Terms and Conditions

1. About These Terms

These Terms govern your use of Dealcova at dealcova.com and associated applications. Dealcova provides deal coordination and accountability technology. It is not a bank or payment processor and does not hold user funds. Squad independently provides the transaction accounts and payment services used in the deal flow, and Prembly provides BVN matching.

2. Eligibility

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• You must be legally able to enter contracts.
• You must complete identity verification before using restricted deal features.
• You must not use the platform for unlawful activity.

3. Identity Verification

Verification is mandatory before initiating, accepting, funding, or participating in deals. Verification checks include BVN, full name, date of birth (DOB), phone number, and gender matching through Prembly.

4. How Dealcova Works

Step 1 — Deal creation

The seller creates an item or deal code, and the buyer initiates a tracked deal with agreed terms.

Step 2 — Seller acceptance

The seller reviews and accepts the recorded transaction terms.

Step 3 — Provider instructions

The buyer follows the Squad-provided transaction instructions shown for the deal. Dealcova records the provider-reported status alongside the agreed terms. Any applicable platform fee and required transfer total are shown before confirmation.

Step 4 — Milestones

As delivery progresses, proof is uploaded and reviewed. Dealcova records milestone confirmations and communicates the corresponding outcome instruction through the system connection to Squad.

Step 5 — Completion

Once all milestones are complete and confirmed, the deal closes and the final outcome is added to the Dealcova record.

5. Prohibited Conduct

• No fraud, false proof, or bad-faith disputes.
• No illegal goods or services, or money laundering activity.
• No harassment, impersonation, or platform abuse.

6. Disputes

If a dispute is raised after the deal becomes active and before completion, deal activity pauses and the available evidence is reviewed using the dispute audit trail.

The review outcome determines the next transaction instruction communicated through the system connection to Squad. Decisions are binding under these Terms, subject to applicable law. No specific outcome is guaranteed.

7. Fees and Payments

A platform fee of 0.7% of the item deal value applies. The fee and the Squad-provided transfer total are shown before you confirm. Squad independently provides transaction accounts and payment services; Dealcova does not receive or hold user funds in its own account.

8. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any dispute not resolved through the platform process will be handled by a court of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria, subject to applicable law.

9. Platform Scope

Only a transaction created and recorded as a Dealcova deal can use the platform's progress record, evidence log, and dispute process. Agreements, transfers, deliveries, or settlements carried out outside a Dealcova deal are outside the platform record and cannot be monitored or resolved through Dealcova.
