We may use a combination of human review and automated tools to detect, prioritise, review, block, remove or restrict comments or other user generated content before or after publication where they may be illegal, infringe third party rights or breach these Terms of Use. Notwithstanding this, you are solely responsible for, and bear the legal risk associated with, any such content you may post anywhere in the world.

We will co-operate with law enforcement or regulatory authorities, including An Garda Sochna and Irish regulatory authorities where applicable, or any court order requesting or requiring disclosure of the identity, location or other information relating to anyone who has submitted content to the Site in breach or allegedly in breach of these Terms of Use or the law. In appropriate circumstances, we may also disclose such information to your Internet service provider and any third party to whom we may make a disclosure in good faith.
You acknowledge that submitting content to the Site does not guarantee that it will appear on the Site. Where the relevant functionality is made available, you may have a short period after submission in which to edit your comment. You may not otherwise edit or remove content once you have submitted it to the Site. However, if you would like to make a complaint about, or report, specific user generated content on the Site, including comments or other content which you consider to be illegal or otherwise in breach of these Terms of Use, please use the complaints, reporting or contact route made available on the Site and further described below.
DIGITAL SERVICES ACT, ILLEGAL CONTENT REPORTS AND COMMENTS
Where we make commenting functionality or other user generated content features available on the Site, you must use those features responsibly and in accordance with these Terms of Use. We may moderate, review, restrict, remove or disable access to comments or other user generated content where we consider this necessary or appropriate, including where content is illegal, infringes third party rights, breaches these Terms of Use, is technically harmful or may expose us, users or third parties to legal, regulatory, security or reputational risk.
If you believe that a specific item of content on the Site is illegal, you may notify us using the electronic reporting mechanism or contact route designated on the Site for illegal content reports. To help us assess your notice, you should include: (a) a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why you believe the content is illegal; (b) the exact electronic location of the content, such as the relevant URL, and any additional information reasonably necessary to identify it; (c) your name and email address, unless the law permits or requires anonymous reporting for the relevant category of content; and (d) a statement that you have a bona fide belief that the information and allegations in your notice are accurate and complete. Other in-article reporting tools may be used for reporting breaches of our policies or community standards, but reports of illegal content should be submitted through the designated illegal content reporting route unless that tool directs you into that route.
We will process notices concerning suspected illegal content in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner. Where you provide electronic contact details, we will acknowledge receipt of your notice without undue delay and will notify you of our decision in respect of the content to which the notice relates, including information on any available redress options. Where required by applicable law, we may also provide a statement of reasons to a user affected by a decision to remove, disable access to, restrict the visibility of, or suspend or terminate access in respect of, their comment, user generated content or account. We may use automated tools as part of our moderation, notice-handling and decision-making processes and will provide information on that use where required by applicable law.
Where required by applicable law, we may make available an internal review or complaint route for certain moderation decisions and may publish or make available transparency information about our content moderation activities.
We may suspend or terminate access to commenting functionality, user generated content features or your User Account where you misuse those features, repeatedly submit content that is illegal or breaches these Terms of Use, or repeatedly submit manifestly unfounded notices or complaints, provided that we will take account of the facts and circumstances known to us and any applicable requirements under Irish or EU law.
RIGHTS YOU ARE GIVING US IN CONTENT YOU EITHER SEND TO US FOR PUBLICATION OR UPLOAD ON THE SITE OR POST ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS
If you send us, upload or post content, you grant us a perpetual, royalty free, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and licence to use, reproduce, publish, communicate to the public, translate, create derivative works from and distribute such content into any form, medium or technology now known or hereafter developed. In addition, you waive any and all moral rights in such content.
By sending us content for publication you confirm that you either own the copyright in the content, and/or are legally entitled to provide it to us, and that you have the consent of all of the people in the content. If the content features a child, or children, you confirm that you are the parent or guardian of the child, or children, and have the legal right to grant consent (or the parent or guardian of the child, or children, has granted such consent).
COMPETITIONS AND PRIZE DRAWS
By registering an account on the Site, and/or by holding an eligible paid subscription where a promotion is expressly identified as a subscriber benefit, you may have access to enter competitions and/or prize draws on the Site. Each competition or prize draw will be subject to separate promotion-specific terms and conditions, which will set out the promoter, eligibility criteria, opening and closing dates, method of entry, any free route of entry, prize details, winner selection process and winner notification arrangements.
Competitions and prize draws may be operated by third parties and, where they are, this will be made clear to you and additional terms and conditions between that third party and you will apply.
Whether we or a third party operate the competition or prize draw, you may be dealing with other third parties directly as a result of it. Any contracts or arrangements with those third parties will be between you and them, and we will not be a party to them or liable for them, except to the extent required by law.
Competition entry is not guaranteed by holding a subscription unless the applicable promotion terms expressly say so. Any competition or prize draw is intended to be incidental to the subscription benefits and the subscription fee is payable for access to the relevant digital content and/or digital services, not as a separate charge for entry to a competition or prize draw. Where a promotion involves a prize and winner selection by chance, entry will not be conditional on purchasing or holding a paid subscription unless a lawful permit, licence or exemption applies, and a genuine and equivalent free route of entry will be provided where required under applicable Irish gaming, gambling or lottery laws. Marketing consent will not be made a condition of competition entry unless permitted by applicable law.
DO NOT RELY ON INFORMATION ON THE SITE
The content on the Site is provided as-is and for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the content on the Site.

The onus for ensuring that content presented on the Internet is legal rests with the original content provider, and we will not be under any obligations to limit access to material unless notified that it is illegal or otherwise in breach of these Terms of Use. Notwithstanding, we shall have the right to remove any items we believe may be illegal or otherwise in breach of these Terms of Use.
Sometimes we include links to other websites; if you click on one and make a purchase of a product or service, we may receive a commission.
OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND TRADE MARKS
The intellectual property in all design, text, graphics and other material (other than user generated content) and the selection or arrangement of such material on the Site is owned by us and/or our respective licensors.

We shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Site and any information it holds are kept secure. However, due to the nature of the Internet, we cannot accept any liability for those who intentionally attempt to and/or gain unauthorised access to the same by means such as, without limitation, computer hacking (save to the extent that we are unable to exclude such liability by law) and we do not warrant that the Site or any of its contents are free of viruses or malware.

PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION
Premium Subscription is a paid digital subscription service provided on some of the Reach Groups websites which allows subscribers to access exclusive subscriber-only journalism and other digital content or digital services across brand-specific websites and apps. Depending on the subscription tier selected, your subscription may include different benefits, such as access to premium articles, e-editions, archives, newsletters, podcasts, puzzles, reduced advertising experiences, or other subscriber-only features. Please note, advertorial content and certain advertising may still be displayed on the Site when accessed via your Premium Subscription. Premium Subscription is not for business use.
Please note that a separate subscription and payment of an additional subscription fee will be required for access to Premium Subscriptions on other Reach Group websites.
By subscribing to a Premium Subscription, you agree to these Terms of Use and to any subscription information and tier-specific terms shown to you during the order process.
These Terms of Use apply to digital subscriptions purchased directly via our website. If you subscribe to a Premium Subscription via the Apple App Store, Amazon Appstore, Google Play Store or another third-party platform, additional platform terms may apply and cancellation, renewal management and refunds may need to be managed through that platform.
These Terms of Use also apply to any Premium Subscription purchased directly from us.
Before you subscribe, the subscription information presented to you should identify the selected tier, the main characteristics of that tier, the total price inclusive of VAT, billing frequency, minimum term if any, automatic renewal position, cancellation route, any trial or promotional terms, and any material access restrictions, including device, account, geographic, browser, app store, content availability or concurrent-user restrictions.
If any personalised pricing based on automated decision-making or profiling is used for your subscription, this will be disclosed to you before you place your order.
Your Premium Subscription
Please read the subscription information presented to you before purchasing a Premium Subscription. You may only place an order for a Premium Subscription if you are an individual consumer acting for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession and you are at least 18 years old.
For information on how Premium Subscriptions work with regard to your personal data, please see our Privacy Notice.
A Premium Subscription does not include the features of Privacy Plus unless this is expressly stated in the subscription information for the tier you select.
If you want the benefits of Privacy Plus with your Premium Subscription, and those benefits are not included in your selected tier, you will need to purchase a separate Privacy Plus subscription in addition to your Premium Subscription. Contract acceptance for a Premium Subscription is separate from any marketing, cookie, profiling or other optional consent. Non-essential cookies and similar technologies will only be used where we have an appropriate legal basis and, where required, your consent.
Price and Payment
Premium Subscriptions are available on the billing basis and at the price shown to you during the order process. Depending on which Reach Group website you are using and which tier you select, the cost, billing frequency, benefits and access restrictions may vary. The price shown to you before purchase will be inclusive of VAT and will identify any recurring charge. We will email you confirmation of your initial order and provide these Terms of Use and relevant cancellation information in a durable medium.
From time to time, we may offer free trials, introductory offers or promotional rates for Premium Subscriptions. If you have been offered a trial, introductory offer or promotional rate, the offer terms shown to you before you sign up will state when the offer begins and ends, what is included, whether payment details are required, the amount and billing frequency that will apply after the offer ends, how to cancel before payment is taken, and whether the subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription. Unless cancelled in accordance with these Terms of Use, your subscription will automatically transfer into the paid plan notified to you when you signed up to the offer and you will be charged using the payment method you provided.
Sometimes we reject orders to subscribe for a Premium Subscription, for example, because we have been unable to pre-authorise the payment, you are under 18 or there has been a mistake regarding the pricing of the Premium Subscription, and when this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.
You agree to pay the price at the rate notified to you at the time you take out your Premium Subscription. We may change the price of any Premium Subscription, remove and/or offer certain other subscription services from time to time. We will provide you with at least 30 days notice ahead of any increase in the price of your Premium Subscription and will offer you an opportunity to cancel your Premium Subscription before the new price takes effect.
When you place an order for a Premium Subscription, you must provide complete and accurate payment information. By submitting payment details, you confirm that you are entitled to purchase a Premium Subscription using those payment details. If we do not receive payment authorisation from the card issuer, bank or other payment provider, or if any authorisation is subsequently cancelled, we will not accept your order and we may terminate or suspend your access to your Premium Subscription where lawful to do so. It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment and contact details are up to date and that funds are available for continuation of the service. You can update your details via your User Account.
The price of all Premium Subscriptions is inclusive of VAT. If the applicable rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
Where your paid Premium Subscription is an online content service within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2017/1128, and you are resident in Ireland, we will allow you to access and use the service when you are temporarily present in another EU Member State in the same manner as in Ireland, without additional charges, subject to lawful residence verification and any technical requirements explained to you.
In order to purchase and use a Premium Subscription you will need to register for a user account (see above for more information). By submitting your payment and other subscription details and clicking a clearly labelled payment button, such as Subscribe and Pay, Start Paid Subscription or equivalent wording, you are making an offer to buy a Premium Subscription, expressly acknowledging that the order involves an obligation to pay, and, where the order process requires it, expressly consenting to immediate access to paid digital content during the 14-day cancellation period and acknowledging that you will lose the statutory change-of-mind cancellation right once access begins. Your offer will only be accepted by us and a contract formed once we have verified your details and sent you a confirmation email, at which point we will provide you with access to your Premium Subscription. We reserve the right to reject any offer by you at our discretion.
Auto renewal
After any minimum term, free-trial period or promotional period specified in the subscription information or order process, your Premium Subscription will automatically renew monthly, annually or at the renewal interval notified to you at purchase, at the rate notified to you when you take out your Premium Subscription, unless and until either you or we cancel or end the Premium Subscription in accordance with these Terms of Use. Before you subscribe, we will identify the renewal frequency, renewal price, any minimum term and how you can cancel before renewal.
We will take payment using the same card or other payment method that you previously used or supplied to us in the order process. All credit card and debit card payments need to be authorised by the relevant card issuer. In the event we are unable to take payment for any reason, we will try to contact you using the contact details you have provided to us.
You are responsible for making the arrangements necessary to access your Premium Subscription. In particular, you are responsible for ensuring that your computer, browser and/or portable device meets any compatibility requirements notified to you before purchase and for keeping your payment and contact details up to date. You can update your details via your User Account.
Your User Account and Premium Subscription are personal to you and may not be shared with any third party, unless the subscription information for your selected tier expressly allows household, family or other shared access.
How Can I Cancel My Subscription?
You can cancel your Premium Subscription at any time by accessing your User Account or by using any other cancellation method made available to you in the subscription information or confirmation email. Where you have a statutory right to withdraw from an online distance contract, we will make available an online withdrawal function during the withdrawal period and will acknowledge receipt of your withdrawal request in a durable medium without undue delay. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not automatically affect any statutory withdrawal or refund rights that may apply.
If you are a consumer resident in Ireland and you purchase a Premium Subscription online, you may have a statutory right to withdraw within 14 days of contract conclusion. However, by purchasing a Premium Subscription, you request and expressly consent to receiving immediate access to the paid digital content during that 14-day period and acknowledge that, once access begins, you will lose your statutory right to cancel during that period on a change-of-mind basis. We will provide confirmation of your contract, including your consent and acknowledgement, in a durable medium. This does not affect your right to cancel future renewals under these Terms of Use or any statutory rights or remedies you may have where the digital content or digital service is faulty, not supplied, unavailable, not as described or otherwise does not conform with the contract.
Can I get a refund?
Once access to your paid Premium Subscription has begun with your express consent and acknowledgement as described above, you will not be entitled to cancel during the 14-day period for a change of mind or receive a refund for any subscription period for which digital access has already begun, unless required by applicable law. Refunds will be paid to the payment method used in the order process where a refund is due.
Cancellation of future renewal will not entitle you to a refund for the current subscription period for a change of mind, except where required by applicable law or where your statutory rights apply because the subscription, digital content or digital service is faulty, not supplied, unavailable, not as described or otherwise does not conform with the contract.
If you cancel a monthly Premium Subscription, you will not receive any refund for that months subscription for a change of mind, but you will continue to have access to your Premium Subscription for the remainder of the period, except where required by applicable law or where your statutory rights apply.
If you cancel an annual Premium Subscription, you will not receive any refund for that years subscription for a change of mind, but you will continue to have access to your Premium Subscription for the remainder of the period, except where required by applicable law or where your statutory rights apply.
If there is something wrong with the service
If you think there is something wrong with the Premium Subscription service, please contact our Customer Service Team using the contact details, email address, telephone number or customer support route notified to you on the Site and in your subscription confirmation email.
We are under a legal duty to supply you with digital content and/or digital services that comply with these Terms of Use and with the statutory requirements that apply under Irish and EU consumer law, including requirements relating to description, functionality, compatibility, interoperability, durability, security and necessary updates where applicable. If the Premium Subscription is not in conformity with the contract, you may be entitled to have the issue remedied free of charge, within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, or to receive a proportionate price reduction or terminate the relevant contract where required by law. Nothing in these Terms of Use affects your legal rights.
If we need to make changes to the service
We can make changes to the Premium Subscription without giving you notice where the change is necessary to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, to maintain security, or to ensure the service remains in conformity with applicable requirements, provided the change does not materially reduce the main benefits of your selected tier.
Should we need to make material changes to these Terms of Use, the price, the renewal terms or the main benefits of your selected subscription tier, we will give you reasonable advance notice and, where required by law, an opportunity to cancel before the change takes effect.
If we need to suspend or withdraw your Premium Subscription
We may suspend the supply of your Premium Subscription to deal with technical problems, make minor technical changes, update the service to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or make other changes permitted by these Terms of Use.
If we decide to withdraw the Premium Subscription service, we will let you know at least 30 days in advance and will refund any sums that you have paid in advance for any part of the service that will no longer be provided. Details of any such refund will be set out in the notice we send to you.
When we have the right to end your Premium Subscription
We can cancel your Premium Subscription at any time if:
you don't make any payment to us when it's due and you still don't make payment within 14 days of our reminding you that payment is due;
you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information, cooperation or access that we need to provide your Premium Subscription; or
you breach these Terms of Use.
Important Information - Additional Limits on Our Liability
Where your Premium Subscription includes an ad-lite experience, this means that you will be shown fewer standard advertising display formats within the article pages that you read. Some articles may still contain commercial messages, sponsored content, affiliate links or other advertising where applicable.
Where information in the Site is provided by our third party partners, we cannot confirm the accuracy of their content, and any use of such content is at your own risk.
Our aim is to provide a good service to you. However, due to the nature of digital services, the Site and Premium Subscription may be temporarily unavailable, interrupted or affected by maintenance, technical issues, security incidents, content updates or events outside our control. We will not be responsible for such matters except where we are liable under applicable law, including where we fail to supply digital content or digital services in conformity with the contract or fail to use reasonable care and skill.
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage resulting from your use of the Site or Premium Subscription except where we are liable under applicable law, including where we fail to supply digital content or digital services in conformity with the contract or fail to use reasonable care and skill.
Nothing in these Terms of Use limits any statutory remedies available to you where the Premium Subscription, digital content or digital service is not supplied in conformity with the contract. Subject to those statutory rights and to any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, your remedy for dissatisfaction with editorial content or optional features is to stop accessing and using the Site or to cancel future renewals in accordance with these Terms of Use.
Resolving disputes with us
You can contact us using the customer support route notified to you on the Site and in your subscription confirmation email. Our Customer Service Team will do their best to resolve any problems you have with us or our provision of your Premium Subscription. This does not affect your right to seek assistance from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission or the European Consumer Centre Ireland where applicable.
Privacy Plus Subscription Terms
Privacy Plus is a subscription model offered on some of the Reach Groups websites that provides an option for viewing the applicable website and the articles on it without personalised advertising or personal advertising data tracking. This means that, in return for a subscription fee, you can access the same content without sharing your personal data for personalised advertising purposes.
Please note that a separate subscription and payment of an additional subscription fee will be required for access to Privacy Plus on other Reach Group websites.
For further information on how Privacy Plus works with regard to your personal data, please see our Privacy Notice.
You must be at least 18 years old to subscribe to Privacy Plus.
Depending on which Reach Group website you are using, the cost of each Privacy Plus subscription will be the price shown to you before you subscribe and will be charged at the billing frequency shown to you during the order process. We reserve the right to increase the cost of the service from time to time. If we intend to increase the cost of the subscription, we will give you at least 30 days notice and will offer you an opportunity to cancel before the new price takes effect. If we make other material changes to this Privacy Plus section, we will give you reasonable notice, except where changes are necessary to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements or to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.
You can cancel your Privacy Plus subscription at any time by accessing your User Account or using any other cancellation method made available to you. Where you purchase Privacy Plus online as a consumer resident in Ireland, you may have a statutory right to withdraw within 14 days of contract conclusion. However, by purchasing Privacy Plus, you request and expressly consent to receiving immediate access to the service during that 14-day period and acknowledge that, once access begins, you will lose your statutory right to cancel during that period on a change-of-mind basis. We will provide confirmation of your contract, including your consent and acknowledgement, in a durable medium. Where you have a statutory right to withdraw from an online distance contract, we will make available an online withdrawal function during the withdrawal period and will acknowledge receipt of your withdrawal request in a durable medium without undue delay. Cancellation stops future renewals. You will not be entitled to any refund of the latest subscription fee you have paid for a change of mind once immediate access has begun with your consent and acknowledgement, except where required by applicable law or where your statutory rights apply. You will continue to benefit from the Privacy Plus service for the remainder of that latest subscription period.
We may amend or suspend the supply of Privacy Plus to deal with technical problems, make minor technical changes, update the service to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or make other changes permitted by these Terms of Use. If we tell you that we are going to materially amend or suspend the Privacy Plus service for more than 30 days, or withdraw it entirely, we will explain how to contact us and will refund any sums that you have paid in advance for the part of the service that you will not receive.
We can end your subscription with us and claim any compensation due to us if:
you don't make any payment to us when it's due and you still don't make payment within 14 days of our reminding you that payment is due;
you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information, cooperation or access that we need to provide Privacy Plus; or
you breach these Terms of Use.
We are not responsible for processing of your personal data by third parties where we have instructed them not to do so, except where we are responsible under applicable data protection law. To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for loss or damage resulting from your use of Privacy Plus. Nothing in this paragraph limits any statutory rights or remedies available to you where Privacy Plus is not supplied in conformity with the contract or where liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
We can transfer our contract with you so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying Privacy Plus to you, provided this does not reduce your rights under the contract. You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this. Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us.
If you have any complaints about the Privacy Plus service, please contact us using the complaints or contact route made available on the Site. This does not affect your right to seek assistance from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission or the European Consumer Centre Ireland where applicable.
Nothing in this section (Privacy Plus - Subscription Terms) affects your statutory rights under applicable Irish and EU consumer law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2022 where you are a consumer resident in Ireland.
HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND COOKIES
We will use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Notice. We will use cookies and similar technologies as set out in our Cookie Notice. Contractual acceptance of these Terms of Use is separate from any marketing, cookie, profiling or other optional consent, and you may manage those choices through the relevant privacy, cookie or account settings made available to you.
CLAIMS MADE AGAINST US BY THIRD PARTIES
Where a claim is brought against us by a third party in relation to your use of the Site, you agree to reimburse us and the companies within our group for losses, costs, actions, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities suffered or incurred as a consequence of your breach of these Terms of Use, except to the extent that this would be unlawful or unfair under applicable consumer law.
WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THINGS BEYOND OUR CONTROL
We are not liable for things beyond our control, such as power failure and problems on the Internet.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to the Site or any content on it, to the extent that it is lawful to do so and without excluding or restricting any mandatory statutory rights or remedies available to consumers.
We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, even if foreseeable, arising under or in connection with:
use of, or inability to use, the Site; or
use of or reliance on any content displayed on the Site.
We will not be liable for:
loss of profits, sales, business, or revenue;
business interruption;
loss of anticipated savings;
loss of business opportunity, goodwill or reputation; or
any indirect or consequential loss or damage.
If defective digital content that we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will provide the remedy required by applicable law, which may include repairing the damage or paying equivalent compensation.
If any provision (or part of a provision) of these Terms of Use is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall remain in force.
If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision would be valid, enforceable or legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with whatever modification is necessary to give effect to the commercial intention of the parties.
THESE TERMS ARE PERSONAL TO YOU
