Copyright in publications, records, and media remains with the OUBAS Institute or the respective rights holders.

Who you are contracting with
This website and its products are owned and supplied by Ephraim Mbuso Dlamini, trading as OUBAS Institute, a sole proprietorship based in Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa. The business address is 30 Springhill Road, River Club Ext 24, Sandton, Johannesburg, Gauteng 2191, Republic of South Africa. Enquiries may be sent to enquiries@oubas.press or +27 82 606 0492.
Payments
Our order process is conducted by OUBAS Institute, the seller of all items on this platform — including digital publications, AAP subscriptions, and film and cartoon access. Pay by EFT with automatic bank confirmation: pay the exact unique invoice amount, including cents, and your book, rental or subscription opens automatically when FNB confirms the matching payment. No manual payment approval or proof of payment is needed. We match the amount, not your payment reference. Bank transfer and notification times still apply. Paid-up OUBAS Institute members receive 2.5% off all purchases when signed in; with a valid Partner number, the combined discount is 7.5%. Additional approved payment gateways may be offered when activated.
All prices are shown in South African Rand (ZAR) unless stated otherwise, and are the total amount payable. OUBAS is not presently VAT-registered and does not charge VAT. The final amount payable is displayed at checkout before you confirm your purchase. For EFT, use the payment reference on your invoice.
Delivery of digital products
Digital publications are delivered after payment confirmation, by way of a secure, time-limited download link shown on the confirmation page and available from your order record. AAP subscriptions and rental streaming access are activated as soon as payment is confirmed. No physical goods are shipped.
Refunds and cancellations
Refunds and cancellations are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy, and are processed by OUBAS Institute directly.
Subscriptions
AAP subscriptions renew automatically each billing period until cancelled. You may cancel at any time before the next renewal date by writing to admin.aap@oubas.press. Cancellation stops future renewals; access continues to the end of the paid period.
Acceptable use
You must not misuse the platform. In particular, you must not:
- use the platform for any unlawful purpose, or to publish or share unlawful, defamatory, hateful or harassing material;

- interfere with the platform's security, including uploading malware, probing or testing for vulnerabilities, scraping, or circumventing access controls or rental limits;
- share account credentials, or resell, redistribute or publicly re-broadcast purchased or rented material.
Intellectual property
OUBAS Institute retains ownership of the platform and all its content, software, publications, recordings, documentation and branding. A purchase or rental gives you a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to use the item for its stated period; it does not transfer ownership.
Service availability
We work to keep the platform available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.
Suspension and termination
We may suspend or end access to the platform for a material breach of these terms, non-payment, a security or fraud risk, or repeated or serious breaches of this acceptable-use section.
