3 Scope of Services

The following services are available to Partners depending on their tier. Nothing beyond what is defined here is implied or granted.

6 Payment Terms

6.1 Subscription Fees

Partnership access is subject to subscription fees as published on the Estate Web pricing page at the time of registration. Fees are charged on a monthly or annual billing cycle as selected by the Partner.

6.2 Billing & Payment

Payments are processed through authorised third-party payment providers (Paystack, Flutterwave). The Partner authorises Estate Web to charge the applicable fee at the start of each billing cycle.

6.3 Refund Policy

All subscription fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated in writing. Partial-period refunds will not be issued upon early termination.

6.4 Non-Payment & Suspension

Failure to pay within 7 days of the due date will result in automatic account suspension. Access will be restored upon full payment of outstanding amounts. Continued non-payment beyond 30 days may result in permanent termination and removal of all listings.

6.5 Future Revenue Models

Estate Web reserves the right to introduce Pay-Per-Lead (PPL) or commission-based pricing structures in the future. Partners will be notified with a minimum of 30 days' written notice before any such model takes effect.

7 Data Integrity & Content Ownership

7.1 Licence to Display

The Partner grants Estate Web a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, display, reproduce, and distribute their property photos, videos, descriptions, and other listing content for the purpose of operating and promoting the platform.

7.2 Data Accuracy

The Partner warrants that all listing information — including price, property status, features, and availability — is accurate at the time of posting and will be updated within 24–48 hours of any change. Failure to maintain accurate listings may result in suspension.

7.3 No Data Scraping or Resale

The Partner is strictly prohibited from scraping, harvesting, or extracting any data from the Estate Web platform, including user data, lead data, or listing data, for use outside the platform. Estate Web data may not be sold, licensed, or transferred to any third party without express written permission.

7.4 Compiled Data Ownership

The Partner owns their original listing content (photos, descriptions). Estate Web owns the compiled dataset, platform algorithms, user interface, search infrastructure, and any derived analytics.

7.5 Stale Listings

"Stale" listings — properties that have been sold, rented, or are no longer available — must be removed immediately and in any event within 48 hours of the status change. Repeated stale listings may result in account suspension without refund.

8 Intellectual Property

All platform content, design, logos, trademarks, software, and technology are owned by Estate Web or licensed to us. The Partner may not:

• Copy, reverse engineer, or replicate any part of the Estate Web platform
• Use the Estate Web name, logo, or branding without prior written approval
• Create derivative works based on Estate Web's proprietary tools or systems
• Represent themselves as affiliated with or endorsed by Estate Web beyond the scope of this agreement

For clarity: Partners may state they are "listed on Estate Web" but may not imply a deeper commercial or endorsement relationship without written permission.

9 Data Protection & Privacy

This section is governed by and should be read alongside Estate Web's full Privacy Policy. Both parties agree to comply with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019 and the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023.

The Partner agrees to:

• Handle all user data — including buyer/renter enquiries and contact details — with strict confidentiality
• Use lead data only for the purpose of responding to the specific enquiry received
• Not sell, share, or transfer user data to any third party without the user's express consent
• Not use Estate Web-sourced leads for any marketing purpose unrelated to the original enquiry
