Terms and Conditions

The Terms and Conditions were last updated on October 16, 2025

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of this website and any dealings you have with GDK regarding our products or services. Additional contracts may apply to specific services, support agreements, or projects you undertake with us.
If any clause within a separate agreement conflicts with these Terms, that separate agreement will take precedence for the relevant matter.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions.
If you do not agree, you should discontinue using the site.
In some cases, we may request your explicit consent to these Terms (for example, when engaging our services online).

3. Electronic Communications

By interacting with us through our website, email, or other electronic means, you consent to receive communications from us electronically. You agree that such communications — including notices, agreements, and disclosures — meet any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

4. Intellectual Property

All materials, content, and resources available on this website — including text, graphics, code, and design elements — are owned or licensed by GDK and are protected by intellectual property laws.

4.1 Rights Reserved

Unless otherwise stated, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, sell, or transmit any content from this website without prior written permission from GDK.
Exceptions may apply where permitted under applicable law, such as fair quotation or commentary.

5. Newsletter Sharing

You may share our newsletter or blog updates electronically with others who may find them useful, provided that the content remains unaltered and all copyright notices are retained.

6. Third-Party Links and Content

Our website may include links to third-party websites for your convenience.
We are not responsible for the content, products, or services on those external sites, and inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.
Any personal information you share with those third parties is subject to their own privacy policies and terms — not ours.

7. Responsible Use

You agree to use our website and services only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms.
You must not:

  • Engage in any activity that could damage or interfere with the website’s performance or accessibility.

  • Upload or distribute malicious software, spam, or any harmful content.

  • Harvest data or conduct automated data collection from our website without permission.

Any misuse of our systems or data will result in termination of access and may lead to legal action.

8. Refunds and Cancellations

8.1 Right to Cancel

If you engage us for services, you may have the right to cancel within 14 days of entering into a service contract, without needing to provide a reason.
To exercise this right, please contact us in writing (by email or post) before the 14-day period ends.

8.2 Effects of Cancellation

Upon cancellation, we will refund any payments received — except where work has already begun at your request.
If we have started delivering services, you will be responsible for the proportion of work completed prior to withdrawal.

Certain products or services may be exempt from cancellation under law. We will inform you if this applies to your case.

8.3 Ongoing or Subscription-Based Services

Some of our services, such as data backup, cloud hosting, software licensing, or other subscription-based solutions, may carry recurring or annual fees.
If you agree to such a service, you are responsible for paying any outstanding or remaining fees for the agreed term, even if you later cancel or stop using the service before the end of that period.
This ensures that any third-party licensing or infrastructure costs incurred on your behalf can be settled in full.

9. Payment Terms

9.1 Invoicing and Due Dates

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all invoices issued by GDK are payable within 30 days from the invoice date.
Payments must be made in full, in the currency stated on the invoice, and through one of the accepted payment methods listed on the invoice or agreed contract.

9.2 Late Payments

If payment is not received within the stated period, GDK reserves the right to:

  • Suspend or limit access to any ongoing services until payment is received in full; and

  • Apply interest or administrative fees on overdue amounts in accordance with applicable law (for example, under the European Communities (Late Payment in Commercial Transactions) Regulations 2012).

9.3 Ongoing or Subscription Services

For recurring or annual services (including but not limited to cloud backups, software licensing, and maintenance contracts), invoices will be issued according to the agreed billing cycle.
Renewals are processed automatically unless cancelled in writing before the renewal date. You remain responsible for all fees due for the full term of the service once agreed.

9.4 Disputed Invoices

If you believe an invoice is incorrect, you must notify us in writing within 7 days of receipt, providing reasonable details of the dispute.
This will not relieve you of the obligation to pay any undisputed portion of the invoice within the standard payment period.

10. Submitting Ideas or Content

Please do not send us any confidential ideas, inventions, or creative content unless we have first agreed to review them under a signed NDA.
If you do share such content without a prior written agreement, you grant GDK a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use and reproduce that material for any purpose.

11. Suspension or Termination

We may modify, restrict, or suspend access to our website or any related services at any time, without prior notice.
We will not be liable for any loss or inconvenience arising from such actions.
Users must not attempt to bypass security measures or restricted areas on this site.

12. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

Our website and all related materials are provided “as is” and “as available.”
While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee that the site or its content will always be available, error-free, or up to date.

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • We disclaim all warranties (express or implied) regarding the website’s operation, reliability, or accuracy.

  • We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (including data loss, loss of profits, or service interruption) resulting from your use of our website or services.

Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the total amount you paid to GDK for the relevant product or service.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability where such limitation would be unlawful (for example, for death, personal injury, or fraud).

13. Privacy

Your use of our website and services is also governed by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which explain how we collect and handle your data.
By using our site, you agree that all information you provide is accurate and current.

14. Legal Compliance

Accessing this website from outside jurisdictions where its content or services are unlawful is prohibited.
You agree to comply with all applicable laws, including export control and data protection regulations, when using our website or services.

15. Assignment

You may not transfer, assign, or subcontract your rights or obligations under these Terms without written consent from GDK.
Any unauthorized transfer shall be void.

16. Breach of Terms

If you violate these Terms, we may take appropriate action — including suspending your access, blocking your IP address, or initiating legal proceedings.
These remedies are in addition to any others available under law.

17. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures to perform caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control — including natural disasters, power outages, network failures, or government actions.

18. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold GDK harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses resulting from your misuse of our website, breach of these Terms, or violation of any applicable laws or rights of third parties.

19. Waiver

Failure by GDK to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of our rights to enforce it later.

20. Language

These Terms and Conditions are written and will be interpreted solely in English.

21. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy and Cookie Policies, represent the complete understanding between you and GDK concerning your use of this website and our services.

22. Updates to These Terms

We may amend or update these Terms periodically.
Changes take effect once posted on this page, and your continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

23. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland.
Any disputes will be handled exclusively by the courts of Ireland.
If any clause is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
