Terms of Service

2. Service description

Loxavira operates an Irish aquaponics farm and provides information about aquaponics systems, farm operations, and potential products (fish and leafy greens). The Site is intended to help visitors understand how our integrated loop works and to make it possible to contact us about:

• Tours and educational visits (by appointment).
• Product availability enquiries and handling notes.
• Partnership and pilot discussions (retail, hospitality, education, research).
• General questions about our approach and operations.

The Site does not provide medical, legal, or financial advice. Any operational descriptions are general explanations and may not represent a complete set of procedures for building or operating your own system. If you intend to build an aquaponics system, you are responsible for compliance with applicable Irish and EU regulations and for appropriate professional advice.

3. User obligations

When using the Site, you agree to:

• Use the Site in a lawful manner and in good faith.
• Provide accurate information when submitting a form so we can respond effectively.
• Keep your communications respectful and relevant to your enquiry.
• Not attempt to interfere with the Site’s normal operation, performance, or security.

If the Site ever offers account features, you agree that one account may be used per individual unless we explicitly approve additional accounts for an organisation. At present, we generally operate via direct contact rather than accounts.

4. Intellectual property

The Site and all content on it, including text, design elements, diagrams, graphics, logos, icons, and code (collectively, “Content”), are owned by or licensed to Loxavira and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms, Loxavira grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Site for your personal or internal business purposes. You may view and print pages for reference. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, sell, or exploit the Content except where explicitly permitted by law or with our prior written permission.

“Loxavira” and associated marks are trademarks of Loxavira. You may not use our name, logos, or brand elements in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without explicit written permission.

5. Prohibited activities

You agree not to engage in any of the following activities in connection with the Site:

• Attempting to gain unauthorised access to the Site, our systems, or any user data.
• Scraping, harvesting, or collecting content or contact details from the Site using automated means without permission.
• Reverse engineering, decompiling, or attempting to discover the source code of the Site except where prohibited by law.

• Using the Site to send spam, bulk messages, or irrelevant promotional content.
• Infringing or violating the rights of any third party, including intellectual property and privacy rights.
• Attempting to overload, flood, or disrupt the Site or its infrastructure.

We may restrict access, block messages, or take other appropriate actions if we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached or that the Site is being used in a way that poses security or operational risk.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and Content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Loxavira disclaims all warranties and representations, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and availability.

We do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from viruses or other harmful components. We do not guarantee that information on the Site is complete, current, or suitable for your specific purposes. Aquaponics is biological and operationally complex, and results vary based on environment, system design, husbandry, and maintenance.

Any response we provide to enquiries is based on the information you supply and on our operational experience. It should not be relied on as a substitute for professional advice tailored to your context.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Loxavira will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or Content.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Loxavira’s total liability for direct damages arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms will be limited to the lower of (a) the amount paid by you to Loxavira for services in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) €100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that Irish law does not permit to be limited.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Loxavira, its owners, employees, and representatives from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your breach of these Terms.
• Your misuse of the Site or Content.
• Your violation of any law or third-party rights, including privacy and intellectual property rights.

9. Third-party links

The Site may reference or link to third-party websites or services for informational purposes. Loxavira does not control third-party sites and is not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Accessing third-party links is at your own risk, and you should review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

10. Privacy and data protection

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect (for example, contact details submitted via forms), how it is used, retention periods, and your rights under the GDPR.

If you contact us by email or phone, we will use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry. If you wish to withdraw consent or request deletion, follow the instructions in the Privacy Policy or email us at [email protected].

12. Dispute resolution

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us and provide a brief written description of the dispute and the relief you are seeking. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days of receiving the notice.

If the dispute is not resolved within that 30-day period, either party may pursue the claim in the courts identified in the governing law clause, subject to any mandatory consumer protection rules that may apply.

13. Termination

The following sections survive termination: Intellectual property, Prohibited activities, Disclaimer of warranties, Limitation of liability, Indemnification, Governing law and jurisdiction, Dispute resolution, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive.

14. Modifications to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Site, our operations, or legal requirements. Changes will be effective 14 days after we post the updated Terms on this page, unless the change is required by law to take effect sooner.
