhatsApp Business Platform. By registering, you expressly consent to receiving automated educational messages, lesson content, mini-tests, progress updates, and service notifications from PrepBeta via WhatsApp.

To ensure uninterrupted delivery you must:

  • Save PrepBeta's number to your contacts. WhatsApp may route messages from unsaved numbers to your "Requests" folder.
  • Keep WhatsApp installed and active on the registered number. Uninstalling or blocking our number suspends your lesson delivery — your plan will not be paused or refunded for this reason.
  • Not spam or abuse PrepBeta's WhatsApp channel. We may block users who send abusive or irrelevant messages.
Opt-out You may stop receiving marketing messages at any time by sending "STOP" via WhatsApp. Transactional messages required for your active plan (e.g. lesson content, OTPs) cannot be fully stopped without cancelling your plan.

PrepBeta is not responsible for delivery failures caused by WhatsApp platform outages, your phone carrier, full storage, or you blocking our number.

05
Payments, Plans & Refunds
Billing cycles, renewal, cancellation and refund policy
