By accessing ThePost.ie and its associated micro-sites, known both collectively and individually in these Terms as the "Website" you are agreeing to be legally bound by these terms as modified from time to time ("Terms"). Your use of the Website constitutes your agreement to the Terms.

1. Use of Website

The Website is owned and operated by The Sunday Business Post Limited, (in these Terms "SBP" mean The Sunday Business Post). SBP reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Website at any time, with or without notice or explanation.

2. Rights

All intellectual property rights, including copyright, in the content displayed on the Website ("Content") belong to SBP or its licensors. All rights are hereby reserved.

3. Use of Content

The Website and the Content may only be used for your personal, non-commercial use.

For this purpose alone you may retrieve and display the Content on a computer screen. You may also print out, but not photocopy, one copy of individual files on paper and store files in electronic form on disc, but not on any server or any other storage device connected to a network where the pages could be accessed by other users.

Except as set out above, you agree not to download, copy, reproduce, modify, store, archive, show in public, redistribute or commercially exploit in any way any part of the Content without the prior written permission of SBP. You agree not to use the Content for any illegal or improper purpose. You also agree to abide by all copyright notices and restrictions attached to the Content and not to remove or alter any such notice or restriction or alter the Content in any way.

4. Links from other sites 4. Links from other sites Third parties are permitted to link to stories within SBP websites, using the URL and quoting the headline and the source website. Brief extracts from a story are permitted provided they are not substantive. Requests for more extensive material should be directed to john.dunne@sbpost.ie

A third party must ensure that nothing on its own web site suggests or could be understood to imply that any part of the website is part of its own web site unless the third party has obtained the prior written approval of SBP.

SBP reserves the right to withdraw any permission without explanation or notice if in its sole judgement use of such links is excessive or inappropriate. SBP also reserves the right to change the location and nature of files within the website without explanation or notice; it is the responsibility of the third party to check and update links as necessary.

5. Limitation of liability and disclaimer

SBP obtains the Content from a wide range of sources and it includes facts, views, opinions and information likely to be of interest to users of the Website.

While all reasonable care is taken, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, performance or fitness for any particular purpose of the Content or the Website, nor do we endorse or accept any responsibility for any views, advice, recommendations or opinions expressed on the Website. You should note that any contact or arrangements made between you and any third party named on the Website is at your own risk, and SBP accepts no liability.

The Content should only be used for your general information and use and not by way of specific recommendation or advice as every individual's circumstances are different.


Before taking any action or decision based in whole or in part on the Content, you should always make your own independent checks of any information that is important in making such decision or taking such action. You should also seek professional advice in appropriate circumstances such as over medical, investment, tax, legal and other professional matters.

SBP does not give any warranties in respect of the Content or the Website, freedom from viruses or other contamination or that the Website is compatible with any computer systems, software and browsers.
All implied warranties or duties are excluded save if and to the extent that they may not lawfully be excluded.

SBP shall not be liable for any claims, losses, injuries, penalties, damages, costs or expenses arising from the use of, or inability to use the Website or Content or from any action taken, or omitted to be taken, as a result of using the Website or Content, other than death or personal injury resulting from use of the Website directly caused by the negligence of SBP.

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you agree that SBP will not be liable to you and/or any third party for any consequential or incidental damages (including but not limited to lost profits, loss of privacy or for failure to fulfil any duty) or for any other indirect, special or punitive damages whatsoever that arise out of or are related to the use of the Website or the Content or to any breach of the terms by SBP, even if SBP has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even in the event of fault or strict liability.

6. Links to third party sites

This Website contains links to other web sites operated by parties who are wholly separate from SBP. Links to all third party sites are identifiable because clicking on them will launch new browser windows displaying the third party's website URLs, or as otherwise signed as such by SBP. Such links are provided for your convenience and reference only and SBP cannot be held responsible in any way for the content, operation or availability of such websites.

7. Co-branded sites

Some third party sites to which links are provided are "co-branded" sites. Such sites are operated by third parties with whom SBP has a commercial association. If you wish to make any purchases or enter any financial dealings on a co-branded site, you may be asked by the third party operator to supply information about yourself and on your financial affairs, including your bank or credit card details. The third party operator will have their own privacy policy and it is up to you to indicate if you would not be prepared to let that third party pass on your personal data. While we select our trading partners with great care, SBP cannot be held liable for any loss or damage whatsoever which you may suffer as a result of your decision to deal with or supply information to any third party.

8. Competitions and prize draws

SBP may on occasion run competitions or prize draws either on its own behalf, for other parties or in conjunction with commercial partners. These will be subject to additional rules and conditions which will be made available at the time of any such competition.

9. Changes to these Terms

SBP reserves the right to make changes to any part of the Website and to add to or change these Terms. It is your responsibility to refer to the Terms whenever you access the Website. Every time you access the Website you agree to be bound by the Terms as varied or amended from time to time.

10. Irish Law

By accessing the Website you agree to accept that these Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ireland. You also accept the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Republic of Ireland in relation to any dispute that may arise in connection with these Terms or your use of the Website or arising in any way from the Content.
