Terms of use

A baseline for the website. Professional services are governed by separate proposals, statements of work, and (where used) NDA/MSA in addition to this document.

1. The site and reliance

Information on this site is for general information about Barberry’s services and expertise. It is not legal, financial, or binding technical design advice. Decisions in litigation, product safety, and regulated environments require their own process — especially for expert work.

2. No agency yet

Nothing on this site creates a client–consultant or employment relationship. An engagement is formed only on mutually agreed written terms and any conflict checks in expert or sensitive matters.

3. IP

Text, design, and marks on the site (except where you hold third-party rights) remain the property of Barberry Labs. You may link to the site in good faith. Do not republish the content as if it is yours, or as an endorsement, without prior consent.

4. Submissions and contact

By sending a non-confidential first enquiry you agree we may reply and store enough context to do so. A separate NDA is required for sensitive material, especially in pre-litigation and expert candidate discussions.

5. Limit of liability (website use)

The site and static examples are provided “as is.” To the extent permitted by law, Barberry and its people are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from use of the site, third-party tools linked from the site, or the temporary unavailability of any page. Your use of the site is at your own risk.

6. Law and jurisdiction

Where not superseded by an engagement agreement, the parties aim for a neutral reading consistent with the place of Barberry’s establishment in South Africa and, where a foreign client and Barberry have chosen otherwise, that will be in the written deal.
