Terms of use
Last updated: [DATE]
These terms apply to everyone who uses the PartsPick SA app or website. By using PartsPick SA you agree to them. PartsPick SA is operated by [OWNER FULL NAME / COMPANY NAME] ("we", "us").
1. What PartsPick SA does
PartsPick SA helps buyers find used vehicle parts and puts them in contact with sellers. We do not buy, sell, own or deliver the parts. Every sale is an agreement between the buyer and the seller only. Payment, delivery, returns and guarantees are arranged between them.
2. Your account
- You must be 18 or older.
- Keep your account to yourself. You are responsible for what happens on it.
- Sellers must use their own cellphone number, verified with an SMS code.
3. Rules for sellers
- Only list parts you are allowed to sell. Never list stolen parts.
- Describe parts honestly: the right car, the right part, the real condition, and real photos of that part.
- Businesses that deal in second-hand goods must comply with the Second-Hand Goods Act 6 of 2009, including registration and record keeping.
- Keep your listings up to date: mark parts as sold or reserved.
- Do not put phone numbers, email addresses or links in notes. Buyers contact you through the app.
4. Rules for everyone
Do not upload or post anything that is illegal, offensive, sexual, violent, misleading, or that does not belong to you, and do not use PartsPick SA to harass, scam or spam anyone.
5. The "Registered dealer ✓" badge
The badge means that we have seen a second-hand goods dealer certificate that looked valid at the time, with a matching registration number and business details. It is not a guarantee of the seller, the parts or the transaction.
6. Contact fees and seller plans
- Searching is free. Buyers get a number of free seller contacts; after that, a paid pass may be needed. Prices are shown in the app before you pay.
- Selling is free during our launch period. If seller plans are introduced, we will tell sellers in advance.
7. Photos and content you add
You keep ownership of your photos and text. You allow us to show them in the app and on the website, and to use photos of vehicles and parts as reference pictures in PartsPick SA. You confirm that you have the right to upload them.
8. Reports, removal and suspension
Anyone can report a listing. Reported listings may be hidden while we check them. We may remove listings and suspend or close accounts that break these terms. Where the law requires it, for example for stolen goods or illegal content, we may report it to the authorities and keep the information as evidence.
9. Our responsibility
We try to keep PartsPick SA working and accurate, but we cannot guarantee that it is always available, that listings are correct, or that a seller or buyer will act as promised. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for losses that come from transactions between buyers and sellers. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act where it applies.
10. Privacy
How we handle personal information is explained in our privacy policy.
11. Changes and law
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. South African law applies.
