The user undertakes to use the App and the tools provided therein in accordance with the provisions established by the legislation and regulations in force, good faith, public order and generally accepted customs and practices.

The user is expressly obliged to make proper use of the App and its contents, in accordance with the possibilities and services being offered, as well as with the purposes for which said contents have been designed.

Likewise, the user is obliged not to use the App, its contents and/or the dissemination tools that it makes available for illicit or illegal purposes, contrary to current regulations, and/or in any way detrimental to the rights and/or interests of the Company or third parties, whether individuals or legal entities.

Likewise, the user undertakes not to cause any damage or deterioration to the software, tools and/or contents that constitute the basis of the App, and not to prevent its normal operation.

The Company will not assume any liability, either directly or indirectly, derived from the non-compliance of these obligations by the users.

4.2 User responsibility

Each user shall be solely and exclusively responsible for the use of the tools made available through the App.

The user will be solely responsible for the use of the App for illicit, illegal, non-authorised purposes or contrary to the regulations in force, whether for economic purposes or not.

The user shall in all cases assume, solely and exclusively, any kind of responsibility that may arise as a result of non-compliance with these General Conditions of Use and the Specific Conditions of Use that may eventually be published, as well as, in general, any user behaviour that is contrary to the legislation and regulations in force, good faith, public order and generally accepted uses and customs.

Those responsible for the App are excluded from any type of responsibility, whether direct or indirect, for any damage or harm caused to the user or a third party, which is caused by the misuse, intentional or not, by the user of the contents, tools and services made available through the App, or by the user's failure to comply with these General Conditions of Use.

4.3 Third party liability

The App may temporarily or permanently host links, hyperlinks or similar technologies (hereinafter, and in a generic manner, links) that redirect the user to other pages or websites and/or redirects the user to advertising spaces managed by third parties.

In the event that such links exist, their sole purpose shall be to facilitate and allow the user to access content and/or services that may be of interest to him/her which, in any case, shall be managed by third parties and not by the App.

The Company does not conduct any prior control nor does it approve, authorise, supervise or own the contents, services and any other information provided by third parties that may hosted in the links available in the App.

Thus, the owners of the destination pages or websites of the links shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the content hosted therein complies with all applicable legal requirements, and users accessing the pages or websites to which such links are directed shall be solely responsible for the legal relations of any kind they may establish with the third parties responsible for the destination pages or websites.

In the event that such legal relations exist, they will be understood to have been made in any case between the user and the third party and, therefore, in an external environment and not related to the Company, the user assuming under his exclusive and unique responsibility the damages that could be caused as a consequence of the use made of the linked pages or web sites.

The Company does not assume any responsibility, either direct or indirect, derived from the connections which could be made through the links or from the contents to which they lead, nor does it guarantee the technical availability, legality, veracity, usefulness, quality, reliability, accuracy, correction or morality of the contents, information or services accessed through these links, as long as they are not directly managed or controlled by the Company.

The inclusion of links and external connections does not imply, in any case, unless expressly indicated otherwise, the existence of an association, relationship or participation of the Company with the entities or third parties connected.

4.4 Limitation of Company responsibility
