1. Pallidus e–mail disclaimer
1.1. The following terms shall apply to this e–mail communication, attachments and all subsequent e–
mail communications and attachments, collectively referred to as the electronic message,
PALLIDUS GROUP HOLDINGS PROPRIETARY LIMITED (registration number: 2020/188982/07) or
any of its subsidiaries (“Pallidus”) may send to you, the receiver.
1.2. This e–mail disclaimer shall at all times take precedence over any other e–mail disclaimer(s).
1.3. The information contained in this electronic message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
It is intended solely for the use of the receiver (individual or entity) to whom Pallidus has addressed
the electronic message to and others authorised by Pallidus to receive it. If you are not the
intended receiver you are hereby notified that any disclosure, copying, distribution or taking action
in reliance of the contents of this information is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful. If you are
not the intended receiver of this e–mail (or such person’s authorised representative), then please
notify the sender of this e–mail immediately by return e–mail, facsimile or telephone and delete
this message from your system. You may not print, store, forward or copy this message or any part
thereof or disclose or cause information in this message to be disclosed to any other person.
Pallidus is not liable for the improper or incomplete transmission of the information contained in
this electronic message, or for any delay in its receipt.
1.4. Pallidus is not liable for any harm or loss resulting from malicious software code or viruses in this
e–mail or its attachments, including data corruption resulting there from. Pallidus puts the security
of its clients at a high priority. Therefore, we have put efforts into ensuring that this e–mail is error
and virus–free. Unfortunately, full security of the e–mail cannot be ensured as, despite our efforts,
the data included in e–mails could be infected, intercepted, or corrupted. Therefore, the recipient
should check the email for threats with proper software, as Pallidus does not accept liability for
any damage inflicted by viewing the content of this e–mail.
1.5. Any advice or information contained in this e–mail is subject also to any governing agreement
between us. Only a director, the managing director, the chief operating officer, the chief financial
officer, a senior manager or an individual expressly authorised in writing by any of the
aforementioned capacities for a specific transaction AND for a determinable period, acting within
the scope of their authority, is able to bind Pallidus contractually. A general authority granted in
terms of a delegation of authority or resolution or any other similar document shall not confer the
required authority to bind Pallidus unless specifically stated otherwise.
1.6. Unless expressly indicated as such, nothing in this e–mail constitutes an offer, warranty or
representation from Pallidus. Pallidus expressly contracts out of sections 22 – 26 of the Electronic
Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 (“ECTA”). No electronic communication
including any data message such as an e–mail or SMS, sent or received will give rise to a binding
legal transaction. All legal transactions which are to be entered into with Pallidus must be
concluded in accordance with Pallidus’ standard contract policy. Pallidus shall not be liable if any
variation is affected to any document or correspondence emailed unless that variation has been
approved in writing and signed by an authorised company representative. Use of scanned versions
of hand–rendered signatures to give the impression that an e–mail has been “signed” by the sender,
is not permitted by Pallidus and the inclusion of such a “signature” is of no additional force or
effect.
1.7. In accordance with the ECTA, an e–mail is only deemed to be received by Pallidus once Pallidus
acknowledges receipt thereof. Pallidus will be deemed to have sent an e–mail once reflected as
sent on Pallidus’ e–mail server. An auto–reply shall not constitute a response for the purposes
hereof. If this electronic message contains offensive, derogatory or defamatory statements or
materials, it means the message has been sent outside the sender’s scope of employment with
Pallidus and only the sender can be held liable in his/her personal capacity.
1.8. Pallidus respects your privacy and acknowledge that this e–mail will contain personal details, which
may belong to you, others and/or to your company (personal information). By sending Pallidus this
email communication, you expressly give Pallidus consent to process and further process the
personal information which will be done in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information
Act 4 of 2013 (“POPIA”), and Pallidus’ standard section 18 informed consent documentation which
sets out why Pallidus needs the personal information, what Pallidus will do with it, and with whom
Pallidus will share it.
1.9. This e–mail disclaimer shall be governed by the law of South Africa. Any dispute arising from or in
connection with this disclaimer shall be resolved at Pretoria in accordance with the Rules of the
Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa by an independent appointed arbitrator.
