Terms & Conditions

WELCOME TO OKOBAN, the Global Solution for Lost & Found.

Thank you for using our Lost and Found registration services (the “Services”). The Services are provided by Okoban SA, located in Geneva, Switzerland (“Okoban”).

By accessing or using any features of our website www.okoban.com (the “Site”), you confirm that you are over the age of 18 years of age and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions of use (“Terms and Conditions”).

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully as they set out the legally binding terms with respect to your use of our Services, through the Site. If you are unwilling to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, you should not access or use the Site. We reserve the right to modify the Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice.

 

OUR SERVICES:

Our Services provide you with the opportunity to register your personal property through the Site, and offer a way for you to be notified about lost or misdirected property. Okoban, through the Site, provides a communication vehicle so that persons finding lost or misplaced property (the “Finder”) can be connected with the registered owner (the “Owner”) of the property, so that the property can be returned or reclaimed.

Okoban does not investigate, confirm ownership of any property or transmit personal contact information of Owners to Finders. All arrangements for the return of property are solely between the Finder and the Owner. Okoban is not party to the relationship between Owner and Finder and cannot or will not get involved, mediate or interpret/translate on behalf of either party. Local laws may apply to the improper retention of another person’s property, and requiring any payment for the return of property may be unlawful.
