1. Introduction
By using the Dilivar platform (“Platform”) and registering as a Dilivar driver, you agree to be bound by these Driver’s Terms and Conditions (“Terms’‘). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Platform.
The term “us” or “we” refers to Dilivar Labs and Systems LTD, a private limited company incorporated and registered under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with registration number 6913962, registered office Suite 37a Lebrex Plaza, Utako Abuja, F.C.T Nigeria.
1.1 Platform Description:
Dilivar operates as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) software through its app, facilitating the connection between users requesting logistics services (referred to as ‘Customers’) and dispatch riders. It is important to note that Dilivar itself does not directly provide the logistics services. Instead, independent dispatch riders, who may operate individually or through companies, offer these services as economic and professional service providers under agreements with you.
1.2 Data Collection:
During the installation of the Dilivar app, the customer’s mobile number is linked to the respective Dilivar Customer account and added to our database. If you are no longer using your mobile number, you must change/notify Dilivar immediately so we can anonymize your account data. If you do not notify us about any change to your mobile number, your mobile operator may issue the same mobile number to a new person who when using the Dilivar app then may have access to your data.
