These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of the Anyspare platform by visitors, buyers, sellers, vendors, and account holders.
Terms & Conditions
1. Acceptance Of Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of the AnySpare marketplace and all related services made available on or through www.anyspare.co.za.
By accessing the platform, registering an account, listing an item, purchasing an item, placing a bid, booking a promotion, or otherwise using AnySpare, you agree to these Terms and Conditions together with any related policy pages, notices, marketplace rules, and platform procedures that apply to your use of the service.
These Terms are intended to be read in plain language and must be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
AnySpare South Africa (Pty) Ltd is a private company incorporated in South Africa under registration number 2025/584688/07, with its physical address at 41 Tiemie Cresent, Rooihuiskraal Noord, Centurion, 0157, South Africa, and its contact email address at info@anyspare.co.za.
AnySpare operates an online marketplace where users may buy, sell, advertise, promote, and source spare parts, replacement components, accessories, tools, machinery-related parts, and related goods, subject to these Terms and all other policies published on the website.
AnySpare acts primarily as a marketplace platform and intermediary technology service. Unless expressly stated otherwise in relation to a specific transaction, AnySpare is not the manufacturer, owner, importer, repairer, or direct seller of goods listed by third-party sellers. The contract of sale for a third-party marketplace listing is concluded between the buyer and the seller, and not between the buyer and AnySpare.
AnySpare may, however, provide transaction tools, payment support, promotions, trust and safety controls, delivery support options, dispute handling processes, buyer protection processes, and listing moderation services.
If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, you should not use the platform.
2. Accounts And Eligibility
To use the platform, you must be legally capable of entering into binding agreements under South African law.
If you are using the platform on behalf of a business, close corporation, trust, partnership, or other entity, you warrant that you are duly authorised to bind that entity to these Terms.
Users must provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating or maintaining an account. Account information must be kept updated at all times.
Users are responsible for all activity conducted through their account credentials and must keep login details secure. You must not allow unauthorised persons to access or use your account.
AnySpare may require verification, suspend functionality, restrict access, or close accounts where identity, fraud, safety, compliance, or marketplace integrity concerns arise.
AnySpare may suspend, restrict, or close accounts that are false, misleading, duplicated for abuse, linked to fraud, or otherwise in breach of these Terms or applicable law.
3. Listings, Bids, Orders, And Marketplace Conduct
Sellers are responsible for lawful, accurate, and non-misleading listings and for maintaining stock availability where items are published for sale.
Sellers may only list goods that they lawfully own or are lawfully authorised to sell. Sellers must ensure that listings are accurate, complete, not misleading, and contain clear information about the condition, compatibility, functionality, and material characteristics of the item.
Sellers must not list stolen goods, counterfeit goods, illegal goods, unsafe goods, or goods that infringe another person’s intellectual property or other legal rights.
AnySpare may remove any listing, request proof of ownership or source, suspend any seller account, freeze platform-controlled transactions where lawful, and cooperate with law enforcement or regulators if unlawful activity is suspected.
Buyers are responsible for reviewing listing descriptions carefully before making a purchase or placing a bid. Because many goods sold on AnySpare are spare parts and replacement components, compatibility is critical.
Buyers are responsible for reviewing listing details, fitment information, condition disclosures, pricing, delivery information, and any seller notes before committing to a purchase or bid.
Unless the seller has expressly guaranteed compatibility for a particular make, model, year, machine, or application, the buyer remains responsible for verifying compatibility before purchase.
If a buyer informs a seller of a specific purpose and relies on the seller’s recommendation, statutory consumer rights may apply depending on the nature of the seller and the transaction.
Users may not manipulate listings, bids, prices, communications, reviews, or platform workflows in a misleading, abusive, fraudulent, or anti-competitive manner.
Users must not abuse another user, interfere with the proper operation of the platform, bypass platform processes, provide false information, or use the platform for unlawful or dishonest activity.
Delivery may be arranged by the seller, the buyer, a third-party courier, or a platform-supported option where offered. Delivery estimates are not guarantees unless AnySpare expressly states otherwise.
Sellers are responsible for dispatching goods within the time stated in the listing or, if no time is stated, within a reasonable time. Buyers must inspect goods as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and report any material issue without delay.
Where a transaction qualifies for Buyer Protection under AnySpare’s Buyer Protection Policy, the buyer may submit a claim through the platform.
Where a complaint concerns defective goods, unsafe goods, goods not matching a sample or description, or other statutory consumer rights, the South African Consumer Protection Act may apply depending on the identity of the seller, the nature of the transaction, and whether the seller is acting in the ordinary course of business.
4. Payments, Fees, And Platform Rights
Registration on AnySpare is free of charge. Creating listings, uploading products, and offering goods for sale on the platform is also free of charge.
AnySpare earns revenue by deducting a percentage-based platform commission from completed sales processed through the platform. The applicable commission rate, calculation method, and any taxes, payment charges, or deductions will be shown on the platform, seller dashboard, checkout flow, or fee schedule published by AnySpare from time to time.
Platform fees, commissions, promotional charges, and other charges may apply according to the service selected or the seller arrangement in force at the time.
Sellers may also purchase optional promotional services for listings or products. Promotional services are separate paid services, are billed immediately when booked, and are generally non-refundable once activated, scheduled, delivered, or allocated.
AnySpare may offer payment services, facilitated payments, or platform payment flows through third-party providers or integrated systems.
Where AnySpare processes or facilitates a protected platform payment, AnySpare may deduct the applicable platform commission and other disclosed charges before releasing the net proceeds to the seller.
AnySpare may update, pause, remove, or change platform features, workflows, categories, support processes, fee structures, promotional options, delivery options, or listing rules where reasonably necessary for the operation of the service.
AnySpare may investigate complaints, rely on platform records, preserve transaction data, review communications, and take account, listing, ticket, payment, payout, promotion, or transactional action where policy enforcement requires it.
AnySpare may preserve records, transaction data, communications, and technical account data where necessary for fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute handling, enforcement, or cooperation with authorities.
5. Suspension, Termination, And Liability
AnySpare may suspend, limit, restrict, or terminate access where a user breaches these Terms and Conditions, platform policies, or applicable law, or where there is a legitimate marketplace safety concern.
AnySpare may suspend listings, accounts, payouts, promotions, or platform privileges if it reasonably believes that a user has breached these Terms, engaged in fraud, sold prohibited items, manipulated listings, abused another user, violated the law, or created unacceptable legal or commercial risk for the platform.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, AnySpare does not warrant that the platform will always be available, error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for every user purpose.
AnySpare also does not guarantee that third-party listings are accurate, lawful, available, compatible, or suitable for a buyer’s intended purpose, although it may take reasonable moderation and trust-and-safety steps.
To the extent permitted by law, AnySpare is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from user misuse, third-party conduct, fitment error, incorrect installation, inaccurate listings, unlawful platform activity by another user, delivery issues caused by third parties, or use of goods purchased through the platform.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes, limits, or waives any rights or obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable South African law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any complaint may first be directed to AnySpare at info@anyspare.co.za.
Depending on the nature of the dispute, a user may also have rights to approach the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud, the Information Regulator, the National Consumer Commission, or a competent court or tribunal.

AnySpare may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time by publishing an updated version on the website.
The current version published on the website will apply from the stated effective date unless a different implementation date is stated.
The updated version will apply from the date of publication or any later effective date stated in the updated version.
