HandyGuy – Service Provider Advertising Platform
Effective Date: 27 December 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to HandyGuy (“the Platform”, “we”, “us”, “our”).
HandyGuy is an online advertising and directory platform that allows service providers to advertise their services and allows customers to discover service providers.
By accessing, registering, advertising, or submitting a listing on HandyGuy, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Policy, and all applicable South African laws.
