MEMA makes every effort to ensure that we accurately represent our products, services and available business program benefits and income potential for members presented on the Mema Website (www.https://mema.co.za).

Potential earnings and income statements provided by us in any form or matter are estimates based on broad calculation assumptions. There is no guarantee that members will attain the indicated levels of income. Members must understand that the earnings and income statements will differ from individual to individual depending on their own ability to grow their business.

As with any business members’ results may vary, and each member’s success will be based on their background, capacity, business experience, expertise, dedication and level of desire/motivation to succeed. We have no control over a members’ actions. There are, therefore, no guarantees concerning the level of success a member may experience.

Any testimonial and example which may be used is specific to that member’s results, which may or may not apply to the average member, and is not intended to represent or guarantee that every member will achieve the same or similar results.

There is no assurance that examples of past earnings can be duplicated in the future. We cannot guarantee future results and/or successes. Unknown risks in the business and on the internet that we cannot foresee may reduce members’ results.

The use of our information, products and services should be based on the prospective member undertaking a comprehensive appraisal of the business (conducting due diligence) and members agree that Mema is not liable for any success or failure of a member’s business that is directly or indirectly related to the purchase and use of our information, products, services and/or benefits.
