All data collected will be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy of the WEBSITE. Secondly, the data required for payment of the selected service will be requested by credit card only and through the payment gateway established for this purpose. Likewise, the data collected will be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy of the WEBSITE. The bookings by the USER will be subject to the specific terms and conditions the suppliers or organisers of said products or services establish for each case, and which are provided for in the following clause. Likewise, you agree to accept and respect these booking terms and conditions, including but not limited to compliance with any rules and restrictions regarding the availability of rates, products or services. The USER will give their consent by clicking on the "Make a purchase" button, which appears at the bottom of the page where payment details are requested. Said confirmation will be sent electronically to HOTUSA, who will take care of its storage and conservation to guarantee the process. The confirmation of the purchase by the service provider will imply, in any case, the completion of the contract, and the commitment by the client to the accrual of the established amounts. Once consent has been given, a page confirming the purchase will be displayed on the screen, and an e-mail will be sent to the client with the relevant information. 5. SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. The specific conditions of each service, including, among others, prices, changes, cancellations, and other aspects not covered by these General Terms and Conditions, will be governed by the provisions of the corresponding service providers, and will be subject to modifications for which HOTUSA as a mere intermediary accepts no obligation or responsibility. Said Specific Conditions shall be understood as accepted in accordance with the provisions of the preceding clause. In the event that these specific conditions do not allow changes or cancellations by the client, the client will not be entitled to a refund of the amount paid to HOTUSA for the booking. 6. OBLIGATIONS OF HOTUSA. HOTUSA is bound to the following: Make every effort in carrying out the necessary procedures to finalise the acquisition by the USER of the service contracted by them through the WEBSITE.

The USER agrees to the following: - Pay the corresponding amounts, including taxes and fees. - Be personally accountable for the authenticity of the data provided, as well as for the correlation of said data with their identity on expressing consent and making the payment. - Accept any responsibility arising from the non-possession of the documentation required to use the contracted service, making sure they are informed of the requirements in this regard, and expressly including those referring to border access to third countries. - Comply with the other obligations set out in these General Terms and Conditions, as well as in the Specific Conditions laid down in the Fifth Clause. 8. RESPONSIBILITIES. The parties acknowledge that HOTUSA, given its condition as a mere intermediary between service providers and the USER, is solely responsible with regards to the same in the terms provided in the applicable legislation on travel agencies. Likewise, it is recognised that HOTUSA cannot guarantee the absolute continuity of the service or the absence of computer viruses in the services provided through its network, which may damage the programmes or documents stored in its information systems, although it make every effort to prevent these circumstances from occurring.

If due to force majeure (including but not limited to political or economic disorders or instabilities that affect security), deficiencies in bookings, confirmations and/or execution of any trips or services contracted through HOTUSA, for circumstances that are not foreseeable or solvable by HOTUSA or if even the fulfilment of some of the agreed services is impossible, the client waives to file any type of claim against HOTUSA and/or the companies of the HOTUSA group, currently or in the future, for these deficiencies or breaches, unless a lack of professional diligence by HOTUSA is determined. 9.

HOTUSA may unilaterally modify, at any time it deems necessary, these General Terms and Conditions, as well as introduce new clauses in them. These modifications must be announced on the homepage of the WEBSITE with a notice of two (2) weeks, and in no case will they affect the contractual relationships completed prior to them. 12. DATA PROTECTION..

    A world in disorder

    Foro La Toja-Vínculo Atlántico once again turns its attention to the uncertainties that define the current moment. The challenges and issues that we have highlighted in previous editions remain present; populism, problems of growth and equality, the profound transformation brought about by the development of artificial intelligence, and the crisis of multilateralism are phenomena that, far from disappearing, are showing an increasing influence on our societies.

    The motto of this new edition, “A World in Disorder”, may appear to be a sombre expression, but it simply reflects the intensity of the transformations we are witnessing. A World in Disorder refers to the rapid changes taking place, but it also points to the absence of moral certainties that might help us navigate this situation.

    Wherever we turn our attention, we encounter a worrying reality; this is evident in the rise of illiberal policies and parties that reject the broad consensus on which our prosperity was built over decades, as well as in the limitations faced by governments when addressing the reforms required to ensure stable growth or to respond to increasingly pressing social challenges. Concern is also generated by the disregard shown by major powers towards the old rules-based international order, as well as by technological development that remains insensitive to the fundamental values of human dignity.

    The world today is in disorder, yes. But this does not mean that we are inevitably condemned to a worse future. Our commitment and the dialogue that we promote from Foro La Toja-Vínculo Atlántico aim to contribute to laying the foundations of a new order that represents another step forward in humanity’s history of progress.

    Our first focus is the situation of the Atlantic Link, a historic alliance that is a central part of our vision, although it is currently not experiencing its strongest moment. Beyond changing political circumstances, we continue to believe in the relevance and validity of this bond. Europe and America share far more than a common defence framework or privileged trade relations. The foundations and principles of this Western alliance must be preserved as the best guarantee for addressing the challenges we face.

    Among these challenges, above all, stands the war in Ukraine, an existential issue for the invaded country and for European democracies as a whole. In a battered yet heroic Ukraine, and through the use of entirely revolutionary military technologies, a conflict is being fought that will largely determine the future security of the European continent and its defence model. European countries, so often criticised under different circumstances, have managed to assume the leading role that Washington stepped away from in the necessary solidarity with the Ukrainian people. Despite this, Ukraine is no longer perceived as a burden for the European Union, but rather as the most agile and effective military power on the continent, an indispensable partner in any future vision of European defence.

    Meanwhile, the United States is moving towards midterm elections that are expected to be among the most decisive of recent years. The hyperbolic rhetoric of the Trump model and its adventurous approach to foreign policy face the unavoidable challenge of confronting propaganda with real results in governance. The Trump administration, like many others across the developed world, is facing the burden of the word “affordability”: the ongoing loss of real purchasing power among the middle classes.

    The global economic debate is once again turning towards industrial policies as the main driver of the quality jobs that are so urgently sought today. The new industrial policy goes beyond the traditional scope to include new sectors such as construction, agriculture, tourism and cities, and is emerging as a powerful tool for territorial cohesion. Today, all regional administrations are competing to create new innovation and competitiveness ecosystems within their territories based on this new concept of industrial policy.

    All these debates are also shaped by the development of Artificial Intelligence, a global phenomenon whose full dimensions are still unknown. The application of the almost unlimited capabilities of this technological development raises ethical, economic, social and strategic challenges. It is essential to ask, as Pope Leo XIV has done in his encyclical Magnífica Humanitas, about the moral and humanistic boundaries that should define the deployment of an Artificial Intelligence that is reaching maturity. A large part of this enormous global conversation can be reduced to a major unanswered question: who should safeguard the ethical limits of these extraordinary capabilities: public authorities with increasingly autocratic tendencies, or private initiative, which ultimately follows only the rules of the market?

    While these debates accumulate across Western societies, Spain is experiencing a situation of political deadlock that appears impossible to resolve. The majority that supported the President’s investiture refuses to renew the confidence required to advance his government initiatives, while at the same time refusing to withdraw that confidence through the constitutional mechanisms available. Whatever the date of the next general elections, the next edition of Foro La Toja-Vínculo Atlántico will take place in a new political scenario. We therefore face an opportunity to reflect on the particular circumstances that have defined this atypical legislature.

    This World in Disorder, which we identify as the starting point for the debates at Foro La Toja-Vínculo Atlántico, is not an invitation to pessimism but to determination. It will not be today’s doubts and fears that define our future, but rather the clarity and effectiveness of the solutions we are capable of designing and implementing. Solutions that can only emerge from dialogue and the willingness to seek understanding — something that has always been one of the defining features of Foro La Toja-Vínculo Atlántico.
