Terms of use

These terms apply to the use of the John F Marshall website and related online enquiries. By accessing the site, you agree to use it in a lawful manner and to accept these terms as they may be updated from time to time.

1. Who operates this website

This website is operated for John F Marshall by Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd. The site content is intended for customers, suppliers and other business contacts seeking information about agricultural and industrial equipment, poultry projects and related services.

John F Marshall is based in Jet Park, Boksburg, with projects and support services across Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal. References to products, project services and technical support are provided for general information and do not create a contract unless we confirm this in writing.

2. Permitted use of the site

You may browse the website for lawful business purposes, make enquiries, and share contact details for quotation or support requests. You may not misuse the site, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with the proper working of the pages, or use any content in a way that harms John F Marshall or any third party.

  • Do not submit false, incomplete or misleading information.
  • Do not copy, scrape or republish site content without written permission.
  • Do not use the site to send spam, malware or other harmful material.
  • Do not rely on the site as the only source of technical or legal advice.

3. Information, specifications and quotations

We aim to keep product descriptions, service details and project information accurate, but equipment specifications, capacities, dimensions and pricing may change without notice. Poultry houses, abattoir areas and related installations often require site checks, local municipal approvals, electrical supply planning and practical consideration of load-shedding, water pressure and coastal humidity.

Any quotation, lead time or scope of work issued by our team is subject to confirmation of the project requirements, site access, stock availability and payment terms. If there is a conflict between website content and a formal written quotation or agreement, the written document will apply.

4. Orders, service requests and project work

Enquiries submitted through the website may be followed up by our sales, operations or technical team. A request for pricing, site planning, house layouts, installation supervision, commissioning, training or maintenance does not become an accepted order until we confirm it and, where needed, receive the required deposit or signed instruction.

  • Site planning and equipment selection depend on the intended flock size and building layout.
  • Installation supervision and commissioning may require access to the site at agreed times.
  • Operator training and maintenance programmes are scheduled subject to availability.
  • Spare parts and processing room fitout items are supplied subject to stock and specification checks.

5. Intellectual property and content ownership

All text, photographs, drawings, layouts, logos, product references and technical material on this website belong to John F Marshall or are used with permission. The content is protected by applicable South African law. You may view and print pages for internal business use only, provided that you do not remove notices, alter the material or suggest any connection that does not exist.

No licence is granted to reproduce, adapt or distribute the site content for marketing, tendering or commercial resale purposes unless we have given written consent.

6. Liability limits and acceptable risk

While we take care with the information shown on the site, we do not guarantee that the pages will always be available, error free or free from interruption. We are not responsible for losses arising from internet faults, power cuts, network failures, incorrect user input, or decisions taken without a proper site review. This includes situations where a customer assumes that a product is suitable for a particular house, shed or processing room without checking the final specification.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, John F Marshall and Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit or damage caused by reliance on website material.

7. Privacy, contact and governing law

If you send an enquiry through the website, we may use your details to respond, prepare a quotation, arrange a visit, or follow up on a project. We handle contact information in line with South African law and only for legitimate business purposes linked to your request. For assistance or questions about these terms, please contact info@johnfmarshall.co.za.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any dispute arising from the use of this website will be handled in South Africa, and the courts of competent jurisdiction will have authority over the matter.

  • We may update these terms without prior notice.
  • Continued use of the website means you accept the updated terms.
  • If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining parts will still apply.
