Nou So
Terms of Use
These terms explain how Nou So works for clients looking for help and providers offering their skills. They are written in plain language and do not take away rights you have under South African law.
Last updated: 5 September 2026
1. What Nou So does
Nou So is a marketplace that helps clients find local providers for jobs and services. We provide the platform, but the client and provider agree the job scope, price, timing and quality of the work.
Providers are independent service providers. They are not employees, agents or partners of Nou So.
2. Using the platform
You must give accurate information, keep your account secure and use Nou So lawfully and respectfully. You may not post unsafe, illegal, discriminatory, fraudulent or misleading jobs, offers, reviews or messages.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. If we reasonably believe an account creates a safety or fraud risk, we may restrict or suspend it.
3. Jobs, offers and bookings
A job post is a request for help. An offer is a provider's proposed price and terms. A booking is created only when a client accepts an offer through Nou So.
Clients should describe jobs accurately. Providers should only make offers they can reasonably complete. Both sides should use messages in the app to keep a clear record of the agreement.
4. Payments
Nouso does not collect, hold, transfer or verify payments. The client and worker agree a price and arrange payment directly between themselves.
Offers and job completion records are not proof of payment. Direct-payment arrangements and support are explained in our Payments & Refunds Policy.
5. Safety, verification and disputes
Verification helps build trust but is not a guarantee of a provider's work, identity or suitability. Use your own judgment, keep private information private, and do not agree to unsafe work.
If there is a problem, report it from the booking. Nouso can review job records and account conduct but cannot reverse private payments or guarantee recovery. Agree payment timing and the work clearly before starting.
6. Content and reviews
You keep ownership of content you upload, but allow Nou So to store and display it to operate the platform. Reviews must be honest, based on a real interaction and free from abuse or threats.
7. Contact and your legal rights
Questions or complaints can be sent to info@nouso.co.za. These terms are governed by South African law. Nothing here limits rights that cannot lawfully be limited.
