Terms of Use
The terms on which this website is made available.

Draft for review. This document was prepared from how the website actually operates. It has not been reviewed by a legal practitioner. VIIS should confirm the contents — in particular the Information Officer details and retention periods — before the site goes live.
Acceptance
By accessing or using www.viis.co.za you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
About this website
This website is operated by Vutivi Innovative Industrial Solutions (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2016/509892/07, of 24A Struben Drive, Rant En Dal, Krugersdorp, Gauteng, 1754.
Technical content is general information
This is the term that matters most on a site of this kind. The technical material published here — on recovery, beneficiation, process development, test work, modelling, pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy and process technologies — is general information about our capability and approach. It is not engineering advice for your material, your process or your project.
Metallurgical outcomes depend entirely on the specific feed material, its characterisation and the conditions under which it is processed. Nothing on this site should be relied on as a prediction of how a particular residue, slag, tailings resource or process stream will behave. Any such assessment requires characterisation and test work on the actual material, carried out under an agreed scope of work.
We do not publish recovery figures, performance data or project outcomes that our test work does not support. Where figures appear in future case-study material, they will relate to the specific material and conditions described and should not be generalised.
No engagement is created by using this site
Submitting the enquiry form, emailing us or telephoning us does not create a professional engagement between you and VIIS. An engagement arises only once scope, terms and fees have been agreed in writing.
Accuracy and availability
We take care to keep the information here accurate and current, but we do not warrant that it is complete, error-free or up to date at any given moment. We may change or remove content without notice.
We aim to keep the site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Access may be suspended for maintenance or for reasons beyond our control.

Confidential information you send us
Please do not send confidential or commercially sensitive material through the website enquiry form. If a project requires it, contact us and we will put a confidentiality arrangement in place and agree a suitable channel before material or data is exchanged.
Third-party links
Where this site links to external websites, those links are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.
