Ireland –TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: June 2026
Important notice
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before downloading the app, using the website, creating an account, posting a Gig, applying for a Gig, or using any Gigable feature.
By accessing or using the Gigable Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Gigable Platform.
These Terms contain important information about legal rights, obligations, limitations of liability, risk allocation, worker eligibility, and the independent-contractor nature of engagements facilitated through the Gigable Platform.
As part of using the Platform, all Users are required to make and maintain certain declarations about their eligibility and responsibilities (see Section 12). These declarations are confirmed when you register, when you accept these Terms, and on any periodic re-confirmation we ask you to complete. Completing them is a standard condition of using the Platform.
1. Who we are
We are Gigable Limited (“Gigable”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in Ireland with company registration number 631191 and registered office at Penrose Two, Penrose Dock, Cork City, Ireland, T23 YY09.
You can contact us at info@gigable.com.
2. These Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of:
- the Gigable mobile application (the “App”);
- the Gigable website at gigable.com (the “Website”); and
- all related software, content, messaging, payment, onboarding, scheduling, record-keeping, and related features made available by Gigable (together, the “Platform”).
These Terms apply together with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Cookies Policy. If there is any conflict, these Terms prevail in relation to the subject matter covered here.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will apply from the date they are published on the Platform or otherwise notified to you, and your continued use of the Platform after that date confirms your acceptance of them.
3. Core nature of the Platform
Gigable is a technology platform for flexible independent-contractor work.
Gigable provides software and marketplace features that may include Gig posting and discovery; applications and acceptances; messaging and coordination tools; scheduling and record-keeping tools; payment processing support; onboarding and profile tools; and optional account-management or support features where expressly agreed.
Gigable is not:
- an employer of Freelancers;
- an employer of record;
- a staffing agency or recruitment agency;
- a payroll provider for employees;
- a guarantor of worker classification; or
- a guarantor of any User’s right to work, immigration permission, licensing, or legal eligibility.
Gigable does not direct, supervise, control, manage, or guarantee the actual performance of work by Freelancers for Gig Owners. If a Gig Owner and Freelancer enter into an engagement, that engagement is directly between them, and Gigable is not a party to it unless expressly agreed in writing.
4. Definitions
“Account” means a registered user account on the Platform.
“Features” means the services, software functions, payment features, communication tools, records, and other functionality provided through the Platform.
“Freelancer” means a User who browses, applies for, accepts, or performs Gigs through the Platform.
“Gig” means a short-term project, shift, task, or engagement posted on the Platform.
“Gig Compensation” means the payment agreed between the Gig Owner and Freelancer for a Gig.
“Gig Owner” means a User who posts, negotiates, offers, or contracts for a Gig through the Platform.
“Management Features” means any additional support, screening, administrative, or communication assistance expressly requested from Gigable and agreed in advance.
“User” means any person or business using the Platform.
5. Eligibility
You may only use the Platform if you are at least 18 years old, you have legal capacity to enter into a binding contract, and you comply with all laws applicable to your use of the Platform.
If you use the Platform for or on behalf of a company, partnership, or other entity, you confirm you have authority to bind that entity.
6. Accounts and accuracy of information
To use certain Features, you must create an Account. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information and keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity on your Account.
Gigable may suspend, restrict, or terminate an Account where information provided is inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete; where we reasonably suspect fraud, unlawful activity, or breach of these Terms; or where continued use of the Account creates legal, operational, or reputational risk for Gigable or other Users.
7. How Gigs work
7.1 Posting and applying
A Gig Owner may post a Gig through the Platform. A Freelancer may browse, apply for, or accept available Gigs through the Platform.
7.2 No obligation to offer or accept
Gig Owners are not obliged to offer any Gig to any Freelancer. Freelancers are not obliged to apply for or accept any Gig.
7.3 Gig commitment and overlap
Once a Freelancer confirms a Gig, the Freelancer commits to performing that Gig for its agreed duration and must not accept overlapping work commitments that would prevent them from completing it. For clarity, this restriction applies only to overlapping commitments that interfere with the agreed Gig, and does not create general exclusivity between a Freelancer and a Gig Owner.
7.4 Direct engagement
Any engagement for work is directly between the Gig Owner and the Freelancer. Gigable does not employ the Freelancer and is not the contracting party for the performance of the Gig unless expressly agreed in writing.
7.5 No guarantee of outcome
Gigable does not guarantee that any Gig will be filled, that any Freelancer will be suitable, that any Gig Owner will proceed, that any work will be completed successfully, or any attendance, substitution, or fulfilment outcome. Gigable may provide tools that support substitution, attendance tracking, messaging, or records, but does not guarantee performance or fulfilment.
8. Management Features
Gigable may, where expressly agreed in advance, provide additional Management Features such as onboarding support, communication support, profile and document collection support, basic coordination support, and assistance explaining Platform functionality.
Any such Management Features are administrative and informational only unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. By providing Management Features, Gigable does not become the employer of any Freelancer, become a staffing agency, assume responsibility for worker classification, assume responsibility for right-to-work, permit, licensing, or regulatory checks, or guarantee the suitability, competence, or legal compliance of any User. Any Management Fee must be agreed in advance.
9. Fees and payments
Gigable may charge Gig Owner Fees, Freelancer Fees, Management Fees, cancellation fees, or other fees as notified on the Platform or otherwise agreed. Fees are subject to VAT where applicable.
Payments between Users must be made through approved Platform payment flows unless Gigable agrees otherwise in writing. Gigable may suspend Accounts or Features where sums due remain unpaid.
Users remain responsible for their own taxes, VAT treatment, filings, and legal obligations unless applicable law expressly provides otherwise.
10. Independent contractor structure and legal responsibility
10.1 Platform intention
The Platform is intended to facilitate independent-contractor engagements where lawful and appropriate. It includes workflow features designed to support contractor-style engagements, such as worker-led Gig application and acceptance; no general obligation on Freelancers to accept Gigs or on Gig Owners to award them; the ability for Freelancers to work with multiple clients; tools that may support substitution or reassignment where the relevant Gig setup permits; and software-based coordination rather than direct employment administration.
10.2 No legal guarantee
Notwithstanding the above, Gigable does not warrant, guarantee, or represent that any Gig, any User relationship, or any use of the Platform will constitute a valid contract for services or independent-contractor arrangement under Irish law or any other law. Worker classification depends on the actual facts of the relationship, including how the Gig is performed in practice.
10.3 Gig Owner responsibility
Each Gig Owner is solely responsible for ensuring that the Gig is structured and operated lawfully; that any Freelancer engaged through the Platform is engaged under a legally valid arrangement; that it does not use the Platform in a way that creates an employment relationship contrary to law while representing it as independent contracting; and that all applicable employment, tax, PRSI, immigration, permit, health and safety, industry-specific, and regulatory requirements are satisfied.
10.4 Freelancer responsibility
Each Freelancer is solely responsible for ensuring that they are legally entitled to provide services in the Republic of Ireland; that they are legally entitled to do so on a self-employed / independent-contractor basis where relevant; that they comply with all tax, immigration, permit, licensing, and regulatory obligations applicable to them; and that the information and documents they provide are true, current, and complete.
10.5 No payroll or employer obligations assumed by Gigable
Gigable does not undertake responsibility for PAYE withholding, employer PRSI, USC collection, holiday pay, sick pay, pension contributions, minimum notice, unfair dismissal rights, or any other employer obligation, unless Gigable expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
11. Right to work, immigration, permits, and eligibility
11.1 Freelancer responsibility
Each Freelancer is solely responsible for ensuring that they have the legal right to reside and work in Ireland where required; hold any required immigration permission, permit, registration, licence, or certification; are legally permitted to undertake services on an independent-contractor basis where relevant; and comply with any limits, conditions, or restrictions attached to their permission or status.
11.2 Gig Owner responsibility
Each Gig Owner acknowledges that Gigable does not assess, confirm, or guarantee any Freelancer’s immigration status, employment permit status, right to work, right to work on a self-employed basis, professional licence or certification, or regulatory eligibility. Each Gig Owner is solely responsible for ensuring that any Freelancer they engage through the Platform is lawfully eligible for the relevant Gig.
11.3 Gigable discretion
Gigable may request information or documents from any User where we reasonably believe it is necessary to verify identity, support payment processing, respond to legal or regulatory concerns, reduce platform risk, or investigate suspected unlawful or non-compliant activity. Gigable may refuse, suspend, restrict, or terminate access where requested information is not provided or where Gigable reasonably believes a User or Gig presents material legal or regulatory risk.
11.4 No verification duty assumed
Unless expressly stated by Gigable in writing for a specific Feature, Gigable does not undertake any duty to validate immigration status, work permissions, permit conditions, or legal eligibility.
12. Declarations
To use the Platform, each User must make and maintain the declarations set out below. These declarations are confirmed on registration, on acceptance of these Terms, and on each periodic re-confirmation Gigable may require. Continued use of the Platform constitutes ongoing confirmation that each applicable declaration remains true.
12.1 Freelancer declarations
Each Freelancer declares and confirms that:
- they are legally entitled to provide the relevant services in the Republic of Ireland;
- where relevant, they are legally entitled to do so on a self-employed / independent-contractor basis, and are not subject to any immigration, permit, visa, or other condition that prevents self-employment or the provision of contractor services;
- they hold any permission, permit, registration, licence, or certification required for the Gigs they undertake, and will comply with any conditions or limits attached to their status; and
- the information and documents they provide are true, current, and complete.
12.2 Gig Owner declarations
Each Gig Owner declares and confirms that:
- it will only engage Freelancers through the Platform under a genuine, lawful contract-for-services arrangement;
- it is responsible for satisfying itself that each Freelancer it engages is lawfully eligible to perform the relevant Gig, including on a self-employed basis where relevant;
- it will not use the Platform to engage any person it knows, or ought reasonably to know, is not permitted to provide services on a self-employed basis; and
- it accepts responsibility for its own compliance with employment, tax, immigration, permit, health and safety, and regulatory obligations connected to any Gig.
12.3 Reliance and effect
Gigable relies on these declarations. Gigable does not independently verify immigration status, permit conditions, or self-employment eligibility unless expressly stated in writing for a specific Feature. Providing a false or misleading declaration is a breach of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination of the relevant Account and the other consequences set out in these Terms.
13. Status and basis of engagement
The Platform is designed with reference to the factors relevant to employment status under Irish law, including the framework considered by the Supreme Court in The Revenue Commissioners v Karshan (Midlands) Ltd t/a Domino’s Pizza [2023] IESC 24 and related Revenue guidance. Features intended to support a genuine contract-for-services arrangement include worker-led application and acceptance, the absence of any general obligation on a Freelancer to accept Gigs or on a Gig Owner to offer them, the ability to work for multiple clients, and support for substitution where the relevant Gig permits.
The design of the Platform does not, and is not intended to, determine or guarantee the status of any engagement. Worker classification depends on the actual facts of each relationship, including how a Gig is performed in practice. Each Gig Owner and Freelancer is responsible for ensuring their arrangement operates lawfully as a contract for services.
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employer-employee relationship between Gigable and any User. Gigable does not employ Freelancers and is not a party to any engagement between a Gig Owner and a Freelancer unless expressly agreed in writing.
Each Freelancer is solely responsible for declaring and paying their own income tax, USC, PRSI, and any other liabilities arising from Gigs, and for filing with Revenue as a self-assessed person. Gigable does not operate PAYE, employer PRSI, USC collection, or any employer obligation in respect of Freelancers.
14. Working time, health and safety, and training
Freelancers are responsible for managing the time they spend working and for ensuring they comply with any personal legal limits, permit conditions, or other restrictions applicable to them.
Gig Owners are responsible for the safety of the workplace and Gig environment; any site-specific induction, instruction, or safety training required; compliance with applicable health and safety laws; and ensuring the Gig can be performed safely. Gigable accepts no responsibility for supervising the workplace or monitoring compliance with health and safety obligations.
15. Vetting, checks, and information provided through the Platform
Gigable does not perform background checks, right-to-work checks, permit checks, or professional-verification checks by default unless expressly stated. Any ratings, reviews, documents, profile statements, or other information on the Platform may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated.
Users must make their own independent assessment of suitability and compliance before entering into an engagement. Where Gigable assists with administrative or communication support, such assistance does not amount to a guarantee or certification of any User.
16. Cancellations, no-shows, and platform conduct
Gigable may set platform rules for cancellations, no-shows, ratings, suspensions, or account restrictions. Such rules are platform rules only and do not make Gigable the employer, manager, or guarantor of performance.
17. Acceptable use
You must not use the Platform unlawfully; fraudulently; in breach of immigration, tax, permit, employment, safety, or other applicable laws; to misrepresent employment status or legal eligibility; to upload false or misleading documents or information; to route payments outside the Platform where prohibited by these Terms; or in a way that damages, disrupts, overloads, or compromises the Platform.
Gigable may investigate suspected misuse and may report matters to relevant authorities where appropriate.
18. Confidentiality and data protection
Each User is responsible for complying with all data-protection obligations applicable to them, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Data Protection Acts 1988 to 2018. Gigable processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
Where a Gig Owner receives personal data about a Freelancer through the Platform, the Gig Owner is solely responsible for using that data lawfully.
19. Intellectual property
Gigable retains all rights in the Platform and Features. As between Gig Owner and Freelancer, unless otherwise agreed directly between them, work product created by a Freelancer for a Gig Owner belongs as agreed between those parties. Gigable is not responsible for disputes between Users regarding intellectual property, deliverables, or ownership.
20. Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gigable excludes all liability for:
- loss of profits, revenue, business, contracts, opportunity, goodwill, or reputation;
- indirect or consequential loss;
- any act or omission of any Gig Owner, Freelancer, or other User;
- worker classification, employment status, tax, PRSI, USC, social-insurance, immigration, right-to-work, permit, licensing, or regulatory issues arising from any Gig or User relationship;
- any injury, loss, claim, or damage arising from a Gig or from the conduct of any User; and
- the suitability, legality, or performance of any Gig, Gig Owner, or Freelancer.
Gigable’s maximum aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Platform, or the Features shall not exceed €550. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
21. Indemnities
21.1 Freelancer indemnity
Each Freelancer agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified Gigable against any claims, losses, liabilities, costs, penalties, taxes, interest, or expenses arising out of or in connection with: breach of these Terms; inaccurate or misleading information, documents, or declarations; lack of legal right to work or provide services; breach of tax, immigration, permit, licensing, or regulatory obligations; or any claim that Gigable is responsible for the Freelancer’s tax, social-insurance, immigration, or employment obligations.
21.2 Gig Owner indemnity
Each Gig Owner agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified Gigable against any claims, losses, liabilities, costs, penalties, taxes, interest, or expenses arising out of or in connection with: breach of these Terms; worker misclassification; PAYE, PRSI, USC, tax, employment-rights, or social-insurance claims connected to any Gig or Freelancer engagement; immigration, right-to-work, permit, or eligibility breaches involving any Freelancer engaged by the Gig Owner through the Platform; workplace safety, training, supervision, discrimination, or other employment-related claims arising from the Gig Owner’s conduct or the Gig environment; and any claim that Gigable was the employer, recruiter, staffing agency, or contracting principal in respect of a Gig, except to the extent caused by Gigable’s own written agreement to assume such role.
21.3 General indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Gigable harmless from claims arising from your use of the Platform, your interactions with other Users, and your breach of law or these Terms.
22. Suspension and termination
Gigable may suspend, restrict, or terminate Accounts or access to Features where these Terms are breached; payments are overdue; information requested by Gigable is not provided; we reasonably suspect fraud, illegality, misclassification risk, immigration risk, permit risk, safety risk, or other material platform risk; or continued use creates legal, operational, or reputational exposure for Gigable. Gigable may do so with or without notice where reasonably necessary.
23. Disputes between Users
Disputes regarding Gigs are between the Gig Owner and Freelancer. Gigable may, but is not obliged to, provide limited support or administrative assistance, and is not required to adjudicate disputes or determine who is legally right between Users.
24. No permanent placement or circumvention of fees
Gigable is not a staffing agency, recruitment agency, or employment business, and the Platform must not be used to source or appoint permanent employees.
A Gig Owner must not use the Platform to identify a Freelancer and then engage, hire, or contract that Freelancer (whether as an employee or otherwise) outside the Platform in order to avoid Fees. If Gigable reasonably suspects that a Gig Owner has engaged or hired, otherwise than through the Platform, a Freelancer first connected through the Platform within six (6) months of that Freelancer’s most recent Gig with that Gig Owner, Gigable may treat this as a breach of these Terms and may suspend or terminate the Gig Owner’s Account.
25. Assignment
Gigable may at any time assign, novate, transfer, charge, sub-contract, or otherwise deal with any or all of its rights and obligations under these Terms, including to any successor, acquirer, or group company, without the consent of any User. This will not affect any User’s rights under these Terms.
A User may not assign, novate, sub-contract, or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without Gigable’s prior written consent.
26. Events outside our control
Gigable will not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms caused by any act or event beyond its reasonable control, including failure of public or private telecommunications or payment networks, and any pandemic, epidemic, or act of God (an “Event Outside Our Control”).
If an Event Outside Our Control affects Gigable’s performance, its obligations will be suspended for the duration of the event and the time for performance extended accordingly, and Gigable will use reasonable endeavours to find a solution by which its obligations may be performed.
27. No disparagement
A User shall not make, or cause to be made, any statement (whether of fact, belief, or opinion) that directly or indirectly disparages, is derogatory to, or damages the reputation of Gigable, whether in relation to the Platform, the Features, or otherwise. Nothing in this clause prevents a User from making any disclosure required by law or to a regulator, or from giving honest evidence in any proceeding.
28. General
These Terms are governed by Irish law, and the courts of Ireland shall have exclusive jurisdiction unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and the remaining provisions remain in force. Gigable’s failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of it.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between Gigable and the User regarding use of the Platform, except where Gigable agrees separate written terms.
