Legal and Policy Overview
Our legal and financial policies are designed to protect global capital and ensure absolute transparency for all property transactions. Below, you’ll find clear guidelines on liability, currency handling, and our success fee structure.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & INDEMNITY
1.1 DealPantry Africa Ltd is a property due diligence management firm. All legal title searches, court registry reviews, and technical coordinate charting are executed strictly by our independent, licensed professional partners—including active members of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the Surveyors Council of Nigeria (SURCON). DealPantry Africa Ltd, its directors, and employees provide final verification reports based entirely on the expert findings delivered by these certified partners, official public land registries, and physical site conditions observed at the exact time of the search. 1.2 The Client acknowledges that government land registry databases, court records, and zoning master plans may contain errors, omissions, or delays in updates. DealPantry Africa Ltd is completely independent and does not guarantee the absolute infallibility of third-party public or private records. 1.3 DealPantry Africa Ltd shall not be held liable for any future government policy changes, retrofitted infrastructure expansions, or undisclosed communal or family land ownership disputes that were hidden or unavailable in public records during our investigation. 1.4 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total financial liability of DealPantry Africa Ltd to any Client for any claim, error, omission, or negligence shall be strictly capped at and limited to the exact amount paid by the Client to the Agency for that specific verification service. The Agency is not liable for any lost purchase capital or secondary investment damages..
INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY & EXCHANGE RATE POLICY
2.1 To safeguard international real estate transactions against local currency volatility, hyperinflation, and market fluctuations, all service fees and asset evaluations for clients residing outside the Federal Republic of Nigeria are fundamentally benchmarked against the United States Dollar ($) or British Pound Sterling (£). 2.2 Payments made in local Nigerian Naira (₦) will be calculated and processed using the prevailing bank-approved market exchange rate on the exact business day the digital invoice is issued. 2.3 DealPantry Africa Ltd is not responsible for any international wire transfer delays, intermediate bank processing charges, or exchange rate drops that occur while funds are in transit from overseas accounts. 2.4 In the event of a payment plan for a curated property listing, the Client agrees that the final payment values may be adjusted to reflect currency parity changes to protect both the buyer’s investment value and the developer's building margins.
ENFORCEABLE SUCCESS FEE & ANTI-CIRCUMVENTION
3.1 By accessing our curated "Pantry" listings, downloading property summaries, or using our property verification systems, the Client explicitly agrees to pay a professional Success Fee of [4% - 5%] of the total asset purchase value upon closing a transaction. 3.2 This Success Fee covers corporate project management, transaction security coordination, legal documentation processing assistance (Deed of Assignment preparation), and final property handover management. 3.3 The Client strictly agrees not to bypass, circumvent, or directly negotiate with any real estate developer, land owner, or local agent introduced by DealPantry Africa Ltd in an attempt to avoid paying the required Success Fee. 3.4 If the Client, or any proxy, business partner, family member, or affiliate acting on behalf of the Client, purchases a property introduced or audited by DealPantry Africa Ltd within twelve (12) months of the initial introduction, the Client becomes immediately and legally liable to pay the full Success Fee to the Agency. Any breach of this article will be fully prosecuted under the governing laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
