Welcome to Donzon (“Donzon”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, mobile experiences, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, or posting any content, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
2) Eligibility & Accounts

3) Nature of the Service
Donzon is an online classifieds and listings platform where users can post and discover items and services such as motors, jobs, job-seeker profiles, property, electronics, and other classifieds. Donzon is not a party to transactions between buyers and sellers or employers and candidates, does not own or control items, does not verify users, and does not guarantee the accuracy of listings or user communications.
4) Your Listings & Content
When you post a listing, message, media, review, or other material (“User Content”):
- You represent that you have the rights to post it and that it is accurate, lawful, and not misleading.
- You remain the owner of your User Content, but you grant Donzon a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (e.g., for formatting), publicly display, distribute, and promote your User Content in connection with the Services and our marketing (including email, push, social, search, and off-platform syndication).
- You agree we may edit, re-order, moderate, refuse, or remove User Content (in whole or part) at any time for any reason, including to comply with law or our policies.

We may remove content, limit visibility, or suspend accounts that violate these rules.
6) Listing Rules & Placement
- Provide truthful, complete information (e.g., price, location, condition, attributes). Do not misrepresent items or services.
- Use the correct category and avoid duplicate or spam listings.
- Images/videos must be relevant and owned/authorized by you; no third-party watermarks unless you have rights.
- “Featured” or promoted placement may be available for a fee. Featured status increases visibility but is not an endorsement by Donzon.

7) Fees, Payments & Refunds
- Some Services (e.g., featured listings, promotional placements) may require fees, which will be shown at checkout or in your dashboard.
- Prices are shown in the applicable currency and may include taxes/charges where required. You authorize us and our payment processors to charge your selected payment method.
- Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable once the service period starts, including if you later delete a listing or your account is suspended for policy violations.
- We may change pricing or introduce new charges with notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
8) Transactions & Safety
- Users transact directly at their own risk. Donzon does not mediate, guarantee, collect, or deliver payment for buyer-seller deals, nor does it vet employers or candidates.
- Always verify the item, service, or role; meet in safe public locations; consider using reputable courier/escrow; and keep communication on platform where possible.
- Beware of phishing, impersonation, and requests for advance payments or sensitive data. Report suspicious behavior to us.
9) Messaging & Communications
- Our messaging tools are for legitimate buyer-seller or employer-candidate interactions. No spam, harassment, or off-topic promotions.
- We may, in accordance with our Privacy Policy, send you service, security, or marketing communications. You can adjust preferences where available.
10) Reviews & Ratings
- Reviews must reflect genuine experiences and comply with these Terms.
- We may moderate or remove reviews that are false, abusive, off-topic, or violate rights.

20) Changes to the Services or Terms
We may modify the Services and these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified by posting an updated version and/or reasonable notice via the Services. Changes take effect upon posting (or as stated). Your continued use after changes means you accept them.
21) General
- If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
- Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
