By accessing and using the HomeQuest website and services, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service.

2. Use License

Permission is granted to temporarily download one copy of the materials (information or software) on HomeQuest for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license you may not:

  • Modifying or copying the materials
  • Using the materials for any commercial purpose or for any public display
  • Attempting to decompile or reverse engineer any software contained on HomeQuest
  • Removing any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials
  • Transferring the materials to another person or "mirroring" the materials on any other server

3. Disclaimer

The materials on HomeQuest are provided on an 'as is' basis. HomeQuest makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaims and negates all other warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.

4. Limitations

In no event shall HomeQuest or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use the materials on HomeQuest, even if HomeQuest or a HomeQuest authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage.

5. Accuracy of Materials

The materials appearing on HomeQuest could include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. HomeQuest does not warrant that any of the materials on the website are accurate, complete, or current. HomeQuest may make changes to the materials contained on the website at any time without notice.

6. Links

HomeQuest has not reviewed all of the sites linked to the website and is not responsible for the contents of any such linked site. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by HomeQuest of the site. Use of any such linked website is at the user's own risk.

7. Modifications

HomeQuest may revise these terms of service for the website at any time without notice. By using this website, you are agreeing to be bound by the then current version of these terms of service.

8. Governing Law

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Nigeria, and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Nigeria.

9. User Responsibility and Content

Users are responsible for all content they post on HomeQuest. By posting content, you grant HomeQuest a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute such content.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to the content posted and that posting such content does not violate any laws or infringe any third-party rights. You agree not to post:

  • False or misleading information about properties
  • Content that infringes intellectual property rights
  • Hateful, abusive, or discriminatory content
  • Spam, unsolicited advertisements, or pyramid schemes

10. Property Listings and Accuracy

Property sellers and agents warrant that all information provided about properties is accurate and complete. HomeQuest does not verify property information independently. Buyers are advised to conduct due diligence and hire independent lawyers to verify property details and legal status before purchase. HomeQuest is not liable for inaccuracies in listings or disputes arising from property transactions.

11. Financial Transactions and Payments

HomeQuest acts as a platform to facilitate property transactions. Payment processes are handled through authorized third-party payment providers. We are not responsible for payment delays, failures, or disputes between buyers and sellers.

For transactions involving properties and large sums, we strongly advise using licensed lawyers and escrow services to ensure fund safety and document verification.

12. Limitation of Liability

HomeQuest shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the website or services. Our liability is limited to the amount paid by you to HomeQuest in the 12 months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability, so this may not apply to you.

For disputes arising from use of HomeQuest:

  1. You agree to attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation with the other party
  2. If unresolved, contact HomeQuest's dispute resolution team
  3. Unresolved disputes involving Nigerian parties shall be governed by Nigerian law and resolved through arbitration or courts in Nigeria
