ELECTRONIC CONTRACTING OF SERVICES

  1. PRIOR INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO ELECTRONIC CONTRACTING

In accordance with the provisions of article 23 et seq. of Law 34/2002 on information society services and electronic commerce, contracts entered into electronically shall produce all the effects provided for by the legal system, provided that the consent of both parties is given and can be accredited.

For these purposes, it shall be understood that the completion of all the phases of the registration process and, where applicable, the payment of the corresponding economic amount necessarily implies the provision of the express consent required for the contracting of the service.

Likewise, and in accordance with the provisions of article 27 of Law 34/2002 on information society services and electronic commerce, all the information relating to the contracting procedure is made available to users prior to the start of the contracting procedure.

The contracting conditions indicated below are directly applicable to the contracting of all the services made available through the web portal https://rentacarsalgar.com, unless expressly stated otherwise.

CONTRACTING PROCEDURE

The contracting procedure of the services is carried out completely electronically through our platform, without the physical presence of the parties and/or external physical transaction at any time.

Any person with Internet access can carry out the contracting procedure.

The phases of the contracting procedure are visible to users throughout the entire contracting procedure. Three phases can be distinguished:

  • Identification of the user.
  • Selection of the service and method of payment.
  • Confirmation of the service.

The user only has to select the service he/she wishes to purchase and click on the purchase button provided for this purpose. This will start the contracting procedure, which will always follow the steps indicated above for all the services available.

Once the service, quantity, applicable taxes, total price and means of payment have been selected, the platform will show the user a summary of the contracting process, together with the applicable contracting conditions, which in any case must be expressly accepted by the user in order to continue with the contracting process.

Once the box for acceptance of the contracting conditions has been ticked, if any of the electronic means of payment has been selected, the user will be directly redirected to the corresponding external payment platform to make the payment, without https://rentacarsalgar.com being able to access the user’s credit card and/or payment system data at any time.

The security of the payment procedure is guaranteed by the financial institution.

Once the contracting of the service has been completed, a summary screen of the contracting process will be displayed.

If payment by credit card has been selected, this will be carried out through the bank’s POS, a platform that is completely unrelated and independent of the provider.

Within a maximum period of 24 hours, the service contracting party will receive an e-mail containing all the information relating to the contracted service. This document is the confirmation that the contract has been successfully completed, being valid as a means of accreditation for any type of claim, as long as the corresponding proof of payment is attached.

The provider informs the user that all contracts made will be recorded in a file for the control and management of contracts, in which will be reflected along with the information of the contracted services, additional information to ensure the security and evidence of the correct completion of the procedure.

USER OBLIGATIONS

The user undertakes, during the term of this contract, to:

  • Not to use the platform or any of the elements that comprise it to develop timesharing operations, to become a provider of software application services to the extent that they are aimed at enabling third parties to access the platform or any of its components, through rental operations, administrative services or any other similar services, sharing them or making them available to third parties.
  • Not to subject the platform or any of its elements to activities aimed, directly or indirectly, at the decompilation of its software, which imply its subjection to operations of an inverse nature to those that determined its construction or which, ultimately, constitute or may constitute operations of inverse engineering, decompilation or disassembly. None of the sections of this contract may be understood as authorising access to the platform’s source code.

  • Not to carry out acts of reverse engineering, taking of requirements and other activities aimed at developing an online platform identical or similar to the one made available by https://rentacarsalgar.com, this activity being considered an act of unfair competition and infringement of the intellectual and industrial property rights that the provider holds over the platform.
  • Not to translate, adapt, improve, transform, modify or correct the platform or any of the elements that comprise it, and may not incorporate it into other software or portals of their own or provided by third parties.

WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES

We are deeply committed to ensuring that our services function correctly and in accordance with the conditions agreed with our users. However, it is sometimes possible that situations may arise, especially due to the intervention of ill-intentioned third parties, which could give rise to liability.

In this sense, we indicate below those situations in which we are not responsible for the actions of the users, and they assume all the responsibilities derived from them:

  • In the event that information is published on the platform that has not been hosted by us or that has been published by a third party outside the organisation.
  • In the event that the platform is not operational for technical reasons attributable to third parties or unforeseeable causes and/or force majeure.
  • In the event that the user or any third party stores, disseminates, publishes or distributes on the platform any type of defamatory, libellous, discriminatory material that incites violence or that goes against morality, public order, fundamental rights, public freedoms, honour, privacy or the image of third parties.
  • In the event that the user or any third party uses the platform to introduce data, viruses, malicious code, hardware or any other electronic or physical instrument or device, and damage is caused to the systems of other users.

The services made available and marketed through https://rentacarsalgar.com are provided by third party companies that are completely independent of the provider. Therefore, https://rentacarsalgar.com shall not be held liable in the event of occasional failures in the continuity of the service or, where applicable, in the occasional lack of availability of the same.

In the event that the services contracted by the user are not available for a period of more than 72 hours from the time of notification of the incident, the user is entitled to request the provider to terminate this contract and return the economic amounts corresponding to the services not enjoyed, which will be duly refunded through the same means by which the initial payment was made or, where appropriate, by bank transfer.

In the event that any of the content accessible through the platform is contrary to current regulations, we undertake to immediately remove it as soon as we become aware of and corroborate the facts.

INTELLECTUAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

At https://rentacarsalgar.com we are deeply committed to the protection of intellectual property rights. That is why we have established the following conditions and policies:

  1. RELATING TO THE ONLINE PLATFORM

The provider guarantees the user that it is the legitimate owner of the platform and that it is not involved in any type of legal dispute prior to the signing of this contract.

The user expressly acknowledges that the provider holds all right, title and interest in the platform and the IT developments associated with the service, as well as in all its modules, modifications and updates and in any element and/or functionality developed on the same, regardless of whether or not this has been requested by the user. For these purposes, it is included without limitation, the recognition of the ownership of the provider of all copyrights, intellectual and/or industrial property, being able to exploit the platform, without any restriction of a temporal or territorial nature, related to means of dissemination or modalities of exploitation and without any limitations other than those established by law.

The structure, characteristics, codes, working methods, information and exchange systems, development tools, know-how, methodologies, processes, technologies or algorithms that constitute and/or may constitute the platform are the exclusive property of the provider, and are duly protected by national and international intellectual and/or industrial property laws, and may not be subject to subsequent modification, copying, alteration, reproduction, adaptation or translation by the user, without the prior express consent of the provider.

Similarly, all user manuals, texts, graphic drawings, databases, which complement the platform and/or the materials associated with it, are the property of the provider, and may not be subject to subsequent modification, copying, alteration, reproduction, adaptation or translation by the user.

The provision of the platform in service mode or mere access by the user does not imply, in any case, the transfer of ownership, nor the granting of a right of use in favour of the user other than that expressed in these conditions.

In order for the user to be able to use the platform, which is the exclusive property of the provider, the latter hereby grants the user a non-exclusive licence of use, limited in time to each connection period, unlimited in space insofar as it can be accessed from any computer with Internet access, non-transferable, revocable and non-sublicensable.

In any case, any type of reproduction, imitation, transmission, translation, modification, elaboration of a derivative work and/or public communication is absolutely prohibited, regardless of the means used to do so, with the infringing user assuming all direct or derived responsibilities that may arise.

For any aspect that is not expressly recognised in this contract, all rights shall be understood to be reserved in favour of the provider, with the latter’s written authorisation being necessary in order to carry it out.

  1. RELATING TO THE CONTENTS AND INFORMATION OF USERS

All content and information published or managed by users on the platform are the exclusive property of the latter, https://rentacarsalgar.com being a mere provider of information society services responsible for data storage.

The provider does not receive any type of intellectual property right for the fact that the user hosts or manages them on its platform, and therefore under no circumstances may it process them for purposes other than those directly related to the provision of the services effectively contracted.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND DATA PROTECTION

In accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, all personal data provided during the use of the platform and during the provision of services will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Policy, which all users must expressly and previously accept in order to register.
