Thank you for visiting Advicement.io.
These terms of service (the “Terms” or “ToS”) govern your access to and use of the website at advicement.io (the “Site”) and services (the “Services”) provided by Advicement Investment Services (Pty) Ltd (“we” or “our” or “Advicement”).
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the website, as by accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by the ToS. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that organization.
By accessing or otherwise using any part of the Services, including to register an account, you acknowledge your agreement to these Terms, in consideration for the mutual promises and obligations contained herein and to the exclusion (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of all other terms and/or conditions which you may purport to apply, including under any purchase order or similar document, even if they do not explicitly contradict.
You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms. You may use the Services only if you have the power to form a contract with us and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so, including if you are too young to enter into a binding contract. The Services may continue to change over time as we refine and add more features. We may stop, suspend, or modify the Services at any time without prior notice to you.
We respect your privacy, and seek to ensure that all laws are complied with and that we implement best practices when it comes to data protection and managing your personal information. We will only use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with the purpose for which it has been provided. You must ensure that the information you provide is accurate and truthful, and to tell us promptly if it changes.
By using our Services, you may provide us with information, files, and folders via our products, services and otherwise (together, “your content”). You retain full ownership to your content. We don’t claim any ownership to it. These Terms do not grant us any rights to your content or intellectual property except for the limited rights that are needed to run the Services, as explained below.
We may need your permission to do things you ask us to do with your content, for example, hosting your files, storing your files or sharing them at your direction. This includes product features visible to you, for example, image thumbnails or project previews. It also includes design choices we make to technically administer our Services, for example, how we redundantly backup data to keep it safe. You give us the permissions we need to do those things solely to provide the Services. This permission also extends to our affiliates and trusted third parties we work with to provide the Services, for example Amazon Web Services, which provides our main storage space as well as the processing capability.
You are solely responsible for your conduct, your content, and your communications with others while using the Services. For example, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you have the rights or permission needed to comply with these Terms.
We may choose to review public content for compliance with our community guidelines, but you acknowledge that we have no obligation to review or monitor any information on the Services. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, or legality of your content, user posts, or any other information you provide or may be able to access using the Services.
Although we reserve the right to stop, suspend, or modify the Services at any time without prior notice to you, we recognise that your content is important to you, and that you may wish to retrieve your content from us in this event. We will make reasonable effort to contact you in such circumstances if you have registered for an account, and aim to keep your content available for retrieval for up to 3 months.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to our service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation for any breach of law, these ToS or on good cause shown. In such an instance, your right to use this service will cease immediately. All provisions of the ToS which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
If you wish to terminate your account, you may simply discontinue using this service, or notify us of your decision and request us to delete your account.
We can’t promise that all parts of the service will be free from errors and bugs or secure at all times. As such, the services are provided “as is” and “as available”, at your own risk, without any express, implied, statutory or other warranty or condition of any kind. Without limiting the foregoing, we disclaim any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, freedom from errors and non-infringement. Neither Advicement nor its affiliates will have any responsibility for any harm to your computer system, loss or corruption of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Services. Some US states do not allow the types of disclaimers in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Advicement, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, suppliers or licensors be liable for (a) any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, regardless of legal theory, whether or not Advicement has been warned of the possibility of such damages, and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose; (b) any loss of profits, revenue, business or savings, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses, or loss or corruption of data; or (c) in respect of any claims relating to the services, an amount in aggregate that is more than the greater of R0.01 or the amounts paid by you to Advicement for the past three months of the services in question. Some us states do not allow the types of limitations in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Advicement with respect to the Services, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the Services. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights. Advicement’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. Any reference to “includes” and “including” shall mean including without limitation and general words shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are followed by particular examples intended to be embraced by the general words. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but Advicement may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services.
We shall have no liability for delays or failures in delivery or performance of our obligations to you resulting from any act, events, omissions, failures or accidents that are outside of our control including: late, defective performance or non-performance by suppliers and private or public telecommunication, computer network failures or breakdown of equipment. If a delay is caused, we will be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for performing our obligations. If the period of delay or non-performance continues for 15 days, either party may terminate by written notice.
We reserve the right to amend of replace the ToS at any time. If an amendment is material, we will seek to notify you at least 5 working days prior to such amendment taking effect. It remains in our sole discretion to determine what constitutes a material amendment. By continuing to access to use our service after the amendment becomes effective, you agree to be bound by the amended ToS.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, policies or practices of any third-party websites or services, even ones that may be linked on our website. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with the ToS of any such website.
