Terms of Service

Last updated 1 September 2026

1. Who we are

Reside2Gether is operated by Golden Coterie Limited ("we", "us"). These terms govern your use of the Reside2Gether website and mobile apps (the "Service").

2. What the Service is, and is not

The Service is a verified accommodation-sharing marketplace. We verify identity and proof of occupancy, provide matching and messaging, and record House Agreements between users. We are not a party to any tenancy, sub-tenancy or licence created between users, we are not an estate agent, and we do not hold rent or deposits between users.

3. Eligibility and verification

You must be at least 18 and complete identity verification (NIN or another accepted government ID, with a liveness selfie) before you can message anyone or publish a listing. Students may additionally verify with a valid student ID for hostel sharing. You agree that the name returned by the ID authority is your authoritative name on the Service.

4. Your responsibilities

You will only list a space you lawfully occupy, provide accurate information, keep conversations and payments related to a share inside the Service, and never request or pay money before a viewing. You will not harass, discriminate against, or defraud other users.

5. Paid features

Premium subscriptions and listing boosts are billed through Paystack. Failed renewals are retried for 7 days, then your account is downgraded and listings above the free limit are paused, never deleted. Refunds are handled by our Finance team on request.

6. Reports, suspension and termination

We may suspend or permanently ban accounts for fraud, harassment, fake listings, or verification failures. Substantiated fraud results in immediate suspension. You can delete your account at any time; deletion takes effect after a 14-day grace period.

7. Liability

Viewings, agreements and cohabitation are decisions between users. To the maximum extent permitted by Nigerian law, we are not liable for disputes between users, for the condition of any property, or for losses arising from arrangements made outside the Service.

8. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes are announced in-app at least 14 days before they take effect.
