Disclaimer

Effective date: 24/06/2026 Last updated: 24/06/2026

1. General Disclaimer

SokoMix is a Kenyan digital platform operated by Surrey Support Services, based in Nairobi, Kenya. It comprises a news and editorial blog at sokomix.com (the “Blog”) and a free peer-to-peer classifieds marketplace at sokomix.com/app/ (the “Classifieds”).

The information published on the SokoMix Blog is provided for general information and educational purposes only. While we make a genuine effort to keep it useful, relevant, and reasonably accurate, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any content on the Platform.

This Disclaimer forms part of, and should be read together with, our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy. By accessing or using SokoMix, you acknowledge and accept this Disclaimer. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Platform.

2. No Professional Advice

Nothing published on the SokoMix Blog constitutes professional financial, investment, legal, medical, tax, or other specialised advice. Our content is journalistic and educational in nature; it is general, is not exhaustive, and is not tailored to your individual circumstances. This applies to all articles, regardless of topic, including but not limited to those covering:

• Mortgages, loans, M-Pesa services, savings products, and personal finance
• Buying, selling, or renting land, property, and real estate in Kenya
• Investing in stocks, SACCOs, unit trusts, bonds, or cryptocurrency
• Starting, running, or growing a business in Kenya
• Legal rights, court processes, taxation, and government regulations
• Health, wellness, and lifestyle matters

Reading the Blog does not create any professional, advisory, fiduciary, or client relationship between you and SokoMix. Before making any financial, legal, business, medical, or other significant decision, you should consult a suitably qualified and, where relevant, licensed professional who can consider your specific situation. SokoMix accepts no liability for any loss, expense, or consequence arising from reliance on the content of the Blog.

3. Accuracy, Completeness, and Currency of Information

SokoMix makes reasonable efforts to ensure that Blog content is accurate at the time of publication. However, you should be aware that:

• Prices, interest rates, exchange rates, fees, and market conditions fluctuate and may have changed since an article was published
• Laws, regulations, and government policies in Kenya are subject to change
• Third-party data, figures, and statistics cited in articles may not have been independently verified by SokoMix
• Historical articles are not routinely updated to reflect changed circumstances

The publication date shown on each article is your best guide to how current its information is likely to be. You remain responsible for verifying the currency and applicability of any information before acting on it.

4. External Links Disclaimer

The Blog regularly links to external websites operated by third parties — news sources, government portals, bank websites, company pages, and others. These links are provided for your convenience and do not constitute an endorsement of the linked site, its operators, or its content.

SokoMix has no control over the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of external sites and accepts no responsibility for them. Once you leave SokoMix, this Disclaimer and our policies no longer apply, and we encourage you to read the terms and privacy policy of any site you visit.

5. Affiliate Disclosure

Some articles on the SokoMix Blog contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and subsequently complete a qualifying action with the linked merchant — such as making a purchase or signing up — SokoMix may earn a commission, at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate programmes we participate in may include those operated by Jumia Kenya, Kilimall, Kenyan banks and financial institutions, web hosting companies, and other relevant businesses. This list is not exhaustive and is subject to change. Where an article contains affiliate links, it will carry a disclosure notice at the top of the article or at the relevant point in the text.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial judgement, the items we choose to feature, or the positions we take. Our recommendations are based on genuine research and editorial assessment. SokoMix is not responsible for the products, services, pricing, or customer service of any affiliate merchant; any complaint or dispute regarding an affiliate purchase should be directed to the merchant concerned.

6. Advertising Disclosure

The SokoMix Blog is being prepared to carry display advertising served by Google AdSense. AdSense is not yet active and will begin serving only once our AdSense account is approved. The Blog may also display banner advertisements sold directly to Kenyan businesses.

Advertisements served by Google AdSense are selected and delivered automatically by Google, not chosen by SokoMix, and we do not control their content. The appearance of any advertisement on SokoMix — whether served by Google or sold directly — does not constitute our endorsement, recommendation, or verification of the advertised product, service, or organisation. If you encounter an ad you believe is inappropriate or misleading, you can use the “Why this ad?” or “Ad Choices” options built into Google-served ads.

How advertising cookies are used, and the consent choices available to you, are explained in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Advertisers have no influence over our editorial decisions, article topics, or the opinions expressed in SokoMix articles.

7. Sponsored and Native Content

From time to time, SokoMix may publish sponsored articles — branded editorial content paid for by a business partner. All such content is clearly and prominently labelled as “Sponsored”, “Advertorial”, or “Paid Partnership” before you read it.

Sponsored content is subject to our editorial standards, but the sponsor bears primary responsibility for the truthfulness of the claims made in it. You should evaluate sponsored content with the same critical judgement you would apply to any advertising material. SokoMix does not share your personal data with sponsors in connection with sponsored content.

8. Classifieds Marketplace Disclaimer

SokoMix Classifieds is a neutral technology platform that allows independent third-party users to post listings and connect with one another. Listings are created and published by the users who post them, not by SokoMix.

SokoMix is not a party to any transaction between a buyer and a seller. We do not own, inspect, evaluate, verify, certify, store, or ship any item listed, and we do not verify the identity of sellers or the accuracy, condition, legality, or safety of any listed item or service. We make no warranty that any listing is genuine, accurate, lawful, or safe, and the presence of a listing or seller profile on SokoMix is not an endorsement of that seller or their goods.

Buyers and sellers deal with each other entirely at their own risk and are responsible for their own due diligence. Please read Sections 6, 9, and 17 of our Terms and Conditions — which set out marketplace responsibilities, buyer safety guidance, and the relevant disclaimers — before transacting. SokoMix accepts no liability for any loss, damage, or harm arising from a transaction or interaction between users.

9. Views and Opinions

Any views or opinions expressed in Blog articles are those of the author or the SokoMix editorial team at the time of writing and are offered for general interest and discussion. They do not necessarily reflect the views of any partner, advertiser, or sponsor. Where an article is contributed by a guest or external writer, the views expressed are their own.

10. Errors, Omissions, and “As Is” Basis

The Platform and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Kenya, SokoMix excludes all warranties, express or implied, and accepts no liability for any error or omission in the content, or for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Platform or its content. This Disclaimer is in addition to, and does not limit, the disclaimers and limitation of liability set out in Sections 17 and 18 of our Terms and Conditions.

Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to exclude or limit any statutory rights you have under the Kenya Consumer Protection Act, 2012, or any other mandatory Kenyan legislation that cannot be excluded or limited by agreement.

11. Third-Party Trademarks and Names

Product names, company names, brands, and logos referred to on the Platform are the property of their respective owners. They are used for identification, commentary, and editorial reference only. Their use does not imply any affiliation with, or endorsement by, those owners unless expressly stated.

12. Your Responsibility

You are responsible for how you use the information on SokoMix. Any action you take on the basis of the content on this Platform is strictly at your own risk. We strongly encourage you to verify information independently and to seek qualified professional advice where appropriate before acting.

13. Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this Disclaimer from time to time as the Platform evolves or as the law requires. The current version will always be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date at the top. Your continued use of SokoMix after an update is posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Disclaimer.
