The ground rules

Terms of use

Last updated: 9 September 2026. By using Wize Owl SA, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

What Wize Owl publishes

Wize Owl provides concise, source-linked summaries of material reported or posted elsewhere. We identify and link the original source so readers can inspect the underlying publication. A summary is not a substitute for the full report, and linking to a social post does not independently confirm every claim in that post.

No professional advice

News, finance, business, technology and sports content is provided for general information. It is not financial, investment, legal, medical or other professional advice. Verify time-sensitive information with the original source or an appropriately qualified professional before acting.

Accuracy, corrections and availability

We aim to attribute sources clearly and represent their reporting fairly, but information may change, contain errors or become unavailable. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that every item will remain current. Please use our corrections process if something needs attention.

External links and media

External websites and social platforms are operated by third parties under their own terms. Wize Owl is not responsible for their availability, security or content. Publisher names, trademarks and credited media remain the property of their respective owners. Original Wize Owl branding, writing and artwork may not be republished commercially without permission.

Advertising

Advertising and sponsored placements should be distinguishable from editorial content. An advertisement is the advertiser's communication and does not automatically represent an endorsement by Wize Owl. Separate campaign terms may apply to advertisers.

Acceptable use

You may not misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with its operation, introduce malicious code, collect personal information unlawfully, or reproduce substantial portions of the service in a way that infringes rights or misrepresents Wize Owl.

Liability

To the extent permitted by South African law, Wize Owl is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from reliance on website content, external services or temporary unavailability. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or responsibilities that cannot legally be excluded.

South African law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Questions about these terms, content permissions or advertising can be sent to sales@wizeowl.today.
