Terms & Conditions

By creating an account or using the SLM Fund Savings platform, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions. These rules exist to protect the savings system and ensure fairness for all users.

1. Purpose of the Platform

SLM Fund Savings is a goal-based savings platform designed to help users save money in a disciplined way. Funds deposited are locked until the goal is achieved or the expiry date is reached.

2. Accounts

Each user must register using a valid email address and password. You are responsible for keeping your login details secure. All actions taken on your account are considered authorized by you.

3. Goals

Each user is allowed one active savings goal at a time. When creating a goal, you must choose a target amount and an expiry date. Once deposits begin, the goal details cannot be changed.

4. Deposits

All deposits are made through PayFast. Once money is deposited, it becomes locked into your savings goal and cannot be withdrawn until the goal is claimable.

5. Locked Funds (No Early Withdrawals)

SLM Fund Savings does not allow early or emergency withdrawals. Once a deposit has been made, the money is locked until the goal reaches its target or the expiry date has passed. This rule ensures the discipline and purpose of the savings system.

6. When You Can Claim

Your goal becomes claimable when either the target amount is reached or the expiry date you selected has passed. When this happens, the Claim button will appear on your dashboard.

7. Claiming Your Funds

When your goal becomes claimable, you may withdraw the full amount saved. Partial withdrawals are not allowed. Once a goal is claimed, it is marked as completed and you may create a new goal.

8. Deleting a Goal

A goal can only be deleted if no money has been deposited. If any amount has been saved, the goal becomes locked until it is claimed.

9. User Responsibility

By using this platform, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily saving your own money and accept the lock-in system. You understand that funds are not accessible until your goal becomes claimable.

10. Platform Availability

We aim to keep the platform available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Technical issues, updates, or external service providers may cause temporary downtime.

11. Abuse or Fraud

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account involved in fraud, abuse, or misuse of the platform.

12. Agreement

By registering and making a deposit on SLM Fund Savings, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions.
