Website Terms of Service Template (Ireland)
Website terms of service (also called terms and conditions, or terms of use) govern how visitors and customers interact with your website. Our free Irish template aligns with the Electronic Commerce Act 2000, the Consumer Rights Act 2022, and the EU Digital Services Act, and protects your business while giving users clear information.
If you are a consumer (a natural person acting outside your trade, business, craft or profession), the Consumer Rights Act 2022 (CRA 2022) — which implements EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU into Irish law — provides you with statutory rights that these Terms do not and cannot restrict.
The Company is registered in Ireland with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) under number 654321. Registered address: 22 Silicon Dock, Grand Canal Quarter, Dublin 2, D02 RX03. Contact: legal@cloversaas.ie.
The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, with or without notice, subject to applicable legal requirements. Where Services are modified materially, we will provide reasonable notice. We do not guarantee that the Website or Services will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. The Website and Services are provided on an "as available" basis.
The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account that: (i) violates these Terms; (ii) provides false or misleading registration information; (iii) remains inactive for more than 24 consecutive months; or (iv) is involved in fraudulent, harmful, or unlawful activity. Consumer accounts will be terminated only in accordance with the CRA 2022 and applicable Irish law.

(e) Introduce malicious software, viruses, Trojan horses, or any other harmful code;
(f) Engage in data scraping, automated data collection, or use bots without prior written consent;
(g) Use the Website to send unsolicited commercial communications (spam) in breach of the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336/2011).
The Company reserves the right to take appropriate legal action for violations of this clause.
Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Website for your personal or internal business purposes only. You must not: reproduce, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works of, or commercially exploit any part of the Website without the Company's prior written consent.
By submitting content to the Website (including reviews, feedback, or user-generated materials), you grant the Company a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, modify, and display such content in connection with the Services. You warrant that you own or have the right to grant this licence and that the content does not infringe any third-party rights under the CRRA 2000 or otherwise.
All trade marks, service marks, and trade names displayed on the Website are the property of the Company or their respective owners. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.
(a) Prices: All prices are displayed in EUR and include VAT at the applicable rate under the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 (TCA 1997) and Value-Added Tax Consolidation Act 2010. The price displayed at checkout is the total price you will pay.
(b) Payment: Payment is due immediately on placing an order unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. We use industry-standard secure payment processing. We do not store payment card details on our servers.
(c) Consumer Cooling-Off Right (CRA 2022): If you are a consumer contracting at a distance (online), you have a 14-day right to cancel from the date of contract under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 (implementing EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU). For digital content delivered immediately with your express consent and acknowledgement that you lose the right of withdrawal, the right of withdrawal does not apply once performance has begun. To exercise the right of withdrawal, contact us at legal@cloversaas.ie within 14 days.
(d) Refunds: Refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 14 days of a valid cancellation or refund request, in accordance with the CRA 2022 or such other agreement as applies.

(c) Unfair Commercial Practices: The Consumer Protection Act 2007 (CPA 2007) prohibits misleading actions, misleading omissions, and aggressive commercial practices. The Company does not engage in such practices.
(d) Unfair Contract Terms: The European Communities (Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts) Regulations 1995 (S.I. No. 27/1995) — implementing EU Directive 93/13/EEC — apply to these Terms. Any term that creates a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations to the detriment of the consumer is not binding.
(e) Sale of Services: Services supplied by the Company are also subject to implied terms under the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 (SGSS 1980), including the implied condition of reasonable skill and care (s. 39 SGSS 1980).
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer under Irish or EU law.
The exclusions in this clause do not apply to consumers. For consumers, the implied terms under the SGSS 1980 and statutory rights under the CRA 2022 apply in full and are not excluded.
(a) The Company's total liability to you in connection with these Terms and the Services, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of: (i) the total fees paid by you to the Company in the 12 months immediately preceding the claim, or (ii) EUR 100.

What Are Website Terms of Service?
Website terms of service are a public-facing contract between the operator of a website and the visitors or users of that site. They set out what the visitor may and may not do on the site, the operator’s ownership of content, limitations of liability, governing law, and procedures for complaints and takedowns.
In Ireland, website terms sit within a framework of EU and national legislation. The Electronic Commerce Act 2000 implements key elements of the E-Commerce Directive; the Consumer Rights Act 2022 governs business-to-consumer contracts; the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013 set out distance-selling rights; and the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) adds intermediary service provider obligations.
Well-drafted terms build trust, satisfy regulators, and reduce the risk of disputes. They are especially important for e-commerce, online marketplaces, SaaS platforms, and any site that accepts user-generated content. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) enforces consumer protection online in Ireland.

The Electronic Commerce Act 2000 recognises electronic contracts and signatures and implements EU information obligations for online businesses, including identifying the operator, CRO number and VAT number, and providing contact details and a description of the service.
Consumer Protection Online
