Terms of Service

Last updated: 13/5/2026

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using Subbi you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. The service

Subbi is a marketplace that helps Irish schools find substitute teachers. Subbi facilitates introductions and bookings; it does not employ teachers or operate schools.

3. Independent contractors

Teachers using Subbi are independent contractors. They are not employees, agents or workers of Subbi. The hiring school is solely responsible for the engagement, payment, and any employment-law obligations relating to the substitute teacher booked through the platform.

4. Compliance verification

Subbi displays compliance information (Garda vetting, Teaching Council registration, Child Safeguarding) as reported by teachers. Schools remain legally responsible for verifying Garda vetting status before employment under the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012–2016.

5. Payments

Substitute teacher pay is set by the Department of Education at fixed daily rates. Subbi does not set, collect or process the daily rate paid to teachers; payment runs through the school's payroll and OLCS in the usual way.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the platform, post false information, harass other users, or use Subbi for any unlawful purpose.

7. Liability

Subbi provides the platform "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, Subbi is not liable for any indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the service or from any engagement entered into between a school and a teacher.

8. Termination

You may close your account at any time by contacting support@subbi.ie. We may suspend accounts that breach these Terms.

9. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. The courts of Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms.
