Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the DublinScope website and related content, including guides, articles, educational resources, and any contact or workshop interest forms (together, the “Services”). The Services are operated by DublinScope Studio Ltd (“DublinScope,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Acceptance of Terms and Minimum Age

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Services. If you are under 18, you should use the Services only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf. You represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

2. Educational Nature of the Services

DublinScope provides educational and lifestyle-focused information about sneaker culture, footwear materials and construction, care routines, fit considerations, and streetwear styling fundamentals. The Services are offered for general informational purposes and are not a substitute for professional advice from a qualified specialist, such as a podiatrist, orthotist, or medical professional for foot pain, injury, or medical conditions.

Any examples, terminology explanations, or references to styles and categories are presented for education. The Services are not an online shop, and we do not provide investment, income, or resale-profit guidance. If you are seeking purchasing advice, use your own judgment and consult independent sources.

3. Changes to the Services

We may update, reorganise, add, remove, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We aim to keep the platform accurate and useful, but we do not guarantee that all content will remain available or unchanged. Where changes materially affect these Terms, we will update the “Last Updated” date and, where appropriate, provide notice on the site.

4. Contact and Workshop Interest Forms

If the Services allow you to send a message or request workshop updates, you agree to provide accurate and complete information and to keep your message respectful and relevant. We use the details you submit to respond and to communicate about workshop availability or related educational updates. For more information on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

We do not promise that a workshop will be available at a particular time, in a particular format, or at a particular location. Any scheduling, capacity, or attendance requirements will be communicated separately if relevant.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Services. In particular, you must not:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Services, servers, or systems, or attempt to bypass security or rate limits.
• Use automated means (including bots, scrapers, spiders, or crawlers) to access or collect data from the Services without our prior written consent.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute malware, viruses, or other harmful code.
• Submit false, misleading, or impersonating information through our forms.
• Use the Services to send spam, unsolicited promotions, or irrelevant mass messages.
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services.
• Use the Services in a way that violates applicable laws or regulations.

We may suspend or restrict access if we reasonably believe your use is unlawful, harmful, or violates these Terms.

6. Intellectual Property

The Services, including text, design, layout, graphics, logos, site code, and compilation of content, are owned by or licensed to DublinScope Studio Ltd and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted by these Terms, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, or exploit any part of the Services without our prior written permission.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use. This licence does not allow you to republish our guides or articles on other websites, social platforms, or newsletters without permission.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may reference third-party products, materials, brands, or external resources for educational context. Any such references do not imply endorsement. If the Services include links to third-party websites, those sites are operated independently, and we do not control their content, privacy practices, or availability. You access third-party services at your own risk.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components. Content may be updated, corrected, or removed, and some information may become outdated over time due to changes in materials, manufacturing methods, or brand specifications.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DublinScope Studio Ltd and its directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Services will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) €100.

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

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DublinScope Studio Ltd from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your misuse of the Services, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

11. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, power outages, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labour disputes, pandemics, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, or failures of cloud or hosting providers.

12. International Use

DublinScope is based in Ireland and is intended for a general audience interested in sneaker culture and streetwear education. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in all jurisdictions. If you access the Services from outside Ireland, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

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

Before commencing formal proceedings, you agree to contact us and allow at least 30 days for an informal resolution. You can reach us at [email protected].

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or others. You may stop using the Services at any time.

Sections relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law will survive termination.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, 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 DublinScope regarding the Services and supersede any prior understandings on the same subject.

17. Assignment

We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, or by operation of law. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

18. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of DublinScope Studio Ltd.

19. Modifications to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will become effective 14 days after the updated Terms are posted, unless the changes are required by law or are administrative in nature (in which case they may take effect immediately). Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

20. Electronic Communications

By using the Services and communicating with us electronically, you consent to receive communications from us electronically. You agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
