Important information
Website Disclaimer
This disclaimer explains the limits of the general information, digital services and external links provided through the Candid Accountants website.
1. General information only
Content on this website and in our Insights articles is provided for general information. It does not constitute accounting, tax, legal, labour, financial or other professional advice and should not be used as a substitute for advice based on your specific facts, records, obligations and deadlines.
2. No professional engagement created
Using this website, submitting a form, requesting an appointment or sending information does not by itself appoint Candid Accountants or create a professional engagement. An engagement begins only when the scope, responsibilities and applicable terms have been accepted by Candid Accountants and the client.
3. Regulatory outcomes
Candid Accountants may assist clients with SARS, CIPC, UIF, COIDA and other regulatory processes within an agreed scope. Decisions, processing times and outcomes remain under the control of the relevant authority. No refund, objection, appeal, compromise, payment arrangement, registration, deregistration or other regulatory outcome is guaranteed.
4. Accuracy and currentness
We take reasonable care when preparing website information, but legislation, interpretation, administrative practice, deadlines and digital systems may change. Information may also be incomplete when applied without a client's full circumstances. Visitors should obtain current advice before acting or deciding not to act.
5. Website availability and external links
We do not warrant uninterrupted website availability or that every third-party website will remain accessible. Links to SARS, CIPC, government bodies and other external services are provided for convenience and do not imply control of, or responsibility for, their content, availability, security or privacy practices.
6. Electronic communication and security
Internet and email communications can carry security risks. Do not provide passwords, PINs, one-time passwords or banking login credentials through public website forms. Confidential client documents should be submitted only through an authorised secure Candid Accountants process.
7. Reliance and limitation
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Candid Accountants is not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance on general website content without appropriate professional consideration of the relevant circumstances. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes a right or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Engagement terms prevail
If this website conflicts with a signed engagement letter or other formally accepted client terms, the signed engagement terms prevail for that engagement. For clarification, contact us at admin@candidaccountants.co.za or 087 012 6236.
