Terms of Use

1. About us and these terms

This website is operated by Mentora Group, the parent company of HLB Ireland and FutureRange, of Suite 7, The Courtyard, Carmanhall Road, Sandyford, Dublin 18, D18 NW62 — phone +353 (0)1 291 5265, email info@hlb.ie.

By accessing or using this website you accept these terms of use. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

2. Information purposes only — not advice

This website is made available for information purposes only. Nothing on it constitutes professional advice of any kind — accounting, audit, tax, legal, investment, financial, technological or otherwise — and nothing on it should be relied upon as such.

Law and regulation change continually, and despite our care, errors or omissions may occur. Information on this site should be treated as indicative only and confirmed with us before you act on it. Using this website does not create a client, engagement or advisory relationship with Mentora Group or with any of its firms — the group's firms act only under written engagement terms agreed with the relevant firm.

3. Intellectual property

The Mentora Group name and logo, the names and logos of HLB Ireland and FutureRange, and all content on this website — text, images, graphics and design — are the property of Mentora Group, its group companies or their licensors. All copyright and other intellectual property rights are reserved.

You may view this site and print or download extracts for your own personal, non-commercial information. Any other use — including commercial use, reproduction, republication or distribution of any material from this site — requires our prior written permission.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use this website in any way that breaches applicable law or regulation;
• introduce viruses, malware or other technologically harmful material;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its hosting infrastructure or any connected system;
• use automated tools to scrape or harvest content or data from the site for commercial purposes.

5. Availability and changes to the site

We may update, change or withdraw any part of this website at any time without notice. We do not guarantee that the site, or any content on it, will always be available or uninterrupted.

6. Disclaimers and liability

You use this website at your own risk. The site and its content are provided "as is" and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representations or warranties of any kind — express or implied — including as to accuracy, completeness, fitness for purpose, or that the site or anything available from it is free of errors, viruses or other harmful components. You are responsible for configuring your own technology to access the site and for using your own virus protection.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for any loss or damage — direct, indirect or consequential, including loss of profit, business, data or goodwill — arising under or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, this website or reliance on any content on it. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded by Irish law.

7. Links

This site links to other websites, including those of HLB Ireland and FutureRange, for your convenience. Those sites have their own terms and privacy policies, we have no control over their content, and — to the extent permitted by law — we exclude all liability arising from any site this site links to. A link does not imply our endorsement.

You may link to our homepage provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not suggest any association or endorsement where none exists. We may withdraw linking permission at any time.

8. Regulatory status

HLB Ireland are Registered Auditors under the Companies Act 1990 and are authorised by Chartered Accountants Ireland to carry on investment business. Services provided by the group's firms — including accounting, tax, advisory and IT services — are governed by the engagement terms agreed in writing with the relevant firm, not by these website terms.

9. Privacy and cookies

Personal data collected through this website is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, which also explains our approach to cookies.

10. General

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. A failure by us to enforce any of these terms is not a waiver of them. We may amend these terms from time to time; the version posted on this page applies from the moment it is published, and your continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of it.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms, their subject matter and formation are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them or from use of this website.
