WattsWorth Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 27 May 2025

Welcome to WattsWorth. By using our website, submitting your land, or engaging with our services, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions. Please read them carefully — they’re here to protect both you and us.

1. About WattsWorth

WattsWorth (Pty) Ltd is a South African company that facilitates renewable energy leasing opportunities by connecting landowners with vetted solar and wind energy developers.

We are an independent platform. We do not act as an agent for either party. Instead, we operate under a business model where we sign option or lease agreements with landowners, and then sub-lease the land to developers at our discretion.

2. Landowner Submissions

When you submit information about your land:

  • You confirm that the information is accurate and belongs to you, or that you have authority to share it.
  • Submitting does not guarantee acceptance, listing, or any deal being concluded.
  • We may conduct high-level due diligence and share your land details with our developer network to explore potential leasing opportunities.

3. Option and Lease Agreements

If your land qualifies, we may offer to sign an option or lease agreement with you.

  • These agreements are non-binding until signed by both parties.
  • No rental is payable to the landowner until a developer concludes a sub-lease and project development commences.
  • All agreements will be shared transparently and explained in plain language before signing.

4. Developer Sub-Lease

Once we secure a developer:

  • We will conclude a sub-lease agreement with them.
  • Only at a point specified in the Sub-lease, will your rental payments begin, subject to the terms of your original agreement with us.
  • We reserve the right to negotiate rental terms with developers to ensure a viable project outcome.

5. No Guarantees or Warranties

While we actively market your land and do our best to secure a developer, we cannot guarantee:

  • That your land will be selected;
  • That a developer will sign a lease;
  • That any project will proceed to construction or completion.

This is a speculative process based on market interest, infrastructure access, and technical viability.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, branding, images, and design — belongs to WattsWorth and may not be copied or reused without written permission.v

7. POPIA & Privacy Compliance

WattsWorth complies fully with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

By using our services:

  • You consent to us collecting and storing the information you provide, including personal and land data.
  • Your data will be used solely for the purpose of assessing, marketing, and facilitating renewable energy lease opportunities.
  • We will never sell or misuse your data.
  • We may share your land data with vetted developers under confidentiality to promote leasing opportunities.
  • You may request that your data be updated or removed at any time by contacting us at info@wattsworth.co.za.

We use secure systems and appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information.

8. Limitation of Liability

WattsWorth (Pty) Ltd is not liable for:

  • Losses or damages arising from rejected land submissions;
  • Failed negotiations with developers;
  • Delays or cancellations in project development;
  • Any indirect or consequential loss related to your use of our platform.

You engage with us entirely at your own risk, with full understanding of the speculative nature of renewable energy project development.

9. Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes will be handled by the relevant courts of jurisdiction in South Africa.

10. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the platform after changes are made constitutes your agreement to the revised Terms.
