Article 12 — Force majeure

Neither party may be held liable for failure to fulfil its obligations resulting from a force majeure event (natural disaster, administrative decision, conflict, pandemic, etc.) making performance of the contract impossible.

These GTC are governed by Spanish law. Failing amicable resolution, the competent courts are those of Málaga, subject to mandatory rules protecting the consumer in their country of residence.

It is not transferred to third parties for commercial purposes.
