You must provide clear, accurate and complete instructions. We are entitled to rely on the accuracy of information provided by you and are not responsible for errors or delays arising from incomplete or inaccurate instructions.

You are responsible for payment of all agreed legal fees, outlays and applicable taxes. Additional fees or outlays may arise where work falls outside the scope assumed at quotation stage. We will notify you where required by law.

We conduct conflict checks before accepting instructions. If a conflict arises which prevents us from continuing to act, we may be required to cease acting in accordance with our professional obligations.
We are required to comply with anti-money laundering legislation, including verification of identity and source of funds. We may be required to make disclosures to statutory authorities without notice to you where required by law.
We will treat your information as confidential, subject to legal and regulatory obligations. Personal data will be processed in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
We may communicate with you by email, telephone, post and secure digital platforms. Electronic communications may carry inherent security risks.
If we give a professional undertaking on your behalf in reliance on your instructions, you may not withdraw or vary those instructions once the undertaking has been given.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability to you arising out of this engagement, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise, shall be limited to the greater of:
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such limitation is not permitted by law, including liability for fraud or fraudulent concealment.
You may terminate your instructions at any time. We may cease acting where permitted by law or regulation, including for non-payment of fees or where continuing to act would breach our professional obligations.
We will retain your file in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. We may charge reasonable storage or retrieval fees where applicable.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Ireland and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
By instructing us to proceed with your mortgage switch, you confirm your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Business.
