Terms of Use

Effective date: 13 April 2026. Last updated: 19 May 2026. Version: v2.0. These Terms govern your use of this website in a South Africa-first legal context.

In short

Use this website for lawful informational and enquiry purposes. Content is general information, not professional advice, and no client relationship exists without a signed engagement agreement.

This page is an information summary of website-use terms and is not legal advice to site visitors.

1. Acceptance and eligibility

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and applicable law. If you do not agree, you should discontinue use of the website.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the website is lawful in your jurisdiction and consistent with these Terms.

2. Permitted use

This website is provided for lawful informational and business-enquiry purposes related to The Skills Consultancy and its services.

You may view and reference content for internal evaluation. Any other use must remain accurate, lawful, and non-misleading.

3. Prohibited conduct

You must not interfere with website operations, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malware, abuse forms or communication channels, scrape or harvest content in a way that causes operational harm, or misrepresent identity or affiliation.

You must not use the website in a way that infringes rights, violates confidentiality, or creates security risk for the business or other users.

4. Intellectual property and license limits

Unless stated otherwise, website content, design elements, text, graphics, and service descriptions are owned by The Skills Consultancy or used under permission.

No rights are granted except a limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to view website content for personal or internal business evaluation. Reproduction, adaptation, redistribution, or commercial exploitation requires prior written permission.

5. Information-only and no professional advice

Website content is general information and does not constitute legal, regulatory, tax, employment, or other professional advice.

Reliance decisions should be based on formal professional review and, where relevant, a signed engagement with appropriate scope and terms.

6. No client relationship without signed engagement

Use of this website, submission of an enquiry, or communication through listed channels does not by itself create a client or advisory relationship.

Any service delivery requires a separate written agreement covering scope, fees, responsibilities, and engagement terms.

8. No guarantee of engagement

The Skills Consultancy is not obliged to accept every enquiry or provide services in every case.

Service acceptance, timing, and scope remain subject to internal fit assessment, capacity, and agreed contractual terms.

9. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold The Skills Consultancy harmless against claims, liabilities, or costs arising from your unlawful use of the website or your breach of these Terms.

This clause does not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited or shifted under mandatory law.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, The Skills Consultancy is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from website use, unavailability, or reliance on general content.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability where exclusion is prohibited by law.

11. Suspension and termination rights

We may suspend, limit, or block access where we reasonably suspect misuse, security threats, unlawful behavior, or other material violation of these Terms.

Where practical, we may investigate and resolve misuse before restoring access.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or service changes.

Changes take effect when published on this page unless otherwise stated. Continued use after publication indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of South Africa.

Subject to mandatory law, disputes related to website use fall within the jurisdiction of competent South African courts.

14. Severability, waiver, and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, remaining provisions continue in full effect to the extent lawful.

A failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. These Terms form the full website-use understanding between you and The Skills Consultancy regarding this website.
