  8. Will not attempt to advertise any goods or services.

• Lost and Found Pets Ireland does NOT guarantee the truthfulness of any material posted to lostandfoundpets.ie by third parties.

• Lost and Found Pets Ireland will not be held liable for any loss or damages, direct or indirect, arising from lostandfoundpets.ie being unavailable at any time.
• By posting a listing on this website, you are granting Joe Molloy of Lost and Found Pets Ireland full copyright on the watermarked photos produced to accompany your published listing wherever they are used. Of course, this copyright does not apply to the original version of your photo that you upload.
  
  This term is being applied to prevent unauthorised third parties claiming by inference or otherwise to have an association with or endorsement from Lost and Found Pets Ireland, which could damage the interests and/or good reputation of this project. You are being required to vest the copyright for the watermarked copies in the founder of this website personally as Lost and Found Pets Ireland is currently not a legal entity in it's own right and would not therefore be able to pursue violations.
• By posting a listing on Lost and Found Pets Ireland, you are asserting your right under all applicable copyright law to retain full and direct control of your listing and also acknowledge the value of the service Lost and Found Pets Ireland provide you with. Therefore you expressly forbid any third party from copying the published details of your listing on to any system for public display, offline or online, that does not meet the following criteria:
  1. The copied listing must publicly and prominently attribute Lost and Found Pets Ireland as the original publisher of the listing. No login or registration should be required to view this attribution.
  2. The copied listing must publicly and prominently contain a hyperlink back to the original listing with no rel="nofollow" or target="_blank" attribute in the link HTML tag and the link text must contain the content of the HTML <title> element of the original listing page on Lost and Found Pets Ireland. Once again, no login or registration must be required to view or use this link
  
  This term is being added to ensure you retain full control over your listing so that if you need to make changes or remove it, any copied instances of your ad will reference these changes. It is intended to prevent unscrupulous and unethical third party sites posting listings on their own site using the information you have published on Lost and Found Pets Ireland without your express consent & beyond your direct and full control. It also ensures that the hard work the founder of can not be used for free to profit the owners of such sites.
• Lost and Found Pets Ireland reserves the right to amend and or update these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice.
