Trademark & Intellectual Property Policy
PMC TechLife | A trading name of PMC Jewellery (Pty) Ltd (Reg. No. 2023/678946/07)
Last Updated:
1. Overview
We sell smartphones, sound amplification devices, wearables, and accessories — and to do that properly, we have to name the brands and technologies involved. That means you'll see manufacturer names, model numbers, and tech standards referenced throughout our website.
This page explains how we use those references, what we own, what we don't, and what to do if you have a concern. We've kept it straightforward.
2. Our Trademarks
PMC TechLife and the PMC logo belong to PMC Jewellery (Pty) Ltd (Reg. No. 2023/678946/07), registered in South Africa. If you use our name or logo without permission, we'll take it up with you directly — and legally if necessary.
3. Third-Party Brand Names
When we list a product, we name the brand. That's it. Mentioning a brand name doesn't mean we're partnered with them, endorsed by them, or affiliated in any way — unless we've said so explicitly on the product page.
All third-party brand names, product names, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
4. Nominative Fair Use
Sometimes we reference a competitor or manufacturer brand in our marketing or search metadata. This is called nominative fair use — it's a recognised legal principle that allows us to name a brand when there's no other reasonable way to describe what we're talking about.
When we do this, we stick to a few simple rules:
- We only use the brand name to the extent needed to describe the product or technology.
- We don't imply any sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.
- We don't alter or misrepresent the trademark.
- Any comparisons we make are factual and fair.
5. Authenticity & Warranties
We import our products directly from vetted international and local suppliers to ensure quality and authenticity. Every product we sell is legally sourced and comes with a 6-month warranty on defective goods in accordance with Section 56 of the South African Consumer Protection Act. That's our commitment to standing behind the products and brands we range.
