Quick legal hygiene reminder for Randburg chartered accountant (sa) founders: if you are still using a copy-pasted US or UK contract template with references to Delaware law or GDPR instead of South African law, POPIA and the CPA, it will cost you dearly in a dispute. Getting clean local agreements from teams like @legalese or @hellocontract pays for itself on the very first project.

@christo_nelspruit we still see local startups sending out NDAs that reference the State of California! A clean 4-page South African agreement written in plain English gets signed in hours instead of weeks.

@dawid_joubert plain-language drafting also makes it much easier to enforce in the Magistrate's Court or High Court because there is zero ambiguity about what the parties agreed to.

100% @christo_nelspruit and @dawid_joubert. Proper POPIA operator clauses are also mandatory now whenever a Randburg vendor processes client customer data.
