14. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.

15. Riders and Delivery Partners

Please Note: EireBites is a technology platform. We connect customers with restaurants and facilitate deliveries through our app. We do not employ riders and we bear no responsibility for anything that happens in the course of a rider's activity on or off the platform.

15.1 Self-Employed Status

Anyone who carries out deliveries through EireBites does so as a self-employed individual running their own business. There is no employment relationship between EireBites and any rider. EireBites does not direct how riders do their work, does not set their hours, and has no obligation to provide them with work. Riders choose freely when to log on and when to accept or decline orders.

15.2 Insurance

Every rider is fully responsible for making sure they have whatever insurance the law requires them to have in order to carry out delivery work. EireBites carries no insurance on behalf of riders and provides no cover of any kind — not for the rider, not for their vehicle, not for the public, and not for any goods being transported. If a rider does not have adequate insurance and something goes wrong, that is entirely the rider's problem. EireBites will not contribute to any costs, claims, or settlements that arise.

15.3 Accidents and Damage to Others

If a rider causes an accident, injures someone, or damages someone else's property while carrying out a delivery, that rider is personally responsible. EireBites is not party to whatever happens on the road. Any costs, legal proceedings, or compensation due to a third party are the rider's responsibility alone. EireBites will not be drawn into such matters and accepts no liability in connection with them.

15.4 Food in Transit

Once a rider collects an order from a restaurant, the responsibility for getting that food to the customer in good condition passes to the rider. If food arrives damaged, cold, spilled, or in an unacceptable state because of how the rider handled it, the rider is responsible for that outcome. EireBites does not supervise how riders carry food and will not cover any costs arising from poor handling during transit.

15.5 Vehicle, Licence and Equipment

Riders must ensure their vehicle is legally roadworthy, properly taxed, and that they hold whatever licence is needed to drive or ride it under Irish law. The cost of running, maintaining, and insuring a vehicle is the rider's own. EireBites does not supply vehicles, fuel, bags, phones, or any other equipment. Riders provide everything they need themselves.

15.6 Tax

Earnings paid to riders through EireBites are paid gross. EireBites does not make any tax deductions on a rider's behalf. Riders are responsible for registering with Revenue as self-employed where required, reporting their income, and paying whatever tax, PRSI, or USC they owe. EireBites has no involvement in and no liability for a rider's tax affairs.

15.7 Rider's Responsibility to EireBites

If EireBites faces any claim, cost, loss, or legal action as a result of something a rider did or failed to do, the rider is responsible for making EireBites whole. This includes any costs EireBites incurs defending itself. By using the platform, riders accept this responsibility.

15.8 Removal from the Platform

EireBites may remove a rider from the platform at any time. This includes situations where a rider has received complaints from customers or restaurants, has behaved in a way that puts others at risk, has been dishonest, or has broken any part of these Terms. EireBites is not obliged to give advance notice and will not be liable to a rider for removing their access.

15.9 No Guaranteed Work

EireBites does not promise riders any particular number of orders, any minimum income, or continued availability of the platform. Riders use EireBites on the understanding that delivery opportunities depend on customer demand and restaurant activity, neither of which EireBites controls or guarantees.
