We will use such information for providing the Services, exercising our rights and for performing our legal obligations under these Site Terms. We may also use it to contact you, to conduct research about our customers and to track and record the manner in which you use Services, the Site Content and the Site. Contact may be made via our third-party contractors or affiliates. You acknowledge that there is certain information that we must use in order to be able to provide the Services. If, for any reason, we are not permitted to use such information, we may not be able to perform our obligations under these Site Terms.

We acknowledge that such information is your proprietary and confidential data and that under no circumstances may we exploit that data for our own purposes not specifically relating to providing you the Services, save where you have consented to the contrary.
The information which you submit and store via the Site may be stored on our computer servers, which servers may be controlled, hosted and managed by our affiliates or third-party contractors, who will be bound to these confidentiality and privacy provisions.
We will disclose such information and other relevant information to our affiliates and third-party contractors who assist us (and our affiliates) to provide the Services and the Site, who will be bound to these confidentiality and privacy provisions.
We may access and use non-identifying and aggregated usage information and transaction volumes in order to better understand how our customers are using the Services and the Site so we can improve the system design and, where appropriate, have the system prompt users with suggestions on ways to improve their own use of the system.
Subject to payment of the applicable fees, we grant you a non-exclusive and non-assignable licence to access and use the Services and Site Content strictly via the Site and in accordance with these Site Terms and the Service Terms.

The Site may include interactive areas or services, including, without limitation, blogs, discussion forums, chat rooms, bulletin boards, message boards, online hosting or storage services, intranets or extranets, or other areas or services in which you, registered Site members or third parties create, post or store any information, content, messages, comments, materials or other items on the Site (“Interactive Areas”). You are solely responsible for your use of such Interactive Areas and use them at your own risk. By using any Interactive Areas, you agree not to post, upload, download, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish through the Site any of the following:

User Content that may infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual property or contract right of any party. By posting any User Content, you represent and warrant that you have the lawful right to transmit, distribute and reproduce such User Content;
User Content that impersonates any person or entity or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity;
Unsolicited promotions, political campaigning, advertising, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes or solicitations;
User Content that constitutes spam, is machine- or randomly-generated, that contains unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third-party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third-party sites, to further unlawful acts (e.g., phishing) or to mislead recipients as to the source of the material (e.g., spoofing);
Private information of any third party, including, without limitation, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, identity numbers and credit card numbers;
Viruses, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files; or
User Content that, in our sole judgment, is objectionable or which restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Interactive Areas or the Site, or which adversely affects the availability of its resources to other users (e.g., excessive shouting, use of all capital letters, or continuous posting of repetitive text), or which may expose us or our users to any harm or liability of any type.
Further, you agree not to delete or revise any User Content posted by any third party. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any User Content posted, stored or uploaded by you or any third party, or for any loss or damage thereto, nor are we liable for any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography or profanity you may encounter. Your use of Interactive Areas is at your own risk. As a provider of interactive services, we are not liable for any statements, representations or User Content provided by its users in any public forum, personal home page or other Interactive Area.
Although we have no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the User Content posted in any Interactive Area, and no User Content is endorsed, reviewed or approved by us, we reserve the right, and have absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any User Content posted or stored on the Site at any time and for any reason without notice. You are solely responsible for creating backup copies of and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Site at your sole cost and expense.

You acknowledge and agree that we may access, use or disclose any information about you or your use of this Site, including, without limitation, any User Content to comply with the law or any legal process; protect and defend our rights or property; or to protect our safety and the safety of our employees, customers or the public.
If you delete any of your User Content, we will use reasonable efforts to remove it from the Site, but you acknowledge that such deleted User Content (or references to it) may persist due to caching and may, therefore, not immediately be made unavailable.
If you post User Content to the Site, unless we indicate otherwise, you grant us and our affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such User Content throughout the world in any media, subject to our Privacy Policy. You grant us and our affiliates and sub-licensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if they choose.

These Site Terms are governed by and will be interpreted according to the laws of the Republic of South Africa, and all disputes, claims and other matters in connection with these Site Terms will be determined in accordance with such laws.
Any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Site, the Services, or the Site Content will be submitted to confidential arbitration to be held in Sandton under the rules of the Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa (or its successor in title), to which arbitration you hereby consent; except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek interdictory, injunctive or other appropriate relief in any applicable court in the Republic of South Africa, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

If any provision of these Site Terms is found to be unenforceable, wherever possible this will not affect any other provision and each will remain in full force and effect.
Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Site Terms. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on the Site.
