Any User, when placing Content, represents and warrants that it is in possession of the licenses, rights, consent, and permits necessary in order to make public such Content, and that such Content does not infringe any Applicable Law, or any kind of commercial secret, patent, trademarks, or any other third-party rights, and that the User is authorized to proceed directly to the reproduction and public communication (including interactive public communication via the internet) of such Content.

3. A User accepts that where anyone files a claim against Paclab in connection with or in relation to Content uploaded or published by a User, the said User shall be liable for all damages, and indemnify and hold harmless Paclab in respect of any losses, harm, or expenses of any kind (including all reasonable lawyers’ costs and fees) that may arise as a result of the said claim. 

4. In the event that Paclab concludes, in its sole discretion, that any User has placed presentations, comments or contributions to the Platform that are not in accordance with these Terms of Use and/or Applicable Law, for example, in the event that the use of said Content has not been authorized or a comment is inappropriate, Paclab reserves the right to block the User’s account and/or delete or modify the Content of this User. 

Article 7. Limitation of Liability 

1.

2. Paclab shall implement the pertinent technological measures to ensure the proper functioning of the Platform. However, Paclab expressly declines any liability, and this is expressly accepted by the User, for any possible losses of any kind that may derive from the following, including but not limited to: the lack of availability or interruption to the functioning of the Platform, as well as the loss of data and Contents belonging to a User caused by technical errors, faults in the server and/or attacks by hackers, or from typographical errors or inaccuracies, or any errors or omissions in the contents or in the transfer of viruses, programs, or files sourced from third parties. 

3. Use of the Website and Platform is at the own risk of the User. Any User accepts that it is solely responsible for any possible harm or data losses that may arise on the User’s computer system as a result of the programs installed on their computer and the server they use. 

4. The Website and Platform may contain links or hyperlinks that allow access to websites or portals belonging to and/or administered by third parties, which are not owned by Paclab and over which it has no control. Therefore, Paclab does not have and does not accept any responsibility, whether directly or vicariously, for the said websites or portals. In the event that a User decides to visit the said websites or portals, the User does so at its own and exclusive risk and responsibility. A User is therefore solely responsible for compliance with possible legal conditions and the privacy policies of the third-party websites or portals which they access from Website or Platform, and releases Paclab from any liability for losses of any kind that may derive from the use of third-party websites or portals.
