The deal, in plain words

Who you are dealing with

Weekly Eats is run by Lefty23 (Pty) Ltd, a private company registered in South Africa under registration number 2026/706220/07, based in Cape Town. Its registered street address, which is also the address at which it accepts legal service of documents, is on the public CIPC register against that registration number and we give it to anyone who asks. Reach us at [email protected] or at weeklyeats.co.za. We belong to no self-regulatory or accreditation body and subscribe to no code of conduct, so there is no alternative dispute resolution scheme to apply to.

We take no card details and process no payments on this site. When a fee falls due we email you and tell you how to pay it; nothing is ever debited from you automatically. Your page goes live as soon as you publish your first special, before any fee is asked for. Keep the emails we send you, which confirm what you agreed and what you paid; ask us at [email protected] and we will send you a copy of that record at any time.

On the seven-day cooling-off right in section 44 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act: it does not apply here, because section 42(2)(d) excludes a service that begins with your consent before the seven days are up, and your page goes live the moment you publish. We would rather not rely on that. Listing is free, so there is nothing to give back if you leave, and you can ask us to take your page down at any time. Write to [email protected].

If you list a place

You confirm that you run the place, or act for the person who does, and that every special you publish is true on the days it says. You own or have the right to use every photo you upload. You keep your specials current: we ask you at most twice per special whether it is still on, and at most once before it starts if you set it to start later, and a special comes off the page on its end date unless you confirm it.

We show your page and your specials to diners and may pass them, with your place's public details, to partner apps and services. We may remove a special or a photo that is untrue, unlawful, or not yours, and we may take a page down that breaks these terms. We tell you when we do.

What your page says is what you typed, so you check it. After every change the portal tells you the price, the end date and the days it saved; press View your page and see that it is right. A change normally shows within a few minutes and can take longer. If your page is wrong, change it or tell us at once. What you charge a diner, and honouring a price your page shows, is between you and the diner.

We keep a dated record of every special you publish, change, confirm or withdraw, and for a change the old and the new values. Ask and we send you a copy. If you and we ever disagree about what was changed and when, we both start from that record, and either of us may show that it is wrong.

What it costs

Listing on Weekly Eats is free. We take no payment details. If we ever charge for listing, we will email you at least one month before, and you can leave without paying anything. Ask us by email at any time to take your page down.

If you are a diner

Every special is published by the place itself and shows the date the owner last confirmed it. We do not sell food and we cannot promise a special is available when you arrive. Check with the place if it matters.

The rest

We run the site with care but provide it as it is, and we are not liable for a loss that comes from relying on a special, from a special being shown wrongly, late or not at all, or from the site being unavailable. If we are ever liable to a place, it is for no more than the fees that place paid us in the three months before. Nothing in these terms takes away a right the law does not allow to be taken away. Personal information is handled as our privacy notice says. South African law applies. We may change these terms; the date below says when we last did, and a change that affects what you pay is emailed to you first.
