Terms & conditions
Plain-English rules for using finfluencer.co.za and taking part in Finfluencer Awards 2027.
Last updated 9 November 2026
These terms apply to the Finfluencer Awards 2027 website and related forms. The organiser is the Finfluencer Awards (“we”, “us”). By using this site or submitting a form, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. What the awards are
The Finfluencer Awards celebrate financial education and content quality in South Africa. They do not score investment performance, returns, stock picks, trading signals or specific financial products. Nothing on this site is financial advice.
2. Entries and nominations
You may enter yourself or nominate someone else. Information you submit must be accurate and submitted in good faith. We may ask for more detail, refuse incomplete entries, or remove entries that breach these terms or applicable law.
3. Eligibility and conduct
- Awards recognise education and content quality — not investment performance.
- Nominees must disclose paid partnerships and sponsorships on their content.
- Creators who give financial advice must hold a valid FSP number, which may be checked against the FSCA register.
- We may exclude or withdraw nominations that mislead, fail disclosure expectations, or breach South African law.
4. Voting
Where public voting applies, it is one vote per person per category (or as otherwise stated on the site). Votes are combined with an independent judging panel. We may void or ignore suspicious, automated, bulk or otherwise unfair votes. Judging panel decisions are final.
5. Dates, categories and venue
Ceremony location: Johannesburg (venue TBC). Dates, categories, prizes, judges and format may change. We will update the site when details are confirmed.
6. Partner marketing
Partner/sponsor news and offers are only sent if you separately opt in. That opt-in is never bundled into Terms acceptance. Partners and sponsors do not receive your contact details directly from us for their own marketing.
7. Intellectual property and publicity
You grant us permission to use nominee names, handles, public profile information and publicly available content for running, promoting and documenting the awards (including the website, social posts and ceremony materials), in a fair and accurate way. Site content remains owned by the Finfluencer Awards or its licensors.
8. Liability
The site is provided as a teaser and entry channel. To the fullest extent allowed by South African law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the site or participation. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have that cannot be excluded by law.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. South African courts have jurisdiction.
