Thank you for choosing Divido for your fractional real estate investment journey. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions for refunds related to your investments on our platform.
Important: Divido operates as a fractional real estate investment platform. Once invested in a property, your funds are used to purchase ownership shares. Refunds are subject to specific conditions outlined below.
1. Understanding Your Investment
When you invest in a property through Divido:
- Your funds are used to acquire fractional ownership shares
- Shares are registered in your name
- You become a co-owner of the property
- Your investment is subject to property market conditions
Key Point: Unlike traditional purchases, fractional real estate investments are subject to market value fluctuations. The value of your shares may increase or decrease over time.

3. Post Cooling-Off Period Refunds
