Terms of use

These Terms of Use apply to the Modern Equipment website and all online material made available through it. By using the site, you agree to these terms and to the lawful use of the information provided.

1. Acceptance of these website terms

This website is operated for Modern Equipment by Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd. The site is intended to provide general information about our products, services and contact details for customers in Kimberley, the Northern Cape and surrounding areas.

By accessing, browsing or submitting an enquiry through the website, you confirm that you have read these Terms of Use and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

2. Permitted use of the site content

All text, images, layouts, graphics, downloadable files and other content on this site are provided for ordinary business use only. You may view the pages, print reasonable extracts for your own records, and use the contact details to arrange quotations or service requests.

  • You may not copy, publish or distribute site content for commercial use without written permission.
  • You may not alter, remove or obscure any copyright, notice or contact detail shown on the site.
  • You may not use the site in a way that interferes with normal operation or security.

Any misuse of the website, including unauthorised scraping, false enquiries or attempts to access restricted systems, is not allowed.

3. Product, service and stock information

Modern Equipment supplies air-conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation, water pumps, auto aircon, solar power and HVAC tools from New Park, Kimberley. Information on the site is meant to be helpful, but it may change without notice as stock, pricing, availability and service schedules change from time to time.

We aim to keep details practical and current, however some items may be subject to supplier lead times, seasonal demand, municipal requirements or site specific conditions. Photos and descriptions are for general guidance and may not reflect every model or installation method available.

  • Quotations remain subject to written confirmation.
  • Technical advice should be checked against the actual site conditions.
  • Final pricing may change if quantities, labour, access or materials change.

4. Enquiries, quotations and service bookings

Submitting an enquiry through the website does not create a binding contract. A contract only comes into effect once we confirm the scope, price, timing and any special conditions in writing. This applies to aircon installation, refrigeration repairs, cold room builds, ventilation installations, pump repairs, solar backup installation, auto aircon service and commissioning support.

When you ask us to attend a site, you must give accurate information about the location, access, equipment condition and any safety concerns. If the site is in Roodepan, Galeshewe, Kuruman, Upington or elsewhere in the region, travel time and call-out arrangements may apply.

5. Your responsibilities when using our services

You agree to use the site and any services arranged through it lawfully and with proper authority. If you are booking work on a property, vehicle, shop, workshop or municipal site, you must confirm that you have permission to request the work.

  • Keep your contact details correct so we can confirm bookings and updates.
  • Provide safe access to equipment, roofs, plant rooms and service areas.
  • Follow any instructions given by our team during installation, repair or commissioning.
  • Notify us of hazards such as live wiring, refrigerant leaks, water damage or limited access.

Where site rules, body corporate rules or municipal requirements apply, it remains your responsibility to ensure those rules are observed before work starts.

6. Limitation of liability and website availability

We take reasonable care to keep the site available and accurate, but we do not guarantee that it will always be free of interruptions, errors or delays. Access may be affected by maintenance, network issues, load-shedding, hosting problems or events beyond our control.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Modern Equipment and Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd are not liable for losses arising from the use of, or inability to use, the site, including indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms removes any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

7. Governing law and contact details

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of South Africa. Any dispute relating to the website or its use will be dealt with under South African law and the relevant courts or forums having jurisdiction.

For questions about these terms, website content or an online enquiry, please contact Modern Equipment at info@modernequipment.co.za. Our base is in New Park, Kimberley, and we serve customers across Kimberley and the Northern Cape.
