About these terms
These terms explain the permitted use of the Newground Projects website and its information. The website introduces our engineering and related services, projects and insights, and provides ways to contact us. Please read these terms when using it. For questions, contact reception@newground.co.za. If another general website disclaimer conflicts with these terms, these terms take priority; a separate professional appointment remains governed by its own agreement and applicable law.
Website information and engineering advice
Articles, photographs, drawings, project examples and other website material provide general information. They are not engineering designs, specifications, safety instructions, statutory approvals or advice for a particular property or project. Conditions, regulations and technical requirements vary. Obtain advice from an appropriately qualified professional who has assessed your circumstances before relying on information for design, construction, maintenance or safety decisions.
Project examples describe particular work and do not promise the same approach, cost, programme or outcome for another project. Website material may become out of date. Please contact us to confirm information relevant to a proposed appointment.
Enquiries and professional appointments
Sending an enquiry, requesting a quote or receiving an automated acknowledgement does not by itself appoint Newground Projects, create an obligation to start work or confirm that we can take on a project. Any appointment requires a separate agreement on the services, responsibilities, deliverables, fees and other applicable terms. That agreement governs the professional services and takes priority over these website terms where they differ.
The website does not provide an online checkout or accept payment for engineering services. Please use the contact details on the website to discuss a project. An enquiry form is not an emergency reporting service.
Permitted use
You may browse the website and download or print reasonable extracts for personal reference or to evaluate our services. Keep attribution and copyright notices, and do not present altered material as our work. A company profile may be shared in its unaltered form to introduce our services.
Do not use the website unlawfully, impersonate another person, submit misleading or abusive material, send spam or malicious code, bypass access controls, attempt unauthorised access, or interfere with its operation. Only authorised users may access the administration area. When submitting information, ensure it is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are entitled to share it.
Intellectual property
Website text, branding, photographs, drawings and other material belong to Newground Projects or the relevant rights holders. Except for the limited uses above or uses permitted by law, obtain permission from the relevant rights holder before copying, adapting, republishing or commercially exploiting material. Access to a project image or drawing does not give permission to use it for construction or another project's design. Third-party names and logos remain the property of their owners.
Privacy and external services
Our Privacy policy explains how the website handles personal information: https://newground.co.za/privacy-policy. These website terms do not replace that notice or provide consent to marketing.
The website may link to other sites or display third-party services, including maps. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices. A link does not by itself mean we endorse all the external site's content. We do not control their availability or changes to their content.
Availability and responsibility
We aim to provide useful, accurate information, but cannot guarantee that the website will always be available, free of errors or up to date. Access may be interrupted for maintenance, security or reasons outside our control. You should protect your own device and keep independent copies of information you need.
Responsibility for any loss connected with using this website is determined by applicable law and any relevant agreement. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, gross negligence or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, or limits rights and remedies that applicable consumer protection or other law gives you. These website terms do not limit obligations under a separate professional appointment.
Changes, applicable law and questions
We may update these terms as the website changes. The date at the top identifies the version; changes apply to future website use and do not retrospectively change an existing professional appointment.
South African law applies, subject to any mandatory rights you have under applicable law. Please contact reception@newground.co.za with a question or concern so that we can try to resolve it. This does not prevent you from approaching a competent court, regulator or other dispute-resolution body available to you by law.
