Intellectual property rights

a) As regards the content generated by Fundación Athletic Club

Fundación Athletic Club is the owner of the content and elements that make up this website; it therefore owns its intellectual property and, in particular, all the source codes, texts, images, design, logos, computer programs, animations, databases, brands, trademarks or distinguishing signs, sounds and other sound or graphic elements of the website pages.  This list is not exhaustive and is given by way of example and those elements are duly protected pursuant to international and Spanish industrial and intellectual property legislation.

The user is required to use the content diligently and correctly, in accordance with the law, moral and public order. Fundación Athletic Club authorises the users to display the information that is contained in this website, along with making private copies (merely downloading and storing in their computer systems), provided that the elements are only for personal use. Their use is also authorised exclusively for media purposes, provided that, in both cases, its integrity is respected and that this website belonging to Fundación Athletic Club is identified as the original source.

The use of the content of the website is forbidden, except for the purposes expressly established in the above paragraph; any type of biased use and counter to its nature is expressly forbidden. Its distribution, modification, assignment to third parties, along with the reproduction, transformation or public disclosure, by any means and technology, are forbidden. The prior and express consent of Fundación Athletic Club can be required to do so; any action contrary to this text will be a legal breach of intellectual and industrial property rights.

Fundación Athletic Club hereby reserves the right to take the appropriate legal actions to defend its rights.

b) As regards the content generated by the users:

If you send us any type of protectable audiovisual content (video, photographs, text content…) to take part in any event, activity, promotion or competition organised by Fundación Athletic Club, please take into account that:

• Any literary, artistic, scientific or technical information or opinion or of any other type, disseminated through articles, drawings, videos, photographs or any other audiovisual or text content on any type of medium can be protected by intellectual property rights.
• Submitting that content means that you have the authorisation of the submitter for its use by us on this website or on our social media profiles. The copyright of that content is held by its author, who guarantees the holding of those rights.
• However, the fact of sending us or publishing the content on this website or on our social media means the transfer of its public communication and reproduction rights; the author keeps their right to exploit them in any form that does not prejudice the normal publication by us in the aforementioned media. Therefore, the submitter assigns to us on a non-exclusive basis, free of charge for an indefinite period and worldwide, the sub-licensable right to the reproduction, distribution, translation, publication and total or partial dissemination of that content on any medium currently known or developed in the future, for any purpose. We will be able to use that content to provide information on the event/activity, document it, be part of its audiovisual report, including its use in advertising brochures, posters, stationery and promotional signage, etc.
• The submitter guarantees that they hold or that they have, and are able to duly so accredit, all the rights, capacity and/or permissions, authorisations and consent needed to use and license that content, and that they do not infringe any third-party right, including rights to personal data protection, along with any intellectual property right. The submitter shall be solely liable regarding third-party claims, including the Public Administration, regarding that content, and for any damages and losses that may be sought from us, empowering us to exercise the legally envisaged actions to defend our rights so that any liability that we had to face, even financial, will be passed on by us to the submitter.

Security

We use the HTTPS (SSL) protocol on this website to establish a secure communication channel between the server and the user to send their personal data. Providing this service through a secure server guarantees the confidentiality of the information exchanged between the user’s computer and that server, as an encrypted connection is established, using the SSL protocol, which makes it impossible for third parties to access the information sent.

b) Third-party links and hyperlinks

The Fundación Athletic Club websites may facilitate the link or access to other resources or third-party websites, which we consider to be of interest or are necessary to provide some of the services of our websites, but under no case are those websites controlled by us.

The aim of those links may be to facilitate the search of the resources that may be of interest to you through Internet or to manage certain services of our website, such as processing, payment and billing the purchases at our online store.

However, those pages do not belong to Fundación Athletic Club, nor does it review their content or services that appear and/or are available on those websites, or the operating of the linked page, or their use and processing of data, or any breaches that, as applicable, may occur or the possible damage that may arise from accessing or using it. The existence of the link does not imply any relationship between the organisation and the persons or entities that are the owners of that content or of the sites where they are found.

Therefore, Fundación Athletic Club accepts no liability regarding the linked sites and cannot be held liable for their functioning, the content and services hosted in them or the possible links in turn contained in those linked websites.

We strongly recommend reading the relevant Legal Notices and, most particularly, the Privacy Policies of those websites before entering your personal data there. If you are unsure, we recommend that you directly contact those sites to obtain further information on their privacy policies.

If you as the user become aware of any illegality or inadequacy of the content, services or any other activities developed through a linked site, you should immediately notify Fundación Athletic Club so that it can adopt, as applicable, the measures that it deems appropriate.

c) Hyperlinks to this website from third-party sites.

Whenever a person or entity wishes to create a hyperlink from another website to this, they must comply with the following terms and conditions:

• Both the presentation of a page of the Fundación Athletic Club website that does not belong to the latter (using the technique known as “framing” or any other with the same or similar effects), and the insertion of any type of content disseminated by means of Fundación Athletic Club on another website different to this one, by means of the technique known as “inline linking”, or any other with the same or similar effects, without the express consent of the organisation.
• The website in which it is established will not contain any logo, icon, brand, commercial name, establishment name, company name, slogan or other distinguishing signs belonging to Fundación Athletic Club, without the express authorisation of the latter.
• In any event, the establishing of the “hyperlink” will not imply the existence of relationships between Fundación Athletic Club and the owner of the website or of the Portal from which it is established, or knowledge and acceptance by them of that hyperlink. Fundación Athletic Club shall not be liable for the content or services made available to the general public on the website or portal from which the “hyperlink” is established or for the information and statements included therein.
• The website where the hyperlink is established must not contain illegal information or content, contrary to morality and to generally accepted good conduct, to public order, and must not contain content contrary to any third-party rights.
• Any “hyperlink” to Fundación Athletic Club will be made to the home page or the main pages of the sections.

Advertising

The website, along with any subdomains, microsites and/or subsections contained in it, or mobile applications belonging to Fundación Athletic Club may host advertising content or be sponsored. The advertisers and sponsors are solely responsible for ensuring that the material sent to be included on the website complies with the legislation and content that may be applicable in each case. The website owner shall not be liable for any error, inaccuracy or irregularity that may exist in the advertising content or of the sponsors, or offence to sensibilities that it may cause.

Commercial communications and advertising content

Fundación Athletic Club hereby informs the users of this website that, in the case of having a prior contractual relationship, we will send them information on our activities, products and/or services (including using electronic communications), based on our legitimate interest. If you do not want to receive this type of information, please send us an email in that regard to [email protected], and we will not do so.

The withdrawal of your consent to be sent this type of communications does not condition the processing of your data for the other purposes described in the privacy policy. If you are not a customer, we will only send you this type of commercial and/or advertising communications by electronic means if you so authorise us by clicking the option that is expressly included for that purpose on our website.

Passwords and private area

In those cases where an identifier and/or password are sent to access certain services, private zone, intranet, etc., you as the user must keep them under your own responsibility in the strictest and total confidentiality and secrecy. You must take any necessary steps to ensure they are kept and used safely, and are expressly forbidden from giving them to third parties. You as the user are liable for any harmful consequences that may occur both for the website owner and for other internet users. In the case of theft, loss or unauthorised use/access of the identifier and/or password, the person in question must immediately inform Fundación Athletic Club so that the appropriate measures are adopted; that individual will be liable for any damages incurred both by Fundación Athletic Club and other persons as the result of late notification.

Under no circumstances shall Fundación Athletic Club be liable for any incidents that may occur regarding the personal data when they occur either from hacking or unauthorised access to the systems in such a way that it is impossible for that to be detected by the implemented security measures, or when it is due to a lack of diligence of the registered user as regards the safekeeping of their passwords or of their own personal details.

You need to be registered in order to access the private area of this website; you will therefore be asked for the necessary and basic information to create your profile in the private area. Once you have completed the registration form, we will be able to check your identity to activate your profile.

Social Media

Our websites and mobile applications have connectors to different social media networks. When you as the user chose to interact with a social media network, your activity on our websites or through our mobile applications will also be made available to the social media with which you are interacting. Data can be gathered through cookies to allow its proper functioning, which can be your IP address or which page you are visiting on our websites.

If you start a session in one of those social media during your visit to one of our websites or mobile applications, the social media may add that information to their profile and that information will be transferred to the social media. If you do not want that data transfer to occur, you will have to log out of your social media session before entering our website, as it is not in our power to influence that data gathering and transfer through the social connectors.

The social media are not directly hosted in our Services. The interactions of the users with them are governed by their policies and not by ours. We recommend you read the Privacy Policies of those social media to obtain detailed information about the gathering and transfer of your personal data, your rights and your privacy settings.

Applicable legislation, jurisdiction and competence

Spanish legislation and jurisdiction shall be applicable and the competent courts and tribunals shall be those of Bilbao in the case of any conflict or dispute regarding the interpretation of these terms and conditions, and regarding any point relating to the services of this website.
