Terms of Service Ireland
Clarity is the foundation of every great partnership.
These terms set out how Kearney's HR Solutions works with clients across HR consulting, talent acquisition, payroll processing, and employee relations. Straightforward. Practical. Built to keep expectations clear before any project begins.
Effective 01/03/2025
By using our services, you agree to the scope, payment, and responsibility terms outlined below. Why leave anything vague?
Agreement overview
Before we start, here’s the frame.
These Terms of Service govern the engagement between Kearney's HR Solutions and its clients. We keep the scope tight because that’s how projects stay useful. Templates are reviewed by Irish employment law solicitors, and if a matter needs legal advice, we’ll always say so plainly. Would you expect anything less?
Clear escalation path
We set a notice period and a route for issue escalation early, before small concerns turn into expensive distractions.
Mediation first
When disputes arise, we’ll try mediation before litigation. It’s faster, calmer, and usually better for everyone involved.
1. Services Description
What we do, and what we don’t.
Our services may include HR consulting, talent acquisition, payroll processing, and employee relations support, all delivered in line with the statement of work or proposal you’ve approved. The details matter here. If the scope changes, we document it.
We work to support decision-making, process design, and day-to-day HR delivery, but we don’t provide legal advice unless specifically agreed in writing. For employment law questions, we recommend independent legal counsel. That boundary protects you as much as it protects us.
Why this boundary?
Because a good HR partner should be precise. If a subject touches statutory interpretation, redundancy law, protected disclosures, or litigation strategy, legal review keeps everyone safer.
2. Client Obligations
The work moves faster when the inputs do.
- Provide accurate information, timely approvals, and access to the systems, records, and contacts needed for the assignment.
- Keep employee and candidate data lawful, secure, and properly authorised under GDPR and all applicable Irish regulations.
- Respond promptly when a decision is required. A delayed approval can stall onboarding, payroll changes, or employee relations actions.
- Tell us when a matter becomes urgent or sensitive. Why wait until a simple issue becomes a crisis?
3. Fees & Payment Terms
Commercial terms with nothing hidden.
Fees are set out in each proposal, schedule, or service order we issue. Unless agreed otherwise, invoices are due within 30 days of the invoice date. If payment is late, interest accrues at 1.5% per month, calculated on the overdue balance.
Need a different billing cadence for a project or retainer? Tell us before work starts. We’ll see what can be structured cleanly.
| Item | Standard term |
|---|---|
| Invoice due date | 30 days from issue |
| Late payment charge | 1.5% per month |
| Pricing basis | Per proposal or service order |
| Currency | Euro, unless stated otherwise |
4. Limitation of Liability & Governing Law
A fair limit, a clear forum.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability is capped at the fees paid for the specific services giving rise to the claim. These terms are governed by Irish law, and the courts of Dublin have jurisdiction. We prefer careful planning over conflict, but if there’s a disagreement, the rules should already be clear.
