These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Renthos
("we", "us", "our", the "Platform"). By registering an account, you agree to be bound
by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.
1. About the Platform
Renthos is an online platform that helps users find houses and rentals, find roommates,
and discover and manage campus events through our CampusEvents feature (the "Services").
Renthos connects users with one another; unless stated otherwise, we are not a party to any
rental, roommate, or event arrangement made between users.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to register. You must provide accurate and current
information, including your full name, a valid email address, a valid 10-digit telephone
number, and your place / location. You may also add an optional postal address from your profile. You are responsible for keeping this information
up to date.
3. Account registration and security
You must choose a unique username and a password of at least 8 characters,
including both letters and digits.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all
activity under your account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use.
If you forget your password, you can request a reset link sent to your registered
email. The link is single-use and expires after 1 hour. Never share it with anyone.
To limit abuse, registration, login, and password-reset requests are rate-limited.
Repeated failed attempts may result in a temporary block.
For your security, sessions may time out after a period of inactivity, after which
you will need to log in again.
4. Profile updates
Certain profile fields (such as username, telephone number, and postal address) may
be subject to a cooldown period between updates. Your place / location may be updated at any
time without restriction. This limitation protects account integrity and reduces misuse
of the Platform.
5. User content and listings
You are solely responsible for any listings, roommate profiles, events, poster
images, or other content you submit ("User Content"), and you confirm it is accurate,
lawful, and that you have the right to share it.
You grant Renthos a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display and distribute
your User Content on the Platform for the purpose of providing the Services.
We may edit, reject, or remove any content that breaches these Terms or is
misleading, offensive, or unlawful.
6. CampusEvents
CampusEvents lets users discover events at their university and lets authorized users
submit and manage them. The following additional terms apply:
CampusEvents account. To use CampusEvents you must log in to
Renthos and create a separate CampusEvents account using your university, full name,
university registration or staff number, university email, and a password. You must
use your own genuine registration or staff number and must not register with another
person's details.
One-to-one link. Your CampusEvents account is linked to your
Renthos account. Once linked, it cannot be silently transferred to a different Renthos
account, and a Renthos account can have only one CampusEvents account. Keep both sets
of login details confidential.
Roles and access. Event features are tied to a university and, for
organizers, to a student organization. Some actions are limited to specific roles, such
as organization administrators and university administrators. You may only create or
manage events for your own university and organization, and you must not attempt to act
outside the permissions of your role.
Event details. When submitting an event you must provide accurate
information, including title, date, time, venue, category, organizer name, capacity,
registration deadline, and description. Event dates cannot be set in the past, and the
registration deadline cannot be after the event date.
Review and approval. Events submitted by users who are not
authorized to publish directly are held as "pending" until an authorized administrator
approves them. Approval does not mean Renthos or the university endorses, supervises,
or is responsible for the event. Authorized administrators may edit, reject, or remove
events at any time.
Official events. Events marked "official" are posted by authorized
campus administrators. All other events are organized by the listed organizer, not by
Renthos.
Organizer responsibility. Organizers are solely responsible for
running their events, for the safety of attendees, for obtaining any permissions or
licences required, and for communicating changes or cancellations. Renthos is not the
organizer of any event.
Poster images. You may upload an optional poster in JPG, PNG, or WEBP
format, up to 3MB. You must own the image or have permission to use it, and it must not
contain unlawful, offensive, or misleading content, or personal data of others without
their consent. If you replace a poster, the old image is removed from our servers.
Notifications. We send in-app notifications about events, for
example when an event is submitted, published, or awaiting review, including to
administrators who may need to approve it.
Login protection. Repeated failed CampusEvents login attempts
will temporarily block further attempts (currently 15 minutes).
Accountability. Actions such as creating and editing events are
recorded against your account for security and moderation.
7. Dealings between users
We do not guarantee the identity, intentions, or reliability of other users, or the
accuracy of listings and events. You are responsible for verifying listings, viewing
properties, confirming event details with the organizer, and exercising caution before
sharing sensitive information or making any payment. Renthos is not responsible for
disputes, losses, injuries, or damages arising from arrangements or events organized by
users.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
Provide false, misleading, or another person's information, including another
person's registration or staff number
Post fake, fraudulent, or duplicate listings or events, or attempt to scam other users
Submit events in the name of an organization or university you do not represent
Upload posters or other content that is unlawful, infringes someone's rights, or
contains malicious files
Harass, threaten, discriminate against, or abuse other users
Attempt to access another user's account or data without authorization, or exceed
the permissions of your role
Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to bypass security, CSRF protection, or
rate-limiting mechanisms
Scrape, copy, or collect other users' personal data from the Platform
Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose under the laws of Kenya
9. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or permanently ban any account that violates these Terms, engages in
fraudulent activity, or poses a risk to other users or the Platform. A banned account will
be logged out and denied further access, including to CampusEvents, and will no longer
receive event notifications. We may notify you of the reason where appropriate. You may
also stop using the Platform and request deletion of your account at any time.
10. Data protection
Our collection and use of your personal data is governed by our
Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms and is designed
to comply with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019.
11. Intellectual property
The Renthos name, logo, design, and software are owned by us and protected by law. You
may not copy, modify, or reuse them without our written permission. You retain ownership of
your own User Content.
12. Availability and limitation of liability
The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee
uninterrupted or error-free service. To the fullest extent permitted under Kenyan law,
Renthos shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising
from your use of, or inability to use, the Platform, or from dealings with other users or
attendance at events.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after
changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Material changes will
be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Kenya. Any disputes arising from these Terms
shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Kenya.
