TERMS OF USE OF THE CONTENT
Busquets Law and Finance, S.L.P. provides, on the Website, information relating to legal or economic questions, relating to the professional activity of the partnership, provided only for information. The User must take into account that the content may not show the most recent legislative and case-law situation of the matters analysed, so it is solely the User’s responsibility to analyse their currency.
The materials contained in this Website do not constitute the provision of a service of legal or financial advice, and the contents shall not be considered, under any circumstance, as replacing professional advice or any advice. Access to them is free and does not involve any relation between Busquets Law and Finance, S.L.P. and the User, nor any other kind of relationship of trust or professional relation between the partnership and the Website User. The information of the content is insufficient to make any kind of decisions, so the User should not act exclusively on the basis of such information without previously obtaining the corresponding legal advice and duly assessing the information requested or any other items that may affect the decision.
