Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms and Eligibility

You may use the Site only if you are at least 16 years old and capable of forming a binding contract under applicable law. If you are under 18, you may use the Site only with the involvement and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes become effective 14 days after being posted on this page, unless a change is required by law or relates to safety, security, or fraud prevention, in which case it may be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Site after changes are effective means you accept the updated Terms.

2. Educational Purpose and Important DIY Disclaimer

Dublin Insight Studio provides educational content related to interior painting, decorative wall finishes, colour selection, and practical home improvement techniques. The materials are intended for general information and learning. They are not a substitute for professional, on-site assessment.

Home projects involve risks, including but not limited to dust exposure, fumes, working at height, tool injury, electrical hazards, and underlying building issues (such as persistent damp, mould, or structural movement). You are responsible for choosing appropriate methods for your situation, following product labels and local safety guidance, and stopping work if conditions appear unsafe. If a project requires licensed trades or specialist remediation, you should engage a qualified professional.

We do not make guarantees about outcomes. Results depend on substrate condition, environment (humidity, temperature, ventilation), tool quality, and technique. Any time estimates or checklists are guidance, not a promise.

3. Service Description and Availability

The Site includes written guides, tutorials, and information about workshop-style learning. We may add, remove, or modify content and features at any time. We do not guarantee that the Site will be available without interruption, that any content will remain available permanently, or that the Site will be compatible with all devices and browsers.

The Site is offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we aim for clarity and accuracy, painting and decorating methods can vary by product line, substrate type, and regional building practices.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Site lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

• Use the Site in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its servers, or systems.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network connected to the Site.
• Use automated tools (including bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to access or extract content, except as permitted by standard browser functionality and robots.txt where applicable.
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site, including by introducing malware, viruses, or harmful code.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity when contacting us.
• Submit false, misleading, or unlawful content through forms, including spam or unsolicited promotions.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Site (in whole or in part) if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if necessary to protect the Site, users, or our operations.

5. Intellectual Property

The Site and its content, including text, lesson structure, visual design, logos, and code, are owned by or licensed to Dublin Insight Studio Ltd and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except where explicitly stated otherwise, all rights are reserved.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Site for your personal, non-commercial learning purposes. This licence does not permit you to:

6. Your Submissions (Contact Forms)

If you contact us through the Site, you agree that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge and does not infringe the rights of others. Please do not include sensitive personal data (such as health information, government identifiers, or payment card details) in your message.

We use the information you submit to respond to your enquiry and provide workshop or learning support details. For more information about how we handle personal data and cookies, please review our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

The Site may reference third-party products or services (for example, paint categories, tools, or external standards). Unless expressly stated, such references are for educational clarity and do not constitute endorsement. We are not responsible for third-party websites, content, policies, or availability.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Dublin Insight Studio Ltd disclaims all warranties and conditions, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from harmful components. We do not warrant that any content is complete, current, or suitable for your specific project. You assume full responsibility for the decisions you make based on the Site.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Dublin Insight Studio Ltd will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site.

To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total liability for all claims arising from or related to the Site will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 100.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dublin Insight Studio Ltd and its directors, officers, employees, and contractors from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Site, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your infringement of any rights of another person or entity.

11. Force Majeure

We are not responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, extreme weather, power failures, telecommunications or internet outages, war, civil unrest, public health emergencies, cyberattacks, or failures of hosting and cloud infrastructure providers.

12. International Use

The Site is intended for an Irish audience, but it may be accessed from other jurisdictions. We make no representation that content is appropriate or available for use in every location. You are responsible for compliance with local laws if you access the Site from outside Ireland.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The courts of Dublin, Ireland, will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site, except where mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise.

Before filing a formal claim, you agree to contact us and allow a 30-day period to attempt to resolve the issue informally. This does not limit any statutory rights you may have.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms, if required by law, or if necessary to protect the Site and its users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Dublin Insight Studio Ltd regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.

17. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganisation, or sale of assets, or as otherwise permitted by law.

18. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of Dublin Insight Studio Ltd.

19. Modifications to the Site

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Site at any time, including content areas, lesson formats, and features. Where practical, we will provide notice of significant changes, especially where they affect how you contact us or manage privacy choices.
