The Website provides Users with general information about the owner of the Website, its services and activities (the “Content”), all in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. As it is a professional site, its content is not aimed at Users who are minors.

If the user continues browsing and making use of the services that we offer through our Website, he/she accepts without any reservation these Terms and Conditions of use.

The owner has also obtained the appropriate authorisations regarding the image rights of anyone appearing on its Website.

The total or partial reproduction, copy or distribution of the Content is prohibited without the owner’s express authorisation. Under no circumstances shall the User’s access and browsing be deemed to imply that the Website owner waives, transfers, licenses, or fully or partially surrenders these rights.

The operation of the Website is supported by service providers’ servers connected via public and private communications infrastructures.

The Website owner will do everything possible to ensure that it functions properly. However, it cannot guarantee that there will be no interruptions in availability due to technical reasons for the purposes of carrying out repair and/or maintenance tasks or due to lack of coverage or failure of equipment and/or networks needed to transmit data, which are beyond its control.

Thus, access to the Website may be suspended for reasons of force majeure (unforeseeable reasons or reasons that, although foreseen or foreseeable, are unavoidable) such as those expressed below and which include but are not limited to:

Breach of any of the rules included within these Terms and Conditions or any breach of the legislation under which they are protected shall lead to the User being liable before the Website owner and/or third parties for any damage or harm that may be caused as a consequence of such non-compliance, regardless of whether this involves an unlawful act, a government sanction, a misdemeanour or a crime, and shall entitle the Website owner, where applicable, to hold them accountable in the appropriate civil, administrative, employment or criminal realm.

The owner’s responsibility

The Website owner is not responsible for any damage caused to the User or third parties as a result of a breach attributable to the User or any alteration to the User’s equipment.

Specifically, it undertakes to apply the provisions of Fundamental Law 15/1999 of 13 December regarding Spain’s Data Protection Act (“LOPD”), Spanish Royal Decree 1720/2007 of 19 January, which approves the Regulation implementing the LOPD, and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation 679/2016 of 27 April 2016.
