5. Exemption from liability

The user is informed that some of the transport tickets purchased through this website are associated with the provision of additional or complementary activities or services such as guided tours or undertaking certain recreational, leisure or cultural activities.

Therefore, they should be aware that TMB will market through this website services provided by third parties, in this case, specialised suppliers. The contractual relationship between the customer and TMB and the responsibility assumed by the latter will be limited solely and exclusively to the marketing and sale of these tickets. In this way, TMB does not assume responsibility for the correct provision of these supplementary services offered by suppliers.

Thus, in relation to these services, the customer must contact the companies that provide these services directly, through the means of contact provided by these providers. TMB will be solely and exclusively responsible for the correct provision of transport and passenger transfer services in relation to the tickets purchased.

On the other hand, TMB cannot control the use made by users of the website www.holabarcelona.com and its contents, and therefore is not responsible for damages of any nature that may derive from an illicit, incorrect, inadequate or partial use and the breach by the user of these conditions of access and use, as well as any other condition that may be found on this website with respect to any of its services, without prejudice, in any case, to the legal actions that may correspond to TMB or third parties.

TMB cannot guarantee the permanent availability and continuity in terms of the functioning of the website or the information, content, software, materials or products included therein.

Therefore, all liability is excluded for damages of any kind arising from the lack of availability or continuous functioning of the website, its services and the use that users can make of it.

Notwithstanding the above, TMB will make every possible effort to maintain the continuous availability of this website.

Similarly, TMB will not take responsibility for potential errors or security deficiencies that may arise through the use, by a user, of a browser that is not updated or is otherwise insecure, or by activating devices that remember passwords or user identification codes registered in the browser, or for any damage, errors and inaccuracies that may arise from misuse or malfunction.

In the event that a user causes any type of damage or loss to a third party, that user takes sole responsibility. Additionally, the user will assume all expenses, costs and, where applicable, compensation that might arise from legal proceedings resulting from a breach of the terms established in these conditions and of the applicable law.

6. Confidentiality

All user information stored in the system, whether it refers to the user’s purchase history, or any other additional information provided within the functionalities offered by the system, will be stored under the appropriate security conditions, in such a way as to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of said information at all times.

TMB undertakes to comply with the obligation to keep this information secret, providing or communicating it only to those bodies or third parties that request it for reasons of compliance with a legal obligation, as well as in cases in which it is absolutely essential for the provision to the user of the additional services offered through the different tickets (for example, to suppliers that provide supplementary services related to the transport tickets offered, such as guides, etc.).

All the contents of the website (including, but not limited to, databases, images, drawings, graphics, text files, maps, frames, banners, software and its different source codes, audio and video), as well as the website itself as a visual presentation, are the property of TMB, or of its content providers, which in the latter case have been licensed or assigned by them, and are protected by national and international intellectual and industrial property regulations. The compilation (understood as being the compiling, design, ordering and assembly) of the entire website content belongs exclusively to TMB.

All software used in the use and development of the website is the exclusive property of TMB and is protected by national and international industrial and intellectual property laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the user can freely view the website and its content and download material for personal and non-commercial use, without this being extended to third person individuals or entities whether it be for payment or free of charge.

Consequently, making available the use of databases, images, drawings, graphics, text, audio and video files and software owned by TMB or its suppliers that feature on the website, and any other content does not, under any circumstances, imply the transfer of ownership or granting the right of use in favour of a user.
