Terms of Service

[PLACEHOLDER — legal review required. Structured draft for the lawyer; not yet in force.]

1. The service

LotMaster operates auctions inside WhatsApp groups that you, the auctioneer, register with us: it reads bids, ranks them by WhatsApp server timestamp, announces winners, and issues invoices on your behalf. [PLACEHOLDER — legal review required.]

2. Your responsibilities

You are the seller of record. You are responsible for the goods you auction, for honouring winning bids, for the accuracy of your listings, and for complying with the laws that apply to your sales. [PLACEHOLDER — legal review required.]

3. Acceptable use

No illegal goods, no shill bidding, no manipulation of your own auctions. We may suspend service where we see abuse. [PLACEHOLDER — legal review required.]

4. WhatsApp and availability

LotMaster is not affiliated with WhatsApp. Automation carries platform risk, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. [PLACEHOLDER — legal review required.]

5. Fees and billing

Plans are billed monthly or annually in South African rand as published on the pricing page. [PLACEHOLDER — legal review required.]

6. Liability

[PLACEHOLDER — limitation of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution to be drafted by legal counsel.]
