V-GLOBAL CONSTRUCTION

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Effective date: 11 October 2026
Last updated: 11 October 2026
Website: https://www.vglobalconstruction.co.za

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of the V-Global Construction website.

V-Global Construction operates an online construction directory where suppliers and contractors can advertise their businesses, alongside construction-related information, calculators and digital products available through the online store.

By using the website, submitting a business listing or purchasing a product or subscription, you agree to the applicable terms. Mandatory rights under South African law remain unaffected.

2. Our Role

V-Global Construction provides an advertising and information platform. We are not ordinarily a party to agreements entered into between listed suppliers, contractors and their customers.

V-Global Construction does not itself guarantee that a listed business is qualified, accredited, insured, financially sound, available or capable of completing a project.

Customers and businesses are responsible for conducting appropriate checks and entering into their own agreements for construction work, materials and services.

3. Business Listings

Suppliers and contractors may purchase advertising space on V-Global Construction to promote their businesses to website visitors.

The listing price displayed at the time of purchase is the applicable price. The current advertised listing is R59 for one month, subject to the terms shown at checkout.

A listing generally allows the approved business information supplied by the subscriber to be displayed on the website. Any additional features must be expressly included in the advertised offer.

V-Global Construction does not guarantee enquiries, sales, contracts, website traffic, search-engine rankings or other commercial results.

4. Supplier and Contractor Responsibilities

Businesses must submit their own listing information and ensure that it is accurate, complete and lawful.

By submitting a listing, the business confirms that:

• It is authorised to represent the business concerned.

• Its company details, contact information, descriptions, claims and service information are accurate.

• It has the necessary permission to submit and publish any logos, photographs, documents and other content.

• It holds the registrations, licences, qualifications, permits and insurance required by law for the activities it advertises.

• It will promptly update information that becomes inaccurate or outdated.

• It will not use the directory for fraud, impersonation, misleading advertising or unlawful activities.

V-Global Construction may request additional information or supporting documents when reasonably necessary to review a listing.

5. Submission, Review and Publication

All listings are subject to review before publication.

V-Global Construction aims to publish an eligible listing within 48 calendar hours after both of the following have occurred:

1. The complete listing information and required content have been received.

2. Successful payment has been confirmed.

The 48-hour period includes weekends and public holidays.

This is a target rather than an unconditional guarantee. Incomplete submissions, payment-processing delays, suspected inaccuracies, requests for additional information or technical interruptions may delay publication.

V-Global Construction may reject a listing that is unlawful, misleading, incomplete, inappropriate or inconsistent with these Terms.

Where a listing is rejected, V-Global Construction will communicate the outcome and, where reasonably appropriate, explain whether corrections can be made.

If a listing is rejected before publication and no listing service has been supplied, V-Global Construction will refund the listing payment, subject to applicable law.

Approval confirms that the listing has passed V-Global Construction's review process. It does not constitute professional certification, independent verification of every claim, or an endorsement of the business.

6. Subscription Fees and Payment

The applicable listing fee will be displayed before purchase. The currently advertised price is R59 for one month.

The customer must review the total amount payable and the applicable payment and renewal arrangements before confirming the transaction.

Where automatic recurring billing is offered, it may only be used in accordance with the customer's valid payment authorisation and the applicable payment-provider terms.

Where a subscription requires manual renewal, the subscriber must make a new payment to continue the listing beyond the paid period.

V-Global Construction will not introduce a new subscription charge or change an existing agreed recurring charge without the notice, consent or other process required by law.

If a payment fails, V-Global Construction may notify the subscriber and suspend the listing until the payment issue is resolved.

7. Cancellation

Subscribers may cancel their listing subscription at any time without a cancellation penalty.

Cancellation may be requested through the available account-management facility or by contacting VGlobal using the published contact details.

A cancellation request will be processed within a reasonable time. Where automatic recurring billing applies, cancellation will stop future recurring charges once processed, subject to amounts lawfully due and applicable payment-processing rules.

Unless immediate removal is requested and processed, the listing may remain visible until the end of the paid period. Subscribers may request earlier removal.

Cancellation does not automatically entitle a subscriber to a refund of the unused portion of a subscription. However, statutory cooling-off rights, refunds for services not supplied, refunds due following rejection, and other mandatory consumer rights will be honoured.

8. Listing Accuracy and Moderation

Each business is responsible for the information it submits and publishes.

V-Global Construction may review, correct formatting, request amendments, suspend or remove listings where reasonably necessary to address misleading claims, unlawful content, fraud, complaints, non-payment or breaches of these Terms.

V-Global Construction may remove information that presents a credible risk to users or infringes another person's rights.

Where reasonably practicable, the affected business will be notified and given an opportunity to respond, unless immediate action is necessary.

​V-Global Construction's approving of an advertisement does not guarantee the supplier's workmanship, qualifications or reliability.

​

9. Relationship Between Businesses and Customers

Customers engage with listed businesses at their own discretion.

Before appointing a contractor or supplier, customers should independently verify relevant qualifications, registrations, references, insurance, quotations and contractual conditions.

V-Global Construction does not negotiate or conclude construction contracts on behalf of listed businesses unless a separate written agreement expressly provides otherwise.

Quotes, delivery arrangements, workmanship, warranties, safety, payment terms and project performance remain the responsibility of the relevant contracting parties.

10. Complaints About Listings

Users may report inaccurate, misleading, fraudulent or potentially unlawful listings through V-Global Constructionl's contact channels.

V-Global Construction may request evidence, contact the listed business, restrict a listing or remove it following a reasonable assessment.

V-Global Construction does not guarantee a particular complaint outcome and is not a substitute for a court, regulator or legally recognised dispute-resolution process.

Users retain the right to approach the appropriate authorities where necessary.

11. Digital Products

V-Global Construction may offer downloadable spreadsheets, templates, guides, books and other digital products through its online store.

Each product's description, price, file format and delivery method will be displayed or communicated before purchase.

Purchasers are responsible for checking product compatibility and ensuring that their devices or software can use the supplied files.

Unless otherwise stated, an original digital product is licensed to the purchaser for personal or internal business use. It may not be unlawfully copied, redistributed, resold or represented as the purchaser's original work.

Purchasing a digital product does not transfer copyright ownership.

V-Global Construction will provide reasonable assistance with legitimate delivery or file-access problems. Statutory rights relating to defective products, misdescription, non-delivery or other legally recognised grounds for a refund remain unaffected.

12. Construction Information and Calculators

Construction information, calculators, templates and educational materials are provided as general information and tools.

Results may depend on the information entered by the user and the assumptions used by the relevant tool.

They are not a substitute for professional engineering design, structural assessment, quantity surveying, legal advice, safety assessments or other specialist services.

Users must independently verify calculations and obtain appropriate professional approval before relying on results for real projects.

V-Global Construction does not warrant that general tools are suitable for every site, material, design, building regulation or project condition.

13. Intellectual Property

V-Global Construction retains ownership of, or the relevant rights to use, its website design, branding, original content and digital products.

Businesses retain ownership of content they lawfully submit.

By submitting listing content, a business grants V-Global Construction a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, display, format and use that content for operating the directory and reasonably promoting the listing.

The business confirms that it has the rights necessary to grant this licence.

The licence ends when the listing content is removed, except for lawful retention, backups, records required by law or existing materials that cannot reasonably be withdrawn immediately.

14. Privacy and Personal Information

V-Global Construction processes personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable South African legislation, including the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

Information may be used for registration, listing review, publication, payments, account administration, customer support, security and compliance with legal obligations.

Businesses must only submit personal information they are authorised to provide.

Only information intended for public display will be published. Private identity documents, payment credentials and confidential account information will not be displayed merely because they were submitted for verification.

Users may exercise their applicable rights to access, correct or request deletion of personal information, subject to lawful retention requirements.

15. Security and Website Availability

V-Global Construction takes reasonable measures to protect its website and the information it processes.

However, no online service can guarantee uninterrupted access or absolute security. The website may occasionally be unavailable due to maintenance, technical faults or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

16. Third-Party Services and Links

The website may use third-party payment services, website tools, external links or other services.

Those services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies.

V-Global Construction is not responsible for independent third-party content or conduct, except to the extent that liability arises under applicable law.

17. Prohibited Conduct

Users must not:

• Submit fraudulent, false or misleading business information.

• Impersonate another individual or business.

• Publish content without the required rights or permissions.

• Use the website for unlawful or deceptive activities.

• Attempt unauthorised access to the website, accounts or data.

• Interfere with the website's security or normal operation.

• Misuse personal information obtained through the directory.

18. Suspension and Termination

V-Global Construction may suspend or terminate a listing where reasonably necessary due to fraud, material misrepresentation, unlawful conduct, non-payment, serious safety concerns or a material breach of these Terms.

Where reasonably practicable, V-Global Construction will notify the affected subscriber and explain the reason.

Refunds following suspension or termination will be determined in accordance with the circumstances, the applicable policy and mandatory legal rights.

19. Liability

V-Global Construction aims to provide a useful directory but does not guarantee the conduct, performance, quality or reliability of independent listed businesses.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, V-Global Construction is not liable for losses caused solely by an independent listed business's acts, omissions, representations or contractual failures.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including applicable consumer rights and liability for V-Global Construction's own unlawful conduct.

20. Changes to the Website and Terms

V-Global Construction may update its website, listing features, prices and Terms from time to time.

Changes to an existing paid subscription will be communicated and implemented in accordance with the applicable agreement and legal requirements.

The terms applying to a new purchase will be made available before the customer commits to that purchase.

No amendment will retrospectively remove mandatory statutory rights.

21. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

Disputes will be handled through the applicable legal and consumer-protection processes. Nothing in these Terms prevents a user from exercising a statutory right or approaching a competent authority.
