3Content
We will do our best to make sure the Sites are as up to date and accurate as possible.

We disclaim all liability arising from any reliance placed on such information to the fullest extent permissible by law.
Where the Sites contain any details or information provided by third parties, we make no promise that those details are up-to-date or accurate.
If you find any of the materials or content contained on the Sites to be obscene, offensive, defamatory, racist, harmful, unlawful, inaccurate, illegal or deceptive, please let us know by emailing legal@businesstechafrica.co.za.

4Legal agreement
By entering and using the Sites, and/or any page accessible on the Sites, you signify your acceptance, without limitation or qualification, of these Terms without modification. By accessing and using the Sites (whether or not you have registered for an account with us), you acknowledge that you are bound by the Terms to the extent that each section applies.
We may change or amend the Terms from time to time without individual notice to you. You should check the Terms regularly to ensure that you are happy with any changes. If you continue to use the Sites you will be deemed to have accepted any changes to the Terms.
Imizamo Media Group reserves the right to remove any information or material on the Sites without warning, and without prejudice to any other accrued rights, and/or to make available such information or material when required to do so by law or when requested to do so by regulatory bodies or law enforcement organisations.
If you do not agree to comply with your obligations in these Terms, please do not use the Sites.
5Registration, subscription or membership login
There may be parts of the Sites, and some services, which are not available to visitors. The Sites may therefore require you to sign up, subscribe or register for a membership account in order to access certain pages or services. During any such registration you will provide us with personal information about you. If there are any changes to the information supplied, it is your responsibility to inform us straight away via your account page.
By registering or subscribing you consent to us using your data for the provision of the services and/or products. Your name, username and/or profile may be displayed publicly on the Sites when you submit content or as otherwise specified. We may transfer your data to any of our affiliates or third parties, or where necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulations.
You will choose, or be provided with, a username and password. You must treat such information as confidential and must not disclose it to any third party. Please tell us, by updating your settings, of any changes to the information you provided when registering.
If you wish to cancel your membership or account at any time, you may do so by contacting us at info@businesstechafrica.co.za. We may disable your login or registration at any time (temporarily or permanently) if we believe it is reasonable to do so — for example, because you have failed to comply with the Terms, or to protect your personal information.
If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your username or password, you should promptly notify us at info@businesstechafrica.co.za. Should you forget your password, please select the "I forgot my password" option on our Sites.

You agree that you use the Sites entirely at your own risk.
To the fullest extent possible, Imizamo Media Group expressly excludes and disclaims all warranties, terms, conditions and representations that might otherwise be implied by law in relation to the Sites — including warranties of technical efficiency, satisfactory quality, availability, non-infringement, completeness and fitness for a particular purpose.
The content on our Sites is provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the content on our Sites.
Imizamo Media Group shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever arising out of the use or performance of the Sites, whether based on contract, tort or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of damage. The Sites and content are delivered on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the Sites or these Terms, your sole remedy is to stop using the Sites.
Notwithstanding anything in these Terms, Imizamo Media Group does not disclaim liability for death or injury caused by its own negligence, fraudulent misrepresentation, or anything else that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.
13Virus protection and compatibility
While certain precautions have been taken to detect computer viruses and ensure security, Imizamo Media Group cannot guarantee that the Sites are virus-free and secure, and shall not be liable for any loss or damage that occurs as a result of any virus or breach of security.
We do not give any warranties as to the compatibility of the Sites with your computer systems, software and/or hardware. You are responsible for configuring your technology to access the Sites and should use your own virus protection software. You must not misuse the Sites by knowingly introducing viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or other malicious or technologically harmful material.
14Links to third party sites
The Sites may contain links to websites operated by parties other than Imizamo Media Group ("Third Party Website"). When you use a link to go to a Third Party Website, your browsing and interaction there is subject to that website's own rules and policies. The inclusion of links does not imply any endorsement of their material or association with their operators.
Imizamo Media Group has no control over, and accepts no responsibility or liability in respect of, material on any website that is not under its control — including, but not limited to, any Promotions.
15Linking to the website
You may link to the Sites' home page, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal, for non-commercial purposes (unless we have given you written consent otherwise), and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it.
You must not establish a link in a way that suggests any form of association, approval or endorsement on our part where none exists. The Sites must not be framed on any other site, nor may you link to any part of our Sites other than the home page. You must not establish a link to the Sites on any website that is not owned by you.

16General
Imizamo Media Group and its respective controlled entities and affiliates (together the "Imizamo Group") may benefit from and shall be entitled to enforce these Terms.
Unless otherwise specified, the Sites are directed solely at those who access them from South Africa. Those who choose to access the Sites from locations outside South Africa are responsible for compliance with local laws to the extent they are applicable.
Enforcement of these Terms is solely at our discretion, and the fact that we may not enforce them in some circumstances does not mean we have lost the right to enforce them in future. If any provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Imizamo Media Group as to your use of the Sites and supersede any prior agreement or representation. These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of South Africa, and any disputes will be decided only by South African courts.
