Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of swimmingpoolbuilders.co.za (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. The Site is operated from South Africa and these terms are governed by South African law.

We are an independent publisher of guides, cost analyses and pool-type comparisons. We do not design, build, install, repair, service or finance pools. Any third-party builders, suppliers or services mentioned or linked from the Site are independent businesses. We are not their agent and we do not control or guarantee their work.

All content on the Site is provided for general information and education only. Pricing ranges, timelines and regulatory references reflect our best research at publication date but should never be relied on as a quote, professional advice or a substitute for consulting a qualified contractor. Always obtain written quotes and confirm regulatory requirements with your local authority before committing to a project.

If you create an account you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms, post unlawful content, or attempt to abuse the Site.

Builders may submit profile information, portfolio images and descriptions. By submitting content you warrant that you own it (or have permission to use it) and you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display it on the Site. We may remove any content that is misleading, unlawful, infringing or otherwise inappropriate.

Some links on the Site are affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you click and transact, at no extra cost to you. Sponsored content is clearly labelled. Affiliate or sponsorship arrangements never determine our editorial recommendations. Read our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

• Don't scrape, mirror or republish our content without written permission.
• Don't attempt to break, overload or probe the Site for vulnerabilities.
• Don't post defamatory, misleading, infringing or unlawful content.
• Don't use the Site to send spam or run automated submissions.

All editorial content, design, code, branding and logos on the Site are owned by swimmingpoolbuilders.co.za or licensed to us. You may share short extracts with proper attribution and a link back, but you may not reproduce substantial portions without our written consent.

To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, we are not liable for any indirect, consequential or special loss arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content, including any dealings with third-party builders or suppliers. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Consumer Protection Act, 2008 or POPIA.

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
