These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Inside Politics website and our digital subscription services. By accessing the website, creating an account or purchasing a subscription, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them together with our Refund and Cancellation Policy and our Privacy Policy, both published on this website, which form part of these Terms.
1. About us
Inside Politics is a South African digital news publication. Questions about these Terms can be sent to sibandzetk88@gmail.com.
2. Our service
We publish news, analysis and related editorial content. Some content is free to read; premium content and unrestricted access to the site require a paid subscription. We may, at our discretion, offer metered access (a limited number of free premium articles per period). Metered access is a promotional benefit and may be changed or withdrawn at any time.
3. Accounts and registration
- You must provide accurate, current information when creating an account and keep it up to date.
- Your account and subscription are personal to you. Keep your login credentials confidential and do not share them.
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts used in breach of these Terms.
4. Subscriptions, billing and automatic renewal
- Subscription fees are billed in advance in South African Rand (ZAR) at the price and billing interval displayed at checkout (for example monthly, or every 3, 6, 12 or 24 months).
- Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, and your payment method is charged the then-current subscription price, until you cancel.
- Payments are processed securely by Payfast (Pty) Ltd. We do not store your card details on our servers.
- Prices include VAT where applicable.
5. Free trials
Where a free trial is offered, its duration is disclosed at sign-up. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your first subscription payment is charged automatically when the trial expires and your subscription then renews as described above. Free trials are limited to one per person and we may withdraw or amend trial offers at any time.
6. Price changes
We may change subscription prices from time to time. We will give you at least 30 days’ notice of a price change by email or by prominent notice on the website. The new price applies from your next billing period after the notice period. If you do not accept a price change, you may cancel your subscription before it takes effect.
7. Cancellation and refunds
You may cancel your subscription at any time from the My Account → Subscription area of this website, or by contacting us at sibandzetk88@gmail.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid billing period and you retain access until then. Refunds are governed by our Refund and Cancellation Policy, published on this website.

We strive to keep the website available and its content accurate, but to the extent permitted by law the service is provided “as is” and we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. Content is provided for general information and does not constitute professional, financial or legal advice.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law (including the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008), our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with your use of the service is limited to the subscription fees you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. Changes to these Terms
We may amend these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified on the website or by email. Your continued use of the service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.
