BuyMeKola ("BuyMeKola", "we", "us") provides a platform for creators and communities to receive support through shareable pages and payment processing via third parties.

2) Eligibility

You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority in your location) to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you meet this requirement.

We may remove content or restrict pages that violate these Terms.

  • Payment Processor rules,
  • Our dispute review process,
  • Applicable law.

We may request information from creators/supporters to investigate issues.

6) Supporter responsibilities
