Terms of use

Last updated: 12 October 2026

This site helps you identify and apply for a Permission to Occupy (PTO) on a stand of communal land. These terms describe the simple rules that apply when you use it. Please read them before you create an account or pay anything.

1. What we offer

We present stands that the relevant Tribal Authority has released, show you the full cost up front, hold your fees in escrow, and manage your application through to a signed PTO. Nothing on this site is an offer of freehold ownership: a PTO is a right to occupy and build on communal land, granted by the authority that holds it.

2. Your account

You must be 18 or older and provide a valid email address. You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for enabling two-factor authentication. Giving false identity or address documents may result in your application being cancelled.

3. How payment and escrow work

When you apply for a stand, your fees are held in escrow and only released once your signed PTO has been issued. If the authority cannot approve your application, your fees are refunded in full under the refund guarantee. Before your signed PTO is issued, you may request a cancellation; any fees already held in escrow will be returned.

4. Our role

We are the platform that administers the application, the escrow and the paperwork. The decision to grant a PTO rests with the relevant Tribal Authority. We do not promise any particular timetable, although we will keep you informed at every step.

5. Your responsibilities

You agree to provide accurate information, to act lawfully, and not to attempt to interfere with the site or its security. You may use the information on this site for your own genuine interest in acquiring a stand, not for any other purpose.

6. Availability and limits

We work to keep the site available and accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service or that every stand will remain available. A stand is only secured once your application has been formally approved and your PTO issued.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any dispute will be dealt with through the appropriate courts of South Africa.

8. Contact

Questions about these terms can be sent to our team using the contact details on this site. We review and may update these terms from time to time; material changes will be indicated on this page.
