Website Terms and Conditions

The website has partial information about cancer in Ireland, and is directing you to cancer.ie. our ('main website'), which has extensive information about cancer in Ireland.

All information on this website is presented to inform the public about upcoming Relay for Life events and their potential impact on fundraising and, in turn, as a direct benefit to cancer patients and their families.

The information provided on our websites is not specific to individual people and does not replace the advice of trained medical practitioners.

Our main website and its health information and resources are not meant to be a substitute for professional doctor/patient face-to-face diagnosis or medical advice.

You should not disregard your own professional medical adviser’s opinion, or delay in seeking such an opinion, because of something you read or anticipate reading on this website.

The Society is not responsible for any injury, loss, damage or expense incurred by any individual as a result either directly or indirectly of any information published on this website.

The contents of the website and its subdomains (such as any text, graphics, images, and any other downloadable or non-downloadable material) are protected by copyright under both Irish and foreign laws. You may not sell or modify the content or reproduce, display, communicate, make available, publicly perform, distribute, or otherwise use it in any way for any public or commercial purpose without permission from the Irish Cancer Society.

In particular, the use of the content on any other website or in a networked or wireless computer environment for any purpose is prohibited. The Society authorises you to view and download a single copy of the content on the Site solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

The Society does allow for the update of this website's fundraising environment upon signing up via an event (personal fundraising pages and event pages when updated by designated committee members with appropriately approved accesses) per individual right to those pages, but they cannot include content, such as text and images, that are improper in any way or explicitly offensive in nature to anyone within and outside of the cancer community.

By accessing the website, you acknowledge that email communications sent to you may be subject to interference from third parties. As a consequence, the Society cannot guarantee the privacy or confidentiality of any information passing over the Internet.

You agree not to use the website to cause or permit any content on it to be used:

• To interrupt the operation or integrity of our website.
• For any commercial purpose or cause others to participate in sending chain letters, junk email, spam, duplicative or unsolicited messages, advertising or promotional material.
• To harvest or otherwise collect information about others, including personal data, without their consent.
• To distribute, download, upload or transmit any material which contains virtual viruses or any other harmful applications.
• Contrary to the terms and conditions of any internet service provider whose services you may use.

The Society does not collect unique, identifiable information about users of this website or its subdomains beyond what users explicitly provide, and it is handled confidentially at all times.

General website statistics are collected through Google Analytics and other digital marketing analytical tools. Still, this information is limited to, for example, country of origin, new versus repeat users, and the most popular pages, and includes only explicitly anonymous information about website visitors and about their interaction with the website. We only utilise this information to help us make the website as useful as possible for all our users.

Where users submit personal details (by email or through online forms), this information is treated in strict confidence.

Your personal information will only be shared with selected third-party service providers contracted by the Irish Cancer Society to assist with our operations, and will otherwise be used only internally. Your information will not be shared with any other organisation, other than with your permission, or where required by law.

While the Society takes reasonable care to ensure the website provides accurate information about upcoming events and about Relay for Life in general, the content may contain inaccuracies or typos.

We will make every effort to correct errors brought to our attention that are within our direct responsibility (e.g., on main pages not set up by our users). However, the Society makes no representations or warranties regarding the lawfulness, accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the content, or the results to be obtained from using the website. The use of the website and its content is entirely at your own risk.

The Society shall not be liable, and shall not otherwise be deemed to be in breach of these terms and conditions, for any failure to perform (or delay in performing) any of its obligations hereunder caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

The Society does not warrant that the website and its subdomains will operate error-free or that the website, its subdomains and its servers are free of computer viruses or other harmful elements. If your use of the website and its subdomains results in the need to service or replace equipment or data, the Society is not responsible for those costs.

The website and content are provided on an "as is" basis without any warranties of any kind. The Society, to the fullest extent permitted by law, disclaims all conditions and warranties, express or implied, including any warranty or terms of merchantability, non-infringement of third parties’ rights, quiet enjoyment and fitness for a particular purpose.

In no event shall the Society, its suppliers, or any third parties mentioned on the website be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, incidental, punitive, exemplary, special and consequential damages, lost profits, or damages resulting from lost data or business interruption) resulting from the use or inability to use the website and its content, whether based on statute, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal cause, and whether or not the society is advised of the possibility of such damages. You acknowledge and agree that the limitations set forth above are fundamental elements of this agreement, and the website would not be provided to you in the absence of such limitations.

The website and its subdomains contain links to third-party websites, when necessary or appropriate. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by the Society of the content on such third-party websites. The Society is not responsible for the content of linked third-party sites and does not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party websites.

If you decide to access linked third-party sites, you do so at your own risk and in accordance with the prevailing terms and conditions of such third-party sites.

The Society welcomes links to our website from other appropriate websites, provided they comply with our linking policy.

The Irish Cancer Society controls this website from its locations within Ireland. The Society makes no representation that the website content is appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to the content from territories where it is unlawful or is prohibited. Those who access this website from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for complying with applicable local laws.

Any disputes, claims or proceedings arising out of or in any way relating to the content or the website and its subdomains shall be governed by the laws of Ireland. The Irish Courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction for any proceedings arising out of or in any way relating to the content or the website and its subdomains. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Society may seek provisional or protective relief in the courts of another State before, during or after any substantive proceedings have been instituted in Ireland, and the Society may bring enforcement proceedings in another state on foot of an Irish judgement.

If any provision of these terms and conditions is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.

No waiver of any term shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.

The Society may at any time and without liability modify, suspend or discontinue the website or any content within it (or any part or specification thereof), with or without notice, for any valid technical, operational or commercial reasons.

These terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and the Society regarding the use of the website.
