The Website and associated mobile application is an online venue where Teachers register their details, so that Schools can hire them on a temporary basis at their own discretion. Schools and Teachers must register for an Account in order to connect with each other. Registered school or educational accounts are paid for on a recurring basis.

Find My Holdings (Pty) Ltd merely provides a software platform to connect school or educational institution with substitute teacher(s) in order to obtain services or get specific temporary assignments or tasks done. Find My Holdings (Pty) Ltd is not responsible or liable for any of the services or assignments rendered by teachers or third parties to schools. All fees and accounts due to the substitute teachers or parties for services rendered to the school or educational institution are strictly between the same parties and are in no way associated with Find My Holdings (Pty) Ltd. The Substitute Teachers do not hold Find My Sub (Pty) Ltd liable in any way for fees owed to them.

No credential checks are carried out by Find My Holdings. It remains the responsibility of the school to check and confirm teaching credentials before making use of their services.
