In this MSA, the following definitions apply:
2.1 Commercial License: This arrangement constitutes a B2B Commercial License to Occupy and does not create a residential tenancy. The Corporate Client acknowledges that this arrangement falls strictly outside the jurisdiction of the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) 2004 (as amended) and the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB).
2.2 Permitted Occupants: The License is granted solely for the temporary accommodation of the Client’s designated Permitted Occupants. The Client acknowledges and agrees that all Permitted Occupants are licensees of the Corporate Client and hold no independent legal, tenancy, or occupancy interest in the Property under the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 or any other applicable housing legislation. The Corporate Client assumes full responsibility for the conduct of all Permitted Occupants during their stay.
2.3 Non-Domicile Warranty: The Client warrants that no property secured under an ISO shall be established as the permanent principal private residence or permanent legal domicile of any Permitted Occupant.
3.1 No Exclusive Possession: HomeBridge retains overarching legal possession and control of the property at all times. The Client and Permitted Occupants do not possess the right to exclude HomeBridge from the premises.
3.2 Unconditional Access: HomeBridge reserves an absolute, unconditional right of access to the property at all times to perform rolling structural audits, preventative maintenance, and asset preservation checks (both scheduled and unscheduled). Refusal of entry constitutes a material breach.
4.1 Mobilisation Period: Upon execution of an ISO, HomeBridge requires a minimum 60-day mobilisation period to secure, stage, and furnish the requested asset.
4.2 Deemed Commencement & Capacity Reservation Tariff: Financial obligations commence strictly on the Agreed Start Date listed in the ISO. If a Permitted Occupant’s arrival is delayed, the Client remains liable for the Capacity Reservation Tariff. This tariff is charged to reserve the exclusive availability of the property within the HomeBridge portfolio during periods where the property is physically unoccupied but legally encumbered by an active ISO.
4.3 Right of Substitution: HomeBridge reserves the right to relocate Permitted Occupants to an alternative, materially equivalent property within the same geographic corridor upon the provision of 72 hours’ written notice.
The Client acknowledges that to deliver comprehensive regional coverage across Ireland, HomeBridge utilises a distributed network of vetted on-site operator partners. While the commercial contract, invoicing trail, and legal accountability remain centralized through HomeBridge to maintain a unified enterprise interface (“One HomeBridge”), the daily on-site operations — including check-in logistics, on-site key handovers, routine cleaning, and immediate maintenance turnarounds — may be fulfilled by our authorised localised asset operators.
6.1 Damage Indemnity: The Client assumes full financial liability for the commercial replacement cost of any furniture, fixtures, fittings, or structural elements damaged by Permitted Occupants beyond fair wear and tear. A mandatory deep-cleaning levy is applied at the conclusion of every ISO term.
6.2 Corporate Overstay Penalty: Should a Permitted Occupant fail to completely vacate the premises upon the strict expiration date of an ISO, the Client shall be liable for an immediate overstay penalty calculated at 250% of the standard daily gross rate. This overstay penalty accumulates daily until full vacant possession is delivered. The Corporate Client further indemnifies HomeBridge against any secondary legal costs, operational losses, or third-party landlord penalties arising from the delayed vacancy.
7.1 Notice Period: Unless locked into a fixed placement term, the Client may terminate an active ISO by providing a minimum of ninety (90) days’ formal written notice.
7.2 Limitation of Liability: HomeBridge’s aggregate financial liability arising under or in connection with any individual ISO shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client under that specific ISO during the preceding six (6) months.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HomeBridge Residential Services Limited and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; or (ii) any fraudulent, misleading, or harmful conduct on your part in connection with your interactions with HomeBridge.
HomeBridge shall not be liable for any failure to perform, or delay in the performance of, any of its obligations under these Terms or any ISO that is caused by events outside its reasonable control (“Force Majeure Event”). A Force Majeure Event includes, but is not limited to, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes, utility failure or transport network breakdown, acts of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm, or default of suppliers or subcontractors. HomeBridge’s performance under any Agreement is suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues.
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the remainder of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the original provision.
HomeBridge reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We recommend that you review these Terms periodically. Material changes affecting existing contractual arrangements will be communicated directly to the affected parties.
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ireland. Any such dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland, without prejudice to your statutory rights as a consumer under EU law (where applicable).
In the event of any dispute arising from these Terms or from any business relationship with HomeBridge, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith direct negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of written notice of the dispute, either party may refer the matter to mediation before a mutually agreed mediator, in accordance with the Mediation Act 2017 (Ireland). Where mediation fails or is not appropriate, the dispute shall be referred to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts as set out in Clause 13 above.
This clause does not affect any statutory dispute resolution rights you may have as a consumer or business under Irish or EU law.
