2. Use of This Website

You may use this website for lawful purposes and to learn about Edel Regan Architects, our architectural services, projects and related information.

You must not:

• use the website in any way that breaches applicable law or regulation;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its server or any connected system;
• introduce viruses, malicious code or other harmful material;

• use the website or its content in a way that infringes the rights of Edel Regan Architects or any third party.

We may restrict or withdraw access to all or part of the website where reasonably necessary, including for maintenance, security or misuse.

3. Website Information

The information on this website is provided for general information only. We make reasonable efforts to keep it accurate and current, but we do not guarantee that it is complete, accurate or suitable for your particular circumstances.

Architectural, planning, construction, sustainability and design information provided on this website does not constitute professional advice. You should not rely on website content as a substitute for advice based on the specific circumstances of your site, property or project.

Images, drawings, plans, visualisations, measurements, costs, timelines and project descriptions are illustrative unless expressly stated otherwise. Project outcomes may vary due to planning requirements, site conditions, building regulations, budget, contractor availability and other factors.

4. Architectural Services and Project Appointments

Your use of this website does not create an architect-client relationship or any other professional appointment between you and Edel Regan Architects.

Submitting an enquiry, requesting a consultation or discussing a potential project does not require either party to proceed. An appointment for architectural or related professional services will arise only when the scope, fees and applicable terms have been agreed in writing.

Any architectural services we provide will be governed by the separate proposal, letter of appointment, scope of services or professional services agreement issued for the relevant project. If those project-specific terms conflict with these website terms, the project-specific terms will apply to the professional services.

5. Consultations, Quotations and Fees

Information about consultations, services or indicative fees displayed on the website may be changed or withdrawn at any time before an appointment is confirmed.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, quotations are estimates based on the information available when they are issued. Additional services, changes to the brief, unexpected site conditions, statutory requirements or third-party costs may affect the final fee.

Any payment terms, cancellation terms, expenses, taxes and third-party charges relating to professional services will be set out in the applicable written proposal or appointment agreement.

6. Planning Permission and Other Approvals

We cannot guarantee that planning permission, building control approval, fire safety certification, disability access certification, grant approval or any other statutory or third-party approval will be obtained.

Decisions on applications are made by the relevant authorities or third parties. Any statements concerning the prospects, timing or likely outcome of an application are professional opinions only and are not guarantees.

7. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise stated, all content on this website—including text, photographs, drawings, plans, graphics, logos, branding, layouts, project information and other materials—is owned by or licensed to Edel Regan Architects and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

You may view the website and print or download a reasonable amount of content for your personal, non-commercial reference. You must not reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, sell, license, commercially exploit or create derivative works from website content without our prior written permission.

Nothing on this website grants permission to use our name, logo, drawings, designs or other intellectual property except as expressly allowed in these terms.

8. Project Images and Third-Party Rights

Project photographs and descriptions may include work carried out with clients, consultants, contractors, photographers and other contributors. Their inclusion on this website does not grant visitors any right to reuse them.

Where third-party material appears on the website, the rights in that material remain with the relevant owner.

9. Links to Other Websites

This website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. These links are provided for convenience and information only.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices or services. The inclusion of a link does not necessarily mean that we approve or endorse the linked website or its operator.

10. Website Availability and Security

We aim to keep the website available and secure, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. The website may occasionally be unavailable due to maintenance, updates, technical problems or circumstances outside our control.

You are responsible for using suitable devices, software and security measures when accessing the website. We do not guarantee that the website will always be free from viruses or other harmful components.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Edel Regan Architects will not be liable for loss or damage arising solely from your use of, inability to use or reliance on general information provided through this website.

We will not be responsible for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of data or damage caused by third-party websites, website interruptions or events outside our reasonable control.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any rights that cannot legally be excluded under Irish law.

Any liability arising from architectural or other professional services will be governed by the applicable written appointment agreement and the law applying to that agreement.

12. Privacy and Cookies

We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we use it and the rights available to you.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies. Information about their use and your available choices should be provided through our cookie notice or cookie policy.

13. Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions affects any mandatory rights available to you under Irish consumer law.

If you purchase a service as a consumer, additional information and rights may apply depending on how and where the agreement is concluded. The relevant service proposal or appointment terms will provide the details that apply to that transaction.
