SERVICES OFFERED AND CANCELLATION

The IHM offers a wide range of products and services. The presence of a product or service in our IDE-IHM Geoportal at any given time does not offer any guarantee that such product or service will have temporal permanence. The IHM is not required to continue offering any product or service over time, nor to store the data related to any product or service, nor to make backup copies, nor to maintain the conditions of gratuity or access provided at the time the user registers for that product or service. The user will not therefore have the right to claim the restoration of access, content, documents, passwords, conditions, user names, or other data of a service that was hired or used at the time. Likewise, the services offered by the IDE-IHM Geoportal may be managed by third parties, which in their case will apply their own terms and conditions of use, being the responsibility of the third parties the management of the data of such users. The IHM is not required to warn of this contingency, and may at any time unilaterally terminate the contracts entered into with third parties, without any obligation to maintain the service or to continue providing users with the service or the contents they have uploaded therein. The user is solely responsible for the use of the IDE-IHM Geoportal services. In the event that the interruption of a particular service, or the loss of data causes injury of any kind to the user, the user understands by accepting these Terms and Conditions that he/she and he/she alone is solely responsible for the loss of this data, and therefore agrees not to file any claim with the IHM for such injury. The IHM decides which contents that may or may not be hosted on its IDE-IHM Geoportal according to the legislation in force, which users may or may not access it, which access privileges such users will have, and which type of material they may upload or access. The decision of the IHM on this matter is final, and the user understands that the IHM may choose to moderate or not the contents posted by other users without the right to reply or request explanations on the subject.
