  • a. Access to a respository of software content classified by category. This includes the download of software from ZOOLITY’s servers with the highest assurance of availability and/or speed that this may involve.

1.2 Liability for the processing and use of content

ZOOLITY does not guarantee the quality, accuracy, reliability, correctness, or morality of the data, programs, information, or opinions included on the site and in particular those expressed or entered in user forums or opinions. However, users may report presumed abuses or inappropriate uses of the site to allow ZOOLITY to review the corresponding content. In relation to the content and programs available for free download, ZOOLITY limits itself to offering an intermediary service, as established in Article 17 of Law 34/2002 of 11 July on Information Society Services and E-Commerce (‘LSSI’), by providing links and search content, while not assuming liability for said content beyond the cases expressly provided for in the aforementioned law; that is, ZOOLITY shall only accept liability when it (i) has actual knowledge that the activity or information being reported or referred is illegal or harms the assets or rights of a third party covered by compensation, and (ii) has not acted with diligence to remove or disable the corresponding link. The service provider shall be understood to have actual knowledge when a competent authority has declared the data illegal or ordered its withdrawal, or access to said data has become impossible, or the existence of the damage has been declared, and the service provider is aware of the corresponding resolution.

An identical system to the one established in the previous paragraph applies to other links to third-party sites that may be available on ZOOLITY. The inclusion of such links does not imply any relationship, recommendation, or supervision by ZOOLITY of the destination page, and ZOOLITY therefore accepts no liability for its content, except in such cases as expressly established in the LSSI.

The apps published on ZOOLITY are products created by their respective developers. This website is not directly affiliated with them. All of the brands, trademarks, product and company names or logos mentioned here are property of their respective owners. Our download site and app distribute original, unaltered software, which is obtained directly from the developers’ websites and is not modified in any way.

The user assumes as his or her exclusive liability any consequences, damages, or actions that may arise from accessing, playing, or disseminating said content. It is the responsibility of the user to verify, prior to downloading, the compatibility of the program with his or her computer and other applications, as well as its features and the advantages of downloading and installing the program on his or her system. Likewise, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the download and use of ZOOLITY content is legal and appropriate in the user’s location and personal circumstances.

ZOOLITY shall not be held liable for the infringements of any developer, programmer, or user that affect the rights of another ZOOLITY user, or of a third party, including rights related to copyright, trademarks, patents, confidential information, or any other intellectual or industrial property rights.

This limited guarantee and limitation of liability mentioned in the preceding paragraphs shall neither affect nor prejudice the obligatory rights extended by place of residence and applicable by direct application of Spanish mandatory law or by the forwarding of Spanish law to the laws of another jurisdiction for specific cases.

1.4 Unauthorized use of the ZOOLITY website or its content

The user may not employ the facilities and capacities of the ZOOLITY site to carry out or propose activities prohibited by law, or to attempt to attract site users to competitor services, or to advertise the sale of products or services for commercial purposes. The user shall refrain from interfering with ZOOLITY or other users’ use of the ZOOLITY site, and in particular from impersonating another user or person while using the portal.

1.6 Service suspensions

Zoolity may unilaterally cease to provide to any or all users the services and/or products offered via the ZOOLITY website.

In cases of service interruption to a particular user, a simple notification to the user shall suffice for said interruption, for any situation involving noncompliance with the terms of use or with any applicable regulation. The user accepts that Zoolity shall incur no liability on the occasion of a suspension on these terms.

Additionally, Zoolity may at any time, and incurring no liability, vary the content of ZOOLITY, interrupt the provision of all or some services, and/or deactivate or delete all or some user accounts without further limitations beyond those established by applicable laws on the requirement to maintain logs of certain operations during the corresponding legal time periods.

1.7 Applicable law and jurisdiction
