Terms of use

Last updated: 4 October 2026

These terms apply to everyone who uses larmadeals.com (Larma Deals, "we", "us"). By creating an account or posting an ad you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Larma Deals.

1. What Larma Deals is

Larma Deals is a free classifieds website where people in Uganda post ads and contact each other to buy, sell, rent, hire and offer services. We provide the website only. We are not a party to any deal: we don't own, inspect, hold, deliver or guarantee anything advertised, and we don't take or hold payments. Any agreement is made directly between the buyer and the seller.

2. Who can use it

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• You need an account to post ads, message people, save ads, see phone numbers or leave reviews.
• Give your real name and a phone number and email address that are yours, and keep them up to date.
• Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens on your account. If you think someone else has used it, change your password and tell us at admin@larmadeals.com.
• One person, one account. You may not use the site if we have suspended you before.

3. Posting ads

• Only advertise items, property or services you own or are allowed to sell or offer.
• Be honest: real photos of the actual item, a true description including any faults, the real price and the right category and location.
• Post each item once. Don't repost the same ad to push it up the list.
• Mark the ad as sold or delete it once the item is gone.
• Job ads must be for real jobs and must never ask applicants to pay a fee.
• Up to 20 new ads a day per account, to keep the site free of spam.

4. Things you may not advertise

• Anything illegal in Uganda, or that needs a licence you don't have.
• Stolen goods, and phones or vehicles with altered or blocked IMEI or chassis numbers.
• Counterfeit or pirated goods.
• Weapons, ammunition and explosives.
• Drugs, prescription medicines and other controlled substances.
• Protected wildlife and anything made from it, such as ivory or animal skins.
• Human remains, organs and blood.
• Adult content and sexual services.
• Official documents such as IDs, passports, number plates, certificates and permits.
• Personal data, accounts and login details.
• Pyramid schemes, "get rich quick" offers, loans needing an upfront fee, and investment or betting schemes.
• Anything that promotes hate, violence or discrimination.

5. How to behave

• Be respectful in messages. No harassment, threats, hate speech or spam.
• Don't try to trick people. Fake payment proofs, "overpayments" and fake delivery services are all banned.
• Don't ask for one-time codes, passwords or deposits before someone has seen the item.
• Don't copy other people's ads or photos.
• Don't collect other users' details for marketing.
• Don't use bots or scrapers, or try to get round the site's security or limits.
• Reviews must be about a real deal you discussed with the seller. They must be honest, and must not be written for payment or as revenge.

6. Buying and selling safely

Never pay before you have seen the item. Meet in a busy public place, check the item works, and be careful with prices that look too good to be true. Read our safety tips. Because we are not part of any deal, we can't refund money or settle disputes between users. We will, however, act on reports and help the police where the law allows.

7. Verified sellers

A Verified badge means our team checked an identity or business document for that account at the time. It is not a guarantee of the seller, their items or their future behaviour, so still follow the safety tips.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of the ads, photos, messages and reviews you post. You give us a free, worldwide licence to host, store, resize, display and share them for as long as they are on Larma Deals, so that we can run and promote the service. For example, we may show your ad in search results or link to it from social media. You confirm that you have the right to post them. You can delete your ads at any time. Reviews you wrote stay until you delete them or your account.

9. Reports, moderation and suspension

Anyone can report an ad or a user. Our team reviews reports and may, without notice:

• remove or hide ads;
• remove reviews;
• remove the Verified badge;
• suspend accounts that break these terms, or that we reasonably believe are being used for fraud.

A suspended account's ads are taken down. If you think we got it wrong, write to admin@larmadeals.com and we will look again. We may share information with the police or other authorities when the law requires it, or to protect people from harm.

10. Fees

Posting ads and using Larma Deals is free. We may later offer optional paid features, such as promoting an ad. Their price will always be shown before you pay, and these terms will be updated to cover them.

11. The service "as is"

We work hard to keep Larma Deals running and safe, but we provide it "as is". We can't promise it will always be available or free of errors. We don't check every ad, and we are not responsible for:

• what users post;
• the quality, safety or legality of what they offer;
• whether a buyer or seller completes a deal.

12. Our liability

As far as the law of Uganda allows, we are not liable for any loss that comes from deals between users or from content other users post. We are also not liable for any indirect loss, such as lost profits or business. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

13. Closing your account

You can delete your account at any time in Account settings. This permanently deletes your ads, photos, saved ads and conversations. We may close accounts that break these terms, or that have been inactive for a long time, after trying to warn you by email.

14. Changes

We may update these terms as Larma Deals grows. We'll change the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you on the site or by email before they apply. If you keep using Larma Deals after that, you accept the new terms.

15. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Uganda. Any dispute about them will be handled by the courts of Uganda, but please contact us first so we can try to sort it out.
