Terms & Conditions

Last updated: January 2026

This page sets out the terms on which Oreoa Insights & Strategy makes this website, and the material published on it, available to you. It is deliberately written in plain language. If anything here is unclear, write to us at info@oreoa.co.za and we will clarify it directly.

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Oreoa Insights & Strategy ("Oreoa," "we," "us," or "our"), a subsidiary of Tshegofatso Phetoane Group, operating primarily in South Africa and across other African markets. References to "the site" mean oreoa.co.za and any subdomains or associated pages we operate.

2. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using this site, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, we ask that you discontinue use of the site. These terms apply to all visitors, including those reading our published essays, reviewing our practice areas, or making contact with us through the site.

3. Nature of the content on this site

The material published here — including essays, frameworks, practice descriptions, and any named concepts or terminology we introduce — reflects our independent thinking and professional judgement. It is provided for general informational purposes.

  • Nothing on this site constitutes formal advisory, legal, financial, or investment advice specific to your circumstances.
  • Reading our published thinking does not create an advisory or client relationship between you and Oreoa. That relationship is established only through a separate, direct engagement.
  • Where we describe frameworks, methods, or approaches developed through our advisory work, we do so to share our thinking publicly. Applying them to a specific decision without engaging us directly is done at your own discretion and risk.

4. Intellectual property

The content of this site — including text, essays, named frameworks and concepts, the Oreoa name and mark, and the visual design of the site itself — is the property of Oreoa Insights & Strategy or its licensors, and is protected by applicable intellectual property law.

You may read, reference, and share links to our published essays. You may quote short excerpts with clear attribution to Oreoa Insights & Strategy and a link back to the original page. You may not reproduce, republish, or distribute substantial portions of our content, or present our frameworks as your own original work, without our prior written consent.

5. Exeri

Exeri, referenced on this site as a product of Oreoa's applied thinking, is governed by its own separate terms of use where applicable. Nothing on this site should be read as an offer, solicitation, or guarantee regarding Exeri's functionality or availability.

6. No warranty

We take care in what we publish, but this site and its content are provided on an "as is" basis. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the thinking presented will be applicable to your specific situation. Markets, regulations, and organisational contexts change, and material on this site may not reflect the most current developments in any given field.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Oreoa Insights & Strategy and its parent entity, Tshegofatso Phetoane Group, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or its content. This limitation does not affect any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

8. External links

This site may link to third-party websites, including our LinkedIn page and other professional profiles. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any external site we do not control.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practice, our published content, or applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes arising from your use of this site will be subject to the jurisdiction of the South African courts.

11. Contact
