It is, therefore, critical that you read and understand these terms and conditions (the “Terms”). The core Terms set out the NAPSA general terms for using the eServices including the NAPSA privacy policy. The Terms detail how NAPSA will use the information collected from you. For any clarifications on these Terms and conditions, you can get in touch with us on +260 211 395 677 or email: info@napsa.co.zm or chat with us via our eNAPSA webchat on our portal enapsa.napsa.co.zm.

2. THE SERVICE
You may only access the NAPSA eServices solutions if you’re a duly registered member or employer of the National Pension Scheme Authority and issued with a social security number or employer account number respectively as stipulated in the NAPSA Act for the member and employer definitions. Further details on how to register and use our eServices solutions can be found on our website napsa.co.zm .
The services offered to you via the eServices solutions may vary depending on the type of mobile device you are using.
3. AVAILABILITY OF SERVICE
While NAPSA will make every effort to ensure the eServices are available, NAPSA will not be liable for any failure to provide the services, in part or full, for any reason beyond NAPSA’s control. This includes any suspension of the Service resulting from maintenance and upgrades to our systems or the systems of any party used to provide the Service, outages on any phone network or in the case of mobile networks where you are not in an area of mobile coverage.
The Application is provided “as is” with no representation, guarantee or warranty of any kind as to its functionality.
4. SECURITY PROCEDURE
You must always keep your login credentials confidential and take all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized or fraudulent use of them.
You must not disclose your credentials to any other person or record them in any way that may result in them becoming known to another person.
Please note that after initial registration we will never contact you (or ask anyone to do so on our behalf), with a request to disclose your credentials in part or in full. If you receive any such request from anyone (even if they are using our name and logo and appear to be genuine) then it is likely to be fraudulent and you must not supply your credentials to them in any circumstances. Additionally, you should report any such requests to NAPSA immediately.
If you suspect that anyone knows your credentials you must contact NAPSA immediately. If you fail to do so, you will be liable for any unauthorized transactions on your account confirmed by use of your credentials.
You will be responsible for all instructions issued via your credentials from the time you pass the login procedure until you exit from the eServices. Kindly note that this includes any input errors or instructions sent by someone other than yourself. In this regard you are urged not to leave your mobile phone or computer unattended while you are still logged onto the eServices.
You must advise us of any change to your mobile phone number or email address.
5. TRANSACTIONS
You acknowledge that you are responsible for all transactions carried out using the eService including the payment of any penalties that may arise from use of the eService.
6. CHARGES
NAPSA does not currently charge you for accessing the eServices. However, note that your network operator may charge you when using the eServices and these charges may vary if you access the eService outside Zambia.
7. OUR LIABILITY
NAPSA will not be liable for any breach of or failure to perform its obligations where that breach (or failure) is due to abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond its control, the consequences of which would have been unavoidable despite all efforts.
8. VARIATION/ TERMINATION OF SERVICE

You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to delete the NAPSA eServices application from your mobile phone if you change your mobile device or dispose of it.
Unless we are unable to contact you or there is a legal reason or other circumstances beyond our control preventing us from doing so, we will notify you before taking any action to suspend, withdraw or restrict your use of the eService and provide our reasons for doing so. Where we are unable to contact you beforehand, if possible, we shall still notify you and give our reasons afterwards.
We may suspend, withdraw or restrict the use of the eServices or any part of the eService where:
- we have reasonable grounds to suspect that your credentials have not been kept safe; or
- we have reasonable grounds to suspect unauthorized or fraudulent use of your credentials; or
- we consider it appropriate for your protection.
If we have a valid reason for doing so, we may change the Terms of our agreement with you by notifying you through the NAPSA points of presence network or other means.
