The sharing of these terms or of any domain name by multiple companies, trusts, corporations or other entities is merely for convenience and comprehensiveness; it in no way indicates any joint dealing or responsibility between these entities, who always contract separately with you.

These Terms may be referred to by us using different words or phrases, such as "Terms and Conditions", "Trade Terms", "Policy", "Policies", "Disclaimer", "Disclaimers" or any combination of these or similar words or phrases. Such alternative reference shall always mean these Terms and shall not in any way detract from or mitigate the force and effect of these Terms. It is specifically stated that our use of "CC" does not refer to "Credit Card" as is sometimes assumed by international clients. We use "CC" exclusively in the South African legal context in which it only means "Close Corporation". ACCOUNTING OFFICER We supply an Accounting Officer with all our Shelf CCs. You may not enter any Accounting Officer details on the CK2 / CK2A pages / CC documentation supplied by us or for the CC in question. You may only change Accounting Officer after the CK2 / CK2A is returned to you fully registered. In addition, neither you nor any possible new Accounting Officer (no matter how much experience he/she may have in these matters) are allowed to send off documents to the Registrar or otherwise handle or manipulate such CC documentation. This can cause many complications. If you or they do, we will not get involved in fixing the problems that occur and will have no other option but to apply for the CC's deregistration. ACCOUNTING PROVISIONS Monthly accounting clients are required to prepare and deliver/dispatch files with an up-to-date record of all bank, cash, debtor, creditor, stock, and other information for the relevant month/s within the first 12 days of the month following the month for which the work is to be done. Such record shall include all relevant bank statements and shall be in the form of a list of consecutive transactions and shall contain all particulars which relate to such transactions, including, dates, names, cheque/invoice/VAT registration numbers, item/s/service/s purchased/sold, amounts received/paid, and any other relevant information. Accountkeeper "writes up the books" of monthly accounting clients in such manner and utilizing such programs as Accountkeeper in its sole discretion shall determine, whether by computer or manually, or by any combination of these. Subject to the damage/loss disclaimer below, the client is entitled to receive one hard copy of the "books" for the monthly fee paid. For security and data integrity reasons, which includes the issue of compatability, all electronic data written up or captured belongs to Accountkeeper only and is never given or sold to the client or nominee. The terms of this paragraph and section also apply to other clients of Accountkeeper, including yearend clients and those for whom books might be written up / captured periodically or annually. Monthly accounting clients pay Accountkeeper the agreed fee monthly in advance by means of a regular bank payment order/recurring credit card instuction or such other method acceptable to Accountkeeper, which fee is reassessed for possible adjustment during the period thirty days prior to and after the client's financial year-end date, failing which said fee shall increase on each anniversary of the monthly accounting agreement at the rate of 6% per annum. Whereas Accountkeeper shall endeavour to preserve and return in good order to the client all accounting documentation supplied, Accountkeeper shall not be responsible for any damage thereto or loss thereof. Accountkeeper shall not be liable for any damage or loss of any nature whatsoever which might be sustained by a client during or subsequent to the carrying out of Accountkeeper's activities and whether or not such damage or loss may have been caused directly or indirectly by Accountkeeper or any of its servants, associates, subcontractors or agents. If a client is a company, close corporation or other juristic person, the client's representative dealing with Accountkeeper binds him-/herself jointly and severally to the client as surety and co-principal debtor for payment of all sums in terms of any order/agreement/transaction. Accountkeeper retains the right to cede or assign its rights and obligations in terms of any order/agreement/transaction with a client to a nominated beneficiary, notification of which shall be given in writing (by mail, fax or email) by Accountkeeper to the client. A client may not cede or assign its rights and obligations in terms of any order/agreement/transaction with Accountkeeper. ACCURACY AND ERRORS We are well-known for our careful and meticulous work. However, while every effort is made to work accurately in the receipt and transfer of information, we will not be held responsible for basic or relatively unimportant typographical errors (as determined in our sole discretion) however they may have arisen. Please be careful to give us accurate information. If you make an error in the information you give to us, whether it be the incorrect spelling of a word or name, the incorrect recording of a number or any other mistake, we are not responsible for this or for correcting it; you are solely responsible for such errors, and if you would like us to assist you in applying to correct such an error, this will in all cases be subject to our standard admin fee of from R260.00 ("Two Hundred and Sixty Rand") depending on correction complexity determined in our sole discretion. We do not look up postal codes for addresses you have not coded. It is standard practice in South Africa to always supply a postal code when providing an address, whether or not that address may have a postal service; the latter instance is required as a geographical indicator. Thus you are required to supply postal codes for all addresses within South African and postal/zip codes for all other addresses where such system is in place for the applicable country, when providing us with any address. We will not be responsible for the consequences of your failure to do so, and you specifically authorise us to enter any filler code for an address you have not coded to comply with a form-submission requirement. If you subsequently require such postal codes to be amended, our full changes fee will apply. Check your documents carefully before signing and returning them. You are responsible for proof-reading and informing us of any errors in all documentation that we may present to you for perusal or signing. If you sign a document which we present to you, and that document contains an error of any sort or origin, you will be deemed to be solely responsible for the error and, if necessary, for the correction thereof and any accompanying payment therefor; we will not be held responsible for any such error. We cannot control what third parties do. Therefore, if a government office or any other third party captures, receives, transmits, reproduces, enters or otherwise records any of your information incorrectly or with typographical error, neither we nor any of our agents, consultants or other workers shall in any way bear responsibility for such errors, and the responsibility and payment for any correction thereof shall be solely yours. If it so happens that in your dealings with us, we perchance omit to do something or we do something wrong or in the wrong way, you will have no other recourse but to allow us to do the ommitted thing or to redo (if possible) the thing done incorrectly. We will not be responsible for any costs, damages, losses and/or liabilities, alleged or otherwise, in connection herewith. Our overall policy of "No refunds" still applies. ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Annual Financial Statements / Financial Statements (AFSs) done strictly in order of payment and according to group schedule. We make every effort to notify each client when AFSs are due, and we will not be held responsible for late rendition. It is the client's responsibility to supply us with a list of annual income and expense totals (phone, rent, etc). Any function in our sole discretion carried out for AFSs/Year-End finalization charged for at standard rates. ANNUAL RETURNS The terms and conditions of this entire site shall be applicable to all offerings and transacting for Annual Returns, notwithstanding the proprietorship of such trading being a party other than eCC. Notwithstanding any Annual Return year indication on your application/order form, we shall be at liberty to apply any fees paid to any outstanding Annual Return year and/or its penalty fee in order to effectively manage the Annual Return affairs of the relevant entity as understood by us in our sole discretion. If an Annual Return is late or if government makes any additional charge above their standard fee, applicants will be responsible to pay such amount forthwith and it shall be automatically charged to the relevant credit card, our fee included. If an Annual Return is late, you hereby authorise us to charge your credit card with our standard fee for all the outstanding Annual Returns as well as any applicable late fees to bring the Annual Return matters of the relevant entity up to date. If no card, then you undertake to forthwith make payment by online transfer or cash bank deposit - no cheques allowed. If you submit your Annual Return application/order to us prior to the cutoff date of the relevant entity and we are only able to work on and submit that application online after the cutoff date for whatsoever reason, you will nevertheless be responsible to pay our late fee as indicated. No exceptions will be made to this policy and no correspondence or discussions will be entered into concerning this ruling. If you place an Annual Return application/order with us and pay for it, and it is subsequently discovered that the return is not due, no refund or repayment of the fee paid is permitted. It shall be held over for the next Annual Return application due date, at which time you must refill and submit the relevant order form at www.annualreturns.co.za without payment to update details to us. We will then continue with the application. If you do not so refill and submit, we will not be obligated to handle the applicable Annual Return, and any fee paid in connection therewith will be forfeited without recompense. An annual return order includes only such detail and input as supplied by the applicant in the order and/or which is required to be entered into the government return format. Where missing or apparently faulty, we use our discretion to retrieve/determine information from sources available to ourselves, and you give us full permission to do so and to enter such in our sole discretion in your Annual Return. We will not be held liable or responsible for any incorrect information thus submitted. An annual return order does not include any other information, return or form needing filling / filing. In the event of an annual return order / application requiring the relevant company to render further information / returns, these additional submissions shall be quoted for separately and shall be viewed and dealt with separately from the annual return. If time is short to cutoff date for an Annual Return, we shall be fully entitled to submit the Annual Return online without giving you an opportunity to verify the information or without necessarily awaiting your approval of the information to be submitted. The aim will be to meet the deadline, and any amendments desired by you thereafter will need to be paid for separately. This latter amendments principle also applies to all Annual Returns submitted by ourselves. In any event, if you do not verify/approve information for submission within 3 days of request, or you discontinue using our services for any reason, we shall be fully entitled, but not obliged to submit the Annual Return online without waiting further for your approval. In the unlikely event of us not being able to retrieve an annual return report / certificate for whatever reason, it shall be sufficient proof of the return having been done should we simply report to you in writing, such as by email, that the report was successfully done. In addition, if any of your indicated changed information is not entered into an annual return for whatsoever reason, this shall not negate the effectivity of the completion of the return or the fee earned, and you shall accept the return as done by us - no claim concerning changing such information can or shall be entertained. Annual Returns are by their nature, once-off reports and cannot be retrieved or redone, their main purpose being to alert the authorities to the fact that the relevant entity is still in business. ASSIGNMENT By ordering from us or otherwise entering into a trade arrangement with us, you authorise us, in our sole discretion, to assign in whole or in part any or all aspects of the administration of your matter and file to any party we may deem fit for such task including to an associate, such as eCC / Accountkeeper, subject to the terms and conditions at www.corp.co.za / www.accountkeeper.co.za. You further authorise us or our nominee, in our sole discretion, to register your business, CC, company or other and yourself and all of the said entity's directors / members / owners / others for tax and for online tax / tax form submissions and services, such as on SARS eFiling, and to carry out these submissions and services on your behalf, subject to the terms and conditions at www.accountkeeper.co.za and in practice at Accountkeeper from time to time. You may not assign your order sent to us or other trade arrangement with us, in whole or in part, to any third party. AUTHORISATION By submitting a form or placing a request or order in any other manner with us you irrevocably authorise us to handle or assist you with the relevant application / order as we see fit, including authorisation to make any representations and/or to sign any documentation on your behalf. Specifically, by submitting a form or placing a request or order in any other manner with us you irrevocably give to us or our representatives / assigns a Special Power of Attorney to carry out / execute the intention of the application / order on your behalf, including the signing of forms, etc. Your said act of submitting a form / placing a request or order is equivalent to you duly signing and presenting to us said Special Power of Attorney, and you will duly sign and secure to us a physical said Special Power of Attorney as and when you may be requested so to do.

If you cannot keep your books on computer, it is your responsibility to keep them in some other manner (such as manually in an analysis book) and to provide us timeously with the documentation required at list.org.za. We will not be held responsible for not logging in to your computer to work on your books or for not synchronising your books with the Annual Financial Statements, and it remains your responsibility to keep your books and to provide us timeously with the documentation required at list.org.za. In any event, the manner and degree to which we may synchronise your books with the Annual Financial Statements always remains a matter to be dealt with in our sole discretion.

CK2 FRESH CERTIFICATE This product it typically ordered when a client has misplaced a CK document for a CC and needs a fresh certificate. CK1 documents are not always available electronically and therefore such an application is mostly only for a CK2 certificate. CK2 documents are amended founding statements for CC's and you, by your order for a CK2 document, consequently authorise us to make such amendment/s application on your CC as we may deem fit in our sole and absolute discretion in order to as efficiently as possible expedite the issue of the fresh certificate in question. You will provide us with the necessary special power of attorney and any other required documentation in order to effect this. If a CK2 or any other CK/CM certificate is not capable of being obtained for any reason whatsoever, including that the entity is deregistered, closed, liquidated or otherwise unavailable or in the process of any of these, our discovery of same will be deemed to indicate a failed/rejected status for such application.

INFORMATION POLICY All information, howsoever transmitted and provided by us, or by any of our divisions, servants, associated companies / corporations, trusts, employees, consultants, directors, or any other such person or entity, and whether paid for or not, is done in good faith, and none of these parties will be held responsible for the possible incorrectness or misapplication thereof. All such information is supplied on the basis of "errors and omissions excepted". We may from time to time provide client / other information under password protection on subdirectories of "MyInfo" or other on our site/s for convenient access by clients. While every effort is made to prevent downtime or unwarranted access to this information, we will not be held responsible for any downtime or access by unwanted persons howsoever caused or gained. Although client listing under MyInfo might be essentially free, services in this connection, including initial listing, may be charged for at any time without notice. IP ADDRESSES AND PRIVACY When you visit our website, we may log your computer's IP address. An IP address is the unique number used by your computer when it communicates with other computers, such as when you surf the Internet. We may automatically record IP addresses in order to administer our website more effectively, to determine the popularity of individual pages for better meeting our clients needs, to evaluate the geographical spread of site visitors and clients for marketing purposes, and to assist in verifying credit card usage in an effort to minimise fraud. On our main site, we do not usually correlate IP addresses to any personal user details. This means that whereas your site usage may be logged, you remain for all intents and purposes anonymous. If we need to enforce disclaimer, trade term or general principles, we will, however, use IP addresses for user identification; also to protect our rights, our site, our clients, users, and any other applicable party. On our secure site (when ordering) we may match IP addresses with fax and online order details in an attempt to minimise fraudulent credit card usage; this protects you financially and ensures as far as possible that your credit card is not incorrectly used. We do not use IP addresses for any untoward purpose, such as spamming, data sales, or any similar such anti-social activity. We respect your privacy, and guard any record of your IP address as carefully as we do any credit card / banking details of yours that you may have disclosed to us. MODIFICATION, APPLICABILITY AND INCLUSIVITY The Close Corporation, Company, Trust, Registration, Accounting, Tax, and Email systems and the practice of providing and administering such Services are evolving, and therefore, we shall have the right, in our sole discretion, to modify the terms and conditions of this document, or other policies / rules from time to time. Any modification by us shall be binding and effective immediately upon posting of the modified document/s on this or any other associated website. We do not specify when/which modifications are made, so the burden of proof will fall on you if you aver that any term read differently on the date of your order, application or request as envisaged herein. If you cannot conclusively prove same, it will be assumed that the term in question read the way it reads on the date of contention. This disclaimer and trade terms are deemed to include all disclaimers, terms and conditions appearing variously on order forms, etc, throughout this and any associated website. The above disclaimers and all other terms and conditions on this website cover the entire site and all our operations regardless of language, product, service, or otherwise and cover in like manner all of our associate sites, operations, and persons howsoever related and whether natural or juristic. Likewise all associated or related disclaimers, terms and conditions, whether on this website or elsewhere (such as www.websites.org.za) are deemed to be included herein to the extent that they do not contradict or mollify the effect hereof as determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion. NAME CHANGES Upon request, we handle name change applications on behalf of our clients (after a Close Corporation / Company has been purchased). This costs approximately double the cost of a name change application done simultaneously with a Close Corporation / Company purchase. Thus it is in the client's interest to opt for the latter if possible rather than the former. NAMES All Close Corporation / Company names on the Close Corporation / Company / CC / Pty List have been carefully created. We have endeavoured to proffer inoffensive names only. These Close Corporation / Company names have various origins, some being known words from different languages, others being words which have no known meaning. We do not undertake to provide meanings of names to clients or potential buyers. Limited email pointers, at our sole discretion, may be provided, on receipt of a request sent at our email link on our contact page. You select and use our or your Close Corporation / Company names, whether regular, SBC or other, at your own risk. In the event of us in our discretion having to modify the names supplied by you in order to secure a successful reservation, we will not be held responsible for any possible objections, costs, damages, etc which may arise in this regard. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on this site or any referred site, or in any offer, rule or policy of ours: when a name reservation application fails, we shall be at liberty to offer re-applications with or without additional cost in our sole and absolute discretion; in such an instance, we typically charge R195.00 for a company name re-application and R99.00 for a CC name re-application - these prices are subject to change without notice; we shall always be allowed to adjust or change any name, purpose or description of principle business in any application to comply with any standards / requirements as interpreted by us in our sole discretion. We will not be held responsible for any errors, be they typographical or otherwise, relating to name reservation applications. Name reservations / approvals for companies and CC's are generally valid for 2 months. If a name reservation expires or is within 3 weeks of expiry for a company and 2 weeks of expiry for a CC due to your breach of the 14-day document return rule or other, you will automatically become obligated to pay a renewal / re-application fee of R395.00 for a company and R295.00 for a CC, aside from any other applicable admin or other fee. Clients using Close Corporations / Companies in countries other than in South Africa are likewise solely responsible for the possible conflict of said Close Corporation / Company names with the names of other incorporated / business entities, registered names, trademarks, and / or other names in such countries. Spelling mistakes in names / information given by you are your responsibility, and we will not be held accountable for any such errors being processed or registered. Changes on already entered, captured or submitted documentation is subject to a from R260.00 correction fee per item in our discretion, and changes on already dispatched or registered documentation must be paid for in full by means of a change application. If you do not use/take up an entity name on a CM5 or CK7, for whatsoever reason as determined by us in our sole discretion, you implicitly donate said document to us, forfeiting any right to it, and thereby authorise us to use the applicable name as our own and/or for our own purposes. If you require a name after this you will be liable for full payment of our standard fee as per application. NEW CC CC names proposed by you: The first available name will be allocated to you. If none of the names are approved, you may be given more opportunities at our discretion to supply other names. We reserve the right to adjust any names during any application process without notice in order to comply with various standards/requirements. We cannot guarantee that your name application/s will succeed. If they do not, your final Close Corporation document may be dispatched to you with a name as close as possible to your desired name in our sole discretion. The first name application is included in the cost of your Close Corporation. Any additional applications may, in our sole discretion, be charged for at the cost of R100.00 each. You authorise us to automatically debit your credit card for any additional name applications. You are reminded that all fees paid to us are non-refundable. Member contributions: The Total Members' contribution - i.e. the first money put into the CC to start it off (usually a nominal amount of R100) is selected and adjustable by us in our sole discretion. Please do not pay this amount to us - the contribution amount must be placed into your CC's bank account / petty cash as start-off cash. If you wish to make a higher contribution, it is recommended to rather put that money into the CC as member loan/s which can more readily be withdrawn again for your use. NEW PTY You must print the Special Power of Attorney at https://www.kaltan.co.za/kcci/n/PowerOfAttorney.html (duplicate the page if more than 10 shareholders) or at such other address as may be provided from time to time, fill in, sign (shareholders and directors) email/fax it to us for approval and post to us by Speed Services at your local Post Office counter within 48 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays) of submitting the order and email us with the postal tracking number. Please note: Your PTY cannot be formed without a Power of Attorney. Client non-compliance in regard to or our non-receipt of the Special Power of Attorney shall not invalidate the order which always remains irrevocable, but our remedies for non-receipt / late receipt of documentation are nonetheless fully applicable. We provide our own Chartered Accountant as your PTY's nominated Auditor. You can change this at any time. If you wish to appoint your own Auditor from the start, you must send to us two original Forms CM31 from a qualified Auditor, duly filled in and signed (with the space for the PTY name left blank - we will fill it in when approved) along with the Special Power of Attorney referred to above, within the specified timeframe. If a shareholder is a Close Corporation, Company or Trust (these may not be directors), please mail us (by Speed Services along with the Special Power of Attorney referred to above) an originally signed resolution of that entity agreeing to take up the specified number of shares in "a company to be registered through Readyco International CC" and authorising a signatory (such as a Member, Director or Trustee) to sign all necessary documents on the entity's behalf to effect such, including the Special Power of Attorney referred to above. NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS No latitude nor leniency in the application of these terms nor any indulgence given by us shall be construed to be a waiver or novation of our rights in regard to these terms. OFFICE HOURS 9am-1pm & 2pm-4pm Monday-Friday Closed: 15 December - 5 January & South African public holidays: 1 January - New Year's Day 21 March - Human Rights Day A Friday in April - Good Friday The following Monday - Family Day 27 April - Freedom Day 1 May - Worker's Day 16 June - Youth Day 9 August - National Women's Day 24 September - Heritage Day 16 December - Day of Reconciliation 25 December - Christmas Day 26 December - Day of Goodwill If the Day falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is usually a public holiday. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained or contained in any other of our sites, documents or pages, although we may receive online orders and emails at any time of the day or year, outside of office hours and during the closed period, we do not process anything and we are not available for appointments, mail / courier deliveries, or any other activity. ORDER FORM VERSIONS All order forms and other documentation on or connected with this site and our business ("the information") are deemed to be coordinated. In the event of a conflict of terms, the term more in our favour shall prevail. Editing, amending or changing in any manner whatsoever of any of the information, or the use of order forms older than 24 hours is strictly forbidden. Notwithstanding any receipt or acceptance by ourselves of any form (whether or not older than 24 hours) or other part of the information having been so edited, amended or changed, without our prior written consent, such editing, amending or changing shall be totally invalid, and the information so edited, amended or changed shall be deemed to have not been edited, amended or changed, and shall remain fully applicable and valid. All current terms absent on old forms received or accepted by us shall likewise be fully applicable and valid. It always remains the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that any order form used is up-to-date and not older than 24 hours. POSTAL DELIVERY/COURIER Do not use a courier to our offices who delivers outside of our office hours. Do not post mail to our physical address. No matter what might be stated elsewhere, even by ourselves, the preferred way to send any documentation to us from within South Africa is by Speed Services from your Post Office counter to our P O Box. You may also however post mail to us from within South Africa by normal post to our P O Box. PROCESS ISSUES In the unlikely event of a third party objecting to the use of the name of your Close Corporation / Company / Trust purchased from us, whether regular, SBC or other, of there being an unexpected delay in document transmission / return, of there being any uncorrected errors on any documentation, or of their being any difficulties or complications with opening bank accounts, purchasing property, acquiring / configuring any email addresses / aliases, or any other related matters, neither eCC nor any of its owners / associates will be responsible or liable for any alledged or real costs, losses, damages, or claims, or any correspondence involved therein. In the unlikely event of a third party objecting to the presentation of results, of there being an unexpected delay in document transmission/return, of there being any uncorrected errors on any documentation, or of their being any difficulties or complications with tax payments/tax form rendition/any other related matters, neither Accountkeeper nor any of its owners/associates will be responsible or liable for any possible costs, losses or correspondence involved therein. We are, however, prepared to provide, at our sole discretion, limited email advice in this regard, on receipt of an email request sent to us. PROOF OF APPLICATION / OTHER Should you request proof of any of our activities in connection with your application / order, it shall be sufficient proof of such activity having been carried out if we simply report to you in writing, such as by email, that the activity was in fact carried out. We shall not be responsible for supplying / showing any further proof, such as documentation, receipts and the like. We may in our sole discretion provide you with a tracking number or other information where applicable and deemed necessary by ourselves. REFERRED WEBSITES Nothing in forwarding / referred site names, descriptions and / or content ("referred matter") shall be construed as our vouching for or supporting the relevant concerns, and we shall not be held responsible for the referred matter in any manner whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything which might be indicative to the contrary, reciprocal or other links may be considered for inclusion on this or any other group site by substitution in our sole and absolute discretion. If we do not reciprocate a link, the only remedy you may have is to remove any link to us you may have placed on your site. We are not responsible for the content, functionality or other aspects of referred, reciprocal or other sites. REGISTRATION OF COMPANIES, CORPORATIONS AND TRUSTS All Close Corporations / Companies / Trusts offered for purchase on the Close Corporation / Company / CC / Pty / Trust List have been duly registered by the South African Government in terms of the Close Corporations Act, 1984, the Companies Act, 1973, or other applicable act, respectively. Similarly, all Close Corporations / Companies / Trusts to be applied for registration upon your order request are applied to be registered by the South African Government in terms of the same Acts respectively. RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE It is your responsibility to ensure that all required information / documentation / payment is received by us on time and to ascertain that this has indeed taken place in accordance with our email communication policy. It is also your responsibility to procure estimate turnaround times where possible from us for certain activities and to monitor the execution of such activities also in accordance with our email communication policy. If you fail to make such enquiries as envisaged herein, we will not be held responsible for any possible missed emails / faxes or any unclear communications. SERVICE COMMENTS Whether or not expressly stated in writing or otherwise, you irrevocably grant to us or our assigns permission to quote you, concerning your comments about our service, by name and area or otherwise, in print or on the Internet, in our sole discretion. SOLD ENTITIES By faxing / sending any Order Form relating to this site and / or any other aspect of our business, you give us permission to display a "SOLD" sign on the Close Corporation / Company / CC / Pty List next to the Close Corporation / Company name being purchased, for as long as we in our sole discretion shall determine, alternatively only to remove such sold entity from the list as convenient to us. This shall also have the effect of allowing us to remove sold names from such lists in a reasonably practicable time in our sole administrative discretion. Other purchasers get allocated the first available entity. TAX CLEARANCES A payment and submission of a Tax Clearance application to us is valid for one such application that we make on your behalf to SARS. If the application is declined for any reason, we shall not be responsible to carry out any of the work involved to improve the applicant's status with the authorities - if you wish us to do any of that work it will be subject to separate quotation. It is not our responsibility to establish from SARS what may be outstanding or not up to date in your / the applicant's tax matters - it is up to you to find out these issues from SARS. Once you have improved the applicant's status, you may apply for another tax clearance upon payment of the normal fee, provided that we may in our sole discretion perform such second or subsequent application for the same applicant for a reduced fee or free of charge in our sole and absolute discretion. TAX PAYMENTS Notwithstanding that we do everything in our power to accurately expedite clients' tax work and payments, clients are obliged to remain constantly aware of their tax form/payment obligations in regard to timing and execution. Thus, although we perform the task of documentation/form preparation and tax calculation, the client remains ultimately responsible for own timeous tax payments. We will not be held responsible for tax amounts/penalty/interest. TERMINAL DOCUMENTATION In the event of a yearend client desiring to terminate future dealings with us the following will apply: Client must cooperate with us for the successful completion of all current paid-for work; if client chooses not to do so, our strict policy of no refunds equally applies. 3 working days notice after work completion or client stoppage and a/c / agreement paid up for final documentation / information collection / mailing / emailing at client's expense. All copying costs to be covered by client. We reserve the right to disallow documentation supply based on the fact that original documentation has already been supplied to client, or copies have already been supplied, and the only documentation we retain are copies of what the client already has. Should the client require additional copies, then our from R260.00 standard admin fee structure plus copy, handling, postage and packaging fees in our sole determination shall apply. THIRD-PARTY TRANSACTIONS In the event of an order being placed by you on behalf of a third party (such as by you as an attorney / accountant / consultant for a client / member) and you charge the client / member a fee for such service, nothing herein contained or elsewhere shall be construed as giving you any authorisation, agency or any other permission from ourselves to act on our behalf in charging such fee. Such arrangement shall be in its entirety between you and the third party, and we shall not be held responsible for anything whatsoever in such matter. In the event of you placing an order on behalf of a third party, you hereby warrant that you have the authority to bind that third party as a principal party to all terms and conditions provided in this document, on this site and on all of our linked pages. In the event of an order being placed by a person on behalf of a third party, the terms and conditions in this document will equally apply to said person as if that person was in fact the applicant. We use the Government Computer System for certain base certificate retrievals. We do not perform additional retrieval attempts on account of typographical errors made by you. We will not be held responsible for possible computer downtime delays, any erroneous/omitted data/information, or data non-retrieval, whether actual or alleged, in connection with such service. TIMING Subject to the general disclaimer above, our Corporations and Companies are supplied in South Africa and worldwide as indicated on the relevant pages of this site. Our ability to provide Close Corporation / Company application services to you depends in part upon the provision of services by third parties. We cannot control and will not be responsible for the actions or inactions of such third parties. We shall not be liable to you or any other party in connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered by you as a result of actions taken or not taken by third parties. Subject to all other disclaimers/terms/scheduling and to client's immediate supply of all necessary items/information/annual totals, our average timing from day of payment is exemplified as follows: IRP6 - 5 months; IT12 - 6 months; IT14 (includes Annual Financial Statements) - 8 months; IT14 + AFS for Companies (includes statutory audit) - 9 months. These are average durations based on workload and client scheduling. Individual times required for completion differ from client to client (may be shorter or longer) depending on various factors and on complexity of the work involved. TRADE NAMES Trade names indicated by you for use in conjunction with Close Corporations / Companies / any other entity are your sole responsibility, and we will not be held liable in any manner whatsoever in such matters, notwithstanding the inclusion of such trade names in bank account names, member / director cards, tax/VAT applications and the like. TRADEMARK APPLICATIONS Trademark applications are subject to the specific indicators on the relevant order / application form. The application fee is payable upfront in full and covers one search application, which if non-conflicted, includes further submission of the trademark application. If the search results in a conflict or conflicts, you may decide to proceed anyway with further submission of the application or to do another search. Each additional search is subject to our ruling fee for an additional search and does not exceed 30% of the overall application. TRANSACTION POLICY Payment in advance by credit card, cash or internet transfer only; no cheques allowed: payments or bank / credit transfers by cheque may be rejected / automatically rejected in our sole discretion, and, where unreversed, will only be repaid less a R189.50 admin fee after 21 days upon receipt of written request. If no written request is received, the entire payment is forfeited. No exceptions will be made to this policy. Close Corporation / Company returns or swaps not allowed. Documentation rejection by you not accepted. No refunds. No cancellations by you. No exceptions will be made to this policy. Close Corporation / Company / documentation collection in person, only after receipt of prepaid order and by appointment only. Prices / terms subject to change without notice. Payment without requisite information, removal / transfer of instructions or incorrect ordering or instructions shall result in forfeiting of fee and service/product. If you obstruct or stop us doing the stipulated work, you will incur a stoppage fee of one hundred percent of your total payment. You will be regarded as having obstructed/stopped us doing the stipulated work, if you did not comply with all requests for information/documentation within 14 days of order/application/our first such request. If unspecified, quotes/estimates shall be valid for 3 working days only. While we make every attempt to keep our services up to date, payments for orders, applications or requests for services or part services which subsequently become incapable of execution or only capable of execution in a different manner due to a defunct law/regulation, the passage of time or any other reason whatsoever, shall not be refundable. If only capable of execution in a different manner, your only recourse will be to allow such execution or to carry it or part thereof out as requested by ourselves. Transactions / deposits / transfers into our bank account which are subsequently claimed to be an error or mistake, shall be assessed by ourselves, and if in our sole and absolute discretion we determine that such is in fact a bona fide transaction / deposit / transfer but that it appears you have intentions to cancel, such transaction / deposit / transfer shall be taken as part of a legally binding transaction with us for the purposes indicated / matching the transaction, and you will be liable to comply with the applicable order rules and terms on this site. If such claim of error / mistake is assessed by ourselves in our sole and absolute discretion to be bona fide in and of itself, and, where unreversed, will only be repaid less a R189.50 admin fee after 21 days upon receipt of written request. If no written request is received, the entire payment is forfeited. No exceptions will be made to this policy. If you stipulate/select/pay an incorrect sum payable on any order form or other instrument of payment, the following will be applicable: if the amount is higher than required, no credit or refund will be granted; if the amount is lower than required, you automatically authorise us to charge your credit card with the difference required to make the correct payment, or if no credit card was used or it does not work for any reason, you undertake to pay the required difference either by wire, bank deposit or transfer (no cheques) within 24 hours of request being made to you. You authorise us to charge any credit card, the details of which have been supplied by you, with an order amount, any time after you have placed an order, regardless of whether or not you may have indicated that you would perform a bank deposit / transfer. As the person legally responsible for use of our services, you are required to supply us with a current and truthful name, postal address and telephone number for our records. You warrant that you are an authorised user of any credit card the details of which you supply to us and acknowledge that we have a right to fully investigate any possible fraudulent credit card use. VAT Our sales are not subject to VAT in terms of the Value-Added Tax Act, 1991. Therefore we neither charge VAT nor can you claim VAT on the purchase price of any Close Corporation, Company, Trust or service provided by us. In line with modern commercial practice, we do not issue invoices or receipts for payments made; your bank deposit slip, transfer printout, credit card / bank statement stands as proof of your payment to us; we may supply credit card printouts (slips) for transactions paid by card which require documents to be mailed / couriered; we retain credit card slips on file for transactions paid by card which require documents to be emailed. Your Close Corporation / Company must only be registered for VAT in South Africa if its turnover in any 12-month period will exceed R1 000 000. Because this cannot be established before a Close Corporation / Company is sold, we do not supply Close Corporations / Companies that are VAT-registered. Should you wish to register your Close Corporation / Company for VAT, we recommend that, when you receive the final Close Corporation / Company document, you apply at www.vat.org.za If your Close Corporation / Company is not going to be registered for VAT, you may wish to include a note on your invoices, such as: "Not registered for VAT."<br> The rationale behind this is as follows: "XYZ CC/PTY is not registered for VAT. VAT has not been added to the amounts on this invoice. These amounts are consequently 14% less than if VAT had been added. VAT-registered clients therefore do not lose a 14% claim, as they are charged 14% less." VAT AND OTHER REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS All VAT and other registration applications are accepted on the basis that the client is responsible to provide us with the correct and accurate requested / required documentation and to cooperate with us in regard to any other required action. Should you be requested or required to interface or apply in person at any SARS office or any other relevant place, you shall do so promptly at our or other concerned party request, and shall indemnify us against any liability for expenses, damages or loss, whether alledged or real, which may be associated with such activity. Your payment for a VAT and other registration application is deemed to be for advice / guidance in such matters and shall in no way be affected by any activity, work or expense required on your part to ensure the effective preparation, lodgement and/or monitoring of such application. WEBSITES AND WEB ADDRESSES We use numerous websites, pages and domain names to market and present our products and services. All such are subject to these terms as delineated therein and herein. An email sent from any email address of any domain name of ours or under our control shall be deemed to be subject to these terms insofar as the context, parties and other factors in our sole determination may dictate. An email sent by us containing one or more domain names / web addresses, shall be subject to the applicable terms to which those domain names / web addresses point. We shall have the final say in determining the relevance or applicability of any such term. Copyright © 1997-2010 by Kaltan Trust. All rights reserved. Any copying prohibited.
