Contributions from registered users

Unless otherwise agreed, the contributions (texts, photographs, drawings, etc.) made to this site by its users will automatically result in the transfer of the image rights and the rights to reproduce, distribute, disseminate and adapt the contents throughout the world and for an indefinite period of time. This transfer will allow us to use this material on the site (for its intended purpose), and authorises us to use such content on those media (CD-ROM, DVD, paper or others) that will enable its owners to carry out promotional activities, research or create a file on the website.

For this reason, the user agrees to transfer, free of charge, the rights to reproduce, distribute, adapt and disseminate his/her contribution to the website in the public domain, by every possible means, throughout the world and for the maximum length of time specified by the law to protect the rights granted and with the authorisation to transfer these rights to third parties.

The users submitting a contribution to the site (this may comprise a text, audio file, photographs and/or audiovisuals) guarantee that they hold the intellectual property rights which they transfer by virtue of this contract and will, therefore, not hold this website responsible for any complaints made by third parties resulting from a failure to comply with this guarantee.

Any contents that infringe the copyright of a third party will be removed as soon as TURISME DE BARCELONA becomes aware of this fact. In addition to this, any user who has infringed this copyright, or has been notified of such an activity on several occasions, will be denied access to the service.

Likewise, TURISME DE BARCELONA reserves the right to decide if the contents meet the content requirements stipulated in the present conditions and may remove such contents and/or cancel access by any user who uploads contents that infringe the present conditions at any time, without prior warning.

By submitting contributions to this section, the user agrees to the following conditions:

-This website will decide on the suitability of the contribution submitted for publication and may adapt it technologically, divide it and tailor it to the ideal format for publication.

-Under no circumstances will we accept contributions that are detrimental to the following principles: the right to honour, to personal and family intimacy and to the image, with regard to the dignity of the individual, the principle of non-discrimination due to race, sex, creed, opinion, nationality, disability or any other personal and social circumstance, as well as any other principles that may be violated.

- The user declares, guarantees and confirms to this website:

1. That his/her personal details are correct and can be verified.

2. That he/she is the author of the contribution submitted, that it is original and has not been plagiarised or appropriated from third parties.

3. That, in the case of submitting photographs, audio files or videos of individuals, these have been made with the consent of the people featured therein and that these people are legally of age and give their consent and accept the consequences of the contribution submitted.

4. That he/she will not publish or upload any contents that contain any material whose ownership would be illegal in his/her country of residence, or whose use and possession would be illegal for TURISME DE BARCELONA.

As a result, the user is responsible for the fulfilment of the present conditions and, as a result, will not hold this website responsible for his/her failure to comply with them and for the consequences of their publication.
