Terms of Service

The agreement between your estate and Duvane when you use our platform and website.

Last updated: 12 August 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Duvane platform and website operated by {{LEGAL_ENTITY}} ("Duvane", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using Duvane, you agree to these Terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of an estate or organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to do so.

01The service

Duvane provides software for managing residential estates and gated communities, including visitor gate-passes, dues and billing, resident records, maintenance and security tools. We may add, change or remove features to improve the service.

02Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and authorised to represent your estate or organisation to open and manage an account.

03Accounts and security

You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@duvane.app if you suspect any unauthorised use. Each estate is responsible for managing the roles and access it grants to its own managers, staff and residents.

04Plans and payments

Paid plans are billed in Nigerian Naira and may renew automatically for the plan period until cancelled. Payments may be made by the methods we support, which may include bank transfer, card and USSD. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. Failure to pay may lead to suspension or termination of access.

05Free trials

Where we offer a free trial, it is provided as-is and may be changed or ended at any time. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, a paid plan may begin automatically where you have provided billing details.

06Data ownership

The data an estate puts into Duvane belongs to that estate. Duvane processes it only to provide the service and as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell customer data or use resident data for advertising.

07Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the service. In particular, you must not:

  • Break the law or infringe anyone’s rights when using Duvane.
  • Upload malware, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the service or other accounts.
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or place unreasonable load on the service.
  • Resell or provide the service to third parties without our written permission.

08Availability and support

We work to keep Duvane available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Maintenance, updates or events beyond our control may cause downtime. Support is provided through the channels described on our website.

09Intellectual property

Duvane and all related software, branding and content are owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not transfer any of our intellectual property to you; we grant only a limited right to use the service while your account is active and in good standing.

10Termination

You may stop using Duvane and cancel your plan at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, overdue payments, or risks to the security of the service or its users. On termination, your right to use the service ends, and we handle your data as set out in our Privacy Policy.

11Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Duvane is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses. Our total liability arising out of or relating to the service will not exceed the fees you paid to us in the twelve (12) months before the claim.

12Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the new version here and update the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use Duvane after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

13Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Nigerian courts.
