Terms of Use
1. Who operates this website
Fringe Studios is the trading name of [FULL LEGAL NAME AND LEGAL STATUS], registration number [REGISTRATION NUMBER, IF APPLICABLE], with its business address at [BUSINESS ADDRESS]. In these terms, “Fringe”, “we” and “us” refer to that operator.
These terms apply to our informational website at fringestudios.co.za and its associated website addresses. You can contact us about the website at hello@fringestudios.co.za. Our address for formal legal notices is [ADDRESS FOR SERVICE OF LEGAL NOTICES].
2. Website information and professional services
The website introduces our studio, capabilities and approach. Its content provides general information; it is not advice tailored to your organisation or a commitment to deliver a particular outcome.
Sending an enquiry starts a conversation. It does not, by itself, appoint Fringe or create a professional-services engagement. Any engagement will be governed by a separately agreed scope and service agreement. If that agreement differs from these website terms on a service matter, the service agreement applies to that matter.
The website does not provide online ordering, checkout, payments, subscriptions or customer accounts.
3. Using the website
You may browse the website and use its enquiry routes for lawful purposes. Please provide accurate contact information and only submit material you are entitled to share.
You must not attempt to compromise the site, introduce malicious code, bypass access or security controls, impersonate another person, or use automated submissions to disrupt the website or send spam. We may restrict abusive requests to protect the site and its visitors.
4. Website content and intellectual property
Website text, design, imagery and other material belong to Fringe or their respective owners. You may read, link to and retain reasonable excerpts for personal or internal business reference, with attribution, subject to applicable law. Other reuse, commercial reproduction or adaptation requires the relevant owner's permission unless the law permits it.
Third-party names, logos and marks remain the property of their owners. Their appearance does not give visitors a licence to use them or imply an endorsement beyond what the website expressly states.
5. Enquiries and your material
You retain ownership of material you send us. We use it to consider and respond to your enquiry, as explained in our Privacy Policy. Submitting an enquiry does not give us a general right to publish or commercially exploit your material.
If a conversation requires a confidentiality agreement or a dedicated method of sharing documents, we can agree those arrangements with you before you share the relevant material.
6. Availability, accuracy and external links
We aim to keep the website useful and accurate. Content may change, and the site may be interrupted for maintenance or because of technical problems. Please check information with us before relying on it for a material business decision.
External links are provided for reference. The owners of those websites control their content and services; their own terms and privacy notices apply when you use them.
7. Responsibility and applicable rights
Our responsibility for loss arising from website use is determined by applicable law. These terms do not exclude liability or limit consumer or other rights where the law does not permit that exclusion or limitation.
8. Privacy and access to records
Our Privacy Policy explains website and enquiry processing. Our PAIA manual explains how to request access to the operator's records. These documents have different purposes; using the website does not amount to consent to unrelated marketing.
9. Changes and South African law
We may update these terms when the website or our practices change. The effective date above identifies the published version. Changes apply to future website use and do not retrospectively change a separately agreed engagement.
South African law applies, subject to any mandatory rights or rules that apply to you. If a dispute arises, you can contact us first to seek a practical resolution. This does not prevent you from using a competent court or other remedy available by law.
