Niger has a copyright regime under the Ordinance No. 2010-95. However, the exceptions do not follow the fair use or fair dealing model, therefore limiting the lawful use of copyrighted work by others. Arts. 10-27 list the exceptions, which include free reproduction for private use, free use for teaching and scientific research, free reproduction for judicial and administrative purposes, and free use for information purposes, among others.
In addition, the Revised Bangui Agreement is a regional intellectual property law that is not only a regional convention applicable in all member states but also serves as a national intellectual property law in Niger and each of the other member states. The Revised Bangui Agreement contains provisions on copyright in Annex VII: Chapter IV (Limitations to Economic Rights) and establishes a regime of copyright exceptions. Nevertheless, these exceptions similarly do not conform to the fair use or fair dealing models.

Niger is not a signatory of the 1996 World Trade Organization (WTO) Information Technology Agreement (ITA) nor the 2015 expansion (ITA II).

Nicaragua does not implement any de minimis threshold, which is the minimum value of goods below which customs do not charge duties.

Art. 9 of the Foreign Agents Law requires foreign agents to register with the Nicaraguan Government and to file reports on all funds and donations received from foreign entities, including how they are used.
The law defines “foreign agents” as any person who performs or works as an agent, representative, employee, service provider or any other activity subject to the orders, requirements, instruction, direction, supervision, or control from a foreign entity or from an individual or legal entity whose activities are, directly or indirectly, supervised, directed, controlled, financed or subsidised, in whole or in part, by foreign individuals, Governments, capital, businesses or funds, directly or through a third party, be it an individual or legal entities. It is reported that legal experts have expressed concern that the law is written so broadly that the government could apply it to any entity.

The Consumer and Users' Rights Protection Law and its regulation provide a comprehensive framework for consumer protection that also applies to online transactions.

Nicaragua has not signed the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts.

Nicaragua has not adopted national legislation based on or influenced by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Commerce.

Nicaragua enacted the Electronic Signature Act, drawing upon the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Electronic Signatures.

Agreement No. 004-2025 on the Regulations for the Approval of Telecommunications Equipment establishes the national type-approval procedure. Pursuant to Arts. 4–5, telecommunications equipment subject to the approval regime must hold an appropriate conformity certification demonstrating compliance with the technical, regulatory, health, and human safety standards applicable in Nicaragua, or with standards issued by international standardisation bodies adopted and accepted by the Nicaraguan Institute of Telecommunications and Postal Services (TELCOR). For such certifications to be recognised in Nicaragua, conformity assessment bodies and national or international testing laboratories, whether public or private, must be accredited by the competent national authority responsible for technical standardisation and quality certification of products and services.
Art. 6 further provides that TELCOR may enter into mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) with other States or international organisations for the reciprocal recognition of standards, conformity certifications, and laboratory tests issued by the relevant conformity certification bodies. Accordingly, an applicant for a certificate of approval who holds a certificate of conformity issued by a State or organisation recognised by TELCOR under an MRA may apply for the registration of approved telecommunications equipment in accordance with the terms established in that MRA.
Under Art. 10, an applicant seeking a certificate of approval must submit, inter alia: (a) a duly completed approval application form; (c) a copy of the document evidencing the applicant’s legal representation; (d) a certificate of conformity issued by at least one international standardisation organisation and/or a foreign regulatory authority accredited in Nicaragua, although, pending the accreditation of an international conformity certification body in Nicaragua, a notarised declaration of conformity may be submitted instead (and, where issued abroad, it must be duly apostilled or otherwise authenticated); (e) laboratory test reports, the technical specifications sheet for the telecommunications equipment, and, optionally, the user manual; and (f) photographs of the interior and exterior of the telecommunications equipment.

Pursuant to Art. 65 of Law No. 735, service providers are obligated to design their systems in a manner that facilitates surveillance. Additionally, Art. 65 mandates that companies maintain a record of their users, which must be accessible to authorities involved in the investigation or prosecution of criminal offences. These requirements apply to both private and public entities that provide telephone, computer, or other electronic communication services. Art. 45 of the Regulation of Law No. 735 specifies that the official register referenced in Art. 65 must include, at a minimum, the following information:
- The date, time, and location at which the service is provided;
- The client’s or user’s full name, along with their national identity card number, valid passport number, or student card number;
- The client’s or user’s address and telephone number;
- Identification of the service provided.
Furthermore, Art. 45 stipulates that police authorities and the Public Prosecutor's Office shall have access to this register without additional formalities as part of their official duties and powers.

Art. 110 of the General Act on Convergent Telecommunications requires public telecommunications service operators and audiovisual communications service providers to provide any information requested by the Nicaraguan Institute of Telecommunications and Postal Services (TELCOR), including statistical and georeferential data, upon request and at TELCOR's discretion. Art. 112 further requires these operators to grant TELCOR access to their facilities for technical inspections and for the review of internal documentation. It is reported that, taken together, these provisions enable extensive government access to user-related information.

It is reported that a basic legal framework on intermediary liability for copyright infringement is absent in Nicaragua's law and jurisprudence.

A basic legal framework on intermediary liability beyond copyright infringement is absent in Nicaragua's law and jurisprudence. Moreover, the 2020 Special Cybercrimes Law imposes significant penalties for online activities and applies to social media users and media outlets. The law allows the punishment of administrators of technological platforms that intervene in the content (Art. 16). It is reported that the use of vague and undefined terms can be applied arbitrarily or discretionally, resulting in legal uncertainty about their scope.
