Legal Disclaimer

Last Updated: April 17, 2026

Vendors.ie (the “Site”) is an independent, editorially-run software comparison and recommendation platform for Irish businesses, operated by Consistent Publishing Limited (CRO 742884). This page explains the legal limits of the information we publish. Please read it alongside our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.

No professional advice

Content on this Site - including vendor listings, category guides, comparisons, editorial verdicts, calculators, RFP templates, compliance assessments, migration guides, and AI tool outputs - is published for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not legal, financial, tax, accounting, IT, procurement, employment, or other professional advice. You should not act or refrain from acting based solely on anything you read here. Before making a significant software purchasing, migration, or procurement decision - especially one involving payroll, VAT, PAYE Modernisation, auto-enrolment, GDPR compliance, or Revenue reporting - consult a qualified accountant, IT advisor, solicitor, or other professional licensed in Ireland.

Accuracy, currency, and vendor data drift

The software market moves fast. Vendor pricing, plan tiers, feature lists, support levels, Irish-specific compliance claims (PAYE Modernisation, RTR, VAT rates, CSO reporting, auto-enrolment readiness), integration availability, and Irish support hours change frequently and without notice. We review vendor data periodically and stamp listings with a “Last verified” date where applicable. Even so, any price, feature claim, compliance statement, or recommendation on this Site may be out of date or incorrect by the time you read it. Always verify critical numbers and compliance claims against the vendor’s own website, sales team, or official documentation before signing a contract.

Pricing shown on this Site is typically quoted in EUR where the vendor publishes EUR prices, and converted from GBP or USD otherwise. Exchange rates, VAT treatment, and Irish-specific surcharges may change your final invoice.

AI-generated content

We use AI tools - including Claude - to help research, outline, summarise, and draft content on this Site. Editorial pages are reviewed and edited by a human (usually Bryan) before publication. AI can make mistakes, and even reviewed content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Treat anything the Site produces through an interactive tool (Software Finder, Find My Stack, Compliance Checker, True Cost Calculator, AI ROI Calculator, AI Savings Calculator, RFP Generator, Migration Assistant, AI Readiness Check, AEO Brand Audit, Tender Summariser, Smart Vendor Compare) as a starting point, not a final answer.

Calculators and tools

Calculators and AI-powered tools on this Site - including the True Cost Calculator, AI ROI Calculator, AI Savings Calculator, RFP Generator, Compliance Checker, and Migration Assistant - produce estimates only, using assumptions we document on each page. Outputs are not quotes, binding predictions, commitments from any vendor, or certified compliance assessments. Your actual costs, savings, ROI, migration timelines, and compliance posture will vary with your workload, headcount, sector, the pricing in effect at the time, applicable VAT, currency conversion, and the specific plan and add-ons you choose. Compliance Checker results are informational only and do not constitute a certified GDPR, Revenue, or ISO audit.

Third-party products and trademarks

We discuss, list, compare, and link to third-party products including but not limited to Xero, Sage (Sage 50, Sage HR), QuickBooks, BrightPay, Collsoft, Thesaurus Payroll, Surf Accounts, Big Red Cloud, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Freshworks, Odoo, NetSuite, Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, BigCommerce, BambooHR, Personio, HiBob, HRLocker, Bizimply, Employment Hero, Workvivo, Claude for Business (Anthropic), ChatGPT Enterprise (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Microsoft Copilot, Jasper, Notion AI, DocuSign, Adobe Sign, PandaDoc, Stripe, Revolut Business, Wise Business, N26 Business, AIB Business, Bank of Ireland Business, and other Irish and international SaaS vendors. All product names, logos, and brands are the property of their respective owners. Use of these names on this Site is for identification, review, and comparison purposes only and does not imply endorsement, affiliation, partnership, or sponsorship. Vendors.ie is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any vendor listed on the Site unless explicitly stated on the relevant page.

We link out to vendor websites, pricing pages, Revenue guidance, CRO filings, CSO statistics, and other resources we think are useful. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, privacy practices, or terms. Linking out does not imply endorsement of everything on the linked page.

Affiliate relationships

Vendors.ie does not currently operate paid affiliate or referral programmes with the vendors listed on the Site. Editorial rankings, verdicts, and comparisons are not influenced by commercial relationships. In the future, we may enter into affiliate, referral, or listing-fee arrangements with some vendors. If that happens, it will never increase the price you pay, it will not determine whether a tool gets a positive or negative review, and we will disclose it clearly - both site-wide and on any page where a paid link appears.

Separately, we offer paid vendor listing and profile-claim options (see Pricing and Claim a Profile). These do not buy a positive editorial verdict; they buy placement, enrichment, and the ability for vendors to respond to facts we’ve published about their product.

Use at your own risk

You are solely responsible for how you use the information, recommendations, templates, and AI tool outputs on this Site. Copy-pasting an RFP template, acting on a Compliance Checker result, following a migration plan, or picking a vendor based on our comparison can have real commercial, contractual, and regulatory consequences - including overpaying, locking into the wrong contract, breaching GDPR, misfiling VAT or PAYE, or disrupting live business systems. Review everything before you act on it. Pilot or sandbox where possible. Never paste customer data, payroll data, bank details, or other regulated personal data into third-party AI tools without first checking the provider’s data-handling policy and your own GDPR obligations.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vendors.ie, its operator, and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of this Site or its content - including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, service disruptions, incorrect vendor billing, failed migrations, compliance penalties, or reliance on any price, feature claim, compliance statement, comparison, or recommendation published here. The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. See our Terms and Conditions for the full contractual version of this limitation.

Jurisdiction

Vendors.ie is operated from Ireland by Consistent Publishing Limited (CRO 742884). The Site focuses on software for businesses operating in the Republic of Ireland; Northern Ireland and other jurisdictions may be subject to different tax, payroll, and compliance regimes, and content on this Site may not apply. You are responsible for complying with local law wherever you access the Site.

Reporting errors

If you spot something on this Site that is wrong, out of date, or misleading - including stale pricing, an incorrect Irish compliance claim, a broken comparison, a vendor detail the vendor themselves disputes, or a tool result that clearly doesn’t add up - please email bryan@becomeawritertoday.com and we will fix it. Vendors wishing to correct their own listing can also use Claim a Profile. Corrections are faster than complaints.

Changes to this disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes to the Site, the Irish software market, our tools, our commercial model, or applicable law. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the disclaimer was most recently changed. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the updated disclaimer.
