Terms and conditions for using Hambacompare's services

Last Updated: April 18, 2025

Welcome to Hambacompare. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Hambacompare website and services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you may not access the Service.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date of these Terms. Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting the updated Terms on the Service. You are encouraged to periodically review these Terms to stay informed of updates.

1. Service Description

Hambacompare is an insurance comparison service that allows users to compare insurance quotes from various providers in South Africa. Our Service enables you to submit your insurance requirements once and receive multiple quotes from different insurance providers.

We do not provide insurance directly or act as a broker. Hambacompare is a platform that collects information from customers and passes it on to the insurance providers that the customer specifically selects to proceed with. The actual insurance policies and any financial advice are provided by the insurance companies, not by Hambacompare. We are not authorized financial advisors and do not provide any financial or insurance advice.

2. User Accounts

When you create an account with us, you must provide information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account on our Service.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your password. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

3. User Responsibilities

By using our Service, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate and truthful information when submitting insurance requests
  • Use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms
  • Not use the Service in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Service
  • Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any parts of the Service
  • Not use the Service for any fraudulent or deceptive purposes
  • Not use the Service to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information
  • Not use the Service to advertise or offer to sell goods and services

4. Insurance Quotes and Providers

Hambacompare partners with various insurance providers to offer you multiple quotes. However, we do not guarantee:

  • That you will receive quotes from all or any specific insurance providers
  • The accuracy or completeness of the quotes provided
  • That the quotes will be the lowest available in the market
  • That you will qualify for the insurance policies quoted

The final decision to provide insurance coverage rests solely with the insurance providers. The quotes you receive through our Service are subject to verification by the insurance providers and may change based on additional information they may require.

5. Privacy and Data Protection

Your privacy is important to us. Our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference, explains how we collect, use, and protect your contact information. By using our Service, you consent to the collection and use of information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI Act) of South Africa. For more information about how we adhere to the POPI Act, please refer to our POPI Act Compliance page.
