Legal Disclaimer & Terms of Use
Welcome to CarNestSA. By accessing or using our platform, you agree to the terms outlined in this disclaimer.
CarNestSA is operated by CAR NEST SA (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2026 / 612215 / 07, South Africa.
1. Platform Nature and Role
CarNestSA is strictly a digital advertising venue. We act solely as an intermediary to link potential vehicle buyers with independent, third-party dealerships and private sellers. Private sellers list on monthly plans of R99, R150 or R199, and buyers make contact through the on-site inquiry form.
No Transaction Facilitation: CarNestSA does not sell, buy, exchange, or lease vehicles. We do not handle, process, or facilitate any financial transactions, deposits, or payment processing between buyers and sellers. All financial negotiations and payments must happen directly between you and the dealership or private seller.
No Vehicle Inspections: We do not physically or mechanically inspect, verify, or certify any vehicle advertised on our platform. We make no guarantees regarding the roadworthiness, history, safety, or mechanical condition of listed vehicles.
2. Information Accuracy
All vehicle descriptions, specifications, pricing, imagery, and availability details are provided directly by the advertising dealerships. While we expect our partners to provide honest information, CarNestSA does not verify and cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or truthfulness of any listing. Buyers are strongly encouraged to inspect vehicles in person and conduct necessary history checks before making a purchase.
3. Compliance with South African Legislation
CarNestSA is committed to operating aligned with national regulatory standards.
Consumer Protection Act (CPA): As an advertising intermediary, CarNestSA is not a party to any supply agreement or transaction. Any statutory rights, warranties, or remedies you may have under the Consumer Protection Act (No. 68 of 2008) must be exercised directly against the dealership responsible for supplying the vehicle.
Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA): We respect your privacy and process all data in strict compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (No. 4 of 2013). By using our platform to connect with a dealership, you consent to the necessary sharing of contact information required to facilitate that connection. For more details, please review our comprehensive Privacy Policy.
4. Reporting Fraudulent Listings
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward fraudulent activity, misleading advertising, or scams. If you encounter a suspicious listing, a dealership misrepresenting a vehicle, or a potential scam, please report it immediately.
