For merely clarifying purposes, it is made clear that the Holder in no case sells or resells the tickets to the Monument, nor makes available to the User a service of electronic sale of the same, since the Holder does not acquire the tickets to the Monument to later resell them to the User, but acquires them as a representative of the same through the corresponding voluntary, express, special, remunerated and representative mandate, circumscribing the commercial activity of the Holder to the provision of a service of management and customer service.
In addition, the service provided by the Holder has a wide added value, which is substantiated in all of the following:
a) The Contractor provides the User with a free prior consultation service, prior to contracting. Thus, if the User wishes to obtain any type of information related to the tickets of the Monument, he/she will be advised beforehand and free of charge by e mail.
b) The Holder will verify that the data entered by the User in the corresponding form are consistent with the contracted service. If necessary, the Holder will contact the User again in order to verify them, before starting the entrusted management.

c) The Holder provides a personalized service.
d) The Contractor has a wide experience in the field of reference, which implies that it is in disposition and that it has sufficient and adequate means to achieve the success of the contracted service.
e) The Contractor assumes the responsibility for the correct execution of the entrusted management, thus ensuring that it is completely adjusted to the needs of the User, and therefore maintains an express and clear commitment on the delivery time of the tickets to the Monument, all without prejudice to the provisions of the following stipulation 12 of these Terms and Conditions.
f) The Holder, in addition to executing the entrusted management efficiently and diligently, makes available to the User a customer service from 9 am to 7 pm 7 days a week.
