The Provider retains all copyright and other intellectual property rights in all content published on the Website and to the Wizard, including logos and other graphics and multimedia.
The User may view content from either the Website or Wizard and copy it onto a computer or other device or storage media, and may print and make paper copies of it, but only if it is not used for any commercial purposes and any copy shows the Providers copyright notice
The logos and trade marks on the Website and in Wizard are the Providers’ registered and unregistered trademarks or those of other parties.
No permission to use any such trade mark for any purpose is provided.
Even if any content on the Website or in Wizard is not confidential or there is no copyright in it, the Provider still owns all of it and the User has no rights in it.
Nobody may create any kind of link or reference to the Website or the Wizard without the Providers’ consent first having been obtained. Links that need permission include hyperlinks (automatic links in text), deep links (that bypass the Website’s home page), frames, metalogs or any similar reference, electronic or not.
The User must use suitable hardware and software (computer equipment and programs) suitable for the Website and Wizard. If the User fails to do so either the Website or Wizard may not function correctly which may increase the Users’ exposure to security risks.
The Provider does not warrant that any file, download or application available on the Website or in Wizard is safe to use on any computer. The Provider cannot guarantee that it contains no software or data that can negatively affect a computer system, such as viruses, Trojans and other malicious software.
The User will be prompted on the Website to either Sign In or Sign Up.
Sign In grants the User access to the Wizard for purposes of generating a Health and Safety file (“SHE file”) whilst Sign Up allows the User to select a payment plan and make payment.
The User may select either a standard or business payment plan.
The standard plan costs R900.00 incl. VAT per month and entitles the User to generate up to 4 SHE files per month. Additional files may be generated at a cost of R290.00 per file.
The business plan costs R1700.00 incl. VAT per month and entitles the User to generate up to 9 SHE files per month. Additional files may be generated at a cost of R220.00 per file.
All amounts are expressed exclusive of value added tax.
Either plan entitles the User to unlimited use and exists on a month to month basis, terminable by the User on 7 days’ notice to the Provider.
The Provider may terminate the Users’ registration on the Website or of Wizard on 7 days’ notice to the User in the event of the User having breached the Terms and Conditions.
The User may pay amounts owing to the Provider by credit card, electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) or by way of an authorization form permitting the Provider to place a debit order on the Users account.
Credit card transactions are outsourced to Virtual Card Services (Pty) Ltd (“VCS”).
When using your credit card for making payment to the Provider, VCS will attempt to use 3D Secure as an additional security measure if your issuing bank supports it. 3D Secure will authenticate your personal details and will authorise payment. If your issuing bank supports 3D Secure but you have not activated it, you will be redirected during the payment process to set it up.
EFT shall be made to the bank account of the Provider appearing on both the Website and Wizard.
The Provider accepts no responsibility for payments made erroneously by the User to the incorrect bank account nor for any liability that may arise as a result of credit card transactions implemented by VCS.
VCS is a third party service provider and the User acknowledges that any credit card transaction shall be implemented on the terms and conditions of VCS.

Refunds shall only be payable for advance payments made in respect of months that have not yet commenced and which have subsequently been cancelled in advance by the User.
SHE files are generated through the Wizard by applying the Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 85 of 1993 (“OHS Act”) to relevant information and documentation submitted by the User.
As the compilation of the SHE file is dependent on such information and documentation, the Provider does not warrant that the SHE file will either comply with the OHS Act or be fit for the intended purpose of the User.
The User acknowledges that the OHS Act imposes an obligation on the Use to comply with the Regulations to the OHS Act (the “OHS Act Regulations”).
It is the responsibility of the User to ensure, either itself or through the party transacting with the User, that the SHE file complies with the OHS Act and the OHS Act Regulations.
