Terms of use

Last updated 28 September 2026. These terms are a contract between you and Webbex Solutions (Pty) Ltd. By using Uni Markets you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. Who we are

Uni Markets is operated by Webbex Solutions (Pty) Ltd, a private company registered in South Africa, registration number 2026/690092/07.

• Email: kekanakarabouf@gmail.com
• Phone: 060 892 1150
• Website: www.unimarkets.co.za

In these terms, "we", "us" and "Uni Markets" mean Webbex Solutions (Pty) Ltd. "You" means anyone using the site, whether you are buying, selling, tutoring or just browsing.

2. What Uni Markets is, and what it is not

Uni Markets is a noticeboard. It lets students on a campus find each other: student businesses list what they sell, tutors list what they teach, and buyers and students contact them directly, usually on WhatsApp.

We are not the seller, and we are not the tutor. When you buy something or book a session, the agreement is between you and that person. We are not a party to it. We do not own, make, inspect, store or deliver anything listed, and we are not present at any tutoring session.

Approving a store or a tutor means we have looked at the listing and it appears to be a genuine student business or tutor. It is not a background check. We do not verify qualifications, run criminal record checks, or confirm that anyone is who they say they are. A "verified" badge means only that we have had some contact with that person — nothing more.

3. Your account

• You must be 18 or older to sell, tutor or book on Uni Markets. If you are under 18, you may only use the site with the consent of your parent or guardian, who takes responsibility for your use.
• Give accurate details, and keep them up to date.
• Keep your password to yourself. Anything done from your account is treated as done by you.
• One person, one account. Do not register on someone else's behalf without their permission.

4. Buying

• Prices, descriptions and photographs are supplied by the seller. If something is wrong, the seller is responsible for it, not us.
• Payment for goods is arranged directly between you and the seller. Money for a product order does not pass through Uni Markets.
• Your rights under the Consumer Protection Act apply against the seller. We will help where we reasonably can, but we cannot refund you for a purchase we never received money for.
• Meet in a public place on or near campus, and check what you are buying before you pay.

5. Selling

You keep everything you earn: we charge no commission on sales. In return:

• Only list what you are legally allowed to sell, and describe it honestly.
• You are responsible for your own tax, licences and permits, including anything your university requires for trading on campus.
• If you sell food, you are responsible for preparing and storing it safely and for any health requirements that apply to you.
• Honour what you advertise, and tell buyers promptly if you cannot.

You may not list: alcohol, tobacco, vapes or nicotine products; any illegal drug or substance; weapons or ammunition; prescription or counterfeit medicines; counterfeit or stolen goods; live animals; pornography or sexual services; anything that infringes someone else's rights; academic work for someone else to submit as their own; get-rich-quick, pyramid or investment schemes; or anything else prohibited by South African law or your university's rules.

6. Tutoring

Tutors on Uni Markets are independent students. They are not our employees, agents, partners or contractors. We do not set their teaching, supervise sessions, or guarantee any result.

• Academic honesty. Tutors explain and teach. Nobody may write, sit or complete assignments, tests or exams for a student. Doing so is a serious offence at every university and we will remove anyone who offers or asks for it.
• Safety. Meet in a public place such as a library or a campus venue. Tell someone where you are going. You choose whether to meet anyone, and you do so at your own risk.
• Tutors: show up on time, teach what you advertised, and keep to the rate you listed. Your tax is your own affair.
• Students' details. Tutors get each paying student's name and WhatsApp number, and can download them as a list. Use them only to tutor those students. You may add a student to a WhatsApp group for your classes, but remove anyone who asks, never share the list, never use it to sell anything else, and delete it once you stop tutoring them. This is required by POPIA.
• Students: pay through the site, arrive prepared, and cancel as early as you can.

7. Paying for tutoring, and how tutors are paid

Tutoring sessions are paid for on the site through PayFast. We never see or store your card details — PayFast handles the payment and we receive only a reference, the amount and its fee.

• We hold the money. When you pay for a session, the money sits with us. It is not the tutor's yet, and it earns no interest for anyone.
• The tutor is paid after the session. Once the session is marked as done, the full amount is owed to the tutor and we pay it over. We keep no commission.
• If the session does not happen — the tutor cancels, does not arrive, or you cancel with reasonable notice — contact us and we will refund you. Refunds go back the way they came and can take a few working days.
• If you simply do not attend without telling the tutor, we may pay the tutor for their reserved time.
• Disputes. Tell us within 14 days of the session. We will look at both sides and decide in good faith how to split or refund the amount we are holding. Our decision covers only the money we hold; it does not stop either of you taking the matter further.

8. Promoted listings

Sellers can pay to place a product in a fixed position on the home page for a set number of days. We show the position and the number of days before payment. We do not promise views, clicks or sales. If a paid placement does not run because of a fault on our side, we refund it.

9. What you post

Your photos and words stay yours. By posting them, you give us permission to show them on Uni Markets and to use them to promote the site. You confirm you have the right to post them.

We may remove any listing, post or profile, and suspend or close any account, if we believe it breaks these terms or the law, or puts others at risk. Where it is fair to do so, we will tell you why.

10. What we are responsible for, and what we are not

We provide the site as it is. We work to keep it running and accurate, but we do not promise it will always be available, error-free, or that every listing is truthful.

We are not responsible for what other people do. That includes goods that are faulty, late or never delivered; a tutor who does not arrive or does not help; anything said or done at a meeting arranged through the site; and any loss, injury or damage arising from dealings between users.

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or loss of data. Where we are liable, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in connection with that claim in the three months before it arose.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. That includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our gross negligence, for fraud, and any right you have under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 that cannot be contracted out of.

11. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of something you did on Uni Markets — what you sold, what you taught, what you posted, or a law you broke — you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses from that claim.

12. Changes

We may change these terms as the site changes. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If a change matters to you, we will say so on the site. Continuing to use Uni Markets after a change means you accept the new terms.

13. Law and disputes

South African law governs these terms. Talk to us first — kekanakarabouf@gmail.com — because almost everything is quicker to fix that way. If we cannot resolve it, the South African courts have jurisdiction, and you keep any right you have to approach the National Consumer Commission or another body with authority.
