TEDxBCN reserves the right to interrupt access to the site, as well as the provision of any or all of the services this provides, at any time without prior notice, either for technical reasons or for reasons of security, control, maintenance, failure in the electricity supply or for any other motive.

Consequently, TEDxBCN does not guarantee the reliability, availability or continuity of its site or of its services, so users use these at their own risk and TEDxBCN may not be held responsible in this sense.

TEDxBCN will not be liable for any interruptions in services, delays, errors, malfunction of services or, in general, any other problems caused by elements beyond the control of TEDxBCN and/or due to a fraudulent action or misuse by the user and/or which is caused by an Act of God.

In any event, whatever the cause may be, TEDxBCN will accept no liability for direct or indirect damages, or loss of profits.

TEDxBCN excludes any liability for damages of any kind that may be due to lack of truth, accuracy, completeness and/or update of the services transmitted, disclosed, stored, made available or received, obtained or accessed via the site or for the services provided or offered by third parties or entities. TEDxBCN will try, as far as possible, to refresh and rectify all information hosted on the site that does not offer a minimum guarantee of truthfulness. However, TEDxBCN will be exonerated of all liability arising from not maintaining said information up to date or rectified, and will accept no responsibility for the contents or information contained therein.

Under no circumstances will TEDxBCN be liable for the results obtained via said links or for any consequences deriving from users accessing them. These third party services are provided by said third parties, so TEDxBCN cannot, and does not, check the legitimacy of these services or their quality. Consequently, users should use all possible caution in evaluating and using the information and services contained in the contents generated by third parties.

VII. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
For any disputes of interpretation or litigation that may arise, the applicable law will be Spanish Law, and all said disputes will be resolved through Legal Arbitration, within the framework of the Spanish Association of Technological Arbitration (ARBITEC). The controversy will be decided by an arbitrator who will be designated by ARBITEC, in accordance with its Regulations and Statutes.
The arbitration will be governed in accordance with the procedure established in the ARBITEC Arbitration Regulations and with the Arbitration Act, Law 60/2003, of the 23rd of December, and may be undertaken through the Internet, or using any other telemetric means. The arbitration will be held in Madrid and the working language will be Spanish.
The parties involved in the conflict will ask ARBITEC to include an express decision in their ruling, concerning the costs of arbitration; this decision shall be proportional to the consideration given by ARBITEC to the pretensions of the parties.

The parties involved in the conflict undertake to accept and comply with the award. Should it prove necessary to formalise or legally execute the award, the parties accept the Courts and Tribunals of the City of Madrid for these proceedings.

In any event, the parties maintain their right to ask the ordinary jurisdiction to take any preliminary measures they may see fit, in accordance with the Civil Procedures Act, Law 1/2000, of the 7th of January.
