Terms and Conditions of advertising
No Booking Agents
Nelspruit Area Info does not advertise on behalf of accommodation booking agencies, holiday letting agents or anybody that makes bookings on behalf of an establishment for a fee. This includes management companies who let out flats on behalf of owners and private individuals who market properties for holiday letting which they themselves, do not own.
Only One Establishment per Advertisement
Nelspruit Area Info will not accept more than one establishment/ property per advertisement. If you wish to advertise more than one establishment/ property and your establishments are on the same property, you may advertise them on the same page. If they are on separate properties you need to complete application forms for each of your properties.
Multiple Properties in the Same Town or Suburb
If you own more than one establishment in the same town/ suburb, you need to advertise each property you own separately. (We might not be able to accept all your properties but we insist on full disclosure - please be up-front with us). Any advertiser found to be using the enquiries from a listed establishment on our site to fill another, unlisted establishment (without having discussed this with us beforehand), will have their ad removed immediately - no questions, no refunds. Please play fair.
Accreditation
Accommodation Establishments:
We require ALL Accommodation Establishments to be members of, affiliated with or accredited by one of the Regional or National Tourism Bureau, Tourism Associations or Accommodation Associations. (See our list of accepted accreditations in our FAQ - Accepted Accreditations.)
Travel and Tour Operators:
We require ALL Tour Operators to be members of or accredited by SATSA, THETA or FGASA.
Wedding Organisers and Service Providers:
Preference will be given to members of SAACI, WAHASA or PRISA.
Providing Accurate Information
Nelspruit Area Info strives to provide the public with Accurate, up-to-date information. Advertisers are obliged to inform us of any important changes that take place at their establishments including changes to grading, rates, services available etc. Please note that we will not list properties in areas/suburbs they are not located in, we will not list properties under categories that are not relevant to the accommodation provided and your registered business name must be used (as registered with your chosen accreditation association).
Updates & Special Offers
Updates to your advertisement/listing are done free of charge (within reason). All updates must be submitted to us in writing, no telephonic updates are accepted. Full details on how to submit updates and special offers are always available at Submit Updates.
Change of ownership
Should you sell your establishment whilst you are a member of/advertiser on the Nelspruit Area Info Network of sites it is part of our terms and conditions that you notify us to this effect. (Preferably in writing either via e-mail or by fax). The new owner will be required to complete a new application and confirm that they have read and agree to our Terms & Conditions of Advertising.
Invoices & Payment
The annual advertising fee is payable on invoice. The invoices are e-mailed to you on completion of your advertisement and are payable on presentation. Should it be necessary for us to take legal action due to non-payment of your account, you will be responsible for all legal fees incurred.
Annual Renewal
Your advertisement is valid for one full year from the date your advertisement is live on the Nelspruit Area Info sites. Approximately 2 weeks prior to your advertisement expiring you will be sent an e-mail advising that your advertisement is due for renewal. You may then cancel or renew the advertisement. It is part of our terms and conditions that you advise us if you wish to cancel. Failure to notify us of your intent to cancel amounts to a tacit renewal, in which event fees for the following year become due and enforceable.
Enquiries / Privacy Policy
Under no circumstances may advertisers send unsolicited e-mail to members of the public in response to enquiries they receive via the Nelspruit Area Info sites. This includes auto-responders advertising other products or other establishments. Any advertiser found to be violating this condition will have their advertisement removed without any discussion or refund. (Not respecting this condition negates our Privacy Policy and the promise we make to the public that their contact details will not be used for any purpose other than to respond to the enquiry they have made for the establishment they have chosen to enquire with).
Early Cancellations
Early cancellations are not eligible for any refund and advertisements cannot be "changed" from one property / company to another property / company during the advertising period, nor can advertisements be "put on hold" and then re-instated again at a later time.
