Website terms of use
These terms of use explain what this website is for and how its texts and photos may be used. Nothing here is an order form or a price.
Who runs this website
This website is run by Coral & Teak, Nungwi, Zanzibar.
It describes the construction and renovation services of Coral & Teak in Zanzibar and the order in which a job runs. It also shows dated photos from one building site in progress. These terms cover every page of the site.
No page on this site is an offer or a price
Service pages explain how we work, and guides summarise official sources. None of these pages sets the cost or time of any job, and nothing on them is an offer to build.
A price exists only in writing and only for your project. Before it, we talk with you about the job, visit the plot or the building and go through any drawings you have. You then receive an estimate: an itemised calculation of what each part of the work is likely to cost. Once the drawings are complete, they are priced as a quotation, the firm offer for the scope it describes.
Building work on site starts only under a written contract that refers to the quotation and the drawings. Time frames, payment stages and warranty terms are not given on this site; where they apply, they are written into the quotation or the contract. Each step from first message to contract is set out in our building process.
Guides are summaries, not legal advice
Our guides on Zanzibar architecture and building rules retell what official and other primary sources say. Each source is listed with the date we opened and read it, shown as “checked on”. Rules and fees may change after that date, so a guide can be out of date.
A guide does not replace advice from a lawyer, and it does not tell you what to decide. Before you act on anything in it, open the source and confirm the current rule with the authority that issued it. Two guides where this matters most are building permits in Zanzibar and checking a contractor's registration.
Links to other websites
Guides link to the pages of official bodies and other organisations that they rely on. A link does not mean that we are connected with whoever runs that website. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content or for how they handle your data.
Photos of building work
Construction photos on this site come from one real building site, and each caption shows the date. They do not show the address of the site or the name of its owner.
Stock images and computer renders are never presented here as building work. If a render is ever shown, its caption says so.
Copying texts and photos
Our own texts and photos on this site may not be copied or republished without our written permission. To ask, message us on WhatsApp and say what you want to use and where.
WhatsApp and your details
There are no contact forms on this site, and each WhatsApp button opens a chat with us. WhatsApp is a separate service with its own terms of service and privacy policy, which cover your use of the app. What we do with the details you send us is explained in our privacy policy.
Mistakes and changes to these terms
If you find a mistake on a page, tell us on WhatsApp. We check it and correct the page if it is wrong.
We update these terms when the site changes, for example when company details are added. These terms were written on 13 November 2026. A later version replaces this one on the same page and carries its own date.
Questions about these terms go to the same WhatsApp chat as any other message. Our contact page shows the number and what to write first.
