PAIA (PROMOTION OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION ACT)

This Act, which came into force in 2000, provides that a requester must be given access to any record of a private body if — (a) that record is required for the exercise or protection of any rights; (b) that person complies with the procedural requirements in this Act relating to a request for access to that record; and (c) access to that record is not refused in terms of any ground for refusal contemplated in the Act. We are required to develop a PAIA manual (our manual was prepared by Fasken attorneys at the time and is updated by Legal as and when required). We are required to display the manual on our website and keep a hard copy at our registered office.

POPIA (PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION ACT)

In our conditions of contract and other agreements, we refer people to our privacy notice which informs individuals about how their personal information is collected, used, and protected. It details the types of data collected, the purposes for collection, and how the data is processed and also outlines user rights, such as the right to access, correct, or delete their data, and how to exercise these rights.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT

Our latest conditions of purchase and conditions of sale are displayed on our website. This is important to ensure that there is no argument later as to whether the conditions were available for inspection in cases where the supplier does not sign our conditions.
