The rules for using this website and our map application.
Last updated: 25 September 2026
These terms apply to your use of the EarthSense-Geospatial website and its map application (together, the “site”). By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. About us
The site is operated by EarthSense-Geospatial Incorporated, 192 Bram Fischer Drive, Ferndale, Randburg, 2194, South Africa (earthsensegeo@gmail.com, +27 73 650 2176).
2. Information on the site
Content on the site is provided for general information about our services. Quotes, advice and professional survey work are provided only under a separate written appointment or agreement.
3. Map application and spatial data
- Cadastral, beacon, geodetic control, terrain and other data shown in the map app come from public and third-party sources (including the Chief Surveyor-General, TrigNet / CD: NGI and base-map providers) and our own records. They may be incomplete, out of date or inaccurate.
- The map app, its measurements, conversions and exports are tools for planning and information. They are not a substitute for official Surveyor-General records, registered diagrams and general plans, deeds office records or a survey by a registered professional land surveyor, and must not be relied on for boundary, legal, engineering or financial decisions.
- Some features need an account. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for activity under your account. We may suspend accounts that misuse the site.
- Downloads are subject to the licence terms of the underlying data providers.
4. Acceptable use
Do not misuse the site, including by attempting to gain unauthorised access, overloading or scraping it in bulk, interfering with its security, uploading malicious files, or using it for any unlawful purpose.
5. Intellectual property
The site’s design, text, graphics, logos and software belong to EarthSense-Geospatial or its licensors. Third-party logos and data remain the property of their owners. You may view and print pages for your own use; any other copying or reuse needs our written permission.
6. Liability
The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, including the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 where it applies, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of, or inability to use, the site or reliance on its content or data. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
