-P-
What is BLUEQUO's responsibility?


We operate under the principle that BLUEQUO always tries to do its work to the best of its ability and, therefore, we undertake to apply reasonable care and skill in performing any obligation under this Agreement, and not to act contrary to due professional diligence in our work.

Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit our Liability for (i) fraud; (ii) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (iii) gross misconduct on our part, excluding gross misconduct not attributable to BLUEQUO itself; or (iv) any liability which cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law. In any case, the User is obliged to take the necessary steps to avoid or reduce damages.

Since we do not only offer the Website and Services for your commercial and/or professional use, BLUEQUO will never be liable for:

The loss of income or revenue.

Actual or anticipated loss of profits.

Loss of business.

Indirect or consequential losses, understood as losses arising from consequences, whether these losses are foreseeable, known, foreseen or of any other kind.

BLUEQUO will make every effort to ensure access to and the proper functioning of the Website and the Services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

However, in view of the constraints linked to the Internet, the Company cannot exclude that access to and operation of the Website and the Services may be interrupted, in particular during maintenance operations aimed at improving the Website and the Services, in the event of force majeure, malfunction of the User's equipment and breakdowns of the User's Internet network.

Consequently, the Company shall not be held liable for any interruption of the Services, whether voluntary or otherwise, provided that it undertakes to make every effort to limit the interruptions that may be attributed to it.

The Company shall provide Freelancers and Clients with tools and technical means enabling them to contact each other for the purpose of concluding a service contract through the Site. Its responsibility is limited to the provision of these means as described in this document and to intermediation between Freelancers and Clients.

In particular, the Company is not responsible for the frequency of presentation of Freelance profiles on its Site.

The Company and the User are independent parties, each acting in its own name and on its own account.

The Company does not enter into any contract in the name and/or on behalf of a Freelancer or a Client. They contract directly with each other through the Website.

Consequently, the Company cannot in any case be considered as an employee/employer or agent of a User.

Since the Company is not a party to contracts relating to a Project entered into between Freelancers and Clients, the latter are solely responsible for any difficulties, claims and disputes that may arise in the conclusion and/or execution of such contracts. Therefore, each User releases the Company from all liability for any direct or indirect consequences resulting directly or indirectly from the communication, execution and/or conclusion of a contract between a Freelancer and a Client.

Therefore, the Company cannot be held responsible for any cancellation of payment or withdrawal authorization on the initiative of the Client alone, and the consequences that may result therefrom.

The Company will make every effort to ensure the content and validity of the information and documents provided by Freelancers on the Site when they are established in Spain. However, the Company cannot be held liable in any way for failure to comply with the obligations incumbent upon them, and in particular in the context of the fight against the black economy.

Therefore, the Company cannot be held liable for false, misleading or deceptive information communicated to it by the Freelancer.

Furthermore, the Company reserves the right not to transmit to Freelancers messages from Clients if they do not respect the conditions of use of the Website.

In any case, BLUEQUO may act as mediator in disputes between Freelancers and Clients, as set out in these GTCU.

What about Cookies?


This Website uses Cookies to improve and optimize the User's experience. Below, you will find detailed information on what "Cookies" are, what type this Website uses, how you can disable them in your browser and how to specifically block the installation of third-party Cookies.

Cookies are files that the Website or the application you use installs in your browser or on your device (smartphone, tablet or connected TV) during your visit to the pages or application and serve to store information about your visit. Like most sites on the Internet, the BLUEQUO site uses Cookies to:

Ensure that the web pages can function correctly.

To store your preferences: selected language, font size, etc.

Know your browsing experience.

Collect anonymous statistical information, such as which pages you have viewed or how long you have been on our media.

The use of Cookies allows us to optimize your navigation, adapting the information and services offered to your interests, to provide you with a better experience whenever you visit us.

BLUEQUO uses Cookies to function, adapt and facilitate the User's navigation to the maximum.

Cookies are only associated with an anonymous user and your computer/device and do not provide references that allow us to know personal data. At any time you can access your browser settings to modify and / or block the installation of cookies sent by the BLUEQUO website, without preventing access to content. However, the quality of the functioning of the Services may be affected.

Users who complete the registration process or have logged in with their access data will be able to access personalized services tailored to their preferences according to the personal information provided at the time of registration and stored in the Cookie of their browser.

BLUEQUO's email-marketing tools use small images invisible to users that are included in emails. This technology allows us to know if an email has been read or not, on what date, the IP address from which it has been consulted, etc. With this information, we perform statistical and analytical studies on sending and receiving emails to improve the supply of services subscribed by the user and provide information of interest to you.

Cookies are important for these reasons:

From a technical point of view, they allow websites to work more agile and adapted to user preferences, such as storing the language, the currency of the country or detecting the access device.

They establish levels of protection and security that prevent or hinder cyber-attacks against the website or its users.

They allow the managers of the media to know statistical data collected in the Cookies to improve the quality and experience of their services.

They serve to optimize the advertising we show to users, offering the one that best suits their interests.

Having explained what Cookies are and their importance, we want to know what types of Cookies there are:

Session Cookies, which expire when the User leaves the page or closes the browser, i.e., they are active for the duration of the visit to the Website and are therefore deleted from our computer when the User leaves it.

The permanent ones, which expire when the purpose for which they are used is fulfilled or when they are manually deleted, have a deletion date and are normally used in the online purchase process, personalization or registration, so as not to have to enter our password constantly.

On the other hand, depending on the entity that manages the equipment or domain from which the Cookies are sent and treats the data obtained, we can distinguish between first-party and third-party Cookies.

Own Cookies, which are those Cookies that are sent to your computer and managed exclusively by us for the better functioning of the Website. The information we collect is used to improve the quality of our service and your user experience.

If you interact with the content of our website, third-party cookies may also be set (for example, when you click on social media buttons), which are those set by a domain other than our website, and whose stored data we cannot access.

Browsing this Website implies that the following types of Cookies may be installed:






















Some BLUEQUO services may use connectors with various social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. By using the social register, you authorize the social network to store a persistent Cookie. This Cookie remembers your identification on the service, making access much faster on subsequent visits. This Cookie can be deleted, and, in addition, you can override the access permissions of BLUEQUO services from the privacy settings of the specific social network.

Can I configure my Cookies?

Yes, by browsing and continuing on our website you will be consenting to the use of Cookies under the conditions contained in this Cookies Policy. BLUEQUO provides access to this Cookie Policy at the time of the registration in order that the user is informed, and without prejudice to the user's right to block, delete and reject the use of Cookies at any time. In any case, we inform you that, since Cookies are not necessary for the use of our website, you can block or disable them by activating the settings of your browser, which allows you to reject the installation of all or some of the Cookies. Most browsers allow you to be warned of the presence of Cookies or to reject them automatically. If you reject them you will still be able to use our Website, although the use of some of its services may be limited and therefore your experience on our Website will be less satisfactory.
