Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 14 October 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using phiniussebatsane.com, you agree to these website terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.
2. Website Purpose
The website presents Phinius Sebatsane’s writing, speaking, training, practical community involvement and public media contributions. It also provides ways to explore books and make professional enquiries.
3. Informational Content
Content is supplied for general information and reflection. It is not personalised medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, and should not replace advice appropriate to your circumstances.
4. Intellectual Property
Text, photography, book materials and other content remain subject to the rights of their respective owners. Access to this website does not grant permission to reproduce, commercially exploit or misrepresent protected content. Contact Phinius if you wish to request permission.
5. Personal / Professional Content
Personal accounts, attributed quotations and community stories should be treated respectfully and in context. Do not use content to imply an endorsement, affiliation or partnership that has not been expressly authorised.
6. Speaking and Training Enquiries
Information you provide should be accurate and relevant to your proposed engagement. The current website forms are non-submitting previews; their validation does not mean an enquiry has been delivered.
7. No Booking Until Confirmed
An enquiry, including a future delivered form submission, does not itself confirm availability, create a speaking engagement or establish a contract. Any engagement requires separate review and express confirmation of the relevant arrangements. Fees, cancellation provisions and other engagement terms are not specified by these website terms.
8. Books and External Purchases
The website provides information and external purchase links. It does not operate an on-site book checkout or collect payment details. Prices, stock and purchase conditions should be checked with the retailer.
9. Shofar Books
Purchases made through Shofar Books are governed by that retailer’s own terms, privacy practices and applicable consumer protections. Questions about orders, payments, delivery or returns should be directed to the retailer.
10. Substack and Other External Platforms
Substack subscriptions, social-profile interactions and other external services are subject to those platforms’ terms. The website does not guarantee the availability or functionality of independently operated services.
11. External Links
Links are offered for context and convenience. A link does not imply responsibility for all content or practices on the destination. Third-party material and destinations may change.
12. User Conduct
Do not misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with its operation or send unlawful, abusive, misleading or unsolicited material through contact channels. Respect other people’s dignity, privacy and intellectual-property rights.
13. Availability and Website Changes
Content and functionality may be revised, removed or temporarily unavailable. Reasonable efforts may be made to maintain the website, but uninterrupted access and error-free operation are not guaranteed.
14. Disclaimer
Information is presented in good faith, but may contain errors or become outdated. External features and personal accounts should be considered in context. Nothing here promises a particular outcome from speaking, training, reading or community involvement.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, liability for losses arising from website use, interruption or reliance on informational content is limited. These terms do not exclude rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable consumer protections.
16. Governing Context / South Africa
These terms are intended to operate within the South African legal context and applicable South African law, without displacing mandatory protections that may apply to a visitor.
17. Changes to Terms
These terms may be updated as the website or its services change. The Last updated date identifies the current version; separate agreements for confirmed engagements remain separate from these website terms.
18. Contact
