Terms of Service
Last updated: 19 July 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Sandy Gift. By creating an account or using the service you accept them.
1. WHO CAN USE SANDY GIFT
You must be at least 13 years old. To contribute money or receive payouts you must be legally able to hold and use the payment method involved.
You are responsible for your account and for keeping access to it secure.
2. YOUR CONTENT
You own what you post. You grant Sandy Gift a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, and distribute your content within the service — that is what makes wishlists visible to friends.
Do not post content that is illegal, infringes others' rights, or violates the conduct rules below. We may remove content and suspend accounts that do.
3. FUNDING, DIBS AND PAYOUTS
Contributions are gifts between users. They are voluntary and, except where the law requires otherwise, non-refundable once processed.
Contributions are paid directly into the recipient's bank account. A contribution is a cash gift towards the item shown, not a purchase or escrow: the recipient chooses how to use it, and receiving contributions does not oblige them to buy the item.
Payments are processed by Paystack. About 5% in combined processing and platform fees is deducted from each contribution before it reaches the recipient; the exact split is shown in the product.
Payouts require a linked South African bank account in your own name. You are responsible for any tax consequences of gifts you receive.
"Dibs" is a social commitment, not a payment obligation — but repeatedly calling dibs without following through may lead to restrictions.
Sandy Gift is not a party to the gift: we provide the platform, not the goods. Sellers linked from posts are independent stores we do not control.
4. CONDUCT
No harassment, hate speech, threats, or impersonation. No spam, scams, or deceptive fundraising (for example, posting wishes you do not intend as wishes, or misrepresenting who receives funds). No sexual content involving minors — this results in immediate account termination and referral to authorities (see our Child Safety Standards at /safety). No attempts to interfere with the service, other accounts, or payments.
5. SPONSORED CONTENT AND DATA
Business accounts can pay to promote posts, which are labelled "Sponsored". Our use — including sale — of data derived from your activity is described in the Privacy Policy (/privacy), which forms part of these terms.
6. TERMINATION
You can delete your account at any time in Settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, create risk for other users, or where the law requires it. Funds already in payout flow are completed unless fraud is suspected.
7. DISCLAIMERS AND LIABILITY
Sandy Gift is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law we disclaim warranties and limit our liability to the amount of platform fees you paid us in the twelve months before a claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
8. GENERAL
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. We may update them; material changes will be announced before they take effect.
