4.4 On the content and services linked through the Website

The Website access service includes technical linking devices, directories and even search tools that permit the User to access other websites and internet portals (hereinafter, ‘Linked Sites’). In such cases, MELGAR acts as a intermediation service provider in conformity with Article 17 of Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce Law 34/2002, of July 12, 2002 (the “LSSI”) and will only be liable for the content and services supplied on Linked Sites to the extent that MELGAR is actually aware of their unlawfulness and has not disabled the link with due care. If the User considers that there is a Linked Site with unlawful or inappropriate content, the User may communicate this to MELGAR in accordance with the procedure and the effects established in Clause 6, although such communication will not, under any circumstances, entail any obligation to remove the link in question.

Under no circumstances must the existence of Linked Sites presuppose the existence of agreements with the owners or persons in charge of those Linked Sites, or any recommendation, promotion or identification of MELGAR with, the representations, content or services provided. The Linked Sites are provided solely for reference purposes.
Although MELGAR only provides links to websites that to the best of its knowledge meet the applicable legislation, MELGAR is not aware and does not approve of the content or services of Linked Sites and, therefore, cannot be held liable for any damage caused by the unlawfulness, quality, obsoleteness, unavailability, error or ineffectuality of the content and/or services of Linked Sites, or for any other damage that is not directly attributable to MELGAR.

We reserve the right to remove or block access to this content suspected of being illicit or detrimental to assets or rights of third parties subject to compensation and including cases in which we have effective knowledge of this, whether through court decision, administrative order or any other means.

5. Communication of illicit and inappropriate activities

If the User or any other internet user becomes aware of Linked Sites that redirect him to websites, the content or services of which are unlawful, noxious, degrading, violent or immoral, one may contact MELGAR indicating the following:

a) Personal data of the communicating party: name, address, telephone number and e-mail address;

b) Description of the facts that reveal the unlawful or inappropriate nature of the Linked Site;

c) Where rights such as intellectual or industrial property rights are infringed, the personal data of the holder of the infringed right, where the holder is not the communicating party. He must also produce an instrument that substantiates the standing of the holder of the rights and, as the case may be, his authority to act on behalf of the holder where the holder is not the communicating party;

d) An express representation that the information contained in the communication is accurate.

Receipt by MELGAR of the communication provided for in this clause will not imply, pursuant to the provisions of the LSSI, actual knowledge of the activities and/or content indicated by the communicating party.

Likewise, a certificate must be provided to demonstrate the legitimacy of the holder of the rights and, where applicable, the authority to act on behalf of the holder when it is a person other than the communicating party, as well as an express declaration that the information contained in the communication is accurate.

Access and use of the restricted access areas of the Website done under the password assigned to a User will be registered as done by said User, who will respond to all cases of access and use. The User will be permanently responsible for the custody of their password, assuming, in consequence, all the harm and damage that could arise from its wrongful use, transfer, revelation or loss.

In the case of a forgotten password, or any other circumstance that produces a risk of access and/or use by unauthorised third parties, the User should immediately communicate this with MELGAR, who will in turn immediately block and substitute it. Any operations undertaken before it is communicated will be taken as done by the holder of the password, who will be responsible, and pay for the costs and/or harm derived from any unauthorised access and/or use before said communication.
