South African Legal Advice Site is a venue for informational and educational purposes to allow Customers to ask questions and Lawyers to answer them. Users of the Site, not South African Legal Advice, provide the content in Posts (defined below). The Lawyers determine which questions to answer; Lawyers are not employees or agents of South African Legal Advice but are, like Customers, simply Users of the Site.
South African Legal Advice is not involved in the conversation between Customers and Lawyers and does not refer Customers to or endorse or recommend particular Lawyers. You acknowledge that South African Legal Advice cannot and does not edit, modify, filter, screen, monitor, endorse or guarantee the content of Posts. Accordingly, South African Legal Advice is not liable for any acts or omissions of Lawyers, content in Posts, the ability of Lawyers to answer questions or the ability of Customers to pay for answers. We cannot ensure that a Customer or Lawyer will complete a transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, South African Legal Advice reserves the right, but is not obligated, to refuse to post or to remove any content.
EMERGENCY QUESTIONS AND CRISIS SITUATIONS (particularly regarding medical or mental health issues) should be directed immediately by telephone or in-person to qualified professionals. The Site is not the appropriate venue to deal with such situations.
The Site is an Internet-based forum (akin to a modern version of a radio call-in program) and information submitted in the content of your questions, answers, requests for information, responses, profiles, signatures, qualifications, comments, and posts in the Lawyer Forum and other places where Users communicate on the Site (collectively "Posts") is not private or confidential, nor is it protected by attorney-client privilege, and it may be read, collected, and used by others. For example, search engines may index your questions, answers, and other Posts to allow them to appear in search engine results (e.g. if someone does a search on google.co.za, your questions, answers, and other Posts on salegaladvice.co.za that relate to the search may appear in the google.co.za search results list). To better protect your privacy, use an anonymous user name and do not include_once information regarding your identity or contact information in your Posts.
The Website www.salegaladvice.co.za enables Customers to obtain legal advice from qualified Lawyers online. The use of the service bought from this Website is at the Customer's risk. The Customer / user indemnifies and holds South African Legal Advice harmless against any loss, injury or damages which may be sustained as a result of using the services sold on the Website.
The private information required for executing the orders placed through the e-commerce facility, namely the User's personal information and credit card details will be kept in the strictest confidence by the South African Legal Advice and not sold or made known to third parties. Credit card details are not kept by South African Legal Advice under any circumstances.
South African Legal Advice cannot be held responsible for security breaches occurring on the User's electronic device (Personal Computer or other electronic device used to browse the Website), which may result due to the lack of adequate virus protection software or spyware that the User may inadvertently have installed on his/her device.
Online Payment – MyGate Payment Gateway All online credit card payments are processed by the MyGate Internet Payment Gateway. Card Holders may go to www.mygate.co.za to view MyGate security policy.
Privacy: casual surfing The User may visit the Website without providing any personal information. The Website servers will in such instances collect the IP address of the User computer, but not the email address or any other distinguishing information. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent at the Website, pages viewed, etc. South African Legal Advice uses this information to determine use of the Website, and to improve Content thereon. South African Legal Advice assumes no obligation to protect this information, and may copy, distribute or otherwise use such information without limitation.
Every Lawyer on the Site is a qualified practising Lawyer in South Africa, and is somebody who has been admitted by the High Court of South Africa as a Lawyer or Advocate. Details regarding the credential(s) for each Lawyer can be found by clicking the "What’s This" link next to the "Verified" logo associated with each Lawyer. Other information about an Lawyer, not shown as verified, has been provided by the Lawyer but has not been verified. Use of the term "Lawyer" by South African Legal Advice and on the Site is only meant to describe Lawyers who answer questions on the Site, and not to guarantee any particular level of expertise of the Lawyers.
South African Legal Advice performs the verifications described above. South African Legal Advice makes efforts to verify, including using a third-party identity verification service, but cannot warrant or guarantee, a User's purported identity; user identification on the Internet is difficult. For these reasons, South African Legal Advice cannot and does not represent, warrant or guarantee the truthfulness or accuracy of the credentials or identities of and provided by Users including Lawyers. South African Legal Advice will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on any information or content contained in Posts.
Answers on this Site are to be used for general information purposes only, not as a substitute for in-person evaluation or specific professional (medical, legal, tax, financial, etc.) advice. Lawyers in the Legal category will provide only general information about the law, and will not provide legal advice nor propose a specific course of action for a User. By answering questions, Lawyers do not form attorney-client relationships with Users of the Site. The laws, regulations, other governing authorities, standards, practices and procedures that apply to your particular question may differ depending on your location and information typically discovered through in-person evaluations or visits. Lawyers in some categories may be licensed, certified, educated, employed by or have experience in only particular jurisdictions.
No professional-client relationships shall be formed on the Site.
Communications on this Site are not confidential and shall not be the subject of any associated privileges. Communications on this Site are limited, do not involve in-person evaluations or visits, and do not include_once safeguards and procedures typical of in-person evaluations and visits.
Before you can interact with an Lawyer, you will be required to agree to a Disclaimer reminding you of these and other important provisions of the Terms of Service.
User Accounts. When you register as a User on the Site, you will establish a user name and password for access to your online account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your user name, password and account data, may not share this information or your account with anyone else, and will be solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under your account. You will immediately notify South African Legal Advice of any unauthorized use of your password or account. You should only create one account on the Site. If any South African Legal Advice account of yours has been suspended or terminated, you may not open another account on the Site.
You agree to keep your contact and billing information (including but not limited to email address) up-to-date, and to comply with all billing procedures, including providing and maintaining accurate and lawful billing information for active South African Legal Advice accounts.
Restricted Activities. You agree that any content you provide on the Site and your use of our Site shall not: (a) be fraudulent, inaccurate or misleading; (b) infringe any third party's proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy; (c) be illegal or violate any law, statute, ordinance, regulation or ethical code; (d) be competitive with South African Legal Advice or the Site; (e) be defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing; (f) be obscene or contain child pornography or, if otherwise adult in nature or harmful to minors, shall be posted with "Mature Audiences Only" in the listing title and appropriate notices to prevent unauthorized underage viewing and shall be distributed only to people legally permitted to receive such content; (g) contain any viruses, Trojan horses, or other computer programming routines that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information; (h) create liability for us or cause us to lose (in whole or in part) the services of our ISPs or other suppliers; or (i) link directly or indirectly to or include_once descriptions of goods or services that (aa) are prohibited under the Terms; or (bb) you do not have a right to link to or include_once . You may not consummate any transaction that was initiated using our Service that, by paying to us a fee, could cause us to violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation. Furthermore, you may not resell or make any commercial use of our system or the content on the Site without South African Legal Advice' prior written consent.
You are prohibited from soliciting Users of this Site, including Lawyers, for any purpose (including inviting other Users to contact you off of the Site or inviting Users to participate in a website that competes with South African Legal Advice or the Site or charges money to receive answers or to communicate with purported Lawyers or specialists).
Suspension or Termination of Service. If you wish to terminate your service, you may do so by furnishing us with written notice of your decision. Your notification must be sent via e-mail to [email protected]. Cancellations will be effective within 7 business days. Any fees accrued as of the effective date of termination will be payable according to the Terms.
At any time, without notice, for any or no reason, South African Legal Advice reserves the right to refuse service to anyone, to modify and discontinue any portion or all of the Service, and to restrict, suspend and terminate Users’ accounts.
South African Legal Advice' platform allows you to post your questions to Lawyers in your questions' categories, facilitates communication with Lawyers via chat, emails and online message boards, and enables delivery of answers to your questions, among other services ("Site access benefits").
Pay-Per-Question. With the pay-per-question model, you select the price that you are willing to pay for the Site access benefits related to a single question. Once you have selected the price and paid the amount, your question can be posted on South African Legal Advice. Lawyers typically respond quickly, either with a request for further information or with an answer. With requests for further information, it is important that you take advantage of the opportunity to communicate directly with the Lawyer so the Lawyer can benefit from your further information in providing the answer.
Once you receive an answer from an Lawyer, you will be asked whether you found the answer to be helpful and would like to accept it. You are requested to accept the answer if you find it to be helpful (as determined by you in your sole discretion). By accepting an answer, you are instructing and authorizing that a portion of your payment be paid to the Lawyer instead of to South African Legal Advice. By accepting more than one answer, you are authorizing South African Legal Advice to charge your payment source (for example, the credit card or PayPal account you provided to South African Legal Advice) multiple times and instructing and authorizing that a portion of each of your payments be paid to the Lawyer instead of to South African Legal Advice. For example, if you accept two answers, your payment source will be charged twice the price.
South African Legal Advice does not guarantee that you will receive a response from an Lawyer, or that you will be satisfied with your communication with an Lawyer. In the rare instance that no Lawyer responds at all to your question within thirty (30) days, South African Legal Advice will provide you, as part of the Site access benefits, with copies of or access to other previously asked questions and answers on South African Legal Advice in a category related to your question (as determined by South African Legal Advice in its sole discretion).
South African Legal Advice takes customer satisfaction seriously. Accordingly, if you do not accept an answer and are not satisfied with your experience on South African Legal Advice for any reason, then as your sole remedy you may request a refund within thirty (30) days of when you paid to ask your question on South African Legal Advice here by contacting us via e-mail at [email protected]. Please check here before requesting a refund to make sure you have viewed the most up-to-date responses to your question. If you do not request a refund within thirty (30) days of your payment, South African Legal Advice is not required to provide you a refund for any reason and shall be entitled to retain the full amount of your payment as compensation for providing the Site access benefits related to your question.
If we believe, in our sole discretion, that any funds were earned under suspicious circumstances or that funds were derived from a suspect account, we will continue to investigate the situation until we have adequate resolution, as determined by us, and which may require the involvement of certain third parties, including any applicable credit card company. We will make commercially reasonable efforts not to exceed a ninety days hold on your account as we and/or a third-party investigate.
South African Legal Advice maintains the right to initiate special incentive, pricing, membership, and other programs. These may be limited, at South African Legal Advice’s sole discretion, to defined and limited Users or non-Users. Any promotional monies or credits placed into customer accounts by South African Legal Advice for use towards answers on the Site remain the property of South African Legal Advice (they never become the property of Users and never become refundable to the User), and unless otherwise stated on the Site or in an email to a User, will be usable only for thirty (30) days.
