Terms of Service

LagosLandCheck ("we," "us," "our," or "the Service") is an online pre-screening intelligence service for property in Lagos State, Nigeria. We are accessible at lagoslandcheck.com. The Service is operated from Lagos, Nigeria. We are presently an unincorporated business operated by an individual. Once registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria, this section will be updated with our registration number and corporate name. For all communications regarding these Terms or any other matter, contact us at support@lagoslandcheck.com.

LagosLandCheck runs six automated checks on Lagos coordinates you submit: (a) Satellite imagery analysis using publicly available Google Maps Static API images combined with GPT-4o visual analysis; (b) Lagos State Gazette and government acquisition lookup; (c) Flood and drainage risk assessment based on Lagos State flood maps; (d) Court litigation search across published Lagos State Judiciary cause lists; (e) Land Use Charge status lookup; (f) Fraud zone and Omo Onile alert database lookup. The output of these checks is delivered as a PDF report and email summary, priced at ₦2,500 per coordinate. CRITICAL: This Service is pre-screening intelligence ONLY. It is NOT: • Legal advice • A formal Land Registry title search • A substitute for engaging a licensed Nigerian property lawyer • A guarantee of clean title, free passage, or any other property right • A surveyor's report or boundary verification • A government-issued certificate of any kind You agree that you will engage a licensed Nigerian property lawyer to conduct a full Land Registry search before completing any property transaction, regardless of the findings in any report generated by this Service.

Our checks rely on publicly available data sources, satellite imagery, and automated analysis. We make every reasonable effort to ensure accuracy, but you acknowledge: (a) Public registries (gazettes, court cause lists, LUC records) may be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate at source. We cannot verify or correct source data. (b) Satellite imagery is captured by third parties and may be days, weeks, or months old. Visible features in imagery may have changed since capture. (c) Our AI-based satellite analysis (GPT-4o) is a probabilistic tool. While generally accurate for identifying buildings vs vacant land, it can make errors — especially on ambiguous imagery, areas with heavy tree cover, or recently developed sites. (d) A "CLEAR" result on any check does NOT mean no issue exists. It means no issue was detected by our automated systems. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. (e) A "CAUTION" or "HIGH RISK" result is a prompt for further investigation, not a definitive judgment. Always consult a lawyer. You agree to use the Service's output as a starting point for due diligence, never as a final determination.

When using the Service, you agree to: (a) Submit only coordinates and addresses you have a lawful interest in verifying (e.g. property you are considering buying, properties on which you are advising as a lawyer or estate agent). (b) Not use the Service for stalking, harassment, surveillance of private individuals, or any other unlawful purpose. (c) Not attempt to scrape, automate, reverse engineer, or otherwise abuse the Service. (d) Not resell or redistribute reports without our written permission. Reports are licensed to you for personal due diligence on the specific property checked. (e) Provide accurate email and contact information when required for report delivery. (f) Not impersonate any person or entity when contacting us or using the Service. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any user who violates these obligations.

Standard verification reports cost ₦2,500 NGN per coordinate. Prices are displayed in Nigerian Naira (₦). We may change prices from time to time; the price displayed at the time of payment is the price you will be charged. All payments are processed by Paystack (paystack.com), a licensed Nigerian payment processor. We do not store, transmit, or have access to your card details — these are handled entirely by Paystack under their security standards. Payment is a one-time charge. There are no recurring fees, subscriptions, or hidden charges. If you see unexpected charges on your statement, contact Paystack support immediately. Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy at lagoslandcheck.com/refund-policy.

(b) Reports generated by the Service are licensed to you for personal use in due diligence for the specific property checked.
