Legal notice

1.1In this notice: the Site means the website published at www.ittaisavran.com, in either language, together with every page, article, image and document forming part of it; the Publisher, I and me mean Ittai Savran, identified in clause 2; you means any person who accesses or uses the Site; the Articles means the written pieces published in the insights section of the Site; and an Engagement means a scope of work agreed in writing and signed by the Publisher and a client.

1.2Headings are for convenience only and do not affect the construction of this notice. A reference to a clause is a reference to a clause of this notice.

1.3Where this notice excludes or limits something to the fullest extent permitted by law, it is to be read as excluding or limiting only so far as the law permits, and otherwise as if the offending words were not present.

2.1The Site is published by Ittai Savran, holder of Spanish tax identification number Y7513137V, with professional address at Modolell 6, 08021 Barcelona, Spain, acting in his own name as an independent consultant and not through a company.

2.2The Publisher's activity is consulting on operations, structures and transactions in the hospitality and real estate sectors. The Publisher is not a lawyer, an architect, a licensed valuer, a tax adviser, an estate agent, or a regulated financial or investment adviser, and does not hold himself out as any of them.

2.3The contact page of the Site lists every means of contacting the Publisher. This clause is published in compliance with article 10 of Spanish Law 34/2002 of 11 July, on information society services and electronic commerce.

3.1Access to and use of the Site are voluntary. By accessing or using the Site you accept this notice and the privacy notice, in the versions published at the moment of your access.

3.2If you do not accept them, you must not use the Site.

3.3This notice applies to every page and document of the Site, in either language, and to any communication sent to the Publisher through it.

4.1The Site is informational. It describes an independent consulting practice, the work that practice does, and how to make contact with it.

4.2Nothing published on the Site is an offer, an invitation to contract, a quotation, a recommendation, a solicitation or a proposal capable of acceptance, and no contract arises from your use of the Site.

4.3The Publisher may change, move, suspend or withdraw the Site or any part of it, including any Article, at any time and without notice, and is under no obligation to keep any material available.

5.1Nothing published on the Site is legal, planning, urbanistic, tax, accounting, valuation, financing or investment advice, and none of it may be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a professional qualified in the relevant field and jurisdiction and instructed on your own circumstances.

5.2No professional relationship, retainer or duty of care arises from your reading the Site, from your writing to the Publisher, or from any reply you may receive before an Engagement has been signed.

5.3Regulatory, planning and market questions turn on facts the Publisher does not know: the property, the parties, the dates, the documents and the jurisdiction. Material written for a general audience cannot take them into account and does not attempt to.

5.4Before acting upon anything published on the Site you must take your own professional advice and verify the position against the current official text of the rule in question.

6.1Where work is agreed, its terms are set out in the Engagement: scope and exclusions, fees, timing, responsibilities, confidentiality, liability, insurance and termination. Those terms are negotiated and agreed case by case.

6.2The Engagement constitutes the entire agreement between the Publisher and the client and prevails over the Site in its entirety. Nothing published on the Site forms part of an Engagement, adds to it, varies it, or may be relied upon as a term of it.

6.3No description of past work published on the Site is a commitment as to the scope, the conduct or the outcome of any future Engagement.

6.4Communications, deliverables, data and confidentiality within an Engagement are governed by that Engagement. This notice governs only your use of the Site.

7.1The Articles describe legislation, planning rules, case law and administrative practice. Each reflects the Publisher's understanding at the date shown upon it, drawn from the sources cited in it, and is written for a general audience rather than as a statement of the law.

7.2Rules of that kind are amended, suspended, annulled and replaced frequently, and are applied differently by different authorities. An Article accurate on the day of its publication may be wrong within the month, and some material on the Site is already out of date.

7.3The Publisher gives no undertaking to review, update or correct any Article after publication. The continued presence of an Article on the Site is not a representation that it remains current, and a date shown on a page records when that page was written, not that its contents have since been verified.

7.4An external source cited in an Article is cited as it stood at the date of that Article. You must consult the official text yourself before relying upon it.

8.1Figures, metrics, case studies, examples and descriptions of past work published on the Site are indicative and illustrative only.

8.2They may be rounded, approximated, simplified, restated, aggregated, anonymised or otherwise adjusted for presentation, and may be updated, revised or withdrawn at any time and without notice.

8.3They describe particular assignments carried out in particular conditions, for particular clients, at particular times. Those conditions do not repeat, and past results are not a guide to future results.

8.4No figure or example published on the Site is a forecast, a projection, a budget, a target, a guarantee, a warranty or a representation as to what any business, asset or operation would achieve, and none may be used as an input to a valuation, an underwriting model, a business plan or an investment decision.

9.1You may read, print and quote from the Site for your own professional or personal use, subject to clause 10.

9.2You must not use the Site for any unlawful purpose, interfere with its operation or its security, attempt to obtain unauthorised access to it, or use it in any manner that damages or overloads it.

9.3Systematic or automated extraction of the contents of the Site, including scraping, bulk copying, framing, republication, and the use of its text or images to train or fine-tune a machine learning model, is prohibited without the prior written consent of the Publisher.

9.4The Publisher expressly reserves the rights conferred by article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 in respect of text and data mining, and this clause constitutes an express reservation for that purpose.

10.1The text, the Articles, the design, the structure, the images and any other material on the Site belong to the Publisher or are used with permission, save where a piece credits the publication in which it first appeared, and are protected by intellectual property law.

10.2Quotation of a passage with attribution and a link to the source page is permitted and requires no further consent.

10.3Reproduction of an entire Article, its translation, its adaptation, or its publication elsewhere in whole or in substantial part requires the written consent of the Publisher.

10.4Third party names, marks and logos appearing on the Site belong to their respective owners and are used solely to identify them.

11.1The Site is made available as it is and as it happens to be available. The Publisher does not warrant that it will be available without interruption, free of errors or defects, secure, or compatible with any particular device or browser.

11.2The Publisher does not warrant that the contents of the Site are accurate, complete, current or fit for any purpose, and to the fullest extent permitted by law all warranties, conditions and undertakings that would otherwise be implied are excluded.

12.1To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Publisher accepts no liability for any loss or damage of any kind arising out of or in connection with the use of the Site, or with reliance upon anything published on it, whether by you or by any person to whom you communicate it.

12.2That exclusion covers, without limitation, lost profits, lost revenue, lost opportunity, loss or corruption of data, wasted expenditure, business interruption, reputational harm, and any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, whether or not foreseeable and whether the claim is framed in contract, in tort, in negligence, in restitution or otherwise.

12.3Any decision you take after reading the Site, including any decision to buy, sell, refurbish, convert, let, finance, price or operate a property or a business, is your own decision, taken upon your own assessment and your own professional advice, and at your own risk.

12.4Nothing in this notice excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for wilful misconduct, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability reserved to a consumer by mandatory Spanish law.

12.5Each part of this clause is severable from the others. If any part is held unenforceable, the remainder continues to apply.

13.1The Site links to websites, documents and official publications that the Publisher does not control. Those links are provided for convenience and as sources, and do not constitute an endorsement of the site, its operator or its contents.

13.2The Publisher is not responsible for the availability, the accuracy, the lawfulness or the contents of any external site, nor for anything that occurs upon it. Following an external link is your own decision, and the terms and privacy notice of that site apply to you there.

14.1Electronic mail and the contact form are ordinary means of communication and are neither secure nor confidential.

14.2You must not send through the Site any material subject to professional privilege, personal data concerning third parties, health data or other special categories of data, credentials, or anything whose disclosure would harm you or another person.

14.3Sending a message does not create a professional relationship, does not oblige the Publisher to reply, and does not place the Publisher under any duty of confidence before an Engagement has been signed.

14.4Unsolicited proposals, ideas or materials are sent at your own risk and are not treated as confidential.

15.1Personal data collected through the Site are processed as described in the privacy notice, which forms part of this notice and is accepted together with it.

16.1The Publisher may amend this notice at any time, to reflect a change in the Site, in the practice, or in the law. The version in force is the one published on the Site, identified by the version number and the date at the head of this page.

16.2Continued use of the Site after an amendment constitutes acceptance of the amended version. Earlier versions are not archived on the Site.

17.1If any provision of this notice is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force, and the invalid provision is to be replaced by a valid provision coming as close as possible to its intended effect.

17.2A failure or delay by the Publisher in enforcing any provision is not a waiver of it, and no single or partial exercise of any right prevents its further exercise.

17.3Nothing published on the Site creates a partnership, a joint venture, an agency or an employment relationship between the Publisher and any other person.

18.1This notice is published in English and in Spanish. In the event of any discrepancy between the two versions, the Spanish version prevails.

18.2This notice, and any dispute or claim arising out of it or out of the use of the Site, including non-contractual disputes or claims, are governed by Spanish law.

18.3The parties submit to the courts of the city of Barcelona, Spain, waiving any other jurisdiction that might apply. Where you use the Site as a consumer, this clause does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country of your habitual residence, nor of your right to bring proceedings before the courts of that country.
