1. GENERAL
The information provided on Howzit Portal is for general information purposes only. While we work hard to keep directory information current and accurate, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information on the Platform.
2. DIRECTORY AND LISTING INFORMATION
Business and service-provider listings are compiled from information supplied by listed entities and from publicly available sources. Details such as trading hours, addresses, contact numbers, and services can change without notice to us. We do not verify every detail of every listing, and we do not endorse any listed business or provider. The appearance of a listing is not a recommendation or a guarantee of quality, legality, or fitness for purpose. Always confirm details directly with the business before relying on them.
3. SCHOOLS DIRECTORY INFORMATION
School listings (crèches, pre-primary, primary, secondary, combined, comprehensive, technical, TVET colleges, colleges, and universities) are compiled from public sources such as provincial education department listings and school websites. School details — including contact numbers, addresses, school types, and enrolment information — can change without notice, and some public sources may be outdated. We are not affiliated with, accredited by, or endorsed by any school, education department, or education authority. Nothing on the Platform should be taken as education advice. Before making enrolment or admission decisions, verify information directly with the school or the relevant provincial Department of Education.
4. ADVERTISING DISCLAIMER
Advertisements ("adverts") displayed on the Platform are placed and paid for by third-party advertisers. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, claims, pricing, or accuracy of third-party adverts. The display of an advert does not constitute our endorsement of the advertiser, its products, or its services. Your dealings with any advertiser are solely between you and that advertiser.
5. NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
The content on the Platform — including business listings, school listings, and any automated assistant ("chatbot") responses — is provided for general information and convenience only and does not constitute professional, legal, financial, medical, or educational advice. You should obtain advice from a qualified professional before acting on any information found on the Platform. The Platform and any AI assistant must not be used as a substitute for professional consultation.
6. EXTERNAL LINKS
The Platform may contain links to external websites (including business and school websites) that are not provided, maintained, or controlled by us. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any third-party website. Links do not imply endorsement.
7. ENQUIRIES AND QUOTES
When you submit an enquiry or quote request, your details are forwarded to our administrative team and to relevant listed providers. Providers respond to you directly. We do not vet, warrant, or guarantee the pricing, quality, availability, or conduct of providers, and any contract for goods or services is solely between you and the provider. Perform your own due diligence — including checking references and quotations — before engaging any provider.
8. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
We correct errors and update listings when they are brought to our attention. If you spot an error or an outdated listing, use the "Report/Remove this Listing" facility on the profile page or email help@howzitportal.co.za and we will action it promptly.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, and without limiting your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, neither we nor our directors, employees, or agents shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Platform or any information on it.
