1 Acceptance of Terms

These terms apply to the UniHouse website and related account services operated as UniHouse. By creating an account or using a service, you agree to these terms. Please contact us before paying if anything about a fee or listing is unclear.

Agreement: By using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms.

2 Our Services

UniHouse helps adults explore student accommodation and related services. Depending on availability, the website provides:

  • Accommodation listings, reservations, and contact-unlock payments
  • Messages between users and accommodation providers
  • A student marketplace and transport information or requests
  • Guides, calculators, and other informational tools

UniHouse is a platform for finding and contacting third-party providers. Unless a specific checkout says otherwise, UniHouse does not own the property or goods shown and is not a party to a rental, sale, or transport agreement between users.

3 User Eligibility

To use UniHouse services, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts
  • Provide accurate and complete information
  • Use the platform for lawful purposes only

Do not create an account or use a paid service if you are under 18. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity on your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

4 User Conduct

When using our platform, you agree not to:

  • Provide false or misleading information
  • Use the platform for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
  • Interfere with or disrupt the platform's functionality
  • Harass, abuse, or harm other users
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems
  • Post spam or unauthorized advertising

Warning: Violation of these conduct rules may result in immediate termination of your access to our services.

5 Property Listings

Listing descriptions, prices, photos, availability, and provider details can change. A verification label describes a check completed at a particular time; it is not a guarantee of current availability, legal title, physical condition, safety, or the provider's future conduct. UniHouse:

  • Does not guarantee the accuracy of all listing information
  • Is not responsible for the condition of properties
  • Does not guarantee availability of listed properties
  • Recommends users independently verify all property details

Users are encouraged to visit properties in person and conduct their own due diligence before entering into any rental agreement.

6 Payments and Refunds

Before you confirm a payment, the checkout shows the amount due in Zambian kwacha. A reservation or contact-unlock fee is a payment for access to the listed accommodation provider's contact details; it is not rent, a deposit, or a guarantee that the room will meet your needs. Any rent, deposit, or other balance payable to a provider is separate and must be checked with that provider.

Contact-unlock fees are non-refundable once the contact details have been unlocked after a successful payment. If a payment was taken but access was not provided, or you believe there was an error or unauthorized charge, contact teamunihouse@gmail.com with the transaction details so we can investigate. This rule does not limit any rights you cannot waive under applicable law.

Do not pay a provider outside the platform until you have checked the listing, the provider, and the terms of your proposed rental or purchase. Never share a mobile-money PIN or one-time code with UniHouse or a provider.

7 Marketplace and Transport

Users who post goods or offer transport must describe them honestly, keep details current, and comply with applicable law. Buyers and passengers should confirm the item or journey, price, identity, and arrangements directly with the provider before paying or travelling. UniHouse does not guarantee third-party goods, routes, arrival times, or personal safety.

Guides, calculators, and any automated answers are general information. Check important decisions against current listing details and a qualified professional where appropriate.

8 Responsibility and Liability

We aim to keep the service accurate and available, but listings and third-party services can contain errors or be interrupted. We will review reports of incorrect listings, failed unlocks, and safety concerns sent through our contact page. Users and providers remain responsible for their own statements, agreements, and conduct.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9 Intellectual Property

UniHouse's original text, graphics, logos, and software are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Other content may belong to its respective owner.

  • You may not copy, modify, or distribute our content without permission
  • You retain ownership of content you submit and allow UniHouse to display it as needed to provide the service

10 Account Restrictions

We may restrict or suspend an account when reasonably needed to protect users or the service, including for:

  • Breach of these Terms of Service
  • Fraudulent or illegal activity
  • Behavior that harms other users or our platform

Contact us if you believe a restriction was made in error.

11 Changes to Terms

We may update these terms and will publish the updated date here. If a change materially affects a paid service, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to affected users' attention. Changes apply prospectively unless the law requires otherwise.

12 Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Zambia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

13 Advertising

Some pages may display third-party advertising if advertising is enabled and approved. Please note:

  • UniHouse is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed in third-party advertisements
  • Clicking on advertisements may redirect you to external websites not operated by UniHouse
  • The inclusion of advertisements does not imply endorsement by UniHouse of any products, services, or companies advertised
