2. Conditions for access and use of the portal

Access to the Portal implies prior reading and acceptance by Users of these General Conditions of Access and Use (hereafter, “the General Conditions”). The act of accessing and making use of the Portal shall be understood as the expression of full and unconditional acceptance by the User of the content of each and every one of these General Conditions as they appear on the Portal at the time of access. Where the User is not in agreement with the content of these General Conditions, he or she must refrain from accessing the Portal or operating through it. The Portal reserves the right to modify these General Conditions by announcing the changes on the Portal itself, in such a way that Users are kept duly informed at all times.

The contracting and/or use of certain Services available on the Portal may require User identification and his or her acceptance of specific conditions that may expand upon, supplement and/or even modify these General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter, “the Specific Terms and Conditions”). Users must also carefully read the content of the corresponding Specific Conditions, or any other legal notice appearing on the Portal.

As a User, you hereby declare yourself to be of legal age and/or in possession of sufficient legal capacity to be bound by these General Terms and Conditions (and, where applicable, by the Specific Terms and Conditions regulating the use of a given Service) and to use and, where applicable, contract the Services offered via the Portal. The User hereby expresses his or her full and unconditional acceptance that all access and use of the Portal, its Services and its contents is made under his or her sole responsibility.

Where there is any contradiction between the General Conditions of Access and Use of the Portal and any Specific Conditions, the latter will apply, except where the General Conditions are more favourable to the User than said Specific Conditions.


3. Content of the portal

3.1 Upon visiting the Portal, the User acknowledges, understands and accepts that the information provided on said Portal regarding products and services or any other information contained therein is displayed solely for informational purposes, and should be regarded as preliminary information made available to the User which may at any given moment contain errors, inaccuracies or be out-of-date.

3.2 The COMPANY reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to unilaterally modify or implement changes to the configuration of the Portal at its discretion, as well as to the content and range of Services provided over it and the corresponding conditions of access. Similarly, the COMPANY reserves the right to add new Services and content to the Portal, as well as to temporarily or permanently delete, restrict, suspend or prevent access to the Services provided over the Portal under any of the circumstances outlined in these General Conditions.

3.3 The COMPANY hereby informs the User that he or she will, via the Portal, have access to products and services provided by companies belonging to the Group, and to products and services provided by third parties, subject to availability. For these, Users shall be bound by all applicable terms and conditions issued by the respective parties. The COMPANY shall not be held responsible or liable for any of the products and services offered by the aforementioned parties.


4. Specific conditions for portal services

The Services are, as a general rule, provided to Users free-of-charge. However, payment may be required for certain Services, a fact that will be clearly stated in the General or Specific Conditions of the service in question.


5. Identification as a user of the portal

5.1 The contracting and use of certain Services provided by the COMPANY will require User identification via the identification form that appears on screen upon selecting a Service of this type. Similarly, for the contracting and use of certain services provided over the Portal by other companies within the Group, Users will need to fulfil the requirements set by the provider company in question, which will be made available to the User either on the Portal itself or on the website of the corresponding provider company. No Portal User will be able to access the products and services of said companies without having first identified themselves as a Portal User. In either case, the User will be held solely responsible for the accuracy of the information entered into the identification form.

The User will then be asked to select the Username and Password needed to use the Portal, which will be used to identify him or her as a registered user of the COMPANY or of the company within the COMPANY’s Group which is providing the Service being accessed via the Portal, for all purposes (hereinafter, “Registered User”).

The Username and Password selected by the Registered User are personal and non-transferable. The Registered User is required to notify the COMPANY or, as appropriate, the company within the COMPANY’s Group, of any possible changes to his or her personal data.

5.2 The User shall keep his Username and Password safe and secure, avoiding writing it down and, in general, taking all precautions necessary to prevent it from being disclosed to third parties. It shall be the responsibility of the Registered User to take due care to prevent third parties from accessing and/or using any Services contracted in his or her name and/or from using his or her account details. Similarly, the Registered User will be solely responsible for the selection, loss, theft or non-authorised use of any account details, and for any consequences incurred as a result. Notwithstanding the above, the Registered User must notify the COMPANY or, as appropriate, the company within the COMPANY’s Group, as soon as possible of the loss, theft or non-authorised use of their Username or Password. Notification is also required where the User suspects that any of the above has occurred. The Portal will then remove the Registered User from its databases, without disallowing said user from restarting the registration procedure on the Portal.

In either case, the Registered User shall be responsible for making proper use of the Services contracted and keeping his or her Username and Password secure, duly avoiding their unlawful and improper use beyond that established in these General Conditions and, where applicable, in the General or Specific Conditions of each Service.

5.3 The Registered User may unsubscribe as Portal User at any time and with immediate and no retrospective effect using the online Customer Service form found in the right-hand menu of the Virtual Office or at the top of the page, where they will be required to enter their user details.

5.4 Registration for the Portal by the User will imply the express and unconditional acceptance by said User of the COMPANY’s privacy and data protection policy as outlined in Section 6 below and in the legal notice found at the bottom of the Portal’s registration form.
