The contribution is provided to Irish Heritage News (hereafter IHN) as an irrevocable contribution, subject to any exercise of the contributor’s right to receive a refund and IHN’s right to return any contribution at its discretion.
The contribution is made subject to these Terms and Conditions, which shall constitute a legally binding agreement between the contributor and IHN (the “Agreement”), entered into by each party in consideration of the other’s obligations under these Terms and Conditions.
- CONDITIONS
Contributions will be accepted from individuals as well as any other legal entities.
Contributors who are individuals must be aged 18 or over.
Acceptance of any contribution is at the discretion of IHN.
- ADMINISTRATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS
Each contribution will be identifiable by a unique payment identification number and so are individually refundable, and will be accounted for separately by IHN.
From the moment the contribution is processed, IHN will be legally and beneficially entitled to the full amount of the contribution and the contributor has no entitlement to the return of a contribution in any circumstances other than as specified in these Terms and Conditions.
The contributor shall receive no benefit in return for any contribution and shall have no rights to influence the editorial policy or output of IHN.
IHN will not compensate, whether through commissions, finders’ fees or other means, any third party for directing a contribution to IHN.
Contributions to IHN are not charitable donations under law and, as far as IHN is aware, contributors shall not be entitled to any tax relief in respect of their contributions.
- REFUNDS AND CANCELLATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS
IHN reserves the right to refuse and return any contribution in its absolute discretion, including without limitation where it believes that accepting the contribution would conflict with the mission, values or interests of IHN, and/or where, having regard to the source of the contribution or intentions of the contributor, IHN considers that to accept the contribution could damage the independence or reputation of IHN or adversely affect the relationship of IHN with other contributors.
Contributors shall be entitled to receive a refund of their contribution for up to 14 days after receipt of payment by notifying IHN by email at info@irishheritagenews.ie. Any requests for a refund of a contribution received by IHN following expiry of the 14-day period will be ineligible.
Any refused and/or returned contributions shall be repaid into the account from which the contribution was made.

IHN reserves the right to:
Request the full name and contact details of the contributor;
Request from the contributor any other information that it considers to be necessary or desirable to determine the provenance of the contribution;
Undertake any further investigations it deems fit to determine the provenance of the contribution.
If the contributor refuses to provide any information as outlined above, IHN may refuse and return the contribution to the contributor at its discretion.
- CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY
Contributors shall not be entitled to publicise their contribution or otherwise market themselves or any connected person or business in connection with their contribution, except with the prior written consent of IHN and then only if the contributor complies with any relevant policies, procedures or requirements of IHN.
- DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY
Information about how we handle your personal data is set out separately in the IHN Privacy Policy.
