Website and service terms
Terms for using Usher & Upton
These terms explain how you may use this website and what applies when you ask Usher & Upton to provide HR or recruitment services.
About this agreement
By using this website, you accept these terms. A separate written agreement may apply to a specific assignment, and that agreement will take priority where its wording differs from these website terms.
Usher & Upton is based at JFK Pontoon, Cobh, Cork, Ireland. The website provides general information about our talent acquisition, HR consulting, payroll management, employee relations, performance management, and training services.
These terms apply to visitors, prospective clients, candidates, and anyone who contacts us through the website. They do not create an employment relationship, agency appointment, or guarantee that a particular candidate, role, or service will be available.
Using our website and services
1. Website content
We aim to keep the information on this website clear and current. It is general guidance, so you should request advice for the facts of your own organisation before acting on it.
2. Lawful use
Use the website only for legitimate business or personal purposes. You must not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access, introduce harmful code, or use information from it to mislead another person.
3. Recruitment assignments
Candidate information is shared for a stated recruitment purpose and must be handled confidentially. A client remains responsible for its hiring decision, employment contract, workplace checks, and compliance with applicable employment law.
4. HR and payroll work
Our work is based on the information and instructions supplied by the client. The client must provide accurate records, approve outputs promptly, and tell us about changes that could affect payroll, employee relations, or performance processes.
5. Fees and instructions
Fees, payment dates, service boundaries, and notice periods will be set out in the relevant proposal or service agreement. We may pause work where required information is missing or an invoice remains overdue.
6. Confidential information
Information received during an enquiry or assignment will be treated with appropriate care. Each party must protect confidential information and disclose it only where needed to provide the agreed service or where the law requires disclosure.
7. Intellectual property
Unless an agreement says otherwise, the website, its written content, design, and materials belong to Usher & Upton or its licensors. You may read and refer to them for your own use, but you must not reproduce or commercially distribute them without written permission.
8. Liability
We are not responsible for loss caused by inaccurate information supplied by a user, an interruption outside our reasonable control, or a decision made solely from general website content. Nothing in these terms limits a liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
9. Changes and availability
We may update the website or these terms when our services, legal duties, or working practices change. The latest version published on this page applies to future use of the website.
10. Irish law
These terms are governed by the law of Ireland. The Irish courts will have jurisdiction over disputes connected with them, subject to any mandatory rights you may have under applicable law.
