Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of diuscadi.org.ng and the DIUSCADI platform, operated by DIUSCADI (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the platform, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the platform. See also our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your data.

DIUSCADI is built for students and graduates. You're responsible for the accuracy of the information on your account and for keeping your password confidential. You're responsible for all activity under your account, so tell us right away if you suspect unauthorized access.

You can create or sign in to your account using Google. Doing so is also subject to Google's own terms and privacy policy for your Google Account. If an email you sign in with matches an existing DIUSCADI account, we'll ask you to confirm by email before linking the two, so your existing account stays protected.

You agree not to:

• Provide false information when registering or verifying your account.
• Use the platform for anything unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful to others.
• Attempt to bypass ticket limits, payment flows, or security controls.
• Resell tickets outside the platform in a way that violates an event's stated terms.
• Scrape, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the platform's normal operation.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with any organization.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

DIUSCADI lets you discover and register for events listed by hosts, which may be free or paid. Registering for an event does not guarantee entry if the event is cancelled, oversold in error, or changed by the host — in those cases, see the refund terms below. Event details (date, time, location, price) are set by the host; we do our best to keep listings accurate but hosts are responsible for their own events.

Paid tickets are processed through Paystack. By completing a purchase, you authorize that charge. Ticket prices, currency, and any host-specific refund policy are shown at checkout before you pay.

If an event is cancelled by its host or by us (for example, a rogue or policy-violating listing taken down), affected ticket-holders are entitled to a refund of the ticket price paid. Outside of cancellation, refunds are at the discretion of the event's host unless the event listing states otherwise. Processing fees charged by Paystack, where non-refundable at the processor level, may not be recoverable.

If you're approved as a host, you can create and manage your own paid or free events. Hosts are responsible for the accuracy of their listings, for delivering the event as described, and for complying with applicable law (including any permits or licenses an in-person event may require).

For paid events, DIUSCADI retains a commission on ticket sales (shown to the host before publishing), and the remaining balance is paid out to the host's registered bank account on the schedule shown in the host dashboard. We reserve the right to suspend a listing or a host's access to new payouts while investigating a dispute, a refund request, or a suspected policy violation.

DIUSCADI's Super Admin team may remove an event that violates these Terms, misrepresents itself, or poses a safety or legal risk, and may withhold or reverse a payout tied to that event pending investigation.

You keep ownership of the content you post (event descriptions, images, profile information), but by posting it on DIUSCADI you grant us a license to display it as part of operating the platform. The DIUSCADI name, logo, and platform design are owned by us and may not be used without permission.

We may suspend or terminate your account for violating these Terms, for fraud or abuse, or if required by law. You may stop using the platform and request account deletion at any time by contacting us (see how we handle your data).

The platform is provided “as is”. We don't guarantee that events listed by third-party hosts will meet your expectations, and we're not a party to the relationship between you and an event host beyond processing your registration and payment. We don't guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DIUSCADI is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform, including losses caused by an event host's own actions, cancellations, or changes. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

We may update these Terms as the platform changes. We'll update the “Last updated” date above, and for significant changes, we'll let you know by email or an in-app notice. Continuing to use DIUSCADI after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
