By using CheckZA you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
What CheckZA is
CheckZA is an independent editorial utility that organizes public information, official links, and plain-language guidance for everyday South African life admin. Unless we clearly label otherwise, we are not a government portal and not affiliated with SARS, SASSA, NSFAS, the Department of Employment and Labour, or any other state body.
Not professional advice
Content is for general information only. It is not legal, tax, financial, immigration, employment, or medical advice. Deadlines, thresholds, and processes change—always confirm requirements on the relevant official website before you act.
Outbound links
We link to third-party sites for your convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or privacy practices. Visiting external links is at your own risk.
Accuracy
We aim to keep summaries accurate and to flag “last reviewed” dates where we track updates. Errors or delays can still occur. If something looks wrong, verify with the official source.
Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the site, including by:
- Attempting to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to our systems.
- Scraping or harvesting content in a way that harms site performance or users.
- Using the site to distribute malware, spam, or unlawful material.
Intellectual property
CheckZA branding, layout, and original writing belong to the site operators unless stated otherwise. Limited quoting with attribution may be allowed under fair dealing; wholesale copying is not permitted without permission.
Disclaimer of warranties
The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CheckZA and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.
Advertising
The site may display advertising. Advertisers are responsible for their own offers. Advertising does not mean we endorse a product or service.
Changes
We may update these terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The “Last updated” date reflects the latest published version.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, subject to mandatory consumer protections that cannot be waived.
