This Legal Notice governs access to and use of the website alejolm.com (the “Website”), owned by the company identified below. Use of the Website confers the status of user and implies full and unreserved acceptance of every provision set out in this Legal Notice.

1. Owner identification details (art. 10 LSSI-CE)

In compliance with the duty of information laid down in article 10 of Spanish Act 34/2002, of 11 July, on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE), users are informed of the following details of the Website owner:

2. Purpose of the Website

The purpose of the Website is the professional presentation of Alejo Leal Martín: professional background, practice areas, publications and academic work in the field of real estate law, together with a contact channel and informative materials, including a downloadable curriculum vitae.

The Website may include study and self-assessment tools of an informative nature (such as the California Bar Exam question bank). These tools are intended solely for educational purposes and do not constitute official material of any examination or examining body.

The information published on the Website is general and informative in nature and does not constitute legal advice. Consulting it does not create any attorney-client relationship, which will arise only upon the express acceptance of a professional engagement by means of the corresponding engagement letter. Sending an e-mail to the addresses published here does not, in itself, create such a relationship either.

3. Conditions of use

Users undertake to use the Website, its contents and its services in accordance with applicable law, this Legal Notice, morality, generally accepted good practice and public order. In particular, users undertake:

• Not to use the Website for unlawful or prohibited purposes, or for purposes that harm the rights and interests of third parties.
• Not to introduce, store or distribute through the Website any defamatory, insulting, obscene, discriminatory or otherwise unlawful content.
• Not to introduce or spread programs, viruses, code or any other element capable of causing damage to the systems of the owner or of third parties.
• Not to attempt to access restricted areas, nor to carry out mass extraction, automated crawling or reverse engineering of the Website without prior written authorisation.
• Not to impersonate other users or use third-party data without their consent.

The owner may deny or withdraw access to the Website, at any time and without prior notice, to users who breach these conditions.

4. Intellectual and industrial property

All contents of the Website — including, without limitation, texts, articles, case notes, research work, photographs, graphic design, source code, logos, trade marks and databases — belong to the owner of the Website or to third parties who have authorised their use, and are protected by Spanish and international intellectual and industrial property legislation.

Their reproduction, distribution, public communication, transformation or any other form of exploitation, whether in whole or in part, is prohibited without the express written authorisation of the owner. Quotation of extracts for teaching or research purposes is permitted provided that the source and the author are cited, in accordance with article 32 of the Spanish Consolidated Text of the Intellectual Property Act.

Access to the Website does not grant users any right or title over such contents.

5. Links

The Website may contain links to third-party sites (for example, professional profiles, academic repositories or legal publications). The owner does not control those sites and accepts no liability whatsoever for their contents, privacy policies or practices.

Establishing a link to the Website does not imply any relationship, collaboration or endorsement between the owner and the party responsible for the linking site, and does not authorise the reproduction of Website contents or the creation of confusion as to their origin.

6. Exclusion of warranties and liability

The owner endeavours to keep the information published accurate and up to date, but does not warrant the absence of errors or the permanent validity of the contents, particularly in a field — the legal field — subject to regulatory and case-law developments. Users should verify the information and seek professional advice before taking any decision.

The owner shall not be liable for damages arising from: interruptions, viruses, faults or system disconnections; improper use of the Website by the user; or contents hosted on linked third-party sites.

7. Suspension and modification of the Website

The owner reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently and without prior notice, access to the Website or to any of its contents and functionalities, as well as to update this Legal Notice. Users are advised to review it periodically.

The owner is further bound by the duty of professional secrecy in respect of information received in the course of legal practice.

9. Governing law and jurisdiction

For the resolution of any dispute arising from access to or use of the Website, the parties submit to the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Madrid, unless the applicable legislation, in particular consumer protection legislation, provides for a different venue.
