Terms of use

GekkoRidge · last updated 26 October 2026

These terms apply to this website (“the site”), a personal blog run by Francois van Heyningen (“I”, “me”). By using the site you accept them. The privacy policy explains how personal information is handled.

Using the site

• The site is a personal, non-commercial blog. Read, share and link to anything public. Use the site lawfully: do not try to get into the signed-in pages, which are for the household, or interfere with how the site works.
• I may change, pause or remove any part of the site at any time.

Content

The posts and photographs are mine unless a post says otherwise; other people’s images are credited where they appear. You may share a link, or quote a short extract with credit to GekkoRidge; please ask before re-using anything more. Names and marks of other organisations belong to them.

Opinions, ratings and links

Posts are my personal opinion — reviews and wine and game ratings are my own view — written in good faith and not advice. Nobody pays for a review. Details can change and the site is provided as it is. Links to other websites are for convenience; I am not responsible for their content.

Liability

As far as the law allows, I am not liable for any loss arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under South African law.

Changes and law

I may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the law of South Africa.
