1. Introduction & Platform Purpose
Welcome to Kribb.ng. By accessing our pre-launch waitlist, platform, or services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. Kribb is a payment-protected student accommodation platform built exclusively to protect Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife students, verified property managers, and independent landlords.
2. The Kribb Safe Payment Guarantee
All property inspection bookings made through Kribb are protected under our strict Safe Payment Guarantee:
- The standard ₦1,500 inspection fee is held safely in the Kribb Protection Vault upon booking.
- Funds are never released to the agent or property owner until the student physically meets the agent on-site and voluntarily provides their confidential 4-digit check-in OTP code.
- If the agent fails to show up, cancels, or the property is inaccessible, an automatic 100% refund is credited to the student's Nigerian bank account within 24 hours with zero processing deductions.
3. Property & Agent Verification
Every listing showcased on Kribb undergoes physical on-site verification by our campus scouting team. We audit borehole water functionality, dedicated prepaid meter status, and perimeter gate security. Hosts and property owners undergo identity accreditation before publishing listings.
4. Student Conduct & Roommate Matching
Students using the roommate matching portal must provide accurate information regarding their faculty, level, and lifestyle preferences. Any attempt to solicit unverified side-payments, bypass payment protection, or harass coursemates will lead to immediate account termination and reporting to campus authorities.
5. Modifications to Terms
Kribb reserves the right to modify these terms as platform features expand. Continued participation in our priority waitlist constitutes acceptance of any updated terms.
