4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The owner of the content and elements that make up this Website is Ihobe, and therefore it holds the intellectual and industrial property rights over it, particularly all source codes, texts, images, design, logos, software, animations, databases, trademarks, trade names or distinctive signs, sounds and other graphic or sound elements on the Website pages. This list is not exhaustive but illustrative, and these elements are duly protected in accordance with Spanish and international Intellectual and Industrial Property regulations.

The user undertakes to use the content diligently and correctly, in accordance with the law, morality and public order. Ihobe authorizes users to view the information contained on this website, as well as to make private reproductions (simple downloading and storage on their computer systems), provided that the elements are intended solely for personal use. Use for journalistic purposes is also authorized, provided that in both cases the integrity of the content is respected and the original source is identified as this Website belonging to Ihobe.

Any use of the Website content outside the purposes expressly established in the previous paragraph is prohibited, and specifically any biased or contrary use to its nature. Its distribution, modification, transfer to third parties, reproduction, transformation or public communication by any means or technology is prohibited. Prior and express consent from Ihobe may be required, and any action contrary to this text constitutes a violation of industrial and intellectual property rights regulations.

Ihobe reserves the right to take any legal action necessary to defend its rights.

Regarding user-generated content:

Any literary, artistic, scientific, technical or other type of information or opinion disseminated through articles, drawings, videos, photographs or any other text or audiovisual content in any medium or format is protected by intellectual or industrial property rights.
Sending such content implies that you have the sender’s authorization for us to use it on this website or on our social media profiles. The authorship rights of such content belong to its author, who guarantees this.
However, sending or publishing content on this website or our social networks implies the assignment of reproduction and public communication rights over it, while the author retains the right to exploit it in any way that does not hinder its normal publication by us in the aforementioned media. Therefore, the sender grants us a non-exclusive, free, unlimited-duration, worldwide, sublicensable right to reproduce, distribute, translate, publish and fully or partially disseminate such content in any medium currently known or developed in the future, for any purpose. We may use such content to report on the event/activity, document it, include it in its audiovisual archive, and use it in brochures, posters, printed materials and promotional signage, etc.
The sender guarantees ownership or that they have all necessary rights, capacity and/or permissions, authorizations and consents to use and license such content, and that it does not infringe any third-party rights, including personal data protection rights or any industrial or intellectual property rights. The sender shall be solely responsible for any third-party claims, including from Public Administrations, regarding such content, as well as for any damages that may be claimed from us. We are entitled to exercise any legal actions to defend our rights, and any liability we must assume, including financial, will be passed on to the sender.

5. SECURITY

We have adopted reasonably adequate security measures on this website to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information containing personal data. However, the user must be aware that security measures of computer systems on the Internet are not entirely reliable, and therefore we cannot guarantee the absence of viruses or other elements that may cause alterations in the user’s computer systems (software and hardware) or in their electronic documents and files.

HTTPS (SSL) Protocol: We use the HTTPS (SSL) protocol on this website to establish a secure communication channel between the server and the user for sending personal data. Providing this service through a secure server ensures the confidentiality of the information exchanged between the user’s computer and the server, as an encrypted connection is established using the SSL protocol, preventing third parties from accessing the information sent.
Paid events and Ekoetxeak: For events requiring payment, the transaction will be carried out through this website, directing the user to the corresponding purchase and payment button. The HTTPS (SSL) protocol is used to establish a secure communication channel between the server and the user for sending personal data. Providing this service through a secure server ensures the confidentiality of the information exchanged between the user’s computer and the server, as an encrypted connection is established using the SSL protocol, preventing third parties from accessing the information sent. We recommend consulting the legal notice and the security measures implemented on their servers.
Payment gateway: If “payment gateway” services are used, for example, when purchasing paid experiences or events, or making an online commercial transaction, no data linking the identification of the payment method with the identity of its holder will be stored, unless necessary for legitimate purposes. In any case, payment information is encrypted and only the last four digits of the credit card can be viewed, and only by the cardholder.

Own and third-party links and hyperlinks

Websites owned by Ihobe may provide links or access to other internal resources (sites on the web) or websites within Ihobe’s own domain and/or third-party websites that we consider may be of interest to you or necessary for the provision of certain services on our websites, but in no case are such websites controlled by us.

The purpose of such links may be to facilitate the search for resources that may interest you on the Internet or to manage certain services on our website, such as:

The possibility of registering for an event or activity promoted by Ihobe.
Subscription to Ihobe’s newsletters of interest.

Information on publications, communications, events, etc., through third-party websites.

However, these websites do not belong to Ihobe, nor does Ihobe review their content, the services available or unavailable on such sites, the functioning of the linked page, the use and processing of data they may carry out, nor any possible infringements or damages that may arise from accessing or using them. The existence of a link does not necessarily imply any relationship between Ihobe and the owners of such content or the websites where they are located.

Therefore, Ihobe assumes no responsibility regarding linked sites, nor for their functioning, content, services or possible links contained therein.

We strongly recommend reading the corresponding Legal Notices and especially the Privacy Policies of such pages before entering your personal data, and in case of doubt, we recommend contacting those sites directly for more information about their privacy policies.

The website on which the hyperlink is established shall not contain any logo, icon, trademark, trade name, establishment sign, name, slogan or other distinctive signs belonging to Ihobe, unless expressly authorized.
In any case, establishing the “hyperlink” shall not imply the existence of any relationship between Ihobe and the owner of the website or portal from which it is created, nor the knowledge and acceptance of such hyperlink by Ihobe. Ihobe shall not be responsible for the content or services made available to the public on the website or portal from which the “hyperlink” is created, nor for the information and statements included therein.
The website on which the hyperlink is established shall not contain unlawful information or content, contrary to morality and generally accepted good customs and public order, nor content contrary to any third-party rights.

The affected person shall be responsible for any damages caused to Ihobe or others due to late notification.

Ihobe shall not be responsible for incidents related to personal data when they arise from an attack or unauthorized access to systems in such a way that detection is impossible due to implemented security measures, or when they result from the registered user’s lack of diligence in safeguarding their access credentials or personal data.
