It provides AI-powered quoting, job management, invoicing, and client tracking tools. The platform is classified as a conduit service provider under Section 73 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 (ECTA).

3. Payment Gateway & Contractor Liability

SwiftQuote AI enables contractors to embed Yoco payment links within invoices and quotes generated on the platform. The transactional and contractual relationship is strictly between the contractor and their chosen payment gateway provider (Yoco, Paystack, or any other provider the contractor uses).

SwiftQuote AI holds zero liability for payment gateway failures, failed debit orders, customer chargebacks, fraudulent transactions, or disputes between contractors and their end clients. SwiftQuote AI does not hold, process, route, or settle any end-client payments. It provides a document generation interface only.

4. Supplier Pricing Disclaimer

SwiftQuote AI provides indicative material cost benchmarks sourced from manually maintained price tables based on publicly available pricing from South African trade suppliers including, but not limited to, Plumblink, House of Plumbing, Plumb-It Online, On Tap, and Voltex.

  • SwiftQuote AI is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any commercial partnership with any supplier referenced on this platform. Supplier names and brands are used solely for pricing benchmarking purposes under nominative fair use.
  • Supplier prices displayed in AI-generated quotes are indicative estimates only — not live or guaranteed pricing. Prices are maintained manually and updated periodically. They do not constitute a quote, offer, or representation from any supplier.
  • Actual material prices will vary by supplier branch, province, stock availability, trade account status, and market conditions. The contractor (user) is solely responsible for verifying current material costs directly with their supplier before submitting any quote to an end client.
  • SwiftQuote AI shall not be liable for any loss, dispute, or financial damage arising from the use of supplier pricing benchmarks in quotes or invoices.

6. Compliance Certificates, Regulatory Inspections & Pass/Fail Outcomes

SwiftQuote AI provides tools for contractors to record, store, and share compliance-related information — including Certificates of Compliance (COC), SSEG applications, and inspection records. By using these features, users acknowledge and agree that:

  • SwiftQuote AI is a document and workflow management tool only. It does not perform, certify, inspect, or validate any electrical, plumbing, solar, HVAC, landscaping, or other trade installation.
  • Whether any installation passes or fails a regulatory inspection is determined solely by the relevant authority, inspector, or statutory body — not by SwiftQuote AI.
  • The contractor (user) bears full and exclusive responsibility for ensuring that all work performed complies with the applicable South African standards, codes of practice, and regulatory requirements — including but not limited to SANS 10142-1 (electrical), SANS 10252 and 10254 (plumbing), the Electricity Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and any municipality or distributor-specific requirements.
  • SwiftQuote AI makes no representation that completing a COC or any compliance record within the platform constitutes valid certification or regulatory approval under any applicable law.
  • SwiftQuote AI shall bear no liability whatsoever for: failed inspections, rejected COCs, regulatory penalties, fines, enforcement action, property damage, bodily injury, or any other loss arising from work performed by a contractor using this platform, regardless of whether compliance records were stored on the platform.
  • All compliance records stored on the platform are self-reported by the contractor. SwiftQuote AI does not verify the accuracy, validity, or authenticity of any compliance record, certificate number, inspector credential, or test result entered by a user.
  • Users must obtain and retain original certified documentation from the relevant statutory body. SwiftQuote AI records are supplementary records only and are not a substitute for legally required documentation.

6a. AI Accuracy Disclaimer

SwiftQuote AI incorporates voice-to-text parsing and AI-assisted line item generation. Users acknowledge and agree that:

  • All AI-generated content — including itemised line items, pricing calculations, material quantities, and labour rates — is a draft output only
  • The contractor (user) bears 100% legal and final responsibility to inspect, edit, verify, and approve all generated content before transmitting any quotation or invoice to an end client
  • SwiftQuote AI makes no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of AI-generated outputs for any specific trade job, project specification, or regulatory requirement
  • SwiftQuote AI shall not be held liable for financial loss, contractual disputes, or regulatory non-compliance arising from the use of unverified AI-generated content

5. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and operating a legitimate business in South Africa to use SwiftQuote AI. By creating an account you confirm that all information you provide is accurate and up to date. We reserve the right to suspend accounts where fraudulent or inaccurate information is detected.

6. Free Plan & Paid Subscriptions

SwiftQuote AI offers a permanent free plan allowing up to 3 AI-generated quotes per month. The free plan is not a time-limited trial — it does not expire. No payment or card details are required to use the free plan. The free plan includes a watermark on all quote outputs and excludes certain features (payment links, auto follow-up reminders, compliance tracking, accounting export, and deposit split).

Paid subscriptions (Starter, Pro, Business) are available for full feature access. Every paid subscription includes a 14-day money-back guarantee from the date of the first payment — see our Refund Policy for full details. We reserve the right to modify the free plan limits at any time, with a minimum of 14 days’ notice to registered free users.

7. Subscriptions & Billing

SwiftQuote AI offers a permanent free plan and three paid tiers billed monthly in South African Rand (ZAR):

TierMonthly FeePrimary Features

By entering payment credentials on the SwiftQuote AI platform, you authorise Paystack to securely tokenise your payment credential for automatic monthly software licence billing. Subscription fees are billed in advance on your monthly billing anniversary date. SwiftQuote AI does not store raw card numbers or banking credentials — all payment data is handled exclusively by Paystack, a PCI-DSS certified gateway.

We reserve the right to change pricing with at least 30 days’ written notice by email. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance.

8. Capitec Pay — Variable Recurring Payments (VRP)

Where a user elects to pay via Capitec Pay Variable Recurring Payment (VRP), the following additional terms apply:

  • By confirming the VRP mandate in-app, you authorise SwiftQuote AI to collect recurring subscription payments via Capitec Pay up to the maximum threshold corresponding to your selected plan tier (R299, R599, or R999 per month)
  • Once a VRP mandate is confirmed, SwiftQuote AI reserves the right to pull subscription renewals automatically on each monthly billing date without issuing manual payment requests or requiring additional authorisation per transaction
  • You may cancel your VRP mandate at any time through SwiftQuote AI account settings or directly through your Capitec banking application. Cancellation will result in subscription downgrade or suspension per the cancellation terms below

9. Cancellation

You may cancel at any time via the Settings page in the app (Settings → Subscription & Billing → Cancel subscription) or by emailing hello@swiftquoteai.co.za. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current monthly billing cycle. You retain full platform access until the billing cycle end date.

If a payment attempt fails on the billing date, SwiftQuote AI will retry over a 3-day grace period. If payment is not received within the grace period, the account will be suspended and access to generated documents will be restricted until payment is resolved.

10. Cooling-Off Rights & Refunds (ECTA Section 44)

In accordance with Section 44 of ECTA and consumer protection principles:

  • Cooling-off right — users who subscribed through a direct electronic transaction have the right to cancel within 5 business days of their first paid subscription charge and may request a full refund of that charge by emailing hello@swiftquoteai.co.za
  • No pro-rata refunds — SwiftQuote AI does not issue pro-rata refunds for partial months. If you cancel mid-cycle, you retain access until the end of the paid period with no partial refund issued
  • Free plan — the free plan requires no payment or card details at any time; no charge will ever be made for free plan usage
  • 14-day money-back guarantee — subscribers who request a refund within 14 days of their first paid subscription charge and who have generated fewer than 10 quotes on the paid plan are entitled to a full refund, same-day processing, no questions asked

11. Data Protection & POPIA

The Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) designates the entity that determines the purpose and means of processing personal information as the Responsible Party. By using SwiftQuote AI, you (the contractor/user) warrant and confirm that:

  • You have obtained full, free, specific, and informed consent from your end client before uploading or entering that client’s personal information into SwiftQuote AI
  • You indemnify SwiftQuote AI against any POPIA regulatory enforcement action, civil claim, or Information Regulator complaint arising from your failure to obtain lawful consent
POPIA — Responsible Party vs Operator

Swift Quote AI (Pty) Ltd acts as an Operator under POPIA. Contractors are the Responsible Party for their end-client data and must maintain their own POPIA compliance records.

Full details of how we protect and process data are in our Privacy Policy.

12. Field Service & Dispatch (Business Tier)

The Business tier includes team assignment and field dispatch functionality. Team assignment mechanisms, dispatch notification links (sent via WhatsApp or SMS), and PWA clock-in triggers are operational productivity tools. They do not constitute continuous, invasive, or covert employee surveillance.

Contractors are responsible for ensuring that their use of dispatch and tracking features complies with applicable South African labour law, including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and the Labour Relations Act. SwiftQuote AI does not continuously track, store, or transmit real-time GPS coordinates of field workers.

13. Voice Input

The Voice Input feature uses your device’s browser speech recognition (Web Speech API). Audio is processed locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. The text transcript is treated the same as any typed job description. We do not warrant the accuracy of voice transcription — always review the text before submitting.

14. Intellectual Property

You retain full ownership of all content you create — quotes, invoices, client records, business details and job notes. By using the platform you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process and store that content solely to provide the service.

The SwiftQuote AI software, design, branding and underlying code remain our exclusive intellectual property. You may not copy, reverse-engineer, resell, sublicense or create derivative works from any part of the platform.

AI-generated quote line items are outputs produced on your behalf — you own the final quote documents you create and send.

15. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of South African law
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile or extract source code from the platform
  • Resell, sublicense or provide platform access to third parties
  • Generate fraudulent quotes or invoices
  • Attempt to access other users’ data or our systems without authorisation
  • Use automated tools to abuse the AI quote generation system
  • Upload or transmit malicious code, viruses or harmful content

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these terms, without refund.

16. Service Availability & Force Majeure

SwiftQuote AI operates on a commercially reasonable uptime basis but does not guarantee uninterrupted service availability. We shall not be liable for service outages, API timeouts, notification delivery failures, or data processing delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: load shedding, ISP outages, AWS infrastructure failures, third-party API downtime (WhatsApp Business API, Paystack), or acts of God.

In the event of a service disruption, SwiftQuote AI will notify affected users via email and the platform dashboard within 24 hours of confirmed identification of the outage.

17. Limitation of Liability

SwiftQuote AI is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, SwiftQuote AI’s total aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the total subscription fees paid by you in the three (3) months immediately preceding the date of the claim. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to: loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data, or loss of business opportunity.

18. Consumer Protection Act

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where the CPA applies, it takes precedence over any conflicting clause.

19. Dispute Resolution

If you have a complaint, contact us first at hello@swiftquoteai.co.za. We aim to acknowledge all disputes within 2 business days and resolve them within 10 business days. If we cannot resolve it directly, either party may refer it to the relevant consumer tribunal or court with jurisdiction in South Africa.

20. Changes to These Terms

We will notify you of material changes via email and in-platform notification with a minimum 14-day notice period before changes take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

21. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of South Africa.
