EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR THE CATERING SERVICES AGREEMENT, WHERE SUCH AGREEMENT IS IN FAVOUR OF THE PARTY RECEIVING THE SERVICES

This agreement is for use by entities that REQUIRE catering services. It is an agreement that is structured to protect the rights of the party that RECEIVES the catering services.

Note that this agreement can only be used where the receiver of services does not constitute a “consumer” in terms of the Consumer Protection Act. i.e the receiver MUST BE a juristic entity with a turnover or asset value equal to, or more than R2m at the time of the transaction.

Note: we will shortly make available agreements that regulate transactions that fall under the Consumer Protection Act. This agreement is for transactions that DO NOT fall under the Consumer Protection Act. Always make certain that the receiver of services under this agreement is neither a juristic person with assets or a turnover UNDER R2m, nor a natural person.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are a party that PROVIDES catering services, it is suggested that you make use of the agreement, titled “Catering Services Agreement- Provider“, as the latter agreement is more protective of your rights.

HOWEVER, if you are a party that RECEIVES the catering services, then this is the correct agreement for you to use as it is more protective of your rights.
