Plain-English summary: our website content and tools are general information, not advice. Fixed fees are quoted upfront with third-party costs shown separately, and timelines are estimates because regulators and courts set their own pace.
We collect only what we need to answer your enquiry or run your matter, we never sell your information, and you can ask us to show, correct or delete it by emailing support@dlegal.co.za.
Approved refunds are paid out at month end. Requests made after the 25th of a month are processed at the end of the following month.
These terms govern your use of www.dlegal.co.za and any online tool, calculator, application form or document-signing flow on it. By using the site you confirm that you have read and accepted these terms.
This single document covers our terms of service, our privacy practices under POPIA, and our refund policy. If we are formally instructed on a matter, a separate engagement letter or mandate will apply to that work. Where that document conflicts with these terms, the engagement letter or mandate takes precedence for that matter.
Dynamic Legal Services (Pty) Ltd provides legal advisory services in South Africa, including:
The content, guides, blog posts, calculators, valuation outputs and assessment results on this site are general information only. They are not legal, financial or tax advice and they do not create a client relationship.
Do not act on anything you read here without a consultation. Every matter turns on its own facts.
We work on fixed fees. Any fee shown on the website is the fee for the scope described alongside it. We do not bill by the hour for scoped work.
Third-party costs are separate and are stated before you commit. These may include statutory or filing fees, regulator or verification-agency fees, sheriff or advertising costs, security bond costs and courier costs.
Success fees, where they apply, are set out in the relevant mandate. Percentage-based fees are calculated on the transaction value defined in that mandate.
Quotes are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise. Fees are payable as set out in your engagement letter, and work begins once the agreed deposit or fixed fee is received.
We deal with refund requests fairly and on a fixed monthly cycle so that both sides know exactly when money moves.
We are not responsible for outcomes, delays or losses caused by information that was incomplete, late or incorrect.
Any timeline we publish or quote is an estimate based on typical matters where documents are complete and third parties respond normally. Court rolls, regulators, master's office queues, verification agencies and creditors are outside our control.
We do not guarantee any particular outcome, approval, licence, sale or result. We commit to the process, the standard of work and the fee.
Some of our documents, including non-disclosure agreements and mandates, may be accepted and signed electronically. An electronic signature applied through our site is a valid signature in terms of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 and is binding on you.
We keep a record of the signature, including date, time and IP address. You are responsible for the accuracy of the details you enter and for keeping any access credentials confidential.
PDFs generated by our tools are records of what you submitted. They are not a substitute for advice or for a filed document.
Our valuation tool, fee calculators and eligibility assessments produce indicative estimates from the figures you enter. They use standard market assumptions and cannot see the detail of your business, your contracts or your balance sheet.
They are not a formal valuation, an audit, a fairness opinion or a quote for third-party costs, and must not be used for accounting, tax, court or financing purposes.
We process personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). Dynamic Legal Services (Pty) Ltd is the responsible party. We only ask for what we need to do the work or to answer your enquiry.
We rely on your consent for marketing and for non-essential cookies. We rely on the performance of our engagement with you for work you have instructed. We rely on our legal obligations for verification, tax and record-keeping. We rely on our legitimate interests for website security, fraud prevention and service improvement.
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing we are legally required to continue.
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. We share information only where it is necessary to do the work or to run our business:
No system is completely immune to risk. If a security compromise affects your personal information we will notify you and the Information Regulator as required by POPIA.
To exercise any of these rights, email support@dlegal.co.za. We respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity first.
Information Regulator (South Africa): complaints.IR@inforegulator.org.za.
Our services are aimed at businesses and their directors. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Information you share with us in the course of an enquiry or a matter is treated as confidential and is only shared with the people who need it to do the work, or where the law requires disclosure.
The site, our copy, layouts, templates, document generators, calculators and branding belong to Dynamic Legal Services (Pty) Ltd. You may view and print pages for your own business use.
You may not copy, scrape, republish, resell or reverse-engineer any part of the site, our tools or our documents without written permission.
The site links to regulators, payment providers and other third parties. We do not control those sites or services and are not responsible for their content, availability or terms. Payments made through a third-party payment provider are subject to that provider's terms.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business opportunity or loss of data arising from your use of this website or reliance on its general content.
Where we are liable in connection with a matter we have been instructed on, our liability is limited to the professional fees paid to us for that matter, unless a higher amount is agreed in writing or required by law.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud.
You may end an engagement at any time in writing. We may decline or end an engagement where verification cannot be completed, where instructions are unlawful or unethical, where there is a conflict of interest, or where agreed fees are unpaid.
On termination, fees for work already performed and third-party costs already incurred remain payable. Any balance due back to you follows the refund cycle set out above.
Raise any concern with us first at support@dlegal.co.za. We acknowledge complaints within 5 business days and aim to resolve them within 20 business days.
If a dispute cannot be resolved, the parties will attempt mediation before litigation. These terms are governed by South African law and the South African courts have jurisdiction.
We may update these terms, our privacy practices and our refund policy as our services and the law change. The version on this page, with its effective date, is the version that applies. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the updated terms.
