Disclaimer

Last updated: 3 July 2026

By using throttletherapy.co.za and the Throttle Therapy app (the “Site”), operated by Throttle Therapy (“we”, “us”, “our”), you agree to this disclaimer in full. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Site.

1. General information only

Content on the Site — including suggested routes, points of interest, distances, and information submitted by other riders — is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not safety, riding, mechanical, medical, or professional advice. Always use your own judgment, obey all applicable road traffic laws, and independently check current road, weather, and route conditions before and during any ride.

2. Assumption of risk — motorcycle riding is dangerous

Motorcycle riding carries an inherent risk of serious injury or death, regardless of the information, route, or rider you are relying on. Routes, stops, and ride events on the Site are created and organised by users, not by us, and we do not inspect, verify, or guarantee their accuracy, condition, or safety. Other riders you connect with, and ride events or group meetups you join, are not vetted, screened, or endorsed by us.

You choose to plan routes, go on rides, and meet other users entirely at your own risk and discretion. Always wear appropriate protective gear, ensure your motorcycle and licence are roadworthy and valid, and comply with all applicable road traffic laws.

3. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we, our founders, and anyone acting on our behalf are not liable for any injury, death, loss, or damage of any kind — direct or indirect — arising out of or in any way connected with:

  • your use of, or inability to use, the Site;
  • your reliance on any route, point of interest, weather information, or other content supplied on or through the Site, whether by us or by another user;
  • your participation in, or organisation of, any ride, meetup, or group event arranged through the Site; or
  • the conduct, acts, or omissions of any other user you meet or interact with through the Site.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our own gross negligence or fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under South African law.

4. User-generated content

Routes, posts, messages, group content, and profile information are created by users, are not verified by us for accuracy, and do not necessarily reflect our views. We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that violate our community standards, but we are under no obligation to monitor all content on the Site.

5. Third-party links and services

The Site links to or embeds third-party services, including Google Maps. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any third-party service, and your use of them is subject to that provider’s own terms.

6. No warranty

The Site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, reliability, or continuous availability.

7. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss, or expense arising from your breach of this disclaimer, your use of the Site, or your conduct at any ride or meetup arranged through it.

8. Changes to this disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are published means you accept the updated version.

9. Governing law

This disclaimer is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes arising from it are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the South African courts.
