Terms of use

Use

The use of the Website shall be free of charge unless provided otherwise in the Special Conditions. Users may have to pay to access the corresponding telecommunications network.

Users are aware and voluntarily and expressly accept that they use the Website in all cases under their sole and exclusive responsibility.

Users undertake not to engage in any conduct when using the Website that could harm the image, interests or rights of Alarde or of third parties, or that could damage, disable or overload the Website, or that could in any way impede the normal use of the Website.

Alarde implements reasonably appropriate security measures to identify the existence of viruses. Notwithstanding this, Users must be aware that the security measures for Internet-based computer systems are not completely reliable and that Alarde cannot therefore guarantee the non-existence of viruses or other elements that could cause alterations to Users’ computer systems (software and hardware) or electronic documents and the files contained in them.

Content

The Website content made available to Users includes information from Alarde's own sources and those of third parties.

Alarde makes reasonable efforts to ensure that the Website’s content is complete, accurate and up to date; however, it does not guarantee that it is useful, accurate, complete, relevant or up to date.

The inclusion of content on the Website in no way constitutes the provision of legal advice. Users acknowledge that insofar as the application of the law to specific cases is not automatic but rather varies depending on a very wide range of circumstances, decisions should not be taken based solely on the Website’s content. Therefore, the information in the Website’s content cannot be considered an alternative to legal advice, and Alarde advises Users not to take decisions based on that information without obtaining suitable professional advice

Intellectual and industrial property rights

These General Conditions do not assign any intellectual or industrial property rights over the Website or over any of its elements. Users are strictly prohibited from reproducing, transforming, distributing, communicating to the public, publishing, extracting, reusing, forwarding or using in any way, by any means or procedure, any element of the Website, except as legally permitted or as authorised by the holder of the corresponding rights.

Users may view and obtain temporary private copies of the content for their exclusive personal and private use on their computer systems (software and hardware), provided that the purpose thereof is not to carry out activities of a commercial or professional nature. Users must refrain from obtaining or attempting to obtain the content via means or procedures other than those which have been made available to them or indicated for such purpose or which are commonly used on the Internet (provided that the latter do not entail a risk of harming or disabling the Website). Users must at all times respect all the intellectual and industrial property rights existing over the Website, whether held by Alarde or by third parties.

a) Hyperlinks
Users and, in general, any legal or natural person intending to provide a hyperlink or technical link device (e.g. text links or buttons) from their website to the Website (a “Hyperlink”) must obtain prior written authorisation from Alarde.

The creation of a Hyperlink in no case implies the existence of any relationship between Alarde and the owner of the website or web page where the Hyperlink is created, or the acceptance or approval by Alarde of its content or services.

In any event, Alarde reserves the right to prohibit or disable at any time any Hyperlink to the Website, particularly in circumstances involving unlawful activity or content on the website where the Hyperlink has been inserted.

b)Linked Sites
The Website makes available to Users, solely for searching and accessing information, content and services that are available on the Internet, hyperlinks or technical link devices (e.g. text links or buttons) that enable Users to access Internet sites or portals belonging to or managed by third parties (“Linked Sites”).

Alarde does not offer or market, on its own behalf or on behalf of third parties, the information, content and services available on Linked Sites. Nor does it approve, supervise or control in any way the content and services or any material of any nature existing on Linked Sites. Users assume entire and exclusive responsibility for browsing Linked Sites.
