Legal
Terms of Use
Last updated 21 June 2026
These terms govern your use of the Plant X marketplace. By creating an account or using the platform, you agree to them.
1. Accounts
You must provide accurate information and keep your login secure. Owners and renters must complete verification before transacting. You are responsible for activity under your account.
2. The marketplace
Plant X connects equipment owners with renters and facilitates bookings and escrow-backed payments. Owners are responsible for the accuracy, condition, compliance and availability of their listings; renters are responsible for using equipment lawfully and returning it as agreed.
3. Bookings & payments
Booking totals — rental, deposit, delivery and any fees — are shown before you confirm. Payments are processed by our payment provider and released from escrow according to the rental lifecycle. Cancellations, deposits and settlements follow the terms shown at booking.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the platform for unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purposes.
- List equipment you are not entitled to rent out, or misrepresent it.
- Attempt to circumvent verification, payments or platform security.
- Interfere with the platform or other users.
5. Liability
Plant X provides the marketplace “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for the condition or performance of equipment, for disputes between users, or for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under South African law, including the Consumer Protection Act.
6. Privacy
Our handling of your personal information is described in our Privacy Policy and POPIA rights page.
7. Changes & contact
We may update these terms; material changes will be notified in the app. Questions? Contact support@plantx.co.za.
