1. Status of these terms
These are interim Terms of Use for the Berlvis Spaces website and controlled pilot. They are designed to reflect the current product constitution and launch architecture while a formal counsel-reviewed commercial agreement is prepared.
By using the site or participating in the pilot, you agree to follow these operating rules. If a later signed agreement or product-specific term expressly conflicts with these interim terms, the later specific agreement controls for that relationship.
2. What Berlvis Spaces is
Berlvis Spaces is a property and tenancy operating system: a system of record for the relationship between people, properties, spaces, tenancies and the financial or operational obligations those relationships create.
One person may use one account across different legitimate property relationships. A person can be a tenant in one place, an owner somewhere else and a delegated operator elsewhere. Those responsibilities are relationships, not separate account types.
Berlvis Spaces is not a property marketplace at launch, is not marketed as an AI product category, and is not a payments company with a tenancy feature attached. Payment facilitation is one service layered onto the tenancy record.
3. Pilot availability and changing features
The service is in controlled-pilot development. Some architecture exists before its public interface does, and the existence of a planned capability does not mean that capability is already generally available.
Property-manager onboarding, advanced portfolio conveniences, aggregated statements and other deferred functions may remain limited, unavailable or changed while the launch experience is validated. We will not represent a deferred feature as live simply because it exists in a design or architecture document.
4. Your account, information and authority
You must provide information you are authorised to provide and must not impersonate another person, invent a property relationship, manipulate verification evidence or claim authority you do not hold.
A selected page, role label or client-side state does not create authority. Berlvis resolves access server-side from the current relationship, resource and permissions. Access can be narrower than ownership and can be revoked without deleting the history of what happened while access was active.
Stronger identity assurance may be required for sensitive actions such as becoming an owner, initiating an ownership transfer, performing protected historical linking or exercising another permission designated by the product architecture.
5. Property, tenancy and ownership records
A property record can contain spaces, tenancies, obligations, payments, receipts, documents and historical events. These records are designed to remain connected when a manager, tenant or owner changes.
Ownership transfer changes who holds the current ownership authority; it does not rewrite prior tenancies, payments, receipts, documents or historical activity. In the ordinary co-owned transfer path, the architecture requires the primary owner to initiate the transfer and every active co-owner captured for that proposal to consent before completion.
Berlvis identity verification or property-document review is not, by itself, a guarantee of legal title, absence of dispute, physical condition, investment quality or another matter that requires independent due diligence.
6. Delegated property operation
Delegated access allows a person to help operate a property only within the scope and permissions granted to that relationship. Delegation does not silently transfer ownership, change the rent beneficiary or give access to unrelated properties.
Revoking future access does not delete attributable historical activity. If a manager or other delegated operator performed a consequential action while authorised, the record may continue to show that action after their access ends.
7. Payments, allocations and receipts
A payment is treated as one real transfer of money. Berlvis records what that transfer settles through allocations to the relevant obligation or obligations under the tenancy. A client-side status, uploaded screenshot or self-declared success state does not make a payment provider-confirmed.
A Berlvis receipt is created from confirmed payment evidence and freezes the relevant tenant, payer where known, beneficiary, property, space, tenancy and allocation context at confirmation. Later profile, KYC or ownership changes must not repaint that historical receipt.
Berlvis may record a genuine payment made outside the platform when the permitted workflow and evidence requirements are met, but an off-platform record is not represented as a provider-confirmed platform payment and must not receive a misleading verified-receipt state.
Berlvis does not operate custodial escrow of tenant funds at the MVP launch. Any future custody or escrow product requires a separate approved architecture and commercial/legal decision.
8. Corrections and historical truth
Financial facts are not edited simply because a later person wants a different history. Obligation amounts and periods, payment amounts and references, allocations and receipt evidence are treated as historical facts, with only narrow server-owned lifecycle transitions where the architecture explicitly permits them.
When a correction is required, Berlvis is designed to create an attributable correcting record rather than silently alter the original event. Derived views such as balances and overdue status may change because the underlying confirmed facts changed through an authorised event, not because history was manually repainted.
9. Acceptable use
Do not use Berlvis Spaces to submit false tenancy or ownership information, fabricate payment evidence, evade identity or access controls, abuse anonymous payment surfaces, probe or overload the service, access another person's records without authority, interfere with security controls, or use the platform to facilitate unlawful activity.
We may restrict, suspend or revoke access where reasonably necessary to protect people, money, records, platform security or legal/compliance obligations. Restricting future access does not require deletion of historical facts that the system must preserve.
10. Fees and plans
Public pricing is not yet published. These interim terms do not create a promise of an unlimited free service, a particular pilot duration, a discount, a trial period or a specific future price.
The product constitution protects individual records and notifications that let a person know the truth about their own tenancy, money or housing status from being used as hostage data for an upgrade. Future paid features are intended to sell leverage, automation and portfolio-scale capability rather than remove access to a person's own core evidence.
Any future charge that applies to a transaction or plan must be shown through the applicable product or commercial terms before you accept the charge.
11. Third-party services
Berlvis may rely on payment, identity-assurance, hosting, communication and other service providers. Their systems may be involved in confirming a payment, performing an identity check or delivering a message, but Berlvis keeps its own controlled record of the result needed by the property or tenancy system.
A provider outage, delay or rejected verification may temporarily limit a workflow. Berlvis is designed to represent those states honestly rather than invent a successful result when the provider evidence is missing.
12. No substitute for professional or independent review
Berlvis Spaces organises evidence and property relationships; it does not replace legal advice, property inspection, title investigation, tax advice, financial advice or other professional review appropriate to your situation.
Identity assurance proves only the identity state and method actually completed. Property-document review proves only the review state actually recorded. Payment confirmation proves the payment state actually confirmed. One state does not automatically prove another.
13. Service availability and liability during the pilot
The controlled pilot is being tested and may experience interruption, provider failure, maintenance or feature changes. We will use reasonable efforts to preserve record integrity and communicate material failures, but we do not promise uninterrupted availability.
Nothing in these interim terms excludes a right or responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded. A complete limitation-of-liability and dispute-resolution clause is intentionally deferred to the counsel-reviewed terms rather than invented here.
14. Nigerian operating context and replacement terms
BERLVIS SPACES LIMITED operates Berlvis Spaces in Nigeria. Mandatory rights and obligations under applicable Nigerian law continue to apply. The final governing-law, dispute-resolution, regulatory and commercial clauses will be confirmed through legal review and will replace this interim section when published.
We may update these interim terms as the controlled pilot changes. The current version and effective date will remain published on this page. Material changes will be identified before the new terms are relied on where notice or acceptance is required.
