  • Does not replace professional judgement — always consult a qualified accountant, auditor, or financial adviser before making significant financial decisions
  • Is based on the data you provide — incomplete or inaccurate input data will produce unreliable results

13. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of South Africa. The parties agree to first attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation before pursuing legal action.
