Section 1
About these Terms.
1.1 These Website Terms of Use (the Terms) govern use of the public Avenor website at avenor.club and any associated public-facing pages operated by Avenor. They are agreed by a visitor to the website by using it.
1.2 These Terms do not govern the membership relationship between Avenor and a Member. That relationship is governed by the Membership Agreement, and applicable supplemental documents (the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Joining Terms, and the Cookie and Tracking Notice).
1.3 These Terms also do not govern use of the Avenor member portal, which is accessed through credentials issued to Members and is governed by the Membership Agreement.
1.4 These Terms are written in plain English on purpose. The substance is legally binding; the language is for clarity, not for looseness.
1.5 Version: 1.0. Date: [date of issue].
Section 2
Use of the website.
2.1 Permitted use. A visitor may use the Avenor website to read its contents, submit a membership application, contact Avenor through the published contact addresses, and access the public-facing pages of the website in the ordinary way. Avenor welcomes visitors to read about the network, share links to specific pages, and write about the brand publicly subject to the limits set out in this section.
2.2 Prohibited use. A visitor does not, without Avenor's prior written consent:
(a)scrape, harvest, mine, or otherwise extract content from the website by automated means, except for indexing by reputable search engines in the ordinary way;
(b)reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or proprietary technology underlying the website;
(c)frame, embed, or otherwise present the website's content within another website in a way that obscures Avenor's origin or implies an association that does not exist;
(d)use the website in a way that imposes an unreasonable load on its infrastructure, including any form of denial-of-service attack or sustained high-frequency requests beyond ordinary browsing;
(e)attempt to access portions of the website restricted to Members or staff without authorisation;
(f)introduce viruses, malware, or any other harmful code to the website;
(g)use the website to send unsolicited communications to Avenor, including spam directed at published contact addresses;
(h)use the website in any way that breaches applicable law.
2.3 Application form integrity. Where a visitor submits an application through the website, the visitor agrees that the information they submit is true to the best of their knowledge. Avenor relies on the information provided in reviewing the application. The submission of materially false information may give rise to refusal of the application or, where the application has been accepted, termination of the membership under clause 10.3(f) of the Membership Agreement.
2.4 No account or registration on the public website. The public Avenor website does not require visitors to create an account or register before using it. Visitors may apply for membership; the application creates a record of the applicant but does not create an account in the ordinary sense.
Section 3
Intellectual property.
3.1 Ownership. The Avenor website, including its text, images, design, and code, is the intellectual property of Avenor or its licensors. Trademarks and brand marks displayed on the website (including the name Avenor, the Avenor wordmark, and any associated marks) are the property of Avenor.
3.2 Permitted personal use. A visitor may read the website, take screenshots for personal reference, share links to specific pages on social media or in personal communications, and quote brief excerpts from the website in the ordinary way (for example, in a personal review or a journalistic piece) with attribution to Avenor.
3.3 Use requiring consent. Reproduction, modification, distribution, or commercial use of the website's content requires Avenor's prior written consent. This includes reproducing more than brief excerpts of the written content, using Avenor's photography in any context other than the personal sharing of a link, and any use that implies endorsement by Avenor of a third party.
3.4 Press and editorial use. Journalists, editors, and writers covering Avenor in good faith may use brief excerpts and a small number of images for the specific editorial purpose, with attribution. For substantial editorial use — a feature article, a book, a documentary — the appropriate path is to contact Avenor in advance through hello@avenor.club.
3.5 Member-generated content. This section does not affect a Member's rights in content they themselves create about Avenor (their own social posts, their own writing, their own photographs of their stays, subject to the discretion provisions in section 7 of the Acceptable Use Policy). Members own their own creative work; Avenor's intellectual property is in Avenor's own materials.
Section 4
Content accuracy and offers.
4.1 Best efforts at accuracy. Avenor maintains the website to the best of its ability. Information published on the website is intended to be accurate at the date of publication and is updated when material changes occur. Despite this, errors, omissions, and out-of-date information may occur from time to time.
4.2 The website is not a binding offer. Information on the public Avenor website — including descriptions of the tiers, indicative fees, descriptions of the Homes, and any other content — is for general information about the network. It does not constitute a binding offer to enter into a membership contract. The binding terms of membership are set out in the Membership Agreement and the Joining Terms specific to each Member at the time of joining.
4.3 Reliance. A visitor who is considering applying for membership should not rely solely on the website. The application process includes a conversation with Avenor, the issuance of Joining Terms specific to the applicant, and the opportunity to review the Membership Agreement before signing. These are the materials on which a reasoned decision to join should rest.
4.4 Pricing. Where prices are published on the website, they are the prices current as of the date of publication and are subject to change. Avenor reserves the right to revise published prices for new Members joining after a revision. For existing Members, fee revisions take effect only at renewal in accordance with clause 9 of the Membership Agreement.
Section 5
Links to third-party sites.
5.1 Outbound links. The Avenor website may contain links to third-party websites — for example, the website of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission referenced in the Privacy Policy. Such links are provided for the visitor's convenience.
5.2 Avenor's responsibility for third-party content. Avenor does not control the content of third-party websites and does not assume responsibility for it. The presence of a link to a third-party website does not imply endorsement of that website or its operators.
5.3 Third-party terms. A visitor who follows a link to a third-party website is subject to the terms and privacy practices of that website, not to these Terms or to Avenor's Privacy Policy.
Section 6
Limitation of liability.
6.1 No warranty as to availability. The Avenor website is provided on an "as available" basis. Avenor maintains the website to the standard reasonable for its purpose but does not guarantee that the website will be available at all times, free of errors, or free of interruptions.
6.2 No liability for ordinary website matters. Avenor is not liable to a visitor for loss arising from:
(a)the website being unavailable for a period of time;
(b)errors, omissions, or out-of-date information published on the website;
(c)loss arising from the visitor's reliance on the website's content in a way that disregards clause 4.3;
(d)loss arising from the visitor following a link to a third-party website.
6.3 Limits this section does not affect. This section does not limit Avenor's liability for:
(a)death or personal injury caused by Avenor's negligence;
(b)fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
(c)any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under Nigerian law, including provisions of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 that apply to consumer-facing websites.
6.4 Indirect or consequential loss. Avenor is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the website, including loss of profits, loss of business opportunity, or loss arising from the unavailability of the website for any period. This clause is subject to the limits in clause 6.3.
Section 7
Changes to the website and to these Terms.
7.1 Changes to the website. Avenor may add, remove, or change content on the website at any time and without notice. Avenor may redesign, restructure, or rebuild the website as part of its ordinary operation.
7.2 Changes to these Terms. Avenor may revise these Terms from time to time. Revised Terms take effect from the date they are published on the website. A visitor's continued use of the website after a revision constitutes agreement to the revised Terms.
7.3 Material changes. Where a change to these Terms is material — affecting the rights or obligations of visitors in a substantive way — Avenor will, where reasonably possible, make the change visible by means appropriate to the change (for example, by a notice on the website or by email to Members affected). A change to a Member's binding rights under the Membership Agreement is handled under section 12 of the Agreement, not by an update to these website Terms.
Section 8
Governing law and jurisdiction.
8.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
8.2 Disputes between Avenor and a visitor relating to use of the website are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Lagos State. A visitor's right to bring a claim in any court of competent jurisdiction available to them under applicable consumer-protection law is preserved.
8.3 Where the visitor is a Member, disputes relating to the membership are resolved under section 12 of the Membership Agreement, not under this clause.
