7. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property in the GHM Suite platform — including software, design, logos, and content created by us — remains the exclusive property of GHM Suite. Your subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the platform for its intended purpose.
You retain ownership of all data you input into GHM Suite (your bookings, guest records, and property information).
8. Third-Party Integrations
GHM Suite integrates with third-party services including Airbnb, Booking.com, LekkeSlaap, WhatsApp, and — with your consent — Google Analytics. These integrations are provided as-is. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or terms of third-party platforms, and any changes those platforms make may affect the functionality of integrations within GHM Suite.
Google Analytics is used to collect anonymous usage statistics to help us improve the platform. It is only activated after you have given explicit consent via the cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time in Settings → Cookie Preferences.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, GHM Suite and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform, including but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of data, or business interruption.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of your use of GHM Suite shall not exceed the total subscription fees paid by you in the 3 months preceding the claim.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
GHM Suite is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the reliability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose of the service. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
