20. All content of the Website, including, without limitation, texts, course listings, institution profiles, database structures, categorizations, classifications, reports, recommendation algorithms, suitability models, design, source code, interfaces, as well as the selection, arrangement, processing, enrichment and presentation of the information, is the exclusive property of MentorPlaces or of third parties who have authorized its use, and is protected by intellectual and industrial property regulations and by database protection legislation.

21. Although part of the information displayed may originate from public sources or third parties, the collection, selection, cleansing, structuring, verification, enrichment, combination and presentation of such data constitute a protected database under Spanish and European legislation, and MentorPlaces holds the exclusive rights of exploitation thereof.

22. It is expressly prohibited, without the prior written authorization of MentorPlaces:

• a. The extraction, reuse, copying, reproduction, downloading, indexing, redistribution, publication, transmission, sale, sublicensing or exploitation, in whole or in part, of the content or databases of the Website.

24. The use of the content, data, texts, listings, database structures, classifications, recommendations, results, interfaces or any other element of the Website, whether in whole or in part, for the training, fine-tuning, validation or improvement of artificial intelligence models, machine learning systems, language models, recommendation engines, search engines or other automated systems is expressly prohibited, regardless of whether such use is carried out by individuals, companies, technology platforms or third parties.

25. This prohibition also extends to the use of data mining techniques, large-scale data extraction, web scraping, automated indexing or any other technical method aimed at collecting, analyzing or reproducing the content or databases of the Website for the purposes of developing, training or exploiting artificial intelligence systems or derivative products.

26. Any unauthorized use of the content or databases of the Website for these purposes shall constitute an infringement of intellectual property rights, of “sui generis” database rights, and an act of unfair competition, entitling MentorPlaces to exercise all applicable legal actions, including actions for cessation, compensation for damages, and access blocking.

27. Any unauthorized use of the content, data structures or databases of the Website may give rise to the exercise by MentorPlaces of all applicable legal actions, including actions for infringement of intellectual property rights, “sui generis” database rights and acts of unfair competition, as well as claims for the corresponding damages.

28. MentorPlaces reserves the right to modify, suspend, update or remove, at any time and without prior notice, the structure, design, content, functionalities, services, tools, prices, access modalities or conditions of the Website, as well as to introduce new free or paid services.

Where changes materially affect the rights of registered Users or contracted services, MentorPlaces shall notify Users by such means as it deems appropriate.

Invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by valid provisions that most closely approximate the original economic and legal intent. The failure by MentorPlaces to exercise, at any time, any of the rights granted to it under these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights.

31. These Terms of Use shall be governed in all respects by Spanish law. For the resolution of any conflict, dispute or claim that may arise from access to, use of, or contracting of services through the Website, the parties expressly submit to the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Madrid, expressly waiving any other jurisdiction that may apply, except where mandatory consumer and user protection regulations require a different jurisdiction.

32. These Terms of Use shall enter into force as of their publication on the Website and shall apply to all Users from that date.

MentorPlaces reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time for legal, technical, commercial or service development reasons.
