In particular, your account with us may be terminated with immediate effect if we suspect you have engaged in any fraudulent, illegal or misleading activity on our Website.

If you fail to stop the act or acts complained of we reserve the right to take any and all appropriate action against you.

15. Payment for advertisements

Publication of an advertisement is subject to payment of a fee to Daft.ie (the “Fee”). The terms of the Fee are set out on the Website and displayed to you in the course of you offering to place an advertisement with us. The Fee for all Daft Services is quoted in euro and is payable in euro. All prices are stated inclusive of valued added tax (VAT) at the relevant rate.

You may save your credit and debit card details for future payments on the Website.

If you pay a Fee for the publication of an advertisement on Daft.ie, Daft.ie is required by law to provide your full name to any recipient of the advertisement. Daft.ie may provide this information on receipt of a request from individuals who view the advertisement.

16. Cancellation policy

Once your advertisement is posted on the Website your request for our services cannot be cancelled at that stage. Prior to the advertisement appear on the Website you may cancel the advertisement by contacting us.

17. Published advertisements and duration of advertisements

Once you have completed the process of submitting your advertisement we will send you an email confirming receipt of your order for the Daft Service, this email does not constitute an acceptance of your order. Your order for posting an advertisement on the Website will not be accepted and an agreement concluded between us and you in relation to the publication of the advertisement on the Website until the payment for the Daft Service has been received by us.

Advertisements will be displayed for the period stated on the relevant ad entry page for each ad type. If you wish to extend this period you will be required to resubmit your request for the Daft Service and to make a further payment for those services.

Content which comprises advertising material will appear on the Website. Individual advertisers are solely responsible for the content of the material which they submit to us including ensuring that it complies with relevant legislation. We accept no responsibility for the content of any business and/or advertising material, including, without limitation, any error, omission or inaccuracy.

Please note that the content of the published advertisements is provided by external users, and do not represent any views or opinions of Daft.ie, nor should they purport to do so.

Accordingly, we require that every care is taken by you or on your behalf in drafting the content of your advertisements in order to ensure that they are not in any way defamatory, illegal or in any other way harmful to a third party as you are solely responsible as author and publisher of your advertisement.

The ranking of advertisements in search results on our Website depends on a variety of factors. In particular, certain search results may rank products according to the following parameters:

whether a premium has been paid for an advertisement;
whether the user has manually applied filtering to a search, or used the "sort" functionality; and
in certain circumstances, based on a user’s previous search activity on the Website.

A user can influence the parameters applied by altering the search such as filtering results by location, price range and technical specifications.

18. Advertising terms and conditions

When creating an advertisement on the Website you must provide accurate, current and complete information and to promptly update the information that you provide to us when it changes.

Advertisements containing illegal, defamatory, obscene, indecent or otherwise offending material are not allowed on the Website. Duplicate advertisements are also prohibited.

We do not control the content of advertisements posted by users on the Website, and we do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of the content. You understand that by using the Website, you may be exposed to content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable without liability.

Using multiple addresses means that advertisements appear in the wrong category and search lists, making them inaccurate and therefore we do not allow the use of these in any form on the Website.

Daft.ie is a family website so we reserve the right to review and reject any advertisements that we feel have an adult theme. In particular, no graphic images may be used in advertisements, any inappropriate content will be removed.

Discrimination in advertising is not permitted and all advertising must comply with all applicable laws as regards property listings and/or accommodation advertising (including, but not limited to, the requirement to include a BER rating in the property advertisement where applicable). As of January 1, 2016, the Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2015 introduced “housing assistance” as a new ground of discrimination in relation to accommodation. This means that people in receipt of housing assistance, rent supplement or other social welfare payments can no longer be discriminated against in relation to the provision of accommodation. Under this legislation, a landlord cannot discriminate against a person in receipt of rent supplement, housing assistance or any payment under the Social Welfare Acts. Property descriptions should not contain exclusionary language such as ‘rent supplement not accepted’, ‘professionals only’ or ‘rent allowance not allowed’. These examples of discriminatory language are not exhaustive.

Advertisements which are posted and are found to be in breach of our policies will be removed without prior notification and no refund will be given. Users who are found to be in violation of our policies on more than one occasion may have their account removed and their information passed to the policing authority.

19. Commercial Terms

Please note that the Website is aimed at consumers in Ireland (including Northern Ireland), but we cannot prevent you being contacted from other consumers or other third parties nor can we prevent your advertisement being displayed in other jurisdictions.

20. Fair usage policy

To ensure the best browsing experience for our users, your potential buyers/renters, we ask that you only create one advertisement per property.

We only allow one property per advertisement. This ensures that your property will appear in the correct search and helps them sell/rent quicker. Your advertisement may be removed if:

you have more than one property in the listing;
you have multiple listings for one property across several sections; and/or
you have multiple listings for one property across several counties.

This will make it easier for a potential buyer/tenant to find your property. It will also make it easier for the advertisement to be removed when the property is no longer available. If this policy is not complied with, we reserve the right to remove the offending advertisement(s) from the Website without notice to you and without refund.

21. Reporting breaches

Please use the ‘Report this Ad’ mechanism which we have placed on the Website to report any advertisement that is in breach of the User Agreement, illegal or in any other way objectionable.

You are solely responsible for the Content appearing in any of your advertisements and for the property sold or let following advertisement. We are not responsible for the properties appearing on the Website that you advertise or purchase or rent, nor are we responsible for the Content appearing in any of the advertisements. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim any and all liability in respect of any claim arising from any reliance placed on the Content of any advertisement by any user of the Website or any claims arising in respect of any goods to which the Content relates.

24. Consequences for failure to comply with the Agreement

Failure by you to comply with the User Agreement may result in our taking all or any of the following actions:
