FMC Website Disclaimer

Effective date: 23 August 2026 | Last updated: 23 August 2026

This Website Disclaimer applies to the public website operated by Forklift Management Consulting (Pty) Ltd (“FMC”, “we”, “us” or “our”) at www.forkliftmanagement.co.za.

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Disclaimer.

This Disclaimer should be read together with FMC’s:

  • Website Terms Of Use;
  • Website Privacy Policy;
  • Website Cookie Policy; and
  • PAIA Manual.

If any provision of this Disclaimer conflicts with a binding written agreement concluded between FMC and a customer, the terms of that written agreement will apply to the extent of the conflict.

This Disclaimer applies only to FMC’s public website.

The FMC Fleet Manager platform is a separate service and does not form part of the website. Access to and use of the platform are governed by separate agreements, service terms, privacy notices and data-processing provisions.

Any description, screenshot or demonstration of the FMC Fleet Manager platform appearing on the public website is provided for general marketing and information purposes only.

Website descriptions do not replace the features, specifications, service levels, responsibilities, commercial terms or limitations recorded in an applicable customer agreement.

The content on this website is provided for general information, awareness and marketing purposes.

Although FMC aims to provide useful and accurate information, website content is not intended to constitute:

  • Legal advice;
  • Financial, accounting or tax advice;
  • Engineering or technical certification;
  • Occupational health and safety advice;
  • Regulatory or statutory compliance advice;
  • Equipment maintenance instructions;
  • Fleet-specific operational advice; or
  • A substitute for a professional assessment of a particular site, asset, fleet, contract or operational environment.

Information on the website should not be relied upon as the sole basis for making technical, safety, legal, financial, procurement, maintenance or operational decisions.

Professional advice or consulting services formally provided by FMC under a written agreement are separate from the general information published on this website.

Forklifts, batteries, charging systems and other materials-handling equipment involve operational and safety risks.

Website content must not replace:

  • Applicable legislation and regulations;
  • Occupational health and safety requirements;
  • Original equipment manufacturer instructions;
  • Equipment manuals and safety warnings;
  • Site-specific risk assessments;
  • Operator training and licensing requirements;
  • Inspection and maintenance procedures;
  • Load-test and certification requirements; or
  • Advice from appropriately qualified professionals.

Visitors and equipment owners remain responsible for ensuring that machinery is operated, inspected, maintained, repaired and tested by appropriately trained, authorised and competent persons.

FMC does not certify the safety, mechanical condition, legal compliance or suitability of any equipment merely because information about that equipment, category or service appears on the website.

The website may describe potential benefits associated with improved fleet visibility, recordkeeping, maintenance oversight, service-provider accountability, reporting and operational control.

Actual results will vary according to factors including:

  • Fleet size and composition;
  • Equipment age and condition;
  • Site conditions;
  • Operator behaviour;
  • Data quality and completeness;
  • Customer and service-provider participation;
  • Maintenance practices;
  • System configuration;
  • Connectivity and availability;
  • Contractual arrangements; and
  • The accuracy and timeliness of information supplied to FMC.

No statement on the website guarantees a specific cost saving, reduction in downtime, improvement in productivity, compliance outcome, maintenance result or return on investment.

Any examples, scenarios or potential outcomes are illustrative unless FMC expressly confirms otherwise in a binding written agreement.

FMC takes reasonable steps to keep the website informative and current. However, website content may contain errors, omissions or information that becomes outdated.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FMC does not warrant or represent that:

  • All website information is complete, accurate or current;
  • Every description will apply to every customer or operation;
  • All website functions will always be available;
  • The website will be free from errors or interruptions;
  • Identified errors will immediately be corrected; or
  • Content will always reflect the latest legal, regulatory, technical or industry developments.

FMC may update, correct, add to or remove website content without prior notice.

Visitors should contact FMC directly before relying on information that is material to a business, safety, procurement, contractual or operational decision.

Information published on the website does not constitute a binding offer, quotation, warranty, undertaking or contractual commitment by FMC.

Submitting a contact form, requesting a demonstration, sending an email or making an enquiry does not automatically create a contract or oblige FMC to provide services.

A binding agreement will arise only where the relevant terms have been agreed and accepted in writing by FMC and the customer through duly authorised representatives.

Service descriptions, proposed features, pricing references, implementation timelines and availability remain subject to confirmation in the applicable proposal, quotation or written agreement.

Photographs, equipment images, diagrams, icons, mock-ups, platform screenshots and other visual content on the website may be used for illustrative or explanatory purposes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

  • Images may not depict an actual FMC customer, customer site or managed fleet;
  • Equipment shown may not be owned, supplied, maintained or managed by FMC;
  • Platform screens may contain sample, demonstration or anonymised information;
  • Interface designs and available features may change as the platform develops; and
  • The scale, colour, condition, specification or operating environment of depicted equipment may differ from real-world applications.

Visitors should not rely on an image or illustration as confirmation of an equipment specification, operational capability, customer relationship or platform feature.

The website may refer to or display the names, products, equipment, logos or trade marks of original equipment manufacturers, dealers, service providers, battery suppliers or other third parties.

Unless FMC expressly states otherwise, these references:

  • Are made for identification, comparison or general industry-information purposes;
  • Do not indicate that FMC owns the relevant trade mark;
  • Do not imply sponsorship, endorsement or approval by the trade mark owner;
  • Do not establish an agency, partnership or authorised-dealer relationship; and
  • Do not mean that FMC recommends a particular product or provider.

All third-party trade marks, brand names and product names remain the property of their respective owners.

The website may contain links to websites, platforms, documents or services operated by third parties.

These links are provided for convenience or general information. FMC does not control and is not responsible for:

  • The availability of a third-party website;
  • The accuracy or completeness of its content;
  • Its privacy or cookie practices;
  • Its security arrangements;
  • Goods or services offered through it; or
  • Any loss arising from its use.

A link does not necessarily mean that FMC approves, endorses or has a commercial relationship with the third party.

Visitors access third-party websites and services at their own discretion and should review the applicable terms and privacy notices.

FMC aims to maintain a functional and secure website but cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

The website may be unavailable or restricted because of:

  • Planned or emergency maintenance;
  • Hosting or network failures;
  • Power interruptions;
  • Cybersecurity incidents;
  • Third-party service failures;
  • Software or plugin updates;
  • Events beyond FMC’s reasonable control; or
  • Measures required to protect FMC, its systems or website visitors.

FMC does not warrant that the website, its servers, downloadable material or electronic communications will always be free from viruses, malicious code or other harmful components.

Visitors are responsible for using appropriate security software, maintaining backups and protecting their own devices, systems and information.

Visitors are responsible for:

  • Assessing whether website information is suitable for their intended purpose;
  • Obtaining professional advice where appropriate;
  • Verifying important information before acting on it;
  • Using the website lawfully;
  • Protecting their devices and account information;
  • Avoiding the submission of unnecessary sensitive information; and
  • Complying with applicable legal, safety, operational and contractual requirements.

Website content must not be used to avoid or replace inspections, servicing, repairs, certifications, training or other legally or operationally required actions.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FMC and its directors, employees, contractors and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from or connected with:

  • Access to or use of the website;
  • An inability to access or use the website;
  • Reliance on general website content;
  • Errors, omissions or outdated information;
  • Third-party links, content or services;
  • Malicious software or cybersecurity incidents beyond FMC’s reasonable control; or
  • Decisions made without obtaining appropriate professional or site-specific advice.

This may include loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill, data or operational availability, where exclusion of that loss is permitted by law.

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes, limits or attempts to waive:

  • Liability that cannot lawfully be excluded;
  • Liability arising from FMC’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct where such liability cannot legally be excluded;
  • Rights or remedies available under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, where applicable;
  • Rights or remedies available under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002, where applicable; or
  • Any other mandatory protection provided by South African law.

Any limitation will apply only to the extent that it is fair, lawful and enforceable in the circumstances.

Messages sent through a website form, email address or other electronic channel may be delayed, intercepted, corrupted, incomplete or unsuccessful.

FMC does not guarantee that an electronic communication has been received merely because it appears to have been sent successfully.

An important or time-sensitive communication should be followed up using the telephone number provided on the website.

An electronic communication will not constitute FMC’s acceptance of a proposal, instruction, order, variation or contractual obligation unless it is confirmed by a duly authorised FMC representative.

Unless otherwise stated, the website and its original content, branding, layout, graphics, text, platform representations and other materials are owned by or licensed to FMC and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Limited use of website content may be permitted under the Website Terms Of Use.

Nothing on the website grants a visitor ownership of FMC’s intellectual property or a right to reproduce, modify, distribute, commercially exploit or misrepresent it.

Third-party intellectual property remains the property of its respective owner.

FMC may amend this Disclaimer when:

  • The website or its content changes;
  • FMC introduces new services or functionality;
  • Applicable law or regulatory guidance changes; or
  • FMC’s business or risk-management practices change.

The revised version will be published on the website and will display an updated effective date.

Visitors should review this Disclaimer periodically.

This Disclaimer is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

Any dispute relating to the website or this Disclaimer will be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent South African courts, subject to any consumer right to approach another tribunal, regulator, ombud or forum with lawful jurisdiction.
