Corporate & Statutory Governance
As a formal eCommerce entity operating within the Republic of South Africa, BillingZ (Pty) Ltd is fully compliant with all applicable national legislations. We conduct our digital trade, data processing, and consumer relations strictly under statutory frameworks.1. Consumer Protection Act (CPA), No. 68 of 2008
The CPA governs the core commercial relationship between our digital platform and our clients, securing fair, responsible business practices:
- Right to Fair Value: We ensure all platform product listings, digital specifications, parameters, and pricing frameworks are entirely accurate, transparent, and completely free of hidden checkout costs.
- Implied Warranty of Quality: Every physical product sold on our platform is backed by a standard statutory 6-month warranty protecting against manufacturing defects.
- Right to Return: Consumers are protected against unsolicited goods and maintain the absolute legal right to return defective, unsafe, or non-compliant merchandise for a full refund or replacement.
2. Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA), No. 25 of 2002
ECTA provides the legal foundation for all electronic agreements, digital signatures, transactional logs, and web-based checkout requests executed across our infrastructure:
- Cooling-Off Period: Customers enjoy a statutory 7-day cooling-off window to cancel transactions for change-of-mind reasons on eligible stock items.
- Transaction Execution: In accordance with Section 46, we are legally mandated to fulfill and deliver all orders within 30 days of payment, unless an alternative custom timeline is mutually agreed upon.
- Full Disclosure: We explicitly display our full corporate registration details, physical address, contact parameters, and complete breakdown totals before any electronic transaction is finalized.
3. Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), No. 4 of 2013
POPIA strictly regulates how our technical architecture collects, stores, routes, processes, and safeguards transactional data structures and user identities:
- Data Minimization: We only collect personal information records that are absolutely necessary to process transactions, manage accounts, and verify delivery parameters.
- Consent & Security: Your private data is encrypted, safely stored on secured servers, and never sold or rented to third parties. Marketing materials are only dispatched to users who have explicitly opted in.
- Data Subject Rights: Users maintain the legal right to request access to their stored personal info, demand corrections, or request complete deletion from our production databases.
4. Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA), No. 2 of 2000
In accordance with PAIA provisions, we maintain a comprehensive Information Manual. This statutory documentation details our company corporate structure, internal record-keeping practices, and the legal pathways through which the public, regulatory bodies, or state departments can formally request access to corporate records.
5. National Credit Act (NCA), No. 34 of 2005
To support flexible merchant checkouts, our architecture interfaces with third-party payment settlement systems:
Where our platform exposes integrated Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) payment facilities or deferred split-payment alternatives, transactions are handled through registered, compliant clearing channels. If BillingZ provisions direct, extended in-house store terms or credit parameters, operations are conducted under credit provider compliance structures mandated by the NCA, guaranteeing transparent interest caps and responsible affordability assessments.
