The VHIO website provides a wide range of information, services and data. The user is responsible for the proper use of the website. This responsibility includes:

External links policy and liability exemptions

VHIO accepts no responsibility for the content of external websites that the user may access via links on the VHIO website, provided that VHIO has no actual knowledge that the activity or information which it refers to or recommends is unlawful or infringes the rights of a third party giving rise to compensation, or, where it does have such knowledge, it acts diligently to remove or disable the link in question.

VHIO shall be deemed to have such actual knowledge, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, when a competent authority has declared the data unlawful, ordered its removal or the disabling of access to it, or has declared the existence of an infringement, and VHIO is aware of the relevant decision, without prejudice to the procedures for detecting and removing content applied by VHIO through voluntary agreements and any other means of establishing actual knowledge that may be adopted.

VHIO declares that it has adopted all necessary measures to prevent any harm to users of its website that may arise from browsing the site. Consequently, VHIO shall not, under any circumstances, be held liable for any potential damage that the user may suffer as a result of browsing the internet.
