Terms of Use & Legal Notice

1. Who we are

Section 43 of the South African Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 25 of 2002 ("ECTA") requires that certain particulars be made available on a website. They are:

2. Purpose of this website

This website exists to describe who we are and what we do. It is a corporate information resource. It does not sell goods or services, does not process payments, and does not conclude contracts.

3. No offer, no advice, no solicitation

Nothing on this website constitutes, or should be relied upon as:

• an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, share, interest or financial product;
• an invitation to invest, or an offer of participation in any venture or fund;
• financial, investment, legal, tax or accounting advice;
• a promise, representation or warranty as to any future outcome or return.

Descriptions of our capabilities and the sectors in which we operate are illustrative. They do not constitute a track record, a guarantee of results, or a representation that any particular engagement, portfolio company or transaction exists or has been concluded.

4. Enquiries and documents you send us

Submitting the enquiry form does not create any contract, relationship, obligation or duty between you and us. We are under no obligation to respond, to meet, to evaluate any proposal, or to keep any opportunity open.

Do not send us confidential or proprietary information unless we have signed a written confidentiality agreement with you. Documents you upload through the form are handled as described in our Privacy Notice, but sending them does not by itself create a duty of confidentiality, and does not restrict us from pursuing similar opportunities or working with others in the same sector.

We receive many enquiries and may independently consider, develop or invest in ideas similar to those you send us. Nothing in your submission grants you any right, and nothing obliges us to compensate you.

You confirm that you have the right to send us anything you upload, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

5. Intellectual property

6. Links to other websites

Where we link to a third-party website, we do so for convenience. We do not control those sites, do not endorse them, and accept no responsibility for their content, availability, or privacy practices.

7. Availability and accuracy

We take reasonable care to keep this site accurate and available, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components. Content may be changed or removed at any time without notice.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, VidaLufuno (Pty) Ltd, its directors, employees and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website, or from reliance on any content on it.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

9. Privacy

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Notice, which forms part of these terms. This site sets no cookies and uses no tracking technology.

Your right to request access to records held by us is described in our PAIA Manual.
