The aim of these Terms is to establish the contractual conditions for participants who wish to participate in the different sports events. It is also understood that a person becomes a User of the Platform at the moment s/he accepts the Terms of Use and/or Privacy Policy stated. This becomes effective from the moment the User accesses the Platform.

User registration is not required for access to and browsing the Website, although participants are required to fill in the registration form in order to take part in the different sports events organised.

Under no circumstances will RPM-MKTG be held liable for the accuracy of the registration data provided by participants. Each participant will be solely responsible for any possible consequences, errors and failures that may arise from the lack of accuracy or the type of data entered. The RPM-MKTG team may contact the participant at any time so that s/he may demonstrate his/her real age, providing a photocopy of a National Identity Card or equivalent document.

RPM-MKTG requests that any abuse or infringement of these Terms of Use that is detected, and in particular related to minors, be immediately notified through the means of contact indicated above.

5. REGISTRATION OF THE PARTICIPANT IN DIFFERENT EVENTS

5.1 Registration for a free-of-charge event

The participant may register free-of-charge as an individual without obtaining any kind of economic gain from participating- He/she may not claim any kind of compensation (economic or non-economic) from RPM-MKTG. 

5.2 Registration for a fee-paying event

To register for certain events, the participant will pay a sum specified in the description of the different events.

Regardless of whether the participants register for free-of-charge or fee-paying events, they are responsible for the information they provide in their registration and assume full liability for any consequences that may arise from this. RPM-MKTG will not assume any liability for any actions that the participants may carry out, and will be held harmless of any liability that may arise from any claim for actions or omissions made by the participant that may jeopardise the rights of third parties and/or infringe regulations on intellectual or industrial property, or any other regulation in the applicable jurisdiction.

The registration of minors under eighteen (18) years of age is forbidden, in accordance with that stated in paragraph 12 of these Terms. In the event of a registration by a minor under that age, it will be assumed that it has been done with the prior and express consent of the minor’s parents, guardians or legal representatives, without prejudice to RPM-MKTG reserving the right to make as many verifications as it considers appropriate.

Participants are also informed that, in all the events that are announced on the Platform, photographs and/or videos will be taken during the events. The content obtained in the events may be used by RPM-MKTG for a range of purposes (publishing on the website, on the website + social media, etc.). Registration and participation in the event will mean the participant’s acceptance of his/her image being captured/used for the purpose(s) indicated in the Regulations.

5.3. Delivery and purchase of necessary materials and additional products

A range of materials will be made available to the participants, as described in the Regulations, for both free-of-charge and fee-paying events. 

As a general rule, and provided that the Participant has paid in full and payment has been received by RPM-MKTG, the materials required for participation in the event will be delivered together with the race number (bib).

In the event of purchasing further products, such as a personalised medal or a photo pack, these will be governed by the conditions stated in the Regulations. 

RPM-MKTG recommends that the Participant should validate any information related to these materials before any use or performance based on this information. RPM-MKTG does not assume any liability for typographical or other similar errors, nor for any possible omissions in the information about the material.

Fee and Payment

Once the form has been filled in, the Participant will proceed to pay the registration fee and, if applicable, the sum for the purchase of additional material, through the means of payment specified on the Website.

After payment has been made, the Participant will receive a confirmation email of his/her registration in the event in question, including -in the event of having purchased additional material (e.g. the personalised medal or the photo pack)- (i) a summary of the purchased items, (ii) the shipping method selected and (iii) the delivery address, if applicable.

If, at the time of making the payment, circumstances arise that prevent the payment being processed, the participant will receive an automatic errormessage. Registration for the requested event will not be considered completed until payment of the full sum has been made.

Fees for events and materials are expressed in euros (€), including taxes and handling/shipping charges. The sum will be indicated at the time of confirmation of the event in question.

We advise participants that payments will be made through the payment gateways described in our Privacy Policy.

6. CANCELLATION AND REFUND 

6.1. Cancellation of registration.

Participants may request the cancellation of their registration at any time up to the day prior to the delivery of the equipment, material and, as the case may be, bib number. 

In the case of a registration for a fee-paying event, you may request a refund of the sum paid at the time of registration if the time frame referred to in the previous section is observed, and also in the conditions established in the Regulations on registration.

6.2. Return of additional products.

Returns as a result of manufacturing defects.

RPM-MKTG is liable for any non-conformity of additional products such as the personalised medal if this is notified within two (2) years from their delivery. In this case the Participant may return the product(s) in question. 

 According to the legislation, it is understood that products are compliant when:

• They correspond to the description made by the seller and possess the product characteristics that the seller has presented to the consumer and user in the form of a sample or model

• They are suitable for the uses that products of the same type usually undergo

• They are suitable for any special use required by the consumer and user when s/he has notified this to the seller at the time of signing the purchase agreement, provided that that the seller has indicated that the product is suitable for said use.

During the two (2)-year period in which RPM-MKTG is liable for the non-conformity of the product(s), it will only be assumed that this non-conformity can be attributed to RPM-MKTG in the first six (6) months of this period. During the following eighteen (18) months, up to the 2-year period stated, the Participant who purchases the additional product(s) must justify and provide credible proof that the non-conformity is attributable to RPM-MKTG. In the event of RPM-MKTG’s liability for the non-conformity of the product(s) not being justified and proven, it will not be possible to return the product(s).

Returns due to withdrawal.

Participants who purchase additional materials may exercise their right of withdrawal within fourteen (14) calendar days from the moment when the material is received. This right will be exercised directly against RPM-MKTG.

These participants may exercise this right of withdrawal when they are not satisfied with the products received in their order, without any penalty or a need to indicate the reasons for the return.

Nevertheless, the participant will bear the direct cost of returning the product(s) to RPM-MKTG, both if s/he returns the order in full or decides to only return one or more of the products ordered.

Nevertheless, in accordance with article 103 of Spanish Legislative Royal Decree 1/2007 of 16 November 2007, approving the revised text of the Spanish General Law on the Defence of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws, the right of withdrawal will not be applicable in the event of materials produced in accordance with the consumer’s and user’s specifications or are manifestly personalised products.

Procedure for returns 

To formalise the return, the Participant must use the email address indicated in these Terms and follow the stated procedure, informing us of his/her right of withdrawal in an unambiguous statement. For more information, you can contact us through one of the channels indicated in the header to these Terms of Use.

RPM-MKTG guarantees that it is the titleholder of or, as the case may be, holds the corresponding intellectual and industrial property rights for the management of the Platform, without access to, browsing on the Website or registration for an event representing any kind of waiver or total or partial transmission of assignment of the property rights of RPM-MKTG in favour of the participants.

All the content is duly protected by intellectual and, as the case may be, industrial property legislation, without prejudice to the fact that any person or entity who/that considers that their/its rights are being jeopardised may undertake legal action considered appropriate.

As soon as proof is obtained that any situation that involves identify theft of a participant is applicable, this will be made known to the Police.

14. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

The use of links on the Internet is one of the key features of its operation, which is why the inclusion of links to third-party websites is expressly activated, provided that these are legal and licit, do not infringe laws, personal honour, public order or generally accepted social norms and are not associated with an economic activity, either directly or indirectly.

In relation to the links published by RPM-MKTG, the company undertakes that their content will comply with current legislation, as well as these Terms, also undertaking to withdraw them immediately after obtaining effective knowledge that the linked content does not comply with any of the indications made.

Regarding third-party links, RPM-MKTG is not liable for content that may be housed in linked websites, these being solely responsible for their content. In this respect, if you are aware of the illegal nature of activities carried out through third-party websites with a link to the RPM-MKTG Website, you should notify RPM-MKTG immediately so that it can immediately disable access to the link in question.

The establishment of any kind of link from the Website to an external website does not imply that there is any relationship, partnership or dependence between RPM-MKTG and the person/entity responsible for the external website.

15. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES

The participant understands that the permanent availability of the Website is not possible- Nevertheless, RPM-MKTG continuously strives to ensure its availability, taking all the necessary measures within the current state of the art to ensure the functioning of the Website and reduce system errors to a minimum, both from the technical point of view and that of published content.

The parties shall be liable for any infringements they may have incurred personally, holding the other party harmless for any error, blame or negligence not attributable to it, and for any damages that may arise from said infringements or errors imputable to the other contracting party.

RPM-MKTG will make every commercial and technical effort within its ability to maintain the availability of its services through the Platform. This constitutes an obligation that will not, however, be applicable due to a lack of availability or performance caused by:

Temporary inactivity of the Website due to updates and/or technical maintenance

Reasons beyond the control of RPM-MKTG: force majeure, problems accessing the Internet, technological problems outside the scope of the diligent and reasonable management by the titleholder of the Platform, actions or omissions of third parties, etc.

In the event of the closure or suspension of the Website for reasons beyond the control of the parties, the participant will be duly informed of the transfer of the service to a new domain. The only elements that will be modified are the clauses of this contract regarding the domain in which the Platform remains active.

Nevertheless, RPM-MKTG informs that, despite the fact that it continuously employs its best efforts to classify, filter and select the legal and illegal content published on the Website, this cannot be guaranteed on a continuous basis. If you detect any infringement in this regard we request you to notify us at the earliest opportunity, in accordance with the procedure described in section 9.

RPM-MKTG will not be held liable for the accuracy, integrity or updating of the information published on the Website from external sources. Neither will RPM-MKTG assume any liability regarding hypothetical damages that may arise through the use of this information.

If any participant does not comply with one or other of his/her obligations or hampers compliance with them, s/he will be answerable for any damages caused, both for consequent damages and loss of earnings.

16. APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND LAW

The sections in these Terms should be interpreted independently and autonomously. No other clauses are affected in the event of one or other of them being declared null and void as a result of a court ruling or final arbitration award. The affected clause or clauses will be replaced by another or others that maintain the effects pursed by the Terms of Use.

The non-exercise by RPM-MKTG of any right or provision contained in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of the same, unless it expressly states such a waiver in writing.

Regardless of the geographical location of the participant or his/her nationality, and provided that the legislation envisages the possibility that the parties can submit to a particular jurisdiction, for any litigation or conflict that affects the Website, the current Spanish legislation will be applicable at the time of litigation, the competence for the resolution of any conflict arising from or related to the use of the Platform corresponding to the Law Courts of Madrid (Spain).
