These Terms of Service form an agreement between the customer and Marquis Information Services (Pty) Ltd for access to Jill, Jill CRM, related workflow services and any separately agreed implementation services. By creating an account, accepting a quotation, authorising payment or using the service, the customer agrees to these terms.
1. The service
Jill provides configurable guided conversations that can collect information and media, produce completed outcomes, support document signing and create or update records in Jill CRM. Features may include links, reminders, workflow management, reports, integrations, verification services and audit records.
2. Accounts and authority
The person opening or administering an account confirms that they are authorised to act for the customer. Customers must provide accurate information, keep login details secure, manage user permissions and notify us promptly of suspected unauthorised access.
3. Pricing, billing and payment
Prices are displayed in South African rand. The standard monthly fee and outcome charges appear in the Pricing section of this website. The monthly subscription is paid in advance and includes the stated monthly allowance. Additional and higher-value completed outcomes are charged at the applicable rate. Optional services, third-party checks, messaging, document preparation and custom integrations are priced separately where required.
Usage is measured from successfully completed outcomes recorded by the platform. Abandoned or unfinished workflows are not counted as completed outcomes. Customers authorise recurring subscription payments and authorised usage charges according to the selected plan or written quotation. We may suspend access after a failed or overdue payment following reasonable notice.
Where Paystack is offered as the payment method, Paystack securely processes the transaction. Jill does not receive or store the customer’s full card details. Any applicable tax will be shown on the invoice or payment record.
4. Customer workflows, content and instructions
The customer is responsible for the workflows, questions, documents, messages, decisions and instructions it configures or asks us to configure. The customer must ensure that it has a lawful basis and all required notices, permissions and consents to collect, use, share and retain information from workflow participants.
Jill may help guide a process or generate structured output, but it does not replace legal, financial, medical or other professional advice. The customer remains responsible for reviewing its workflow, deciding whether an outcome is suitable for its purpose and obtaining professional advice where needed.
5. Electronic signatures and evidence
Signed Outcomes may capture signatures, dates, device information, network information, media and audit evidence. The customer is responsible for determining whether electronic signing is appropriate for its document and transaction, identifying signatories, obtaining required consent and meeting any legal formality that applies. We do not warrant that electronic signing is suitable for every document or jurisdiction.
6. Third-party services
Jill may connect to payment providers, communication providers, hosting services, verification providers and customer-selected integrations. Those services may be subject to separate terms, availability and fees. We are not responsible for a third party’s independent acts or service interruption, but we will reasonably assist with issues affecting a Jill integration.
7. Availability, changes and support
We aim to provide a reliable service but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free availability. Planned maintenance, internet failures, third-party outages and events outside reasonable control may affect access. We may improve, replace or discontinue features, provided that we do not materially reduce a paid core service without reasonable notice or an appropriate remedy.
8. Intellectual property
Jill, its software, design, brand, documentation and underlying technology remain our intellectual property or that of our licensors. The customer receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for its internal business purposes during the subscription.
The customer retains ownership of its own content and data. The customer gives us the limited permission needed to host, process, transmit, back up and display that content in order to provide, secure and support the service.
9. Confidentiality and security
Each party must protect the other party’s confidential information and use it only for the agreement. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the service. No internet-based service is completely risk free, and customers must also use appropriate account controls, devices and internal procedures.
10. Suspension and termination
Either party may end the service in accordance with the Cancellation Policy or an agreed quotation. We may suspend or terminate for material breach, non-payment, unlawful use or serious security risk. Terms that by their nature should continue—such as payment obligations, confidentiality, intellectual property, liability and dispute provisions—survive termination.
11. Warranties and liability
We provide the service with reasonable skill and care. To the fullest extent permitted by law, implied warranties not expressly stated are excluded. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or loss of profit, revenue, goodwill or anticipated savings, except where such limitation is not lawful.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising from the service is limited to the fees paid by the customer for the affected service during the three months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation does not apply to fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
12. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. The parties should first try to resolve a dispute in good faith by contacting hello@jill.chat. A customer retains any right to approach a court, regulator, ombud or consumer body that has jurisdiction.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms to reflect service, legal or operational changes. Material changes will be communicated reasonably in advance where practicable. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance, but changes do not remove accrued or non-waivable rights.
