These General Terms and Conditions of Use (the "Terms") constitute a binding legal agreement entered into by and between BL Platform, S.L., a company duly incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, with Tax ID (NIF, provisional) B88709738 and registered office at Carrer de Lepant, 270, 08013 Barcelona, Spain (the "Provider", "B'local", "we", "us" or "our"), and any natural or legal person accessing or using the website accessible at venture-local-app.lovable.app (the "Website"; the user thereof, the "User", "you" or "your").
These Terms govern exclusively the use of the Website. The B'local mobile application is governed by a separate set of in-app terms and conditions which prevail with respect to that environment.
1. Acceptance and amendment
Access to and use of the Website implies the User's full, unconditional and unreserved acceptance of these Terms in the version published at the time of access. The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time, with such amendments entering into force on the date of their publication on the Website. Continued use of the Website following such publication shall constitute acceptance of the amended Terms.
2. Definitions
- "Services" means the functionalities made available by the Provider through the Website, including the business application form, account management dashboard, listing publication and the corresponding subscription plans.
- "Content" means any text, image, photograph, trade mark, logotype, data or other material made available through the Website, whether by the Provider or by a User.
- "Subscription" means any paid plan contracted by a User pursuant to Clause 5.
3. Eligibility and capacity
The User represents and warrants that (i) they are of legal age (at least eighteen (18) years old) and have full legal capacity to enter into binding contracts; and (ii) where they act on behalf of a legal entity, they hold sufficient and unrevoked authority to bind such entity to these Terms.

- The User is solely responsible for the safekeeping of their access credentials and for any activity carried out under their account. Any unauthorised use shall be notified immediately to legal@blocalapp.com.
- The Provider reserves the absolute right to review, accept, reject or remove any application or listing, in whole or in part, without obligation to state the grounds therefor, where such action is necessary in order to comply with applicable law, these Terms or its editorial standards.
5. Subscription plans, fees and payment
- The Standard plan is currently offered free of charge. The Premium plan is offered at a price of nine euros and ninety-nine cents (EUR 9.99) per month, following a complimentary trial period of one (1) month, billed on a recurring monthly basis through Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd.
- All prices are stated exclusive of any applicable indirect taxes, which shall be added at the rate in force at the time of invoicing.
- The User may cancel any active Subscription at any time from the account dashboard. Cancellation shall take effect at the end of the then-current billing cycle. In accordance with Article 103(a) of Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, the User expressly acknowledges that, with respect to digital services fully performed during the billing cycle, no pro-rata refund shall be granted for the unused fraction of such cycle.
- The Provider reserves the right to amend the prices of the Subscriptions, with any such amendment being notified to the User in advance and applying solely to subsequent billing cycles.
6. Right of withdrawal
Users acting in the capacity of consumers may withdraw from a Subscription contract within fourteen (14) calendar days from its conclusion, without need to state any reason and without incurring any cost other than those provided for in Articles 107(2) and 108 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007. By expressly requesting the immediate commencement of the Services, the User acknowledges that they shall lose the right of withdrawal once the Services have been fully performed.
7. Acceptable use
The User undertakes not to:
- submit false, inaccurate, misleading, defamatory or unlawful Content, or Content that infringes third-party rights, in particular intellectual or industrial property rights;
- attempt to access, alter, disrupt, overload, scrape, decompile or reverse engineer the Website or any of its components;
- circumvent, deactivate or interfere with security, rate-limiting or human-verification mechanisms (including Cloudflare Turnstile);

8. Intellectual and industrial property
- All intellectual and industrial property rights over the Website and its components (including without limitation source code, design, structure, trademarks, logotypes and trade names) are the exclusive property of the Provider or of its licensors. No provision of these Terms shall be construed as a transfer of such rights to the User.
- The User retains ownership of the Content uploaded by them and grants the Provider a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence, for the duration of the legal protection of the rights involved, to host, reproduce, adapt, communicate to the public and distribute such Content to the extent strictly necessary for the operation and promotion of the Services.

The User may terminate their account at any time from the account dashboard.
10. Warranties and disclaimers
The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Provider disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or implied, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and uninterrupted availability.

Under no circumstances shall the Provider be liable for indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, loss of profits, loss of business opportunities or loss of data.
12. Force majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder where such failure or delay results from causes beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, governmental actions, war, civil unrest, pandemics, telecommunications failures or cyber-attacks.
13. Personal data
The processing of personal data carried out in the framework of these Terms is governed by our Privacy Policy, which the User declares to have read and accepted prior to the use of the Services.
14. Severability
Should any provision of these Terms be declared null, void or unenforceable by a competent authority, such declaration shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall be replaced or integrated in such manner as to preserve, to the extent possible, the original intent of the parties.
15. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Spain. Any dispute arising out of or in connection herewith shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals of the city corresponding to the registered office of the Provider, without prejudice to the mandatory rights granted to consumers by the laws of their country of habitual residence. In accordance with Regulation (EU) 524/2013, consumers may also have recourse to the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform, available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
