SECTION 1: LEGAL INTRODUCTION & CONTRACTUAL ACCEPTANCE

1.1 Legal Identity and Notice
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the services offered by Kibanda Express Ltd, a private company registered under the laws of the Republic of Kenya, with its principal office located at Benmark Complex, Athi River, Machakos County.
Kibanda Express Ltd (“Kibanda”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates a multi-service digital platform designed to facilitate the ordering, fulfillment, and delivery of goods and services within residential estates and approved service zones.
The Platform is accessed through our mobile app and official website, and includes grocery delivery, cooked meals, errands, pharmacy, transport bookings, and parcel services.

1.2 Nature of the Platform
Kibanda is a technology-based coordination service that connects independent vendors, riders, drivers, and agents with users (“Users” or “Customers”) in need of fast, reliable estate-level services. Kibanda does not manufacture, cook, sell, prescribe, or transport goods directly.

  • Delivery within 30–60 minutes for orders above KES 50, fulfilled by estate-based riders using bicycles
  • An optional VIP Plan (KES 500/month) for customers seeking priority treatment and fast delivery windows

Kibanda is not responsible for vendor stock, pricing, freshness, or late deliveries caused by external factors (e.g., traffic, estate access, weather).

1.3 Binding Agreement and Consent
By accessing, registering on, or using the Kibanda Platform, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. Your continued use of any service module — including placing orders, sending errands, receiving deliveries, or creating an account — signifies ongoing acceptance of the latest Terms.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.
Use of the Platform on behalf of another party (e.g., child, employer, relative) confirms that you have the legal authority to bind them to these Terms.

1.4 Amendments and Right of Modification
Kibanda reserves the right to modify, revise, or replace these Terms at any time. All changes will be effective upon posting to the Platform or sending notice via email, SMS, or in-app notification.
Users are expected to review Terms regularly. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes full acceptance of the revised Terms.

1.5 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Kenya. Any dispute arising shall be:
1. First resolved through Kibanda’s internal support and dispute resolution system;
2. If unresolved, escalated to binding arbitration under the rules of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators – Kenya Chapter (CIArb Kenya);
3. Where necessary, submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commercial Division of the High Court of Kenya at Machakos.
No provision of these Terms waives or reduces any statutory consumer protection right that cannot be lawfully excluded.
