The terms, in plain language.

These terms govern your use of the Webnova website. By browsing the site, contacting us through it, or otherwise using it, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

We have written them in plain language rather than legalese. They sit alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your information.

This site is owned and operated by Webnova, a web and software studio based in Brackenfell, Cape Town, South Africa. Where these terms say “we”, “us” or “our”, they mean Webnova. Where they say “you”, they mean the person using the site.

You can reach us at info@webnova.co.za or on +27 (0) 21 300 5038.

You may use this site for lawful purposes only. You agree not to use it in any way that breaks the law, infringes anyone else’s rights, or disrupts the site or the servers it runs on. In particular, you agree not to attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, introduce malicious code, or scrape or copy the site for commercial purposes without our permission.

We may suspend or restrict access to the site at any time if we reasonably believe these terms are being broken.

Unless stated otherwise, everything on this site, including the text, design, layout, graphics, code, and the Webnova name and branding, belongs to us or is used with permission, and is protected by South African and international copyright and intellectual property law.

You are welcome to view the site and share links to it. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, or reuse any of its content for your own commercial purposes without our written consent.

Work we create for clients is covered by the separate written agreement for that project, not by these terms.

Information on this site, including any service descriptions or prices, is provided for general guidance and may change without notice. It is not a binding offer.

Sending us an enquiry or asking for a quote does not create a contract. We only enter into a binding agreement once it is set out and agreed in writing between us and you for a specific piece of work.

The site may link to other websites that we do not control. We provide those links for convenience and do not endorse, and are not responsible for, the content, products, or practices of any third-party site. Visiting them is at your own risk, and their own terms and privacy policies apply.

We take real care with this site, but we provide it on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not warrant that it will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free, that it will be free of viruses or other harmful components, or that the information on it is complete or current at any given moment.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude any warranties that are not expressly set out in these terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, Webnova will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, or any loss of profit, data, or business, arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site or anything you rely on from it.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Some of your rights as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act cannot be excluded, and these terms do not attempt to do so.

Your use of the site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms and explains what information we collect, why, and how we look after it.

We may update these terms from time to time as our practices or the law change. The current version will always live on this page, and your continued use of the site means you accept the version in force at the time.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, including the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act and the Consumer Protection Act where they apply. Any dispute relating to them or to the site falls under the jurisdiction of the South African courts. If you use the site from elsewhere, you are responsible for compliance with your own local laws.

If anything in these terms is unclear, or you would like to talk to us about them, please get in touch. We are happy to explain anything that is not obvious.
