4. Messages and submissions

If you contact us, you grant us permission to read and store your message as described in our Privacy Policy so we can respond and improve the Site. Please do not send confidential information through the contact form.

The Site links to third-party websites, tools and documentation. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. Links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement.

6. Content disclaimer

Our guides are educational content only. Following instructions on the Site can involve changing settings, installing software and handling hardware — do so at your own risk. Keep backups and read our full Disclaimer before following any guide.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages — including loss of data, loss of profits or damage to hardware or software — arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including mandatory consumer rights under Spanish and EU law.
