About KiesSlim

KiesSlim is operated by KIESSLIM (PTY) LTD (Registration No. 2026/419316/07), a company registered in South Africa. KiesSlim is a community-driven business discovery platform that allows members of the public to nominate local businesses, and allows business owners to claim, manage, and promote their listings.

Business listing accuracy

Businesses on KiesSlim are listed through owner-claimed profiles and publicly available data. Many listings have not been individually verified by KiesSlim. Business names, addresses, phone numbers, categories, operating hours, and other details may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect.

Business owners can claim their listing for free and are responsible for keeping their information accurate. KiesSlim does not guarantee the accuracy of any information provided by a business owner or a member of the public.

KiesSlim does not verify that a business is registered, licensed, insured, or otherwise compliant with any law or regulation. The presence of a business on this platform is not a representation of its legal standing, quality, or legitimacy.

Deals and promotions

Deals, specials, and promotional offers displayed on KiesSlim are posted directly by business owners. KiesSlim does not verify the accuracy, availability, or legitimacy of any deal or promotion. Prices, discounts, terms, and expiry dates are set by the business and may change without notice.

KiesSlim is not a party to any transaction between a user and a business. We do not process payments for deals or act as an intermediary in any purchase. Any dispute about a deal must be resolved directly with the business concerned.

Users should confirm deal availability and terms directly with the business before acting on any offer displayed on this platform.

Sponsored and advertised content

KiesSlim displays sponsored placements (featured business listings) that are paid for by business owners. Sponsored results are clearly labelled as “Sponsored” where they appear.

The appearance of a sponsored listing does not constitute an endorsement by KiesSlim. The same disclaimers that apply to organic listings apply equally to sponsored placements — KiesSlim does not verify the accuracy of information in sponsored listings or the quality of the services offered.

User-submitted reviews

Reviews on KiesSlim represent the personal opinions of the individuals who submitted them. KiesSlim does not endorse any review and does not verify whether the reviewer has genuinely transacted with the business or whether the statements made are accurate.

Reviews are moderated for prohibited content (hate speech, spam, personal attacks) but are not verified for factual accuracy. KiesSlim is not responsible for any loss or damage arising from reliance on a review posted on this platform.

If you are a business owner and believe a review is defamatory or fraudulent, please contact us. KiesSlim will investigate and may remove content that violates our policies, but is not obliged to remove content solely because it is unfavourable.

AI-generated content

Some business pages on KiesSlim include descriptions generated using artificial intelligence. These descriptions are based on the business category and location and are intended to provide general context only. They do not represent specific facts about any individual business — including hours, pricing, staff, qualifications, or services offered — and must not be treated as accurate or authoritative.

Business owners who have claimed their listing can replace AI-generated descriptions with their own accurate content at any time.

Payments and billing

Payments for advertising and sponsored placements on KiesSlim are processed by PayFast, a third-party payment gateway. KiesSlim does not store credit card details or bank account information. Payment processing is governed by PayFast’s own terms and privacy policy.

KiesSlim is not liable for any loss arising from a payment processing failure, unauthorised transaction, or dispute with PayFast. Any billing queries should be submitted through the contact form.

Push notifications

Users may opt in to receive push notifications from businesses they follow on KiesSlim. Notification content is created and sent by business owners. KiesSlim does not verify the accuracy of notification content and is not liable for any action taken in reliance on a notification. Users can unsubscribe from notifications at any time through their browser or device settings.

External links

KiesSlim may display links to external websites, including business websites and social media profiles provided by business owners. KiesSlim has no control over the content of external sites and is not responsible for their accuracy, safety, or availability. Visiting an external link is at the user’s own risk.

No professional advice

Nothing on KiesSlim constitutes legal, financial, medical, or any other form of professional advice. Information on this platform is provided for general discovery and informational purposes only. Always consult a qualified professional before making decisions based on information found on this platform.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable South African law, KIESSLIM (PTY) LTD, its directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss or damage of any kind arising from:

• the use of or inability to use this platform;

• any transaction or interaction between a user and a business found on this platform;
• inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information submitted by a business owner or user;
• any failure, delay, or interruption of the platform or its services;
• any unauthorised access to user data beyond our reasonable control.

Where liability cannot be excluded by law (including under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008), our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by that law.

Governing law

This disclaimer is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any dispute arising from or in connection with this disclaimer or the use of KiesSlim shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the South African courts.
