Submission of Content and Use of the Site

You agree to use the Site for lawful purposes only. Should you choose to access or use the Site from locations other than the Republic of South Africa, you do so at your own initiative and you are responsible for compliance with applicable laws.

You are prohibited from submitting any content which is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable, including but not limited to:

  • any content that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offence or give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, provincial, national, or international law;
  • any content that constitutes an invasion of privacy;
  • any content that is an infringement of any intellectual property right;
  • any content that contains software viruses, Trojan horses, or other computer programming routines that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information; or
  • any content that constitutes a political statement, commercial solicitation, or "Spam".

Although Caxton does not purport to review any submitted content, it reserves the right to remove any content from the Site that it deems, in its sole discretion, to be in breach of these terms and conditions or harmful in any way.

In using the Site, you warrant that you own or otherwise control all rights to the content that you may submit, that any use of such content will not cause injury or harm to any person or entity, and you indemnify Caxton, its directors, officers and employees, for all claims resulting from any submitted content.
