2. Role as Agent
junkandwaste.ie is a facilitation and referral platform. We operate strictly as an agent for the arrangement of junk removal and skip hire services. This means:
We do not carry out any junk or waste removal services ourselves.
All services are provided by independent third-party service providers (the “Service Providers”) with whom you will contract directly.
Once a booking is submitted via our Website, we will attempt to match you with an available Service Provider. Your booking is not confirmed until accepted by the Service Provider.
Upon acceptance, your contract for services is strictly between you (the customer) and the Service Provider.
Rise Investments Limited is not a party to this service contract, and bears no liability in connection with the execution, quality, timeliness, or outcome of the service.
3. Booking and Payments
We collect details through our Website to facilitate a connection between you and a Service Provider.
In some cases, we may take payment on behalf of the Service Provider. In such instances, we act purely as a payment collection agent and forward payments to the Service Provider.
We do not guarantee availability, pricing, or the acceptance of any booking request.
4. No Liability for Third-Party Actions
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Rise Investments Limited shall not be liable for:
Any injury, loss, damage, or destruction to property (including land, vehicles, structures, or possessions), personal harm, death, or financial loss caused by any Service Provider.
Any misrepresentation, breach of contract, negligence, recklessness, or criminal conduct on the part of a Service Provider.
Any failure by a Service Provider to carry out services in accordance with agreed standards or timelines.
Any environmental or regulatory violation caused by the Service Provider during the course of their work.
Delays, disruptions, or disputes between you and the Service Provider.
You acknowledge and accept that all services are provided independently by third parties and we are not responsible for their conduct or performance.
5. Indemnity
You agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rise Investments Limited, its directors, employees, affiliates, agents, and contractors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:
Any damage, personal injury, or death occurring during or as a result of services provided by a third-party Service Provider.
Your use of the Website or your reliance on information or services provided through it.
Your violation of any law, regulation, or rights of a third party.
Any claim made by a Service Provider due to your non-compliance with agreed terms.

The collection poses a health or safety risk, is unlawful, or violates environmental regulations.
The waste is materially different from what was described at the time of booking.
