Consequently, by accepting the Agreement, the Licensee is granted one or more licenses to use risk4all that are revocable, non-exclusive, temporary, non-sub-licensable, non-transferable and onerous.

In no event shall acceptance of these Terms constitute a sale or transfer of ownership of risk4all or any intellectual property or other rights in this tool that are not expressly governed by the Agreement.

Furthermore, the Agreement shall regulate the provision of the Additional Services that, where applicable, the Licensee contracts through the Partner.

Licensee undertakes to use risk4all in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and applicable legislation, as well as in accordance with good faith, morals, good customs and public order.

3 Description of risk4all and Accessory Services

Modules, functionalities and modalities of recruitment

Below is a description of the functionalities available in each module, as well as the conditions corresponding to each type of contract (Premium, Standard and Basic).

The Licensee may change the contracting modality at any time, without prejudice to the costs, penalties and/or deadlines that this implies and which will be assessed by the Partner.

In the event that the change is to a lower price modality, such change shall not imply a refund of the difference in price by the Licensor, without prejudice to the provisions of the Special Conditions agreed with the Partner.

Additional Services

Alternatively, the Licensee may request from the Partner the provision of certain Ancillary Services, which shall be provided and invoiced in accordance with the Particular Conditions.

The Ancillary Services may be subcontracted, where appropriate, to companies that specialise in the provision of such services.

4 Limitations and guarantees of use

Licensee agrees to make appropriate use of risk4all by ensuring the following limitations:

Licensee will protect and safeguard access to risk4all and may not transfer or assign to any third party in any way whatsoever the rights acquired through acceptance of the Agreement. Under no circumstances will Licensee allow the use of risk4all by third parties outside of his or her organisation.

The use of risk4all by Licensee for the provision of direct or indirect services to entities other than the organization of Licensee, as well as for purposes other than those set out in the Agreement or any other purpose not previously authorized by Licensor, is prohibited.

Any activity contrary to risk4all’s internal use as set out in the Agreement is prohibited. By way of example and without limitation, the following actions are prohibited with respect to risk4all without the prior express written authorisation of the Licensor: assignment, sale, sub-licence, reverse engineering, decompiling, reproduction, translation, modification, versioning, marketing, duplication, transformation or transmission to any other entity or legal person of all or part of risk4all, removal of proprietary or authorship marks, etc.

Similarly, any rights not expressly mentioned in the Agreement are reserved entirely to Licensor and in no event may the provisions of these Terms and Conditions be interpreted in a manner that is detrimental to Licensor or contrary to the legal exploitation of the license.

Accordingly, Licensor reserves the right to make such checks as may be necessary to verify the proper use of risk4all and compliance with the provisions of the Agreement.

5 Responsibility, requirements and maintenance of risk4all

Taking into account the functionalities of risk4all and the content of the Accessory Services, Licensor shall not assume any liability whatsoever for damages, direct or indirect, that Licensee or other third parties may suffer due to causes such as, but not limited to: service interruption, breakdown, failure, or loss of information.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Licensor undertakes to adopt the necessary means and solutions to correct or minimize the possible problems suffered by the Licensee, who in no case may claim any amount as compensation or any other concepts for possible errors, response time or problems of access to risk4all.

Without this implying an authorisation to assign any of the rights derived from the Contract, the Licensee will be responsible for any relationship that it formalises with third parties as a consequence of the use of risk4all, these relationships being understood to be carried out exclusively between the Licensee and the third party. Consequently, the Licensor shall not be liable for any damages caused to the Licensee or to the third party as a result of the relationships entered into between the two as a consequence of the use of risk4all or through the same.

The Licensee shall be solely responsible for its Users and shall hold Licensor harmless in this regard. Thus, the Licensee shall implement the necessary measures to prevent the unauthorized, fraudulent or irregular use of risk4all by its Users.

In addition, Licensee shall be responsible for compliance by Users with the conditions governing risk4all. By way of illustration and not limitation, Licensee shall assume the responsibilities arising from:

The non-diligent use of risk4all by Users.

The inclusion or use of any software, data, virus, code or any other device, mechanism or routine that may cause damage to risk4all or to other equipment or systems owned or operated by third parties.

The introduction, transmission or dissemination by means of risk4all of any content that infringes the rights of third parties or is contrary to the law.

In addition, for the proper functioning of risk4all, the Licensor recommends compliance with the following technical requirements:

In accordance with the above requirements, Licensee is solely responsible for ensuring that risk4all is compatible with its operating systems and IT equipment.

6 Financial conditions

In the event of three (3) or more repeated non-payments during the period of one (1) year, Licensor reserves the right to terminate the Agreement early without any right to compensation of any kind for Licensee and without prejudice to any claim for outstanding payment.

7 Intellectual Property

The Licensor is the legitimate owner or licensee of all intellectual and industrial property rights inherent in risk4all, as well as its content (including, but not limited to, databases, images, photographs, drawings, graphics, icons, operations and text, audio, video and code files), as well as the trademarks, logos, trade names or any other distinctive signs, which form or have formed part of risk4all at any time. All these materials are protected by Spanish intellectual and industrial property laws.

Any improvements, changes or additional developments to risk4all shall be the property of Licensor, including the functionalities developed at the request of Licensee.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Licensor only grants one or more non-exclusive licenses for use in favour of Licensee. In no event does this document grant to Licensee any intellectual property rights in risk4all beyond those that are strictly necessary for its proper use and operation, nor does it constitute a waiver of such rights by Licensor.

Except where expressly indicated in writing by Licensor to the contrary, all or part of the content of risk4all may not be reproduced, modified, extracted, adapted, published, transmitted, copied, made available or distributed or otherwise used without the prior written permission of Licensor. Any use of such content may constitute a violation of the intellectual property rights of the Licensor, and the Licensor reserves the right to take appropriate legal action.

Licensee may not sell, resell, distribute or otherwise make available risk4all content or excerpts or other information derived from it to a third party in any manner or by any means without the express prior written authorization of Licensor. Under no circumstances may risk4all or any of its contents be downloaded or run in any form or on any media other than as specified in the Agreement.

Licensor reserves the right to modify and update risk4all. The Licensor does not warrant or certify that the content of risk4all is accurate, complete, or current, or that it is free from errors or omissions.

8 Confidentiality

The Parties undertake to maintain the utmost reserve and secrecy regarding information classified as confidential, whether it relates to technical, commercial, industrial or any other aspect, provided by the other party in connection with the provision of services covered by the Contract or the negotiation, conclusion or execution thereof. Confidential information may not be disclosed, communicated or provided to third parties without the prior express written authorization of the party disclosing such information.

Confidential information shall be considered to be any information that a party may access under the Contract, in particular information and personal data that is the responsibility of the other party and that it has accessed or may access during the execution of the Contract. Such information, as well as copies and/or reproductions thereof, shall be treated as confidential information for the purposes of the Contract.

All information and data that is in the public domain or in the possession of the Parties prior to the start of the negotiation of the Contract and that has been obtained by lawful means in accordance with the applicable legislation shall not be considered confidential.

The obligation of confidentiality contained in the Contract shall be of an indefinite nature, remaining in force after the termination, for whatever reason, of the relationship between the Parties.

Each of the Parties shall be responsible for ensuring that their personnel, collaborators, managers and, in general, all persons under their responsibility who have access to confidential information and personal data for which the other party is responsible, respect the confidentiality of the information, as well as the obligations relating to the processing of personal data, even after the Contract has ended. Therefore, the Parties will make as many warnings and sign as many documents as necessary with such persons, in order to ensure compliance with such obligations.

Each of the Parties shall keep at the disposal of the other the documentation accrediting the fulfilment of the obligation established in the previous paragraph.

9 Data protection

Personal data of Licensee’s representatives and contacts

Partner and/or Licensee shall communicate to Licensor personal identification and contact data of Licensee’s representatives and professional contacts for the purpose of the proper performance of the Agreement.

Licensor hereby informs such interested parties that their personal data will be processed for the purpose of perfecting, executing, controlling and maintaining the Agreement.

The legal basis for the processing of the data of the data subjects is the necessity for the conclusion and execution of the Contract.

The data will be kept for the duration of the Contract and, subsequently, for 15 years in order to meet any possible liabilities, including criminal liabilities, arising from the contractual relationship.

In addition, Licensor will use the contact details of the interested parties to send, by any means of contact provided, (i) functional information on the use, incidents or updates of risk4all, as well as (ii) commercial information on Licensor’s products, services, promotions, news or events related to the information security sector, privacy, software, technology and other related sectors. When these communications are sent by email, the tool used for sending communications will include links and tiny, transparent images that will be associated with the recipient’s email address. In this way, when one of these images is downloaded or the links contained in the e-mail are accessed, the recipient can know for statistical purposes if the e-mail has been opened or if any link has been accessed from the e-mail. The recipient may reject these uses by configuring their manager or email program to prevent automated downloading of images, as well as not accessing the links included in the emails they receive. Likewise, in each commercial communication, the Licensee may object to receiving this type of information through the contact method indicated for processing his or her cancellation. The legal basis that legitimizes this treatment is the legitimate interest of the Licensor, as well as the existence of a previous legal relationship being commercial communications about products or services similar to those originally contracted by the Licensee. Your data will be processed for this purpose indefinitely until you object to it or request the deletion of your data.

In any case, the affected parties may exercise their rights of access, rectification, suppression, opposition, limitation and portability before the Licensor by means of written communication to the registered office that appears at the beginning of this document, providing a copy of their ID card or equivalent document and identifying themselves as a party or interested party in this Agreement. Likewise, in the event that they consider their right to the protection of personal data to have been violated, they may file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or with the Data Protection Delegate of the Licensor (dpo@risk4all.es).

Ordering treatment

For the purposes of the Contract, the Licensee shall be deemed to be the data controller and the Licensor shall be deemed to be the processor in accordance with the provisions of Articles 28 and 29 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and Council of 27 April 2016 (hereinafter, RGPD).

Consequently, the Licensor assumes the following obligations:

The subcontracting may be carried out if the Licensee does not express his opposition within the established period. The subcontractor, who shall also have the status of data processor, is also obliged to comply with the obligations established in this document for the data processor and the instructions given by the data controller. The Licensor shall remain fully liable to the Licensee for compliance with the obligations. In connection with the foregoing, the Licensee authorizes the Licensor from the outset and in general to subcontract the hosting of risk4all and the development and maintenance work to companies or entities located within the European Union.

To make available to the Licensee all the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with its obligations, as well as for the performance of audits or inspections carried out by the Licensee or another auditor authorized by the Licensee.

In the event that the Licensor is required to transfer or allow access to personal data for which the Licensee is responsible to a third party under applicable Union or Member State law, the Licensor shall inform the Licensee of that legal requirement in advance, unless it is prohibited for reasons of public interest.

Once the contractual relationship agreed upon between the Licensee and the Licensor has been fulfilled or terminated, the Licensee shall provide the Licensor with precise instructions as to the destination of the data, and may choose between its return, referral to another service provider or complete destruction, provided that there is no legal provision requiring the retention of the data, in which case no destruction may take place.

To adopt and apply the appropriate technical and organisational measures to guarantee a level of security that prevents its alteration, loss, treatment or unauthorised access, taking into account the state of technology, the nature of the data stored and the risks to which it is exposed, in accordance with the provisions of article 32 of the RGPD.

Such measures may include, among others:

pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data;

the ability to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, permanent availability and resilience of processing systems and services, as well as the availability of and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.

a process of regular verification, evaluation and assessment of the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of processing.
