Terms of use

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Illumin8d website operated by Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd. By using this site, you agree to these terms and to comply with all applicable South African laws and municipal rules where relevant.

1. Who May Use This Website

This website is intended for visitors seeking information about architectural and decorative lighting design services for shopfronts, restaurants and homes. It is available to users in South Africa and to visitors from other places who choose to browse our pages, but the services described are offered in line with South African requirements and project conditions.

You may use this site for lawful, private and commercial enquiry purposes only. You must not use it in any way that causes harm to the site, interferes with other users, or misuses our content, drawings, images, project notes or technical information.

  • Use the site only for lawful purposes
  • Do not attempt to gain unauthorised access
  • Do not copy or reuse content without permission
  • Do not submit false, misleading or offensive enquiries

2. Information on Services and Project Scope

Illumin8d provides lighting design services from Rosebank, Johannesburg, with projects supported across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Umhlanga. The services described on this site may include concept design, site lighting audits, fixture specification, layout plans, control design, shopfront design, restaurant design, home lighting design, 3D lighting visuals, mockups and samples, installation coordination, and post install focusing.

Any project information published here is general in nature. Final outcomes depend on site conditions, ceiling heights, existing wiring, load-shedding requirements, available stock, budget, strata or landlord approvals, and the specific fittings selected for the job. We may recommend practical solutions for humid coastal areas, heat, glare control, or municipal by-law compliance, but every site must be assessed on its own facts.

Nothing on this website creates a binding offer to supply a particular product, price or design outcome. Written quotations, scope notes and project confirmations issued for a specific enquiry will apply to that matter only.

3. Enquiries, Briefs and Client Responsibilities

When you submit an enquiry through our contact form, you agree that the details you provide are accurate, current and complete. This includes your name, contact details, project address, site access information and any useful notes about timelines, finishes, power supply or existing fittings. We rely on this information when preparing advice, schedules or quotation documents.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have authority to request work for the property concerned. If you are acting for a landlord, tenant, architect, developer or body corporate, you must have the proper permission to proceed.

  • Provide accurate project details and measurements
  • Share any known site constraints upfront
  • Obtain owner or landlord approval where needed
  • Tell us about power limits, dimming needs or load-shedding backup systems

4. Intellectual Property and Content Use

All text, layout notes, project descriptions, drawings, visuals, graphics and other materials on this website are owned by or licensed to Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd for Illumin8d unless stated otherwise. They are protected by South African copyright and related laws.

You may view the site and print extracts for personal reference relating to a genuine project enquiry. You may not copy, distribute, reproduce, alter, publish or use any part of the site for commercial purposes without prior written permission. This includes using our wording, visuals or technical descriptions in tenders, sales packs or social media posts without authorisation.

If you believe content on the site belongs to you or has been used in error, please raise the matter through the contact form so it can be reviewed.

5. Quotes, Pricing and Payment Terms

Any pricing mentioned in conversation, on a quote or in written correspondence is subject to the final scope, site verification, specification choices and supplier lead times. Lighting projects may change when a ceiling void is opened, wiring is tested, or a fixture needs replacing with an equivalent that better suits the space. Where a mockup or sample is requested, that may affect cost and timing.

If a project proceeds, payment terms will be set out in the relevant quotation or service agreement. We may require an upfront payment, staged payments or payment before release of final deliverables depending on the nature of the work. Late payment may delay design work, procurement or site coordination.

  • Quotations are valid for the period stated in writing
  • Prices may change if specifications or quantities change
  • Installation timing depends on access, approvals and stock availability
  • Any local permit or compliance cost remains the client’s responsibility unless agreed otherwise

6. Limitation of Liability

While we take care in preparing site audits, design recommendations and control suggestions, lighting work depends on information supplied by clients, contractors and property managers, as well as conditions found on site. We are not liable for losses arising from incorrect measurements, undisclosed wiring defects, unauthorised changes to the design, misuse of fittings, or interruptions caused by power failures and municipal supply issues.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, our liability for any claim connected with website use or an enquiry made through this site is limited to the amount paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim, if any. We do not accept liability for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, business interruption or damage caused by third party workmanship.

7. Governing Law and Updates to These Terms

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any dispute arising from your use of this website will be dealt with under South African law and in the appropriate forum having jurisdiction.

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements or operating arrangements. The revised version will apply from the date it is published on this site. Please review this page regularly if you continue to use the website or submit enquiries for projects in Rosebank, Sandton, Pretoria, Midrand, Cape Town, Durban, Umhlanga or elsewhere.

If you do not agree with these Terms of Use, you should stop using the website and discontinue any further enquiry through the site.
