The AFGRI Group expressly contracts out of sections 22 – 26 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (25 of 2002) (“ECTA”).

In accordance with the ECTA, an e-mail is only deemed to be received by the AFGRI Group once the AFGRI Group acknowledges receipt thereof. The AFGRI Group will be deemed to have sent an e-mail once reflected as sent on the AFGRI Group’s e-mail server. An auto-reply shall not constitute a response for the purposes hereof. If this electronic message contains offensive, derogatory or defamatory statements or materials, it means the message has been sent outside the sender’s scope of employment with the AFGRI Group and only the sender can be held liable in his/her personal capacity.
