    CONSUMER PROTECTION

CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT  AND PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION ACT

1. If you are a consumer, as defined in the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 ("CPA"), we have a duty to point out certain important terms to you.

 

2. The paragraphs which contain these important terms and the reasons why they are important are set out below:

 

2.1.    Limitation of risk, legal responsibilities and liability. The “PRIVACY POLICY AND DATA PROTECTION” clause 8 and clause 2.3 of the “TERMS OF USE” section above are important because they limit and exclude obligations, liabilities and legal responsibilities that we may otherwise have to you. As a result of these clauses, your rights and remedies against us are limited and excluded. These clauses also limit and exclude your right to recover or make claims for any losses, damages, liability or harm you or others may suffer. In summary, these paragraphs state that you know and accept that the Internet is not absolutely secure and that there is a risk that your Personal Information will not be secure when transmitted over the Internet.

 

 

 

 

2.2. Assumption of risk, legal responsibilities and liability by you. Clause 8 of the “TERMS OF USE” is important because you take on risk, legal responsibilities and liability. You will also be responsible for, and you accept, damages, harm, and injury which may be suffered by you and others in relation to what is stated in these clauses.

 

2.3. Acknowledgements of fact by you. The “PRIVACY POLICY AND DATA PROTECTION” clause 8 and clause 2.3 of the “TERMS OF USE” section above are important because they each contain statements which are acknowledgements of fact by you. You will not be able to deny that the statements are true.

 

3. If any part of the Privacy Policy is regulated by or subject to the CPA or the Protection of Personal Information Act, No. 4 of 2013 ("POPI"), it is not intended that any part of this Privacy Policy contravenes any provision of the CPA or POPI. Therefore all provisions of this Privacy Policy must be treated as being qualified, to the extent necessary, to ensure that the provisions of the CPA and POPI are complied with.

 

4. No provision of the Privacy Policy:

 

4.1.    does or purports to limit or exempt us or any person or entity from any liability (including, without limitation, for any loss directly or indirectly attributable to our gross negligence or wilful default or that of any other person acting for or controlled by us) to the extent that the law does not allow such a limitation or exemption;

 

 

4.2. requires you to assume risk or liability for the kind of liability or loss, to the extent that the law does not allow such an assumption of risk or liability; or

 

4.3. limits or excludes any warranties or obligations which are implied into this Privacy Policy by the CPA or POPI (to the extent they are applicable) or which we give under the CPA or POPI (to the extent they are applicable), to the extent that the law does not allow them to be limited or excluded.
