Directory and advertising terms

1. The service

iHARTIES is operated by Janette Moodie. Enquiries, corrections and complaints may be sent to jmoodie111@gmail.com or through the business enquiry form. Ordinary listings, search and outing suggestions are free. Businesses supply their own goods, services and bookings.

2. Listing information

“Directory entry” identifies a name, category and area found in a third-party directory. It is not independent confirmation that the business is trading or that its details are correct. “Source checked” identifies information reviewed against the linked source on the stated date. “Owner confirmed” is reserved for direct confirmation through a verified business contact. Check current prices, opening times, availability and suitability directly with the business before travelling or booking.

Names and factual references do not imply endorsement or participation. A business may request a correction, ownership check or removal without paying for advertising. Ownership is checked independently of the submitted email address.

3. Outing suggestions

Suggestions use the recorded directory information and your selected requirements. They are not reservations, opening-time checks, travel-time calculations or a guarantee of suitability. No personal planning service or booking fee is offered through the planner.

4. Monthly advertising

Local spotlight costs R299 per month. Homepage spotlight costs R799 per month. These are the full introductory charges for the stated plans. Local spotlight provides a labelled directory advert; Homepage spotlight also provides homepage placement. Each covers one offer, one revision during the paid month and an outbound-click report on request. Positions may rotate. No minimum traffic, exclusivity, enquiries, bookings or sales are promised.

The enquiry form is a request for information, not an order. A subscription begins only after the parties agree the advert, price, start date and billing particulars in writing. Supplier and invoice details, payment instructions and any required disclosures must be supplied before payment is requested. Card details are not collected on this site.

5. Renewal, cancellation and refunds

Advertising runs for successive calendar-month periods from the agreed start date. Where the following month has no corresponding date, the next period starts on that month’s last day. Renewal payments are arranged by invoice; this site does not debit accounts automatically. The advert is displayed only within a paid period.

You may cancel the next period by written notice before it starts, without an early-termination fee. Cancellation does not remove a free listing. A paid advert may run until the paid period ends unless you request earlier removal. If iHARTIES cannot provide the agreed placement, the undelivered portion will be refunded or credited at your choice. Statutory cancellation and refund rights remain unaffected.

6. Advertising standards and reporting

Adverts must be accurate, lawful and authorised by the advertiser. iHARTIES may decline or suspend misleading or unlawful material. Sponsored content is labelled and kept separate from organic search. Payment does not confer verification or alter organic ranking. Reports count outbound clicks; repeat actions and some automated activity may be included. Clicks are not proof of a sale.

7. Fair use and liability

Do not submit unlawful content, impersonate a business, send spam or attempt unauthorised access. iHARTIES is not an emergency service and does not guarantee third-party performance. Nothing in these terms excludes liability, a consumer right or a remedy which South African law does not permit to be excluded. South African law applies.
