Important notice
This Disclaimer applies to information and functionality made available through Dawat’s website, application, platform, documentation, whitepaper, social channels, demonstrations, pilot programs, and related communications.
It should be read together with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Corporate and Legal Information.
Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes, limits, or waives any right, remedy, warranty, duty, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable Philippine law.
1. General information only
Information published by Dawat Technologies Inc., referred to as “Dawat,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” is provided for general informational, educational, operational, and promotional purposes.
Dawat content does not constitute personalized legal, financial, investment, accounting, tax, medical, insurance, cybersecurity, transportation, engineering, agricultural, or other professional advice.
Users should obtain independent professional advice before making decisions involving material financial, legal, commercial, health, safety, regulatory, or technical consequences.
Although Dawat may attempt to keep information accurate and current, content may contain errors, omissions, outdated details, estimates, beta functionality, or information supplied by third parties.
2. Early-stage platform and feature availability
Dawat is developing a multi-service technology platform intended to support communities beginning in Ifugao and potentially other locations.
Features shown through prototypes, screenshots, whitepapers, roadmaps, demonstrations, registration pages, dashboards, or promotional materials may be experimental, incomplete, unavailable, subject to testing, awaiting partnerships, undergoing regulatory review, or planned for a future release.
Dawat does not guarantee that a proposed feature will be launched, remain available, operate in a particular location, support a particular payment method, or function exactly as previously described.
Features may be modified, delayed, restricted, suspended, or discontinued because of safety requirements, operational limits, legal review, financing, demand, partner availability, technical constraints, or regulatory developments.
3. Technology-platform role
Dawat may provide technology that helps users discover, request, arrange, offer, communicate about, review, or pay for goods and services supplied by independent third parties.
Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, Dawat is not the direct manufacturer, seller, restaurant, transportation carrier, logistics operator, accommodation owner, landlord, professional contractor, employer, insurer, bank, lender, remittance company, electronic-money issuer, or investment adviser involved in a third-party transaction.
This intermediary role does not prevent Dawat from setting platform standards, conducting reasonable verification, responding to complaints, removing listings, imposing safety controls, or enforcing provider agreements.
It also does not remove any responsibility that applicable law places directly on Dawat based on its actual role, conduct, or control over a particular service.
4. Independent providers and user conduct
Merchants, sellers, drivers, couriers, hosts, property providers, farmers, guides, professionals, repair workers, and other service providers may operate independently from Dawat.
Independent providers are responsible for their qualifications, licenses, permits, registrations, insurance, taxes, products, services, equipment, vehicles, properties, personnel, conduct, safety practices, and compliance obligations.
Account verification, document collection, screening, ratings, or platform approval does not guarantee a provider’s identity, honesty, competence, legal compliance, financial condition, reliability, safety, or future behavior.
Users must exercise reasonable judgment, review transaction details, follow safety guidance, and report suspicious, misleading, illegal, or unsafe conduct.
5. Marketplace and product risks
Marketplace listings may be created or supplied by independent merchants. Dawat may not physically inspect, test, manufacture, prepare, package, store, certify, or independently verify every product before it is listed or delivered.
Merchants remain responsible for lawful inventory, authenticity, product condition, accurate descriptions, prices, labeling, expiration information, ingredients, allergens, food safety, sanitation, storage, packaging, warranties, taxes, permits, and consumer disclosures.
Users should review product descriptions, seller information, ingredients, warnings, storage requirements, return conditions, and suitability before purchase or consumption.
Food, agricultural products, herbal preparations, cosmetics, medicine, supplements, chemicals, and other regulated or health-sensitive goods may carry additional risks and legal requirements.
Dawat may remove a listing, restrict a merchant, assist with a complaint, or facilitate a refund where appropriate, but such action does not constitute a guarantee that every marketplace dispute will be resolved in a user’s favor.
6. Food, allergy and health disclosures
Food and beverage information may be entered by independent merchants and may be incomplete, inaccurate, changed without notice, or affected by preparation practices and ingredient substitutions.
Dawat cannot guarantee that a meal, ingredient, kitchen, package, vehicle, or preparation area is free from allergens, cross-contamination, spoilage, pathogens, or substances that may affect a particular user.
Users with allergies, intolerances, medical conditions, dietary restrictions, or religious requirements should contact the merchant directly and exercise independent judgment before ordering or consuming an item.
Herbal products, traditional preparations, agricultural products, wellness listings, and user-generated health claims should not be treated as medical advice or as substitutes for licensed healthcare.
7. Transportation and delivery risks
Road transportation, passenger travel, tourism transport, delivery, courier work, loading, unloading, and physical logistics involve inherent risks.
Risks may include traffic accidents, personal injury, death, property damage, theft, loss, delay, road closure, landslide, flooding, severe weather, mechanical failure, communications failure, route errors, and unsafe conduct by third parties.
Drivers and couriers are responsible for valid licenses, registrations, permits, franchises where required, lawful operation, roadworthiness, insurance obligations, cargo limits, passenger safety, and compliance with applicable transportation rules.
Users must follow reasonable safety precautions, wear required protective equipment, avoid prohibited cargo, provide accurate pickup and destination details, and refuse a service where the vehicle or circumstances appear unsafe.
Estimated fares, routes, travel times, arrival times, and delivery times are not guarantees. Actual results may vary because of road, demand, weather, distance, provider, network, and safety conditions.
Nothing in this section excludes liability that Dawat may have under applicable law for its own negligence, willful misconduct, statutory obligations, or other legally non-excludable conduct.
8. Accommodation, tourism and property risks
Accommodation, transient, tourism, rental, and property listings may be supplied by independent hosts, guides, operators, agents, or property providers.
Dawat does not automatically guarantee property ownership, authority to lease, title condition, zoning, legal status, habitability, accessibility, security, sanitation, permit status, investment value, or the accuracy of every listing.
Users should independently review location, access, pricing, capacity, rules, cancellation terms, safety features, permits, reviews, and identity requirements before booking or paying.
Mountain travel, hiking, tourism, remote-area accommodation, and rural activities may involve terrain, weather, transport, communications, wildlife, medical-access, and emergency-response risks.
9. Professional and repair services
Directory, repair, employment, professional, and local-service listings may be supplied by independent persons or businesses.
Dawat does not guarantee that a listed provider holds every license, qualification, insurance policy, certification, permit, or level of experience required for a particular task.
Users should independently verify qualifications, quotations, references, warranties, scope of work, materials, timelines, and legal requirements before engaging a provider.
High-risk electrical, structural, medical, legal, financial, engineering, construction, and similar work should be performed only by appropriately qualified and licensed professionals.
10. Payment-service disclosures
Dawat may integrate payment methods supplied by independent banks, electronic-wallet providers, payment gateways, card networks, remittance partners, or other authorized providers.
Dawat does not represent itself as a bank, electronic-money issuer, remittance company, operator of a payment system, or other licensed financial institution unless the applicable authorization has been obtained and publicly confirmed.
Payment authorization, account limits, identity verification, settlement, refunds, reversals, chargebacks, fees, outages, and account restrictions may be controlled by the relevant payment provider.
Displaying the name or proposed integration of a payment provider does not necessarily mean that the integration is active, approved, commercially available, or endorsed by that provider.
Users should verify the recipient, amount, payment method, fees, and transaction details before confirming payment.
11. No financial or investment advice
Nothing published by Dawat constitutes financial, investment, securities, asset-management, trading, tax, or legal advice.
References to rewards, points, tokens, digital assets, wallets, blockchain networks, community funding, staking concepts, token utility, liquidity, or future integrations are informational and may describe proposed or experimental functionality.
No statement should be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, stake, lend, exchange, or otherwise transact in a digital asset.
Dawat does not guarantee profit, price appreciation, liquidity, market demand, exchange listing, merchant acceptance, yield, rewards, token availability, or continued utility.
Users should obtain independent legal, tax, and financial advice and assess their own financial circumstances and risk tolerance.
12. Digital-asset regulatory status
The legal and regulatory treatment of a token or digital-asset activity depends on its design, distribution, marketing, functionality, custody model, transaction structure, and applicable law.
Dawat does not rely on the label “utility token” as a guarantee that a digital asset is outside securities, payment, virtual-asset, anti-money-laundering, tax, consumer-protection, or other regulatory requirements.
No public token sale, investment solicitation, guaranteed-return program, custodial virtual-asset service, exchange service, or regulated financial activity should be considered active unless Dawat has expressly announced the service and completed the required legal and regulatory process.
Digital-asset features may be delayed, restricted by location, limited to testing, made available through an authorized partner, modified, or discontinued following legal or regulatory review.
13. Blockchain and wallet risks
A connected blockchain wallet may be controlled by the user or by an independent wallet provider. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Dawat does not hold, control, or recover a user’s private keys or recovery phrase.
Users are responsible for protecting wallet credentials, checking recipient addresses, reviewing transaction instructions, confirming network selection, and understanding transaction fees.
Transactions submitted to a blockchain may be irreversible. Dawat may be unable to cancel, reverse, modify, or recover an incorrect, unauthorized, fraudulent, or accidental transfer.
Digital-asset risks may include:
- Loss or theft of private keys or recovery phrases.
- Malware, phishing, impersonation, and wallet-draining scams.
- Smart-contract bugs, exploits, or unintended behavior.
- Network congestion, failed transactions, forks, or outages.
- Validator, bridge, oracle, exchange, or infrastructure failure.
- Unexpected transaction fees or protocol changes.
- Loss of liquidity, utility, access, or market value.
- Regulatory, tax, enforcement, or geographic restrictions.
- Total and permanent loss of a digital asset.
References to Solana or another blockchain do not constitute a guarantee that Dawat will permanently use that network or that the network is secure, available, suitable, or endorsed by Dawat.
14. No token-value or classification guarantee
Dawat makes no representation that `$DAWAT`, or any proposed reward or digital asset, has or will have monetary value, redemption value, transferable value, exchange liquidity, legal tender status, investment status, or a particular regulatory classification.
Any future description of an asset as a reward, point, utility resource, governance mechanism, community incentive, or payment instrument is descriptive only and remains subject to its actual design and applicable law.
Users should not acquire or hold a digital asset based on an expectation of profit arising from Dawat’s statements, efforts, roadmap, partnerships, development activity, or anticipated exchange listing.
15. Rewards, promotions and community initiatives
Points, rewards, referrals, vouchers, discounts, promotional credits, bounties, campaigns, and community incentives may be subject to eligibility conditions, limits, availability periods, expiration dates, verification, and separate campaign rules.
Promotional benefits may be withheld, corrected, reversed, or cancelled when obtained through error, manipulation, duplicate accounts, automation, false submissions, referral abuse, fraud, or violation of applicable rules.
A community proposal, Bayanihan campaign, fundraising concept, feature vote, project page, or contribution display does not guarantee that the project will proceed, receive sufficient support, obtain required permits, meet its target, or produce a particular result.
Any feature involving custody, charitable solicitation, crowdfunding, investment, lending, securities, or regulated fundraising will require separate legal review and may not be available until the required structure and approvals are in place.
16. Technical availability and cybersecurity
Dawat is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, subject to warranties and obligations that cannot legally be excluded.
Dawat does not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, complete security, permanent storage, or compatibility with every device, browser, operating system, wallet, payment provider, or telecommunications network.
Service may be affected by:
- Scheduled or emergency maintenance.
- Software defects, configuration errors, or failed deployments.
- Cloud, database, hosting, domain, or certificate failure.
- Mobile coverage and internet connectivity limitations.
- Power interruption and local infrastructure failure.
- Malware, denial-of-service attacks, fraud, or cyber incidents.
- Third-party APIs, identity systems, maps, messaging, or payment outages.
- Natural disasters, emergencies, or government action.
Users should maintain reasonable device security, install trusted updates, protect authentication credentials, verify official Dawat channels, and remain alert to phishing and impersonation.
17. Data, estimates and automated information
Maps, distances, prices, arrival times, availability, ratings, statistics, search results, translations, generated text, recommendations, forecasts, and automated decisions may be based on estimates, third-party data, or incomplete information.
Such information may be delayed, inaccurate, unavailable, or affected by changing circumstances.
Users should independently verify information where accuracy is important to health, safety, payment, legal compliance, travel, property, employment, or business decisions.
18. Privacy and personal information
Dawat’s handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy.
No online system can guarantee absolute security. Personal information may be exposed through compromised devices, reused passwords, phishing, malicious software, third-party incidents, unauthorized account access, or other events outside Dawat’s reasonable control.
Users should not publish passwords, private keys, recovery phrases, full payment credentials, unnecessary government identifiers, confidential medical information, or other highly sensitive material in public listings, messages, or reviews.
19. Third-party platforms and integrations
Dawat may link to or integrate with third-party maps, identity providers, wallets, payment services, analytics tools, messaging systems, cloud platforms, social networks, websites, and decentralized protocols.
Third-party services are governed by their own terms, policies, security practices, availability, fees, and regulatory status.
Dawat does not control every independent third party and cannot guarantee its continued operation, data accuracy, cybersecurity, transaction processing, customer support, or compliance.
The presence of a third-party name, logo, API, link, or proposed integration does not necessarily constitute sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, approval, or a live commercial relationship.
20. Forward-looking statements
Dawat materials may contain forward-looking statements regarding development plans, launch dates, user growth, transaction volume, employment, geographic expansion, partnerships, revenue, funding, community participation, regulatory approval, token functionality, and other future events.
Forward-looking statements are based on current plans, assumptions, expectations, and information. They are not guarantees of future performance.
Actual results may differ materially because of:
- Funding and resource limitations.
- Software and infrastructure challenges.
- Changes in law, regulation, policy, or enforcement.
- Partner, merchant, driver, and customer adoption.
- Competition and market conditions.
- Payment-provider and infrastructure availability.
- Weather, geography, road access, and connectivity.
- Cybersecurity, fraud, safety, and operational incidents.
- Events outside Dawat’s reasonable control.
Users should not place undue reliance on projections, roadmaps, mockups, target dates, estimates, or aspirational statements.
21. Testimonials, reviews and community content
Testimonials, reviews, comments, ratings, case studies, social posts, and community submissions reflect the experiences or views of the persons who submitted them.
Individual outcomes may differ. A positive review or featured experience does not guarantee that another user will obtain the same result.
Dawat may moderate or remove content under its platform rules, but it does not guarantee that every inaccurate, offensive, fraudulent, unsafe, or unlawful submission will be identified immediately.
22. Emergencies and urgent situations
Dawat is not an emergency-response service unless a particular function is expressly identified and officially authorized as such.
Users should contact the appropriate police, fire, medical, disaster-response, local-government, or emergency authority when immediate assistance is required.
Messaging a driver, merchant, support representative, host, or provider through Dawat is not a substitute for contacting emergency services.
23. Geographic and rural-service limitations
Rural and mountainous operations may face limited road access, long distances, sparse provider availability, intermittent connectivity, weather disruption, landslides, flooding, power interruption, and limited emergency services.
Service coverage shown on Dawat may be approximate and may change without notice based on provider availability, safety, weather, demand, road conditions, local restrictions, or operational capacity.
Users should not rely solely on Dawat for essential supplies, emergency transport, medical needs, or time-critical services without maintaining appropriate alternatives.
24. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dawat will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential losses, including loss of profit, revenue, data, business, opportunity, goodwill, or anticipated savings.
Dawat is not responsible for loss resulting solely from independent provider conduct, false user information, compromised credentials, external payment systems, third-party wallets, blockchain networks, external websites, user error, or events outside Dawat’s reasonable control.
These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law and do not exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including liability arising from fraud, willful misconduct, or other legally non-excludable obligations.
Specific limitations and remedies are further described in the Terms of Service.
25. Statements that must not be inferred
Dawat content must not be interpreted as:
- A promise that any Dawat feature, service, token, reward, partnership, integration, or geographic expansion will launch.
- A guarantee of profit, appreciation, income, demand, liquidity, adoption, savings, or return.
- An offer to sell securities, solicit investments, accept deposits, or provide regulated financial services.
- A guarantee that every provider, merchant, driver, courier, host, listing, product, or transaction has been independently inspected or certified.
- A legal, tax, investment, accounting, medical, safety, transportation, or professional opinion tailored to an individual user.
- A waiver of consumer, privacy, contractual, or other rights that cannot legally be waived.
26. Changes to this Disclaimer
Dawat may update this Disclaimer to reflect changes in technology, services, business operations, partnerships, safety practices, or applicable law.
The revised version will display an updated date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website, application, email, or another available channel where reasonably appropriate.
Users should review this page periodically, particularly before using newly introduced, regulated, financial, or digital-asset functionality.
27. Contact and formal notices
Questions concerning this Disclaimer may be submitted through the official support or legal channels published by Dawat.
Verified corporate information and official legal contact details are maintained on the Corporate and Legal Information page.
Do not send passwords, private keys, recovery phrases, complete payment credentials, or unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary support messages.
