The dual-jurisdiction framework creates a split governance structure: Irish law applies to the contract's general interpretation and performance, while mandatory consumer protection laws of the user's residence country operate concurrently and cannot be waived. This mechanism ensures that the choice of governing law does not diminish statutorily-required protections in the user's jurisdiction.
Users operate under both Irish law as the primary governing framework and the mandatory consumer protection laws of their country of residence as a floor that cannot be contractually reduced. This means that if a user's home jurisdiction provides stronger protections for consumers than Irish law, those protections remain enforceable despite the Irish governing law selection.
