deviations / abnormal usage

Não é demanda, é "desmanda"

Utentes são usuarios ou assinantes. [Africa portuguesa]

Desmandas são desvios no uso do serviço. Exemplo, quando seu cartão de crédito é usado em Fortaleza, mas vc mora em Buenos Aires, a visa/mastercard liga pra vc para confirmar. A leitura biométrica serve para confirmar a identidade do usuário.

Outras medidas podem até bloquear a compra ou uso até que o cliente confirme pessoalmente.

It may also mean to countermand or cancell an order previously sent from the user. However, I am sure it is not because of the mention of biometrics, which are used to confirm user before giving final authorization to something. It is also used in healthcare services. Cheers!

Note from asker:
Thanks, Verlow. Unfortunately I did already submit it, but I know they proofread it so hopefully they dealt with it. So is this word only used in European Portuguese then?

agree Mario Freitas : Right. If it's not a mistype, you're right.

demands

This is surely a misspelling.

The demands of users.
