    Terms and conditions applicable to the Content user license

    As a consequence of the payment of a consideration for a specific Content You acquire a user licence pertaining to the Content paid for (the “Licence”), which licence does not confer the assignment of any kind of right over the commercial exploitation of the brands or Contents. Consequently, the User may not play, distribute, communicate publicly, transform, licence or sub-licence the licensed Content, wholly or partly, except in so far as it may be indispensably required to benefit from the expressly authorised uses pursuant to the terms of the licence.

    The acceptance of the Licence shall only allow the User to carry out the uses of the commercial exploitation rights over the Contents that are covered by the Licence, over the period of time agreed with AGENCIA EFE and for the territory, format and commercial exploitation for which the Content User Licence has been acquired (the “Additional Conditions”).

    The Additional Conditions of the Licence are set out in the information available for each Content so that the User recognises that upon acquiring a Content User Licence the User has read and accepts these Licence terms and conditions, as well as the Additional Conditions that complement this Licence.

    Additionally, the User recognises that the Contents may only be used for the purpose described in the Additional Conditions (about which information is given at the time prior to the acquisition of the Contents User Licence. The Contents of the Platform may be used on the basis of the grant of a Restricted Use Limited Licence: this licence is granted with limited scope in so far as AGENCIA EFE might not be the owner of all of the Content rights. Consequently, the User expressly recognises that the Content for which this licence is granted may only be used for one of the following purposes:

    • Informational purposes
    • Informational purposes pertaining to current events or topics
    • Cultural purposes

    The User expressly recognises that the Content that is the subject of this Restricted Use Limited Licence cannot be used for advertising purposes (defining as advertising any kind of communication for the purpose of directly or indirectly promoting the sale of personal or real property, services, rights and/or obligations, or for commercial purposes (defining commercial purposes as any use of the Content for a lucrative purpose or from which a lucrative purpose may otherwise be derived).

    Causes of early termination of the Licence.

    The User recognises that AGENCIA EFE is entitled to terminate this Licence whenever a breach or defective or irregular compliance with any of the obligations set out in this Contract takes place, including the use of the Contents for a purpose or with a scope different of that set out in the Licence and/or in the Additional Conditions of the Licence (a “breach”) and more specifically:

    • Whenever the User becomes unable to meet its obligations as they fall due and, more specifically, if any of the following events should take place: 1.- the non-payment of its current obligations; 2.- the launch against the User of a judicial, administrative or notary-based proceeding that may lead to the seizure or public auction of its assets, or 3.- Should the user generally fail to comply with its tax, salary and Social Security obligations;
    • Whenever the User performs actions that drastically place at risk or decrease its solvency, such as the disposal or liquidation of its assets;
    • Whenever the User performs actions that, without specifically breaching the provisions of the Licence and/or of the Additional Conditions, may otherwise damage AGENCIA EFE, its reputation, its public image or its rights over the Contents;
    • Whenever the User is found to be in breach of any of its obligations.

    Effects of the termination of the Licence

    The ending or termination of the Licence, whether ordinary or early, shall imply, without prejudice in respect of any damages that may arise as a consequence of the reasons leading to said termination, an obligation for the user to cease, immediately and at its own cost, using the Content that constitutes the purpose of the Licence and to delete each and every copy of the Content that the User may keep in any terminal, hardware system or support unit.

    The ordinary or early termination of the Licence shall under no circumstances imply the refund of any amounts that AGENCIA EFE might have received from the User, without prejudice in respect of, should said termination have resulted from a breach, AGENCIA EFE becoming entitled to claim any damages that may arise from the breach and termination of the Licence, pursuant to its applicable provisions.

    The termination of the Licence compels the User to pay to AGENCIA EFE all of the amounts due on that date. To that end any invoices that for said purposes may already have been issued must be immediately paid by the User, even if still not overdue, as well as any other that AGENCIA EFE might issue as a consequence of the termination in order to invoice the total amount corresponding to the financial obligations derived from the corresponding Licence.

    The termination of a Licence granted to a User for the use of a Content does not necessarily imply the termination of any other Licences that AGENCIA EFE might have granted in respect of other Contents, given that each Licence and the Additional Conditions of the Licence constitute an independent document setting the conditions applicable to each specific Content.

    Payment of the Licence

    It may be necessary to pay a consideration to AGENCIA EFE for the acquisition of the Contents User Licence pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Licence and the Additional Conditions, in which case the payment obligation and the accepted means of payment shall be set out together with the Additional Conditions.
