4. Disclaimer of liability
4.1. For information.
Access to the Portal does not imply any obligation on G-advisory to verify the truthfulness, accuracy, appropriateness, fitness, exhaustiveness or currency of the information supplied through the Portal. Since the Content is of a general nature and does not in any way constitute the provision of a tax or legal advisory service of any kind, such information is insufficient for User to make personal or business decisions.
G-advisory is not liable for decisions made on the basis of the information supplied on the Portal, or for any damage or loss to User or to third parties by reason of actions taken that were solely based on information obtained on the Portal.
4.2. For service quality.
Access to the Portal does not imply any obligation on G-advisory to control the absence of viruses, worms or any other malicious software. User is responsible in all cases for having available adequate tools for detecting and disinfecting malicious software.
G-advisory is not liable for any damage to the hardware of Users or of third parties during the provision of the Portal service.
4.3. For service availability.
Access to the Portal requires services and supplies from third parties, including transmission through telecommunications networks, the reliability, quality, continuity and functioning of which are not the responsibility of G-advisory. Accordingly, services provided through the Portal may be suspended, cancelled or blocked, prior or simultaneous to the provision of the Portal service.
G-advisory cannot be held liable for loss or damage of any kind to User as a result of telecommunications network failures or disconnections that cause the suspension, cancellation or interruption of the Portal service before or while it is being provided.
4.4. For content and services linked through the Portal.
The Portal access service includes technical linking devices, directories and even search tools that permit User to access other websites and Internet portals (‘Linked Sites’). In such cases, G-advisory 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 G-advisory is actually aware of their unlawfulness and has not disabled the link with due care. If User considers that there is a Linked Site with unlawful or inappropriate content, User may communicate this to G-advisory 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 or promotion by G-advisory of, or the identification of G-advisory with, the representations, content or services provided.
G-advisory is not aware 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 G-advisory.

- 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;
- An express representation that the information contained in the communication is accurate.
Receipt by G-advisory 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.
