You must be at least 16 years old to use this website. If you are under 18, you should use the website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf and supervises your use.

2. Service description and scope

Civic Guide Ltd provides an educational platform offering step-by-step video tutorials and related written checklists about Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Mac, iMac, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Our content focuses on setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting steps that a typical user can perform.

We are not a repair service and do not provide device repair, diagnostics, parts replacement, call-out services, or warranty support. Nothing on this website should be interpreted as a promise that a device issue will be resolved, or as a substitute for professional support where it is required.

Our tutorials may refer to common queries such as macbook repair dublin, macbook screen replacement dublin, or iphone battery replacement ireland to help users find educational information. These references do not imply that we provide those services.

3. User obligations

You agree to use the website in a lawful manner and in accordance with these Terms. You must not use the website in any way that could harm the website, interfere with other users, or violate any applicable law or regulation in Ireland or elsewhere.

  • Use the tutorials responsibly, and stop if you are uncertain, uncomfortable, or the device appears unsafe (for example, overheating or battery swelling).
  • Maintain your own backups, account credentials, and security. Some troubleshooting steps may involve changing settings or restoring software, and you are responsible for protecting your data.
  • Provide accurate information if you contact us through our contact channels.

4. Accounts and one-person access

At this time, Civic Guide may be used without creating an account. If we introduce accounts or subscriptions in the future, you agree that you will create no more than one account per person, keep your login details confidential, and notify us if you suspect unauthorised access.

We may add, remove, or change features over time. We do not guarantee that any particular tutorial, device category, or feature will remain available.

We do not guarantee that the website will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any tutorial will achieve a particular outcome. Device troubleshooting can depend on many factors, including device model, iOS or macOS version, hardware condition, accessories, and third-party apps.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Civic Guide Ltd will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from or related to your use of the website or reliance on its content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Civic Guide Ltd’s total direct liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the website or these Terms is capped at the lower of (a) the total amount you paid to Civic Guide Ltd in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 100.
