WEBSITE TERMS OF USE
vegvisir.ie
Version 1.5 — 25 September 2026
1. Scope
1.1. These Terms of Use govern your use of the website at vegvisir.ie (the "Site"), operated by Vegvisir Systems Limited, registered in Ireland, company no. 739905, registered office 23 Newtown Manor, Castletroy, Limerick, V94 6N70, Ireland ("Vegvisir", "we", "us"). "You" means the person using the Site; if you use the Site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind it, and "you" means that organisation.
1.2. These Terms govern the Site only. They do not govern the Software, which is licensed separately under the EULA and, where applicable, a signed agreement with Vegvisir (the "Licence Agreement"). If these Terms, or anything on the Site, conflict with the Licence Agreement in respect of the Software or the Documentation, the Licence Agreement controls. Where you obtain the Documentation through the Site, Sections 2 to 4 of these Terms also apply to it, in addition to the Licence Agreement.
1.3. By using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Site. Where we ask you to accept these Terms before downloading material from the Site, your acceptance at that point confirms your agreement.
1.4. Who the Site is for. The Site is directed primarily to persons acting in the course of a trade, business or profession, and also to institutions and individuals acting for the purposes of research, academic study, teaching or non-commercial study or training. By using the Site you confirm that you do so for one of those purposes. Nothing in these Terms affects any rights you may have that cannot be excluded or restricted under consumer protection law.
1.5. In these Terms, "EULA" means the Traffic Dictator End User Licence Agreement published at https://vegvisir.ie/legal/eula, as updated from time to time, and "Software", "Documentation" and "Order" have the meanings given to them in the EULA.
2. Content, icons and Documentation — ownership
2.1. The Site and everything on it — including text, the Documentation, white papers, release notes, icons, graphics, illustrations, diagrams, the software code of the Site, the selection and arrangement of its content, and the Vegvisir and Traffic Dictator logos (together, "Content") — is protected by copyright, database rights, design rights, trade mark rights and other intellectual property rights, whether registered or unregistered. Content is owned by Vegvisir or its licensors, except third-party trade marks and other third-party material (see Section 5.2), which belong to their respective owners.
2.2. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property right in the Content to you, or grants you any licence or other right in respect of it, except the limited permissions expressly set out in Section 3. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Subject to Section 1.2, use of the Software is governed by the Licence Agreement, not by these Terms.
3. What you may do with our Content
3.1. Documentation. You may view, download, print and keep copies of the Documentation, white papers and release notes (together, "Technical Materials") for your own internal business purposes or, if you are an institution or individual referred to in Section 1.4, for your own research, academic study, teaching or non-commercial study or training (and, for teaching, only to students and staff of your institution) — including as reference material for your team, incorporation into your own internal runbooks or procedures, and training your staff on the Software. This includes taking a single complete copy of the Documentation for offline internal reference, for example in an operations centre without internet access. You may make Technical Materials available to a contractor permitted under Section 5(a) of the EULA or the equivalent provision of your Licence Agreement, solely for the purpose permitted there; you are responsible for that contractor's compliance with these Terms. Using Technical Materials to provide network operation, management, integration or engineering services to third parties is not internal use. You may not otherwise reproduce, republish, redistribute, or make Technical Materials available to any third party.
3.2. Icons, graphics and logos. You may use our icons, graphics or logos only: (a) unmodified (other than proportional resizing) as they appear on the Site, to link to or accurately refer to the Site or the Software in internal materials (for example, in an internal presentation about a product you use) or in editorial, academic or news content; or (b) with our prior written consent, which we may give subject to conditions and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, withdraw at any time. Except with our prior written consent, you may not use our icons, graphics or logos in advertising or marketing your own products or services, or modify, distort or recolour them, combine them with other marks, or use them in a way that suggests our endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation where none exists.
3.3. Compatibility references. Nothing in these Terms prevents you from stating accurately, in plain text, that your product or service interoperates with Traffic Dictator (for example, "compatible with Traffic Dictator" or "works with Traffic Dictator"), provided that you: (a) do not use our logo, icons or any confusingly similar device; (b) do not state or imply that Vegvisir has certified, tested, approved or endorsed your product or service, or that you are a partner, reseller or authorised service provider of Vegvisir, unless we have agreed so in writing; and (c) do not use "Traffic Dictator" or any confusingly similar name as part of the name of a product, service, company or domain. Use of our logo or icons in connection with a compatibility or interoperability claim about your own product or service requires our prior written consent. This Section concerns references only and does not permit any use of the Software, which is governed by the Licence Agreement.
3.4. In every case, you must keep any copyright, trade mark or attribution notice on material you retain, must not remove or alter any such notice, and must not present Content, or anything derived from it, as your own work.
3.5. Search and AI. We do not object to search engines and artificial intelligence systems crawling the Site and using the Technical Materials to answer questions about the Software, including for indexing, retrieval and model training. This does not permit republishing the Content, presenting it as your own work, or removing any notice on it (Sections 3.4 and 4).
4. What you may not do
You must not, and must not permit or assist anyone else to, whether directly or through automated tools, scripts or agents:
reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, sublicense, frame, embed, or create derivative works from any Content except as permitted in Section 3;
scrape, crawl, mirror or systematically extract or re-utilise Content — including the Technical Materials — except as permitted in Section 3, or for indexing, retrieval or the training of machine learning models, provided that the Content is not republished, presented as your own, or offered as a substitute for the Site or the Documentation;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its infrastructure, or any account, circumvent any security or access-control measure, or probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Site or its infrastructure (this does not prevent you from reporting a vulnerability you have come across to the contact published in our security.txt);
introduce malware, or use the Site to attack, disrupt or overload our systems or any third party's;
use the Site, or any Content, for any unlawful purpose, or to infringe the rights of any person; or
use the Technical Materials to design or develop a product or service that competes with the Software.
4.1. Effect of breach. The permissions in Section 3 are personal to you, revocable at any time, and terminate automatically and without notice if you breach these Terms. When a permission ends, you must promptly stop the use concerned, delete or destroy all copies of the Content held under it — including offline copies, extracts in runbooks or procedures, and any index, embedding or other data set derived from it — and, if we ask, confirm in writing that you have done so. Any further use of the Content after that termination is unlicensed. We may also block, suspend or rate-limit access to the Site without notice, and nothing in these Terms limits our right to seek injunctive relief or to pursue any other remedy, whether for breach of these Terms or for infringement of our intellectual property rights.
4.2. Mandatory exceptions. Nothing in these Terms restricts any act permitted by an exception to copyright or database right that cannot be excluded or restricted by contract, including text and data mining for the purposes of scientific research under Article 3 of Directive (EU) 2019/790, subject to the conditions of that exception.
5. Trademarks
5.1. Traffic Dictator™ and the Vegvisir icon are trademarks of Vegvisir Systems Limited, whether or not marked with ™ on a given page. "Vegvisir Systems Limited" is our registered company name. Our other names, logos and icons appearing on the Site are used by us as identifiers of our business and products, and we reserve all rights in them and in the goodwill associated with them. No licence to use any of them is granted except as expressly set out in Section 3.
5.2. Names and trademarks of other companies that may appear on the Site (for example, of platforms, software or hardware with which Traffic Dictator interoperates) belong to their respective owners. We use them only to identify those products and to describe compatibility or interoperability, and their use does not imply any affiliation with, or sponsorship or endorsement by, their owners.
6. Export control and sanctions
6.1. The Site, the Technical Materials and any software made available through the Site are subject to the export-control and sanctions laws of the European Union, Ireland and, where applicable, the United States, and may also be subject to the law of the country you are in.
6.2. By using the Site you confirm that you are not, and are not acting for or on behalf of, or owned or controlled by: (a) any person on an applicable sanctions list; (b) the Government of the Russian Federation or the Government of the Republic of Belarus, any natural person resident in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus, or any legal person, entity or body established in, or owned or controlled by a person established in, the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus; or (c) any person located or established in a territory subject to territorial restrictive measures under the laws of the European Union or Ireland, as those measures stand from time to time.
6.3. You must not download, access, use, transfer or re-export anything obtained through the Site in breach of the laws referred to in Section 6.1. Use of the Software is separately subject to Section 14 of the EULA, which applies to the Software in any form and however obtained, including as to the countries in which, as its own commercial decision, Vegvisir does not supply the Software (Section 14.3 of the EULA).
6.4. If we ask, you will provide the information we reasonably require to confirm your compliance with this Section 6, including your location and who owns or controls you. We may refuse or suspend access to the Site, downloads, or responses to enquiries made through the Site where we consider that continuing could breach any law applicable to us or Section 14 of the EULA, or where you have not provided information we have asked for.
7. Reporting misuse
7.1. If you believe your intellectual property, or anyone else's, has been used on the Site without authorisation, or that our Content is being used elsewhere without our authorisation, you may tell us at info@vegvisir.ie. Please include: the material concerned and its exact location (such as the URL); the basis for your concern and, where the rights belong to someone else, whether you act on their behalf; your name and contact details; and a statement that the information in your report is accurate to the best of your knowledge and given in good faith.
7.2. We may, but are not obliged to, respond to, investigate or act on a report, and any action we take — including removing or amending material — is at our discretion. Receiving or acting on a report is not an admission of any fact or liability. We may ask you for further information, and may share your report, including your name and contact details, with the person whose use of the material is concerned, with our professional advisers and, where required by law, with competent authorities.
7.3. Security vulnerabilities in the Site or the Software should be reported to security@vegvisir.ie, as published in our security.txt, and not under this Section.
8. Ideas and suggestions
8.1. We welcome feedback, but you must not send us confidential information, or anything you consider proprietary, through the Site, including by any contact form or email address published on it. If you send us any idea, suggestion, feature request or other feedback in that way ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sub-licensable licence, under any intellectual property rights you have in it, to use, copy, modify, disclose, incorporate into our products and services, and otherwise exploit that Feedback for any purpose, without restriction, attribution, payment or other obligation to you. You waive, to the extent permitted by law, any moral rights in the Feedback, you will not assert any intellectual property right in it against us or our licensees, and you confirm that you are entitled to grant that licence.
8.2. Feedback is non-confidential, and no obligation of confidence or other duty arises from your sending it. We may already be developing, or may later independently develop, ideas that are similar to your Feedback, and nothing in these Terms restricts us from doing so.
8.3. This Section does not apply to: (a) material sent under a signed non-disclosure agreement, to the extent that agreement covers it; (b) support materials, configurations, logs, diagnostic bundles and other non-public information about your network sent under the Licence Agreement, which remain governed by the Licence Agreement (including, where it applies, Schedule 1 to the EULA) — although any idea, suggestion or feature request included with them is Feedback (except that any confidential information of yours that it contains remains protected under the Licence Agreement); or (c) reports of security vulnerabilities, which we do not treat as non-confidential under Section 8.2. We may use a vulnerability report to investigate and remedy the vulnerability, and may disclose it to the extent needed for that purpose, to the maintainers of any affected component, to competent authorities where required by law, and in a security advisory once a fix or mitigation is available. See our security.txt and Section 7.3.
9. No warranty for Site content
9.1. Content on the Site — including technical descriptions, the Technical Materials and product pages — is provided for general information. We may update, correct or remove it without notice, and we are not obliged to keep it up to date. Where other content on the Site differs from the Documentation, the Documentation controls; and where the Documentation published on the Site differs from the Documentation for the version of the Software you are running (whether delivered with that version or published for it), the latter controls. Site content does not form part of any contract for the Software except to the extent expressly stated in the Licence Agreement or an Order. The Licence Agreement and the applicable Order govern the Software and set out the remedies available in respect of it, including in respect of any statement made about it.
9.2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Site and its content are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, and we do not warrant that the Site, or any file made available on it, will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or free from viruses or other harmful components; you are responsible for your own protection against them. We do not assume responsibility to any person for the accuracy or completeness of any content on the Site, and no relationship of reliance arises from your use of it. Any figures, performance characteristics, capacities or timings described on the Site are indicative, depend on your own network, hardware, configuration and the version of the Software you use, and are not warranted. Statements about future features, releases or plans are not commitments, and any pricing shown on the Site is not an offer. You should satisfy yourself as to the correctness and applicability of any information before relying on it. Nothing in this Section limits liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
10. Third-party links
10.1. The Site may link to websites operated by third parties (for example, documentation of platforms Traffic Dictator interoperates with, open-source licence texts, or Docker Hub). Links are provided for convenience only. A link does not mean that we endorse, or have any relationship with, the linked site or its operator. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, security or practices of any linked site, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of it. Your use of a linked site is governed by its own terms and privacy policy, and following a link is at your own risk.
10.2. You may link to pages of the Site, provided that you do so fairly and lawfully, in a way that does not suggest any affiliation with or endorsement by us where none exists, and without framing or embedding the Site (Section 4(a)). We may withdraw this permission at any time.
11. Liability
11.1. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
11.2. Subject to Section 11.1, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from or in connection with the Site, your use of, or inability to use, it, any content on it or your reliance on that content, any file obtained from it, or any linked site — including any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, goodwill or anticipated savings, and any indirect or consequential loss — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, misrepresentation or otherwise.
11.3. If, despite Section 11.2, we are found liable to you, our total liability arising from or in connection with the Site and these Terms is limited to €100.
11.4. Liability in connection with the Software, including any statement made about it on the Site, is governed by the Licence Agreement where one applies between you and us.
11.5. Subject to Section 11.1, you agree with us that you will not bring any claim in connection with the Site or its content personally against any of our directors, shareholders, employees or contractors.
11.6. Sections 9, 10 and 11 operate both as terms of these Terms of Use and, independently, as a notice to any person accessing the Site that neither we nor our directors, shareholders, employees or contractors accept responsibility for reliance on its content.
11.7. You are liable to us for any loss, damage, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) we incur as a result of your breach of Sections 3, 4 or 6.
12. Changes
12.1. We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version and its date are published at https://vegvisir.ie/terms, and you should check it regularly. Revised Terms apply to your use of the Site, and to your continued use or retention of any Content, from the date shown on them. Continued use of the Site after that date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We keep a record of prior versions and will, on request, provide the version that applied at a given date.
12.2. Subject to Section 11.1, we may change, suspend or withdraw all or any part of the Site or its content, including any Technical Materials or downloads, at any time and without notice or liability.
13. General
13.1. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it applies with the minimum modification necessary to make it enforceable, and the remainder continues in force.
13.2. These Terms, together with any written consent or other written agreement we give or enter into under them, are the entire agreement between you and Vegvisir regarding your use of the Site. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data and is a notice rather than a term of this agreement; the Licence Agreement governs the Software separately (see Section 1.2).
13.3. No failure or delay by us in enforcing any provision of these Terms, and no knowledge or tolerance by us of any use of the Site or its Content, is a waiver of our rights, an implied licence, or acquiescence in that use.
13.4. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to any person. Your rights under these Terms are personal to you and may not be transferred. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, agency or joint venture between you and us.
13.5. Sections 2, 4, 6, 7.2, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 continue to apply after you stop using the Site or any permission under Section 3 ends.
13.6. In these Terms, "including" and similar words do not limit the generality of the words that precede them, and headings do not affect interpretation. If these Terms are translated, the English version prevails.
13.7. Governing law and jurisdiction. These Terms, and any non-contractual obligations arising from or in connection with them, the Site or its content, are governed by the laws of Ireland. Subject to the following sentence, the courts of Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms, the Site or its content, whether contractual or non-contractual. Nothing in this Section prevents us from bringing proceedings for infringement of our intellectual property rights, for breach of Sections 3, 4 or 6, or for interim or injunctive relief, in the courts of the country in which you are established or in which the infringement or breach occurs.
13.8. Notices and questions. Notices and questions about these Terms should be sent to info@vegvisir.ie; our registered office is shown in our Imprint at https://vegvisir.ie/imprint. We may give notices to you by email to any address you have given us or by publishing them on the Site.
