If you have any objection to the terms of service stated on this page, you are advised to contact us using the link provided. All references within these Terms and Conditions to 'we/us/our' refer to De Duke.
Effective Date: 1st …………………., 2025.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of De Duke Real Estate ("the Application"), a real estate platform that facilitates swift, smooth, and genuine property transactions between property owners and potential purchasers. By using our services, you agree to abide by these Terms. By using the Application, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Application. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and De-Duke Real Estate App (“De-Duke,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms govern your access to and use of the De-Duke websites, mobile applications, and any related digital platforms or services (collectively referred to as the “De-Duke Platform”). The De-Duke Platform enables registered users (“Members”) to publish, search for, and engage in real estate-related opportunities and services. Members who post or advertise properties, construction services, or property-related services are referred to as Property Providers or Service Providers, while Members who search for, rent, purchase, or engage such services are referred to as Users, Tenants, Buyers, or Clients. Through the De-Duke Platform, Property Providers may list residential or commercial properties for sale, lease, or short-term use (“Properties”). Service Providers may also advertise property-related services, including but not limited to property maintenance, construction services, plumbing, electrical work, cleaning, gardening, building supplies, and other real estate support services (collectively referred to as “Platform Services”). Each published offer is referred to as a “Listing.” De-Duke provides a digital marketplace that facilitates connections between Members. However, De-Duke does not own, manage, sell, lease, or control any property or service listed on the platform. The platform merely enables Members to interact and transact directly with one another. Accordingly, De-Duke is not a real estate broker, agent, developer, contractor, or property manager, and is not a party to any agreements or transactions entered into between Members. Any contractual arrangement, negotiation, or agreement made through the platform is solely between the Members involved. Except where expressly stated in applicable payment or platform policies, De-Duke does not act as an agent or representative for any Member and assumes no responsibility for the performance, quality, legality, or completion of any Listing or service offered on the platform.
De-Duke Real Estate App User Terms for Searching, Booking, and Engaging Services 1.Searching for Properties and Services on the De-Duke Platform 1.1 Property and Service Search Users of the De-Duke Platform may search for properties, real estate opportunities, or property-related services using criteria such as property type, location, price range, availability, duration of lease, or type of service required. Users may also refine their search through filters designed to help identify suitable listings. Search results may be displayed based on factors including relevance to the user’s search request, listing price, property availability, user reviews, verification status, reliability of the provider, previous user interactions with listings, popularity of listings, and any requirements specified by the property owner or service provider. 1.2. Property Inquiries and Bookings When a user proceeds to request, reserve, or book a listing through the De-Duke Platform, the user agrees to pay all applicable charges connected with the transaction. These may include the property price, service charges, platform fees, applicable taxes, and any additional costs disclosed during the booking or transaction process (collectively referred to as the Total Transaction Cost). Where payment is made using a currency different from the currency listed for the property or service, the amount displayed to the user may reflect a currency conversion determined by the platform or the payment provider. Upon confirmation of a booking or reservation, a direct contractual relationship is established between the user and the property owner, landlord, seller, or service provider. De-Duke merely facilitates the connection between parties and does not become a party to the transaction. Users agree to comply with all terms associated with the booking, including the listing details, cancellation policies, house rules, property requirements, and any additional conditions provided by the property owner or service provider. Users are responsible for reviewing and understanding all listing terms before confirming a reservation or entering into any agreement. 1.3 Property Reservations A confirmed reservation for a property grants the user limited permission to access, occupy, or inspect the property, subject to the agreement between the user and the property owner or landlord. The property owner retains the right to access the property during the user’s occupancy where reasonably necessary, permitted under the agreement between the parties, and allowed under applicable law. Users must respect agreed check-in and check-out times. If a user remains beyond the agreed period without authorization, the property owner may request that the user vacate the property and may apply reasonable penalties where permitted by law. Users must also ensure that the number of occupants does not exceed the maximum number permitted in the listing. 1.4 . Service Reservations The De-Duke Platform may also facilitate bookings for property-related services such as cleaning, electrical repairs, plumbing services, building maintenance, construction support, landscaping, or other real estate support services. When a user books such services, the user obtains the right to receive or participate in the agreed service under the terms specified by the service provider. Users must ensure that they meet any requirements specified by the provider and must disclose any information that may affect the delivery of the service. Unless otherwise authorized, users may not allow additional persons to participate in or benefit from a booked service unless they were included during the booking process.
Account Registration and Verification Users must register with valid and verifiable information. The Platform reserves the right to verify any account through the submission of relevant identification or ownership documents. Accounts that remain unverified may be restricted, and users bear full responsibility for any loss or harm arising from interactions with unverified accounts. The Platform bears no liability for transactions involving unverified users or listings.
Property Verification 3.1. Verified Properties Property Owners may pay for an official property verification service conducted by the Application. Once verified, a property is certified as legally valid and free from ownership or title disputes. Verified properties will be marked with a "Verified" badge, indicating completion of due diligence checks by the Platform and that Clients can proceed with confidence. The Application guarantees the accuracy of verified property status, ensuring no legal issues arise from a verified property. Users acknowledge that unverified listings are not confirmed by the Platform, and any risks arising from such listings are borne solely by the user. The Platform shall not be held liable for losses, fraud, or disputes arising from unverified listings.
Unverified Properties Property Owners may list properties without verification, but such properties will be marked as "Unverified". Clients who transact on unverified properties do so at their own risk, and the Application bears no liability for such transactions. Clients are encouraged to conduct independent due diligence before committing to any unverified property.
Landlord Earnings and Listing Model 5.1 Free Property Listings Listing properties on the De-Duke App shall be one hundred percent (100%) free of charge for landlords, property owners,and authorized representatives. 5.2. Owner-Controlled Listings Property owners shall retain full control over the upload, management, modification, and removal of their property listings, subject always to compliance with De-Duke’s verification standards, content rules, and applicable laws.
Mandatory In-App Transactions: All rental and accommodation transactions, including but not limited to hotels, hostels, serviced apartments, and residential rentals, shall be completed exclusively within the De-Duke App. This requirement ensures: a) Transparency of transactions. b) Automated and auditable transaction records; and c) Secure revenue tracking and payment processing. Transactions conducted outside the Platform may not benefit from De-Duke’s protections, guarantees, or dispute-resolution mechanisms.
Property Sales Transactions (Hybrid Digital–Physical Model) 7.1 Verification Requirement All property sales transactions initiated on the Platform shall be subject to mandatory verification, including: a) Digital verification; and b) Physical, in-person verification conducted by De-Duke or its duly authorized representatives. 7.2 Completion of Sales Transactions No property sale shall be deemed completed on the Platform unless finalized: a) At a designated De-Duke office,or b) Through authorized De-Duke field agents, and only after the following conditions are satisfied: i.

Completion of the transfer process in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 7.3 Legal and Protective Framework This dual system approach is designed to: a) Protect buyers against fraud and misrepresentation. b) Assure property owners of secure and verified payments; and c) Position De-Duke as both a digital marketplace and a trusted legal and transactional intermediary in property sales.
Cancellations, Transaction Issues, Refunds, and Modification 8.1.Cancellations and Refunds If a user cancels a confirmed reservation, any refund issued will generally be determined according to the cancellation policy established by the property owner or service provider. However, certain circumstances—such as unforeseen disruptions, property misrepresentation, or failure of the provider to deliver the agreed service—may qualify the user for rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund in accordance with applicable De-Duke policies. Users may contact De-Duke customer support to request assistance or appeal a decision relating to cancellations, refunds, or booking disputes. 8.2. Booking Changes Both users and property owners or service providers are responsible for any agreed changes to an existing reservation, including adjustments to dates, services, or pricing. Any additional fees, taxes, or charges resulting from such modifications must be paid by the parties as agreed during the modification process.
User Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk 9.1User Responsibilities Users are responsible for their own conduct while using the De-Duke Platform and during any interaction with property owners, landlords, tenants, buyers, or service providers. Users are also responsible for the conduct of any individual they invite or permit to access a property, facility, or service associated with a listing. For example, users must: a) Leave any property in a condition reasonably similar to how it was received. b) Pay for any damages caused to the property or facilities. c) Respect property rules and treat all parties with professionalism and courtesy. d) Comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Where a user makes a reservation on behalf of additional persons, the user must ensure those persons comply with the platform’s terms, listing requirements, and applicable property rules. If minors are involved in a booking or visit, the user must be legally authorized to act on their behalf and is solely responsible for their supervision. 9.2. Assumption of Risk Users acknowledge that property transactions, construction-related activities, inspections, and certain real estate services may involve risks. By using the De-Duke Platform and engaging with listings or services, users agree that they assume responsibility for evaluating whether a property, transaction, or service is appropriate for their needs. To the maximum extent permitted by law, De-Duke shall not be liable for any injury, loss, damages, or disputes arising from interactions between users, property owners, or service providers, whether such interactions occur online or in person.
Cancellations, Transaction Issues, and Booking Changes 10.1. Cancellations and Transaction Issues In most cases, if a tenant, buyer, or user cancels a reservation, property inquiry, or service request, the amount payable to the property owner or service provider will be determined by the cancellation terms specified in the listing. Property owners or service providers should not cancel a confirmed reservation or engagement without a valid and reasonable cause, such as circumstances beyond their control or situations permitted by applicable law or platform policy. If a provider cancels a confirmed reservation without a valid justification, the De-Duke Platform may impose penalties or administrative consequences, which may include service fees, reduced listing visibility, or other platform restrictions. Where a user experiences a listing issue, misrepresentation of a property or service, or a significant disruptive event affecting the transaction, the platform may facilitate refunds, rebooking assistance, or dispute resolution in accordance with applicable De-Duke policies. If refunds are issued to users after a provider has already received payment, De-Duke may recover the refunded amount from the provider, including by deducting such amounts from future payouts or platform earnings. In certain cases, the platform may delay the release of funds related to a reservation or transaction until the matter has been reviewed and resolved.
10.2 Transaction or Booking Modifications Both providers and users are responsible for any changes or modifications made to a confirmed booking or transaction, including adjustments to dates, pricing, services, or property details. Any additional charges, taxes, or fees arising from these modifications must be agreed upon and paid by the relevant parties before the modification takes effect.
General Platform Terms 12. Reviews and Ratings After completing a property transaction, rental engagement, or service engagement, both users and providers may have the opportunity to review and rate each other. Reviews must be honest, respectful, and based on genuine experiences. Content that is discriminatory, abusive, misleading, defamatory, or otherwise violates applicable laws or platform policies is strictly prohibited. Reviews published on the platform are not independently verified by De-Duke and may reflect the personal opinions of users.
