Provider Listings – Responsibilities & Disclaimers

Last updated: October 2025

1. Provider Responsibility

Each listing on Join In is created and managed by the provider named in the listing (“Provider”).

By submitting a listing, the Provider confirms that:

  • All information supplied is accurate, complete, and lawful.
  • The Provider holds all required permissions, licences, insurance, and (where relevant) safeguarding, accessibility, food safety, or health certifications to operate the listed activity, venue, or service.
  • All photos, text, and media submitted are original or used with proper rights and permissions.
  • The activity or service complies with all applicable Irish health, safety, accessibility, equality, and consumer protection laws.
  • The Provider is solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and safety of their listing and for any participant experiences.

Providers must promptly update their listings if information changes (such as opening hours, prices, contact details, or accessibility features).


2. Platform Role and Limitation of Liability

Join In is an independent, inclusive directory that connects users with providers of community activities, services, and venues across Ireland.

Join In:

  • Publishes listings for informational purposes only
  • Does not independently verify each listing’s accuracy, safety, insurance, or legal compliance
  • Does not operate, manage, or supervise any listed activity, event, or location

Inclusion of a listing does not imply endorsement, guarantee, or certification by Join In.
We make no warranties, either express or implied, regarding the reliability, completeness, safety, legality, or suitability of any listing information.

Join In is not a party to any contract between users and providers and accepts no liability for any loss, injury, illness, damage, or claim arising from participation in or reliance on any listed activity, event, or service.

If we become aware of false, misleading, or illegal information, we reserve the right to edit, suspend, or remove the listing at our discretion.


3. Indemnity

By submitting a listing, the Provider agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Join In, its owners, team members, and affiliates from any claims, losses, damages, or legal costs arising from:

  • Any inaccurate, unlawful, or misleading content submitted to the platform
  • Any act or omission of the Provider, or any activity, service, or venue offered through the listing.

This indemnity continues even after a listing is removed or the Provider ceases to use the platform.


4. Editorial Rights

Join In may review, edit, or remove content that appears inaccurate, misleading, or in breach of these Terms.

When Join In edits a listing for clarity, tone, grammar, or formatting:

  • The Provider remains fully responsible for the factual accuracy, legality, and safety compliance of that listing.
  • Editorial adjustments do not constitute a verification, inspection, or safety review.

We reserve the right to decline or remove listings that do not meet our inclusion standards or community guidelines.


5. User Notice

Where a listing is marked “Provided by [Provider Name]”, content has been supplied by that Provider and not independently verified by Join In.

Users should:

  • Confirm details (such as opening hours, accessibility, costs, or safety requirements) directly with the Provider before participating or attending
  • Use their own judgement and take reasonable care when engaging in any listed activity or visiting any listed venue

Participation is always at your own risk. By proceeding, you acknowledge and accept this risk.
