Terms and conditions

The terms for using the Hanzi Systems website. They do not replace any written agreement we make with you for our services. Last updated 3 November 2026.

Using this website

By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. The website is run by Hanzi Systems, a division of Zynkosi Tech.

What you may and may not do

You may use the website to find out about our work and to contact us. You must not:

  • break the law or use the website to harm anyone
  • try to break into, disrupt or overload the website or the systems behind it
  • upload or send malicious code, or use the contact form to send spam
  • give false details or pretend to be someone else
  • copy the website to make it look like yours or to mislead people about who we are

Search engines and other automated tools may read the website if they follow our robots.txt file and do not put a heavy load on it.

Enquiries and agreements

Sending an enquiry or receiving a reply from us does not create an agreement. We provide services only under a written agreement that both sides have signed, which can be signed electronically. That agreement, and not this page, governs the services. Anything on the website about our work is a general description and not an offer.

Ownership of the content

The text, design, logos and other material on this website belong to Zynkosi Tech or the people who license them to us. You may view the website and print or share pages for your own use or for your business's internal use, as long as you keep the copyright notices. You may not copy, sell or reuse the material in other ways without our written permission.

Photographs belong to their photographers and are used under the licences of the services they come from. Software, publications and research we release are covered by the licence or terms published with them.

Information on this website

We try to keep the website accurate and up to date, but it describes research, prototypes and emerging technology that change quickly. The website is provided as it is. It is general information and not professional, legal or engineering advice, and you should not rely on it for a decision without checking with us or another qualified person.

Other websites and services

The website links to other websites and shows content from other services, such as a Google map. We do not control them and are not responsible for what they contain or how they handle information.

Our responsibility

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using this website or relying on what is on it, including indirect or consequential loss, or from the website being unavailable or containing errors. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

Privacy and cookies

Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal information, and our cookie policy explains the cookies we use and how to change your choice.

Electronic communication

You agree that we may communicate with you electronically, for example by email. To the extent the law allows, an electronic message satisfies a requirement that a communication be in writing, in line with the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002.

Changes

We may change the website and these terms. When we change the terms we will update this page and the date above, and the new terms apply from then on. If you keep using the website after that you accept them.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, and the South African courts have jurisdiction over any dispute about them.

Contact us

If you have a question about these terms, please get in touch.
