Please read these terms carefully before using the OrbytHome platform.

Last Modified: July 4, 2026


1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the OrbytHome platform (website, mobile application, and related services), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must discontinue use of the platform immediately.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements under Nigerian law to use OrbytHome. By registering an account, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

3. Account Registration

To access certain features, you must create an account with accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately at info@orbythome.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

4. Property Listings

Agents and property owners who list properties on OrbytHome represent and warrant that: • They have the legal right to sell, rent, or advertise the property. • All listing information (price, location, features, images) is accurate and not misleading. • Listings comply with all applicable Nigerian laws and regulations. OrbytHome reserves the right to remove any listing that violates these terms, is reported as fraudulent, or is otherwise deemed inappropriate. IMPORTANT — LISTINGS ARE NOT VERIFIED BY ORBYTHOME. All listings are created and supplied by third-party agents and property owners. OrbytHome does not inspect properties, verify title documents, confirm ownership, or validate the accuracy of any listing information. Any "verified" badge or similar indicator refers only to identity or document checks on the account holder and is not a warranty, endorsement, or guarantee of any property, title, or transaction. Administrative review or approval of a listing before publication is a content-moderation step only and does not constitute verification of the property or its ownership.

5. User Due Diligence and Fraud Warning

Real estate fraud, including fake listings, impersonation of agents, and advance-fee ("rent scam") schemes, exists in the Nigerian market. You agree that before paying any money or signing any agreement you will: • Physically inspect the property and confirm the identity of the agent or owner. • Independently verify title documents (e.g., Certificate of Occupancy, Deed of Assignment, Governor's Consent) through a licensed legal practitioner or the relevant land registry. • Confirm, where applicable, that an agent is registered with the relevant regulatory authority (e.g., LASRERA in Lagos State or ESVARBON for estate surveyors and valuers). ORBYTHOME NEVER COLLECTS RENT, DEPOSITS, OR PROPERTY PAYMENTS ON BEHALF OF AGENTS OR OWNERS. The only payments made to OrbytHome are subscription fees for listing services. Never transfer money for a property to any account claiming to be OrbytHome. You acknowledge that you rely on any listing at your own risk and that OrbytHome shall not be liable for losses arising from your failure to conduct independent verification.

6. Subscription Plans

OrbytHome offers subscription plans (Starter, Professional, Business, and Premium) with varying listing limits and features. Paid subscriptions require manual bank transfer to our designated First Bank account. Subscriptions are activated after payment verification by our admin team. Subscription fees are non-refundable once the subscription period has been activated, except where required by applicable law.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to: • Post false, misleading, or fraudulent property listings. • Impersonate another person, agent, or entity. • Use the platform for money laundering, advance-fee fraud, or any illegal activity. • Scrape, harvest, or collect data from the platform without written authorization. • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts or our systems. • Upload content that is defamatory, obscene, or violates the rights of any third party. • Interfere with or disrupt the platform's operation or security.

8. Intellectual Property

Act. Agents are solely responsible for the accuracy of their listings, their interactions with buyers/renters, their fees and commissions, and compliance with all applicable laws. Agents represent that they will not charge fees exceeding limits imposed by applicable state law.

17. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms of Use shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved amicably within 30 days, it shall be referred to mediation and, failing settlement, to arbitration by a sole arbitrator in Abuja, FCT, in accordance with the Arbitration and Mediation Act, 2023. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. To the extent permitted by law, disputes shall be resolved on an individual basis, and neither party shall bring or participate in any class or representative action against the other.
