All rights are reserved. You do not have any right, interest, or title in or to the Material unless otherwise expressly indicated. The trademarks and logos (“Trade Marks”) contained on or in this Website, or any other IJM Site or Server, are registered and owned by, or licensed to the IJM. Save as expressly stated, you do not have any right to use, copy, edit, vary, reproduce, publish, display, distribute, store, transmit, commercially exploit or disseminate the Trade Marks without the prior written consent of the IJM.

None of the Material may be used for any commercial or public use. Save as expressly stated or as necessary to view, print, or download extracts of the Material for personal use, none of the Material may be copied, edited, varied, reproduced, published, displayed, distributed, stored, transmitted, commercially exploited, or disseminated in any form whatsoever without the prior written consent of the IJM.
3. CONTENT SUBMITTED TO THE WEBSITE: ​Information, data, text, music, software, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, or other materials may be posted or uploaded (in public or privately) on to designated areas of certain of the IJM Sites. Any information, data, text, music, software, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, or other materials which are posted or uploaded on to any IJM Site or Server or otherwise transmitted through this Website or any other IJM Site or Server by any visitor to this Website is referred to as “Content.” The IJM does not control the Content and, as such, is not responsible for it in any way whatsoever. In particular, the IJM does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of such Content. The IJM shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to delete, edit, lock, move or remove any Content without notice. Without limiting the preceding, the IJM shall have the right without notice to record the IP address from which any Content is posted or uploaded to or otherwise transmitted through any IJM Site or Server and to lock or remove any Content which violates these Terms or is or may be irrelevant, out of date, inappropriate or objectionable in any way whatsoever or in respect of which the IJM receives any complaint (whether valid, justified or not). If you upload, post, or otherwise transmit any Content to a public part of any IJM Site or Server (including, without limitation, if you post a blog, upload files, input data, or engage in any other form of communication through any IJM Site) you are wholly responsible for it. You hereby: (a) grant the IJM an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free right to use, distribute, copy, edit, adapt, license, distribute, transmit, publish, publicly perform or display any such Content in any form or medium anywhere in the World; and (b) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any moral rights or similar rights you have in any Content under the Spanish intellectual property laws (as amended, superseded or replaced from time to time) (the “Act”) or equivalent legislation anywhere in the World.
4. THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND DOWNLOADS: ​This Website and other IJM Sites or Servers may feature products and services of third parties (“Products and Services”) or contain links to websites operated by third parties (“Third-Party Websites”). The IJM does not have any influence or control over any such Products or Services or any Third-Party Website. Unless otherwise stated, the IJM is not responsible for and does not endorse any Products or Services or any Third-Party Website or its availability or contents. The IJM is not responsible for any agreement or understanding you enter into with a third-party through a Third-Party Website and/or about any Products or Services.

The IJM is a participant in several affiliate advertising programs. For instance, we participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as excluding or limiting the liability of the IJM for death or personal injury caused by its negligence or for any other liability which cannot be excluded by Spanish law. This Website is controlled and operated by the IJM from several locations around the world. The IJM makes no representation that this website’s material is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access this Website or any IJM Site from other locations do so on their initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on a consumer’s applicable statutory rights, so the exclusions and limitations in this section 7 may not apply to you in whole or part.
   DOWNLOADS: ​Without limiting the preceding, you expressly agree that the IJM, its officers, subsidiaries, employees, and/or affiliates shall have no liability whatsoever for the performance of any software product you purchase and/or download through, or via a link from, the IJM Sites (“Download”).

The IJM hereby disclaim all warranties and conditions concerning the Download, either express, implied, or statutory, including (without limitation) the implied warranties and/or conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement of third-party rights. The IJM does not warrant against interference with your enjoyment of the Download, that the functions contained in the Download will be continuous, uninterrupted, secure, virus-free, or error-free, or that defects in the Download will be corrected. Should the Download prove defective, you assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction.
8. ACCESS RESTRICTION: The IJM reserves the right in its sole discretion to deny you access to this Website or any other IJM Site or Server, or any portion thereof, without notice and for any reason including, without limitation, if you fail to comply with any clause 5 (Member Conduct) or any other provision of these Terms.
9. GENERAL: ​These Terms (as amended from time to time) constitute the entire agreement between you and the IJM concerning your use of this Website or any other IJM Site or Server and supersede any previous arrangement, agreement, undertaking or proposal, written or oral between you and the IJM concerning such matters. The IJM reserves the right to update these Terms from time to time. If it does so, the updated version will be effective as soon as it is uploaded to this Website. No other variation to these Terms shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative on behalf of the IJM. These Terms shall be governed by and construed by Spanish law, and you agree, for the benefit of the IJM, to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Spanish Courts. Suppose any provision(s) of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable. In that case, such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the parties’ intentions, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. IJM’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by the IJM in writing.
