Please read them carefully. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease using the Platform.[cite: 1, 2]
- Scope of Service & User Intentions
KumaShops is an online marketplace, directory, and pipeline infrastructure engineered to streamline connections between individuals and local business entities[cite: 1, 2]. The Platform organizes all user interactions into three primary, distinct pathways[cite: 1, 2]:
Post Listings: Users can advertise available property rentals (specifically focused on houses and rooms to rent) or broadcast employment vacancies[cite: 1, 2].
Offer Services: Independent contractors, tradespeople, and vendors can create professional business profiles to market their local services[cite: 1, 2].
Request Help: Consumers and members of the international diaspora can submit explicit, targeted requests for local assistance, property management, or maintenance projects[cite: 1, 2].
- Eligibility and Account Registration
To access certain features of the Platform, you may be required to register for an account[cite: 1, 2]. By registering, you agree to[cite: 1, 2]:
Be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction[cite: 1, 2].
Provide accurate, current, and complete details during the sign-up process[cite: 1, 2].
Maintain the confidentiality of your credentials and accept full responsibility for all activities occurring under your account[cite: 1, 2].

Third-Party Authentication (Meta / Facebook Login)

When utilizing third-party authentication, you authorize us to access and utilize public profile details and verified email addresses as restricted by your Meta privacy configurations and governed by our Privacy Policy[cite: 1, 2].

You retain full ownership of any text, images, listing data, or other materials you submit, upload, or process through the Platform (“User Content”)[cite: 1, 2]. However, by submitting User Content, you grant KumaShops a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, and non-exclusive license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute such content to facilitate marketplace functionality[cite: 1, 2].
You strictly agree that you will not post, upload, or distribute any User Content that[cite: 1, 2]:
Is fraudulent, deceptive, inaccurate, misleading, or malicious[cite: 1, 2].

- Automated Data Processing Pipelines
To deliver modern marketplace services, KumaShops leverages advanced backend pipelines, including webhook receivers and AI-driven data extraction models, to convert unstructured communications into formatted directory listings[cite: 1, 2]. By submitting text, messages, or listings to public forums connected to our ingest points, you recognize and agree that your data may be processed through algorithmic text extraction tools to generate searchable platform listings[cite: 1, 2]. - Specific Terms for Marketplace Interactions
A. Accommodation and Property Rentals
KumaShops acts solely as an advertising directory for houses and rooms to rent[cite: 1, 2]. We do not own, inspect, manage, or execute leases for any listed property[cite: 1, 2]. Users are solely responsible for executing independent due diligence, inspecting physical spaces, verifying landlord identity, and ensuring cross-border transactions comply with local rental regulations[cite: 1, 2].
B. Service Providers & Diaspora Projects
Our platform facilitates listings for local tradespeople (e.g., construction, electrical, transport)[cite: 1, 2]. KumaShops does not verify, certify, license, or guarantee the operational capabilities of any listed service provider[cite: 1, 2]. If you are a diaspora user coordinating remote property management or local construction, you engage independent service providers entirely at your own legal and financial risk[cite: 1, 2].
Financial Disclaimer: KumaShops does not operate as an escrow agent, financial intermediary, or payment processor[cite: 1, 2]. All monetary transactions, cash handovers, and service payments occur directly between users outside of the scope of the Platform[cite: 1, 2]. We accept no liability for financial losses, unfulfilled contracts, or transaction disputes[cite: 1, 2].
- DMCA and Intellectual Property Protection
We respect the intellectual property rights of others[cite: 1, 2]. If you believe that any material available on or through the Platform infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately submit a written notification containing detailed identification of the work and your contact details to our designated agent at info@kumashops.com[cite: 1, 2]. - Data Protection & Deletion Rights
Our collection and usage of your personal data are strictly governed by our Privacy Policy[cite: 1, 2]. In adherence to international privacy frameworks and Meta Developer App requirements, any user can initiate a complete profile erasure and data wiping process by contacting info@kumashops.com or using the automated data removal options detailed in our privacy documentation[cite: 1, 2]. - Platform Moderation and Termination
We reserve the right, without prior notice and at our absolute discretion, to terminate, suspend, or restrict your access to the Platform, or to edit, filter, or delete any User Content that violates these Terms or is otherwise deemed harmful to the integrity of the KumaShops ecosystem[cite: 1, 2]. - Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED[cite: 1, 2].

IN NO EVENT SHALL KUMASHOPS, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE PLATFORM, UNVERIFIED VENDOR PERFORMANCE, OR PROPERTY RENTAL DISPUTES[cite: 1, 2].
