Terms of Use

1. About NextHunt

These Terms govern your use of the NextHunt platform operated by NextHunt (Pty) Ltd ("NextHunt", "we", "us"). NextHunt provides a platform that connects hunters with farm listings and supports booking requests, messaging, payments, and membership features.

We do not own or operate farms unless explicitly stated. Farms are responsible for their listings, availability, pricing, and the hunting experience.

2. Accounts

• You must provide accurate and current information.
• You are responsible for activity on your account.
• We may suspend accounts for fraud, abuse, or policy violations.

3. Booking Requests

Bookings are initiated as requests. A farm must approve a request before it is confirmed. Once approved, payment may be required within a stated time window to secure the dates.

• Farms may require a deposit or full payment before confirmation.
• Approval windows and payment deadlines apply only to the payment requirement chosen by the farm.
• If payment is not made by the deadline, the request may expire and the dates may be released.

4. Payments

Payments can be made via PayFast card processing or EFT where offered. EFT payments may require proof of payment (POP) uploads.

• Card payments are processed by PayFast and subject to their terms and security checks.
• EFT payments are recorded by farm admins and may require verification before confirmation.
• We may store payment references, POP documents, and timestamps for reconciliation and dispute handling.

5. Memberships

NextHunt offers Free, Standard, and VIP memberships with different features and pricing. Memberships may be billed monthly or annually and may renew automatically unless cancelled.

• Membership pricing and features may change over time.
• Discounts are applied where stated and may be limited to specific plans or billing cycles.
• Refunds are not guaranteed and may be considered case by case.

6. Cancellations

Cancellation policies are set by farms and shown during booking. Refunds, if any, are governed by those policies and applicable payment provider rules.

7. Messaging

NextHunt provides messaging between hunters and farms. You agree to communicate respectfully and to avoid harassment, spam, or abusive content. We may moderate or remove content that violates these Terms.

8. Reviews

Hunters and farms may be asked to leave reviews after a completed booking. Reviews should be truthful and relevant to the experience. We may remove reviews that violate policy or are clearly abusive.

9. Listings and User Content

Farms are responsible for listing accuracy. By submitting content, you grant NextHunt a non-exclusive right to display it on the platform. You represent that you have the rights to the content you submit.

10. Safety and Risk

Hunting and travel involve inherent risks. You agree to comply with all applicable laws, safety guidelines, and farm rules. Farms are responsible for onsite safety and compliance.

11. Prohibited Use

• Fraudulent bookings or payments.
• Unauthorized access or scraping of the platform.
• Content that is unlawful, hateful, or abusive.

The platform is provided "as is" without warranties. To the extent permitted by law, NextHunt is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the fees paid to us in the preceding 12 months.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold NextHunt harmless from claims arising out of your use of the platform, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

14. Changes
