Terms of Service

01

What BuyerIQ is

BuyerIQ provides property analytics for the Irish residential market: comparable sales, an estimated market value, a suggested offer range, and neighbourhood and risk intelligence for a given address. It is available in a free tier and in the paid tiers set out below.

Using the service means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it.

02

What BuyerIQ is not

A model built on public records will not reflect current market conditions in every case, will not know about property-specific factors that were never recorded, and will not have seen changes that have not yet reached the public datasets. A recent extension, a structural problem, or a sale that has not yet been filed with the Property Price Register will each move a number we cannot move.

Before committing to a purchase, take independent professional advice: a chartered surveyor or registered valuer, a mortgage adviser, and a solicitor. BuyerIQ does not accept liability for decisions made on the basis of what the service tells you.

03

Accuracy of the data

Property data comes from public records: the Property Price Register, the SEAI building energy rating database, Central Statistics Office statistics, Office of Public Works flood mapping, and other government sources. We take reasonable steps to keep it accurate, and we do not guarantee that it is complete, current or free of error.

Sale prices are shown as reported to the Property Price Register, which does not always capture the full value of a transaction. Where you believe something is wrong, tell us through the contact form and we will investigate; errors originating in the public record have to be corrected at source with the body that published them.

04

Area, trends, supply and demand

The estimate is our opinion. The BuyerIQ Estimate is produced by our own in-house statistical model from public records and the comparable sales we show you. It is our view of what the evidence supports. It is not a professional valuation, a survey, or a mortgage, probate or Revenue valuation, and it is not prepared by a chartered surveyor or registered valuer. A lender, a court or the Revenue will require one of those.

Area figures describe an area, not your property. Affluence, education, liveability and deprivation measures are population statistics for the surrounding Small Area or town. They say nothing definite about any individual address — two houses on the same street can differ completely from each other and from the area around them.

Trends are history, not forecast. Where we show a direction of travel, it is modelled from past public data. Past movement is not a guide to future prices, and property markets can fall as well as rise.

Planning and supply are a snapshot of what has been lodged. An application is not a permission, a permission is not a build, and permissions lapse. Coverage and detail vary between local authorities, and an absence of records near a property is not evidence that nothing is planned.

Demand and competition are inferred, not observed. Bidding in Ireland is private. Any read we give on competition, overbidding or market timing is an estimate drawn from listing behaviour and completed sales — and the Property Price Register records sales months after the bidding that set them, so these figures lag the market you are bidding in today.

05

Your account

An account needs a valid email address and nothing more. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure. One account per person; automated or bot registration is not permitted.

06

What you are buying

Single Report and Buyer's Pass are one-off payments, not subscriptions. There is nothing to cancel and nothing renews. When the three months are up, access simply ends and you return to the free tier, which does not include report access.

Pro Annual is a recurring subscription and renews automatically each year. You can cancel at any time from your account settings or through the Stripe billing portal, and you keep Pro access until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never receive or store your card details.

07

Refunds and cancellation

Reports and paid access are digital content supplied to you immediately on payment. By purchasing, you expressly request that immediate access and acknowledge that you therefore lose the statutory 14-day cooling-off right that would otherwise apply to a distance purchase, once access has begun. For that reason we do not offer change-of-mind refunds for content you have already opened.

08

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use automated tools to scrape, bulk-download or systematically extract data from the service.
• Redistribute, resell or republish BuyerIQ data or reports without our permission.
• Circumvent rate limits, authentication or access controls.
• Use the service for any unlawful purpose.

These exist because the analysis is expensive to produce and is sold to the buyers it was built for. They are not aimed at ordinary use: reading reports, saving them, and sharing one with your solicitor, your broker or your family is exactly what the service is for.

09

Intellectual property

The service, its design, its algorithms and its original content belong to BuyerIQ. Property data drawn from public registers remains in the public domain and we claim nothing over it. Using the service grants you no intellectual property rights beyond personal, non-commercial use of the results.

10

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BuyerIQ is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for any loss of profit or revenue, whether incurred directly or indirectly, nor for any loss of data, use, goodwill or other intangible loss, arising from:

• Your use of, or inability to use, the service.
• Any property purchase or financial decision made using information from the service.
• Inaccuracies or omissions in the data displayed.
• Unauthorised access to your account.

Nothing here excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

11

Privacy

Your use of the service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which sets out what we collect, the lawful basis for each use, and every company that receives it. Your rights over that data are described on the GDPR page.

12

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes are communicated by email or by a notice on the service at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after that constitutes acceptance.

13

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer law in your country of residence.
