2. Purpose and scope

The Website is corporate and informative in nature and provides information about SCALA, its professionals, areas of expertise and professional activity.

Legal services are not contracted or provided through the Website. Any professional engagement of SCALA requires the express acceptance of the corresponding instruction and is carried out in accordance with the terms agreed with the client.

Access to and use of the Website are governed by these terms, which are available for consultation on this page. Access to the Website confers the status of user and implies acceptance of the terms in force at any given time. If the user does not agree with their content, they must refrain from using the Website.

3. Nature of the information published

The information available on the Website is for information purposes only. Its content does not constitute legal, regulatory, tax or any other kind of professional advice, nor does it replace the individual examination of the circumstances of each matter.

SCALA endeavours to ensure that the information published is accurate and reasonably up to date. However, legal provisions, case law, administrative doctrine and the criteria of regulatory or supervisory authorities may change. Likewise, the interpretation and application of the law depend on the particular features of each situation.

Consequently, SCALA does not guarantee that the information published is at all times complete, accurate or up to date. Its content should not be used as the sole basis for taking legal, economic or business decisions without the corresponding professional advice.

4. Enquiries and professional engagements

Accessing the Website, consulting its contents or contacting SCALA do not, in themselves, imply the acceptance of a professional engagement or the establishment of a professional relationship.

The provision of legal services requires the formalisation of the corresponding professional engagement between SCALA and the client.

5. Terms of use

The user must make lawful and diligent use of the Website, respecting the rights of SCALA and of third parties, these terms and the requirements of good faith.

It is not permitted to carry out actions that may alter the ordinary operation of the Website, compromise the security of its systems, hinder its availability or affect the integrity of the information it contains. This prohibition includes, among other conduct, the introduction of malicious programs or code, attempts to access restricted resources and any use for unlawful or fraudulent purposes.

The user shall be liable, under the terms established by the applicable legislation, for any damage arising from actions attributable to them that contravene these terms or infringe the rights of SCALA or of third parties.

6. Intellectual and industrial property

SCALA holds the intellectual and industrial property rights to which it is entitled over the Website and its contents, or has the necessary authorisations for their use. The protected elements include, under the terms provided for by the applicable legislation, the texts, descriptions, publications and other contents, as well as the images, audiovisual resources, design, structure and organisation of the Website, the graphic identity, the names and the distinctive signs of the firm.

Access to the Website and consultation of its contents do not confer on the user any exploitation rights over such elements. Their reproduction, transformation, distribution, public communication, inclusion in third-party publications, websites or platforms, as well as any other form of exploitation or use reserved to the holders of the corresponding rights, shall require their prior authorisation, without prejudice to the limits and exceptions established by law.

7. Links and third-party content

The Website may contain references or links to pages and digital resources not belonging to SCALA. Their inclusion is for information purposes and does not, in itself, imply that SCALA participates in their management, shares their contents or has any relationship with their owners.

The contents, services, terms of use and privacy policies of the linked pages are the responsibility of their respective owners. SCALA does not guarantee their accuracy, currency, availability or lawfulness, without prejudice to any liability it may incur under the applicable legislation.

Should SCALA obtain actual knowledge that a link provides access to unlawful content or content that infringes the rights of third parties, it shall act with the diligence required by law and, where appropriate, remove or disable the link, in accordance with Article 17 of Spanish Law 34/2002 of 11 July on information society services and electronic commerce.

Links established by third parties to the Website may not be presented in a way that misleads as to the identity of SCALA, attributes to the firm a non-existent participation or endorsement, or allows its contents or distinctive signs to be used in breach of the rights of their owners.

8. Availability, security and liability

SCALA applies reasonable measures to preserve the security and operation of the Website. However, the characteristics of services provided over the Internet make it impossible to guarantee their permanent availability or the complete absence of errors, technical incidents or potentially harmful elements.

Within the limits established by the applicable legislation, SCALA shall not be liable for damage arising from incidents beyond its control, from improper use of the Website by third parties or from decisions taken without professional advice on the sole basis of the information published.

The foregoing provisions do not exclude or restrict any liability that SCALA must assume by operation of law.
