Effective Date: September 7, 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome—glad you made it. By using AthyIreland.com (“the Site”), you’re bound by these Terms of Service (“ToS”). No take-backs. If you don’t like it, you know the drill: pack up and click away.
2. What You’re Allowed to Do (and What You’re Not)
Allowed:
- Browse, buy, sell, trade with fellow right-minded folk.
- Date, flirt responsibly, write love notes.
- Blog, rant, and occasionally brag.
- Post socially—share victories, disappointments, or that amazing latte photo.
Not Allowed:
- Illegal content or transactions. Keep it kosher.
- Harassment, hate speech, trolling bigger than your ego.
- Spam, scams, Ponzi schemes—save those griefs for your alter ego.
- Posting vampires—if you’re undead or pretending to be, expect banishment.
3. Your Account, Your Responsibility
You’re in charge of keeping your account details under wraps. If someone hijacks your account using those deets, you’re on the hook—for notifying us and fixing it.
4. Content Ownership & Rights
Every word, image, swoon, or quirky blog entry you post? Still yours, kind soul. But by posting, you give AthyIreland.com a worldwide, royalty-free license to do whatever needs doing—display, distribute, archive, remix, or even brew coffee with it (okay, maybe not hangovers, but you get the drift).
5. User Conduct
Behave like you’re visiting your grandma’s living room. Don’t be a jerk—bullying, hate, sexual abuse, harassment, or general nastiness isn’t welcome.
For dating: no catfishing, geo-stalking, or stepping over boundaries. Consent matters—always.
6. Safety & Disclaimer
We’re not the matchmaking cupid or the risk-free market. We provide a platform. You do your due diligence in the real world. If you end up scammed or ghosted, we’re sorry—not sorry enough to bail you out.
7. Brands, Money, and Merch
If you sell anything: you’re legit. You get your own payment system sorted unless you’re using ours. Fees might apply—like it or lump it—but we’ll be upfront.
Sell something illegal or fraudulent? We’ll boot you out faster than you can say “chargeback”.
8. Termination or Suspension
Break the rules, and we’ll either suspend or terminate your access. If you overstep—culpably or creatively—you’re done. This ToS trumps everything. No appeals committee.
9. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to tweak these terms whenever suits us. Changes go live when posted.
If you keep using the site after updates—you’re good with the changes. If not: peace out.
10. Privacy
We’ve got your back… within reason. We use your data to run this place, match you up, and maybe show you relevant ads—because servers don’t run on good vibes alone.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability
We’re not Oracle. The Site is provided “as is.” We cannot guarantee 100% uptime or bug-free operation.
If the dating bot dates your ex again or your listing vanishes? We’re not liable for emotional or financial damage—unless you’re selling highly-ironic vintage Beanie Babies.
12. Dispute Resolution
If you’ve got beef, try sorting it out amicably. If that fails, go take it to binding arbitration in Ireland—or wherever we decide—per applicable law.
Staying petty? We’re not here to referee that.
13. Governing Law
This ToS is governed by Irish law—and if you try to dodge it, you’ll hear from our lawyers with accents you’ll definitely notice.
TL;DR (Because we’re your Gen‑X spirit animal):
- Play fair.
- Own your content.
- We moderate, you date, trade, post—no weirdness.
- Break rules = bye-bye.
- We change the rules—stay or bail.
- Disputes handled calmly.
These terms apply to our facebook groups, pages, and accounts, as well as other social media accounts.
