The terms for using this website.

Section 01

Introduction

These Terms of Service apply to the website operated at ingabarkauskaite.com, together with any temporary, development or staging domain used while the website is being built, tested, maintained or updated.

The website is operated by Mega Commercial Enterprises Limited. It publishes written content, background information and a record of professional experience, and provides means of making contact.

These terms apply to use of this website only. Where any separate written agreement exists, that agreement governs its own subject matter and prevails over these terms to the extent of any conflict.

If these terms are not accepted, this website should not be used.

Section 02

Website operator and contact information

This website is operated by:

The following details are published in accordance with the European Communities (Directive 2000/31/EC) Regulations 2003:

Where an enquiry concerns one of the businesses operated by the company, it may be passed to that business so that it can respond.

Section 03

Use of this website

This website may be used for lawful, personal, informational, professional or business-related purposes. It must not be used in any way that is unlawful, harmful, misleading, abusive, disruptive or inconsistent with these terms.

In particular, you must not:

• use the website for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its server, administrative areas, email systems, forms, databases or related systems;
• upload, transmit or submit malicious code, viruses, malware, spam or harmful files;
• copy, reproduce, republish or commercially exploit website content without permission;
• misrepresent your identity, affiliation or the purpose of an enquiry;
• submit false, misleading, defamatory, offensive or unlawful content through a contact form;
• interfere with the security, functionality, availability or performance of the website;
• attempt to reverse engineer, bypass, disable or compromise any security control.

3.1 Automated access

Well-behaved automated access is permitted. Crawlers should identify themselves honestly, respect the crawl directives published by this website, and must not degrade its availability or performance for human readers. Access that does not meet those conditions may be blocked.

Access to this website may be restricted, suspended or terminated at any time where misuse, suspicious activity, security threats, spam or unlawful conduct is detected.

Section 04

Website content

The information on this website is published for general informational purposes. It includes written articles, background information, a record of professional experience, and references to the businesses operated by the company.

Although reasonable care is taken to present accurate and useful information, no guarantee is given that content is complete, current, error-free, suitable for any particular set of circumstances, or available at all times.

Content may be changed, updated, removed, expanded or corrected at any time without notice. Each article carries a publication date, and no undertaking is given that any article will be revised after publication.

Section 05

No advice and no reliance

The content on this website is not a substitute for professional advice and should not be relied on as the sole basis for any business, financial, operational, regulatory or strategic decision.

Any example, insight, article, description or business observation is provided for general information only. Nothing on this website creates a professional relationship, an advisory engagement, a fiduciary relationship, or a duty of care.

Before acting on any information published here, appropriate advice should be obtained from a qualified professional engaged for that purpose, who is able to consider the specific circumstances, structure, obligations, risks and requirements involved.

Section 06

Enquiries

This website provides means of making contact by email, by telephone, through LinkedIn and through WhatsApp, and by means of a contact form.

Making contact does not create a contract, a professional relationship, or any obligation to act. It does not oblige the company to respond, to respond within any particular period, or to accept any request described in a message.

A message sent through this website does not stop a limitation period or any other deadline from running.

6.1 No guarantee of outcome

Where content on this website describes experience of founding or operating businesses, that description is illustrative. Business outcomes depend on many factors outside the control of any website or its operator. No guarantee is given that any idea, approach or observation described here will produce any particular result.

Section 07

Consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms of Service is intended to exclude, restrict or limit any mandatory right that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer protection law.

A consumer located in Ireland or the European Union holds mandatory rights under Irish and EU consumer law. Where any provision of these terms conflicts with those rights, those rights prevail.

The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr, although direct contact is encouraged in the first instance.

Section 08

No payments through this website

This website is informational. Nothing is sold through it, no payment is taken through it, no account is created on it, and no booking, subscription, download or digital product is offered on it.

No price, fee or quotation is displayed on this website, and nothing published here constitutes an offer capable of acceptance.

Where paid offerings are introduced in future, additional terms will apply and will be published before any such offering becomes available.

Section 09

Third-party tools, platforms and links

This website links to and references third-party websites and platforms, including megacommercialenterprises.com, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and WhatsApp. It also relies on third-party services for hosting, delivery, security, analytics and typefaces.

Third-party websites and services are not controlled by this website. Their own terms, privacy policies, cookie policies, availability, security standards and data practices apply.

A link is provided for convenience only. It does not imply endorsement, responsibility, approval, partnership or guarantee. The terms and policies of any third-party service should be reviewed before it is used.

Section 10

Artificial intelligence — transparency disclosure

This section is published having regard to the transparency obligations in Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the Artificial Intelligence Act, which became applicable on 2 August 2026.

10.1 No AI system operates on this website

There is no chatbot, virtual assistant or automated agent on this website, and nothing on it interacts with a visitor. The obligation under Article 50(1) to inform a person that they are interacting with an AI system does not arise. Messages sent through this website are read by a person.

10.2 Written content

AI tools are used as an aid in drafting and editing. All content is written from the author's own record and judgement, and every page undergoes substantive human review before publication — a check of the facts, the reasoning and the wording, and not a cursory approval.

Editorial responsibility for all content published on this website is held by the company as a legal person. Under Article 50(4), that is the circumstance in which the labelling obligation for AI-assisted text published to inform the public does not apply. The position is disclosed here regardless, in the interests of transparency.

10.3 Imagery

• Photographs are genuine photographs, taken by a photographer, and are not generated, altered or enhanced by AI.
• Illustrative artwork accompanying articles is AI-generated. It depicts objects, interiors and still-life arrangements, does not depict any real person, real event or identifiable place, and is therefore not a deep fake within the meaning of Article 3(60).
• No synthetic audio or video appears anywhere on this website, and no synthetic depiction of any person.

10.4 AI assistants that read this website

This website is open to crawlers, including those operated by AI companies. Two conditions apply to that access:

• Attribution. Where content is reproduced or closely paraphrased in a generated answer, it should be attributed to this website and linked to the source page. Copyright is not extinguished by processing text through a model.
• Summaries. Where a system paraphrases this website, no responsibility is accepted for what the paraphrase states. If something is material, the original page should be read.

Section 11

Information you submit

Information submitted through this website, whether by contact form, email, telephone, LinkedIn or WhatsApp, must be accurate and lawful, and you must be entitled to provide it.

The following should not be submitted:

• information that is false, misleading, defamatory, offensive, unlawful or harmful;
• confidential information, unless necessary and appropriate;
• sensitive personal data, unless specifically required for the enquiry;
• trade secrets or proprietary information without appropriate safeguards in place;
• information belonging to another person or organisation without permission;
• files containing malware, viruses, spyware or harmful code.

Submitting information does not guarantee a response, does not create a professional relationship, and does not create an obligation of confidence beyond what applicable law requires or what has been separately agreed in writing.

How submitted information is handled is described in the Privacy Policy.

Section 12

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all website content — including text, copy, layout, structure, design, page sections, branding, graphics, images, articles and icons — is owned by or licensed to the company and is protected by copyright under the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000 and applicable international law.

The website may be viewed and used for personal, informational or internal business review. Content must not be copied, reproduced, republished, distributed, modified, sold, licensed, commercially exploited, or used to create derivative works without prior written permission.

12.1 Permitted without prior request

• Quoting a reasonable extract for the purposes of comment, criticism, review or reporting, with attribution and a link to the source page.
• Linking to any public page of this website, lawfully and without misrepresenting ownership, endorsement or affiliation.
• Citing this website as a source.

12.2 Trademarks and business names

Names, logos, brands, service names and business references appearing on this website may be protected by trademark, company name, trade name or other intellectual property rights. Nothing on this website grants any right to use any name, brand, logo or mark without permission.

Requests for permission may be sent to [email protected].

Section 13

Website availability and changes

The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. No guarantee is given that it will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, compatible with any particular device, or free from harmful components.

The website may be updated, redesigned, suspended, restricted, moved, archived or discontinued at any time without notice, and content may be changed, removed, corrected or replaced at any time.

Section 14

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are applied to maintain the security of this website, including transport encryption, a content delivery and security layer, restricted administrative access, and current software.

No website, server, email system, contact form or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Visitors are responsible for their own security measures, including keeping devices secure, using current browsers, and not submitting highly sensitive information through unsecured channels.

Any attempt to compromise website security, access restricted areas, interfere with systems or misuse the website may result in access restrictions and may be reported to relevant service providers or authorities. Unauthorised access to a computer system is an offence under the Criminal Justice (Offences Relating to Information Systems) Act 2017.

Section 15

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, this website and its content are provided without warranties, representations, guarantees or conditions of any kind, whether express or implied.

No warranty is given that:

• the website will meet any particular requirement;
• the website will be available continuously or securely;
• content will be accurate, complete, current or suitable for any particular circumstances;
• any error will be corrected within any particular period;
• the website will be free from viruses, malware, vulnerabilities or harmful components;
• any business, financial, operational or strategic outcome will be achieved.

Nothing in these terms excludes any warranty, guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Section 16

Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. Those limits apply first, and the remainder of this section is read subject to them.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by Irish law, no liability is accepted for any loss, damage, cost, claim or expense arising from or connected with use of, or inability to use, this website, or reliance on any content published on it. This includes:

• loss of profits, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill or anticipated savings;
• business interruption;
• loss or corruption of data;
• technology failure, platform errors or third-party service issues;
• security incidents beyond reasonable control;
• any decision taken or not taken in reliance on general information published here;
• indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive loss of any kind.

Nothing is sold through this website and no fee is payable to use it. Where liability nonetheless arises in connection with the website and cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to €100.

17.1 This limit applies to the website only

This clause governs use of this website. It does not purport to limit liability arising under any separate written agreement, which is governed by its own terms.

Section 17

Indemnity

You are responsible for any loss, damage, claim, liability, cost or expense arising from misuse of this website, breach of these terms, unlawful conduct, infringement of third-party rights, or submission of unlawful or harmful content.

This provision applies to the extent permitted by applicable law and does not apply to a consumer to the extent that it would conflict with mandatory consumer protection law.

Section 18

Privacy and cookies

Use of this website involves the processing of personal data and the use of cookies and similar technologies.

The following documents form part of the arrangements governing this website and should be read together with these terms:

• Privacy Policy — what personal data is collected, why, how long it is kept, and what rights apply.
• Cookie Policy — every cookie this website can set, and how to change or withdraw consent.
• Disclaimer — the limits of the content published here.

Cookie preferences may be changed at any time through Cookie Settings, linked in the footer of every page.

Section 19

Accessibility and browser compatibility

Reasonable efforts are made to keep this website accessible and usable. Accessibility and browser compatibility may nonetheless vary depending on device, browser, operating system, assistive technology and third-party tools.

Where difficulty is experienced in accessing information on this website, contact may be made using the details in these terms, and reasonable assistance will be provided to supply the information in another form.

Section 20

Changes to these terms

These Terms of Service may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, to legal requirements, or to the services and tools the website relies on.

The date shown at the top of this page indicates when these terms were last revised. Continued use of the website after updated terms are published constitutes acceptance of them from the date of publication.

Section 21

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of Ireland.

Subject to any mandatory rights held under applicable consumer law, disputes relating to this website or these terms are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland. A consumer resident elsewhere in the European Economic Area retains the protection of the mandatory laws of that country and may bring proceedings there.

Where this website is accessed from outside Ireland, the person accessing it is responsible for compliance with any local law that applies to them.

21.1 General provisions

• Severability — if any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder continues in force.
• No waiver — failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it subsequently.
• Entire agreement — these terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the whole of the arrangements relating to use of this website.
• No third-party rights — these terms confer no benefit on any person who is not a party to them.
