These terms govern your use of siteMargin, a cost-variance tracking tool for construction contractors. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them.
siteMargin helps contractors track project budgets, actual spend, progress against spend, payments, retention, and related records. It's a tool to support your own cost-control decisions — it doesn't replace professional quantity surveying, accounting, or legal advice, and we don't guarantee that using it will prevent cost overruns.
siteMargin is under active development. Features, pricing, and availability may change as the product develops, and you may encounter bugs or incomplete functionality. We'll do our best to communicate significant changes.
Access to siteMargin is currently invite-based. You sign in using a one-time link sent to your email — keep that email account secure, since anyone with access to it can access your siteMargin account. You're responsible for all activity that happens under your account.
Paid plans are billed monthly in advance via PayFast, our third-party payment processor. Available plans and pricing are shown on our pricing page and may change from time to time — we'll give notice of any price change before it applies to your next billing cycle.
You can cancel your subscription at any time; your access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for. Fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by law, or at our discretion in individual cases.
We don't store your card or banking details — PayFast handles payment processing under their own terms, which you also agree to when subscribing.
Any project, budget, or subcontractor data you enter into siteMargin remains yours. We process it only to provide the service to you, as described in our Privacy Policy. You're responsible for the accuracy of the data you enter and for backing up anything critical, particularly while the product is under active development.
You agree not to:
We aim to keep siteMargin available and reliable, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted access. The service is provided "as is," particularly during this early-access period, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, siteMargin and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to lost profits or business decisions made based on data in the tool. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under South African law.
You can stop using siteMargin and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if these terms are breached, or if we discontinue the service — where reasonably possible, we'll give notice first.
We may update these terms as the product evolves. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do; continued use of siteMargin after a change means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa, and any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the South African courts.
