Terms and Conditions

Last updated 5 August 2026

Agreement to these terms

These Terms and Conditions are an agreement between you and Haaks Information Systems (“Haak.co”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) concerning your access to and use of haak.co and related website services (the “Website”).

By using the Website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Website. A separate proposal, statement of work, service agreement, or other written contract governs any paid consulting or development work and takes precedence for that engagement.

1. Our services

The Website provides information about software development, DevOps, cloud, technical leadership, automation, artificial intelligence, support, and related professional services. Website content is provided for general information and does not itself create a professional-services relationship.

You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply where you access or use the Website.

2. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, Haaks Information Systems owns or licenses the Website, its source material, design, text, graphics, logos, and other content. These materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view, download, or print reasonable portions of the Website for personal or internal business reference. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, license, scrape, or exploit Website content for a commercial purpose without our prior written permission. Requests may be sent to [email protected].

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Website. In particular, you must not:

• use the Website for an unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its systems, or another user’s information;
• introduce malware, interfere with security, or disrupt the Website’s operation;
• use automated means to collect content or data in a way that places an unreasonable load on the Website;
• impersonate another person or submit false or misleading information; or
• infringe our rights or the rights of another person.

We may restrict or terminate access where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached.

4. Third-party websites

The Website may link to third-party websites or services. We do not control or endorse them and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or privacy practices. You use third-party services at your own discretion and subject to their terms.

5. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle personal information. By using the Website or submitting information, you acknowledge that policy.

6. Website availability and changes

We may update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time. We do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or free from errors. We may update these terms by publishing a revised version and changing the date at the top of this page.

7. Disclaimer

The Website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis for general information. Although we take reasonable care, we do not guarantee that all content is complete, current, or suitable for your particular circumstances. You should obtain appropriate professional advice before relying on Website content for a material technical, commercial, legal, or financial decision.

Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

8. Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Haaks Information Systems will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential loss arising only from your access to or use of the public Website, including loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, or data.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, or any right or liability that cannot be excluded under South African law, including applicable rights under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008. Liability relating to paid professional services is dealt with in the written agreement for those services.

9. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

You and Haaks Information Systems consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of South Africa. Where the law permits the parties to choose a particular court, proceedings relating to these terms will be brought in a court with jurisdiction in Gauteng.

This section does not prevent a consumer from exercising a right or using a dispute-resolution process available under the Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law.

10. General terms

These terms and the policies referenced in them form the agreement relating to use of the Website. If a provision is unlawful or unenforceable, it will be severed or limited only as much as necessary, without affecting the remaining provisions. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of that right.

We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, employment, agency, or joint-venture relationship between you and us.
