Inclusive Brands (Pty) Ltd t/a TeamBuilder

1. Nature of Services: Facilitator & Broker Disclaimer

Inclusive Brands, trading as TeamBuilder, acts strictly as a facilitator and broker. We organize, coordinate, and arrange activities, events, camps, excursions, and programmes by connecting participants with various third-party service providers (including, but not limited to, venues, transport companies, activity operators, and caterers).

  • Independent Contractors: You acknowledge that many services are provided by independent third parties. TeamBuilder does not own or operate these facilities/services and, as such, serves only as an intermediary.

  • Limitation of Agency: While we exercise reasonable care in selecting our partners, we cannot guarantee the performance, safety, or standard of services provided by these third parties. By participating, you acknowledge that TeamBuilder is not liable for the acts, omissions, or defaults of any third-party service provider.

2. Assumption of Risk

Participants voluntarily engage in activities that may involve physical exertion, travel, and outdoor exposure. These activities carry inherent risks, including but not limited to:

  • Physical injury, illness, or medical emergencies.

  • Environmental hazards (e.g., weather, wildlife, terrain).

  • Risks associated with third-party transport, accommodation, and venue facilities.

Participants/guardians acknowledge these risks and voluntarily assume full responsibility for them.

To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, you hereby indemnify and hold harmless Inclusive Brands (t/a TeamBuilder), including its directors, employees, contractors, and agents, from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, or costs (including legal fees) arising from:

  • Any injury, death, loss, or damage sustained during or related to any activity.
