Products and Services
On this Website, SILIKEN makes available to its Users free information regarding the products and services provided by the Company, as well as the opportunity to purchase the products or contract the services on offer.

The contracting of SILIKEN’s products and services shall in any event be governed by its General and Special Contracting Terms.

Intellectual and Industrial Property
On this Website, SILIKEN makes available to its Users free information regarding the products and services offered by the Company. All designs, software, trademarks, names, images, logos, graphics, icons, applications and other audiovisual and sound contents, as well as their graphic design and the Website’s source code, belong to SILIKEN or, where applicable, SILIKEN has a licence for their use, and therefore enjoy the protection provided by the applicable industrial and intellectual property legislation. Accessing the Website shall in no event imply the assignment of such rights by SILIKEN to the Users.

Website Users may only be authorised to use the Website and its contents for their private use. They may in no event use them for commercial purposes, or alter them in any way, reproduce them other than for their own private use, or distribute them or publicise them. In addition, the use of the Website contents for any purpose, or in any way, other than as permitted by SILIKEN in this Legal Notice, is strictly prohibited. The content, text, photographs, logos, designs, images, software, sounds, and generally any intellectual creation on this Website, as well as the Site itself as a whole as a multimedia artistic work, have been duly registered and are therefore protected as copyright by the intellectual property legislation.

The trademarks, trade names, distinctive signs and inventions appearing on this Website belong to SILIKEN or to third parties, and accessing the Portal may not be deemed to confer any rights over the said trademarks, trade names or distinctive signs.

Users wishing to use any of the trademarks, names, logos or other distinctive signs available on SILIKEN’s Website may request the necessary authorisation by contacting the webmaster (info@siliken.com), using the contact methods specified in this Legal Notice, who must give express authorisation.

Users of this Website undertake to respect the above mentioned rights and avoid any action which might be detrimental thereto. Any unauthorised use or copy of the design or content of the Website other than as expressly permitted by SILIKEN as owner of the industrial and intellectual rights thereto shall affect its rights and shall therefore entitle SILIKEN to bring any civil or criminal actions to which it may be entitled pursuant to its lawful intellectual and industrial property rights.

Contents sent by registered Users do not undergo editorial control.  SILIKEN therefore allows its registered Users to freely express their opinions and send photographs, news, videos and all kinds of contents through its Website. SILIKEN’s liability for such third party contents is contractually regulated by the legal terms which must be expressly accepted by registered Users in order to become registered Users.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, SILIKEN reserves the right to remove from this Website any comments, images, videos and other information or material which it deems inconvenient or offensive to third parties.

The Privacy Policy and this Legal Notice for this Website, as well as the rest of its content, have been drawn up at all times in accordance with the applicable legislation, especially the Spanish Personal Data Protection Law (Organic Law 15/1999 of 13 December 1999, Ley de Protección de Datos de Carácter Personal) and the Spanish Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (Law 34/2002 of 11 July 2002, Ley de Servicios de la Sociedad de la Información y Comercio Electrónico), as well as their subsequent developing regulations, and may be amended and reviewed at any time to adapt to any changes in the current legislation.

§        The contents provided by them to the website are provided under their sole responsibility and they shall therefore be liable for them vis-à-vis SILIKEN and third parties.

§        SILIKEN does not exercise any editorial control over such contents sent by its users, since it only provides a way for its Users to interact with each other, and therefore accepts no liability for such contents other than any which may be expressly attributed to it by the Law in its capacity as provider of web content hosting services.

§        If the contents sent by a User involve any conduct which is contrary to the law, public order or the general principles of the current legal system, none of the foregoing shall prevent the people with responsibility for the Website from reporting such conducts to the appropriate authorities as soon as they become aware of them, or from taking any legal action to which they may be entitled under the legal system in force from time to time against the User who carried them out, and the User shall be directly liable for any claims which may be brought by third parties who have been detrimentally affected by the contents furnished by him or her. In addition, SILIKEN may remove from the Website any contents constituting such conduct at the request of affected third parties or the appropriate authorities.
