These Terms of Use govern your use of the Podium Finance website.
By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with them, you should not use the website.
2. Information provided on this website
The information contained on this website is provided for general information purposes only.
While we take reasonable care to ensure that information published on the website is accurate and useful, it should not be treated as accounting, tax, legal, financial, investment or other professional advice relating to your particular circumstances.
Tax legislation, Revenue practice, accounting requirements and other laws and regulations can change over time.
Information published on this website may therefore become outdated. You should obtain appropriate professional advice before taking, or refraining from taking, action based on information contained on this website.
3. No accountant-client relationship
Use of this website, including reading its content or making an enquiry through it, does not create an accountant-client, adviser-client or other professional relationship between you and Podium Finance.
A professional relationship will only arise where Podium Finance has agreed to act for you and the terms of the engagement have been confirmed separately. Submitting an enquiry does not oblige Podium Finance to accept an engagement or provide professional services.
4. Professional engagements
Where Podium Finance agrees to provide professional services, those services will be governed by a separate engagement letter and/or terms of business.
Those documents will set out matters including the scope of the services to be provided, the respective responsibilities of Podium Finance and the client, fees and payment arrangements, applicable deadlines and information requirements, confidentiality and data protection, limitations applicable to the engagement, and how the engagement may be terminated.
If there is any conflict between these Website Terms of Use and the terms of a specific professional engagement, the terms of the professional engagement will apply in relation to those services.
5. No services purchased through the website
Professional services cannot currently be purchased directly through this website.
Podium Finance does not accept online payments through the website, collect credit or debit card details through the website, or conclude professional engagements solely through completion of a website form.
Any fees, payment terms and professional engagement arrangements will be agreed separately with the client.
6. Tax and financial information
Commentary, articles, social-media content and any other information appearing on the website may discuss tax, accounting or financial matters. Such material is necessarily general in nature.
The appropriate treatment of any transaction or circumstance will depend on the relevant facts, applicable legislation, Revenue practice and the circumstances of the individual or business concerned.
You should therefore not rely on website content as a substitute for advice tailored to your particular circumstances.
7. Accuracy and availability
We aim to keep the information on this website accurate and up to date but do not guarantee that all content will always be complete, current, accurate, free from errors or suitable for a particular purpose. We may update, amend or remove website content at any time without notice. We also do not guarantee that the website will always be available or uninterrupted.
Access may occasionally be restricted for maintenance, security, technical or other reasons.
8. Your use of the website
You may use this website for lawful personal or business purposes. You must not use the website for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose, attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website or related systems, introduce viruses, malicious software or other harmful material, interfere with the operation or security of the website, use automated systems to extract substantial amounts of content without permission, or use the website in a way that infringes the rights of Podium Finance or any third party.
9. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website, including text, branding, graphics, documents and other materials, is owned by or licensed to Podium Finance and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may view, download or print reasonable extracts from the website for your own personal or internal business use. You may not reproduce, republish, modify, distribute, sell or commercially exploit substantial parts of the website without prior written permission from Podium Finance.
The Podium Finance name, logo and branding may not be reproduced or used in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation or approval without permission.
10. Links to third-party websites
This website may contain links to external websites or resources operated by third parties. Such links are provided for convenience and information only.
Podium Finance does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, accuracy or privacy practices. The inclusion of a link does not necessarily imply endorsement of the third party or its services.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Podium Finance will not be liable for loss or damage arising solely from reliance on general information published on this website where professional advice specific to the user's circumstances has not been sought.
Podium Finance will not be responsible for loss arising from use or inability to use the website, reliance on outdated or incomplete website information, third-party websites linked from this website, interruption or temporary unavailability of the website, or malicious software or other technical issues outside our reasonable control.
Nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to exclude or restrict liability where doing so would be unlawful. Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights that you may have as a consumer.
12. Privacy and personal data
Our collection and use of personal data through this website is governed by our Privacy Notice. Please refer to the Privacy Notice for information about what personal data we collect, why we process it, our service providers, data retention, your data protection rights and how to contact us about your personal data.
13. Website security
We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of this website. However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for ensuring that your own devices, software and internet connection are appropriately protected.
You should not send highly sensitive financial, tax, identity or confidential documentation through a general website enquiry unless Podium Finance has specifically asked you to do so using an appropriate method.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may amend these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in our website, services, business practices or applicable law.
Any revised Terms will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be amended accordingly.
Your continued use of the website following publication of revised Terms will be subject to the updated version.
15. Governing law
These Terms of Use and your use of this website are governed by the laws of Ireland.
Subject to any mandatory consumer rights that may apply, the courts of Ireland will have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from these Terms or use of this website.
