The basis for technical enquiries and project appointments.
These terms distinguish website information, a preliminary discussion and a confirmed professional project scope.
Revision date: 11 August 2026
1. Website status
Website descriptions are general examples and not survey certificates, legal opinions, planning approvals or project-specific advice. Images are illustrative and are not represented as LandSight client sites.
2. Enquiry and appointment
Submitting the form does not create a professional appointment. Work begins only after the scope, responsible professionals, methodology, deliverables, fee, programme, assumptions, exclusions and contractual terms are accepted in writing and any required payment is received.
3. Regulated services
South African cadastral work and other reserved survey functions must be performed by appropriately registered professionals. Commercial aerial operations require applicable aviation authority and operator compliance. The project proposal identifies whether LandSight provides, coordinates or refers each regulated element; no registration is implied unless expressly stated with verifiable details.
4. Client information and access
The client must provide accurate project purpose, authority to access the site, known hazards, current design information and available records. Delays, remobilisation or revised scope may arise from inaccessible sites, unsafe conditions, missing records or material changes.
5. Accuracy and intended use
Accuracy, tolerance, coordinate reference and checking are project-specific. An output must only be used for the purpose and stage stated in its issue. Indicative, desktop or screening data must not be treated as legal, construction or final-design information.
6. Third-party data and approvals
Authority data, title information, client files and third-party datasets retain their limitations and licence conditions. LandSight cannot guarantee approval by a municipality, Surveyor-General, deeds registry, aviation authority or other decision-maker.
7. Changes and revisions
Only current issued information should be used. Client or designer changes may require recalculation, additional fieldwork and a revised fee or programme. Superseded files must be removed from active use by the receiving team.
8. Fees, cancellation and delays
The accepted proposal states fees, tax, payment, travel, cancellation, weather delay and remobilisation terms. Work may be paused for unsafe conditions, unavailable access, overdue payment or missing instructions as provided in the agreement.
9. Liability and rights
Nothing excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to mandatory law and the project agreement, outputs used outside their stated purpose, altered by others or based on undisclosed conditions remain outside LandSight’s responsibility.
10. Intellectual property and data use
The client receives the agreed licence to use deliverables for the stated project after applicable payment. Raw data, working files, third-party material and reusable methods are included only if the proposal says so.
11. Governing law
South African law applies. Disputes should first be raised through the project contact or website form in good faith, without restricting lawful access to a court or regulator.
