2. Purpose.
2.1. These terms and conditions are intended to regulate the relationship between TWT and the User regarding access to this Website and the electronic contracting of services consisting of the purchase of tickets (access rights and complementary services) for the tours offered on this Website (hereinafter, Services).
By accessing this Website or contracting Services, the User expressly accepts all clauses of these terms and conditions, its privacy policy, and its cookie policy, as well as any specific conditions established for the use of certain services. If the User does not accept any of these clauses, they must refrain from accessing this Website and contracting the Services.

2.4. The User undertakes to observe and comply with any legal provision applicable to access to this Website or to the contracting of the Services.

3. Nature and scope of the service provision.
The nature of the contractual obligation assumed by TWT varies depending on the execution model of the service selected by the User. For the purpose of determining the correct execution of the contract and the validity of any claim or dispute, the following modalities are established:
3.1. Direct Execution Modality (Delivery of Digital Assets: Tickets and Audioguides).
For services whose main provision consists of the delivery of access tickets, audioguides or other digital resources directly by our entity:
- Scope of the obligation: The obligation of Feel The City Tours is limited to generating and making these digital assets available to the User.
- Completion of the provision: The service shall be considered fully provided and the contract executed at the moment the assets are sent through the digital channels provided by the User (email, SMS or instant messaging).
- Proof of compliance: The outgoing records and delivery logs from our communication systems shall constitute full and reliable proof of service delivery, regardless of whether the User effectively downloads or views them.
3.2. Management and Mediation Modality (Services with Ticket Delivery by Third Parties).
For those services (guided tours, private visits or activities) where the physical delivery of access tickets or the execution of the activity depends on a third party (official guide, monument provider or external collaborator):
- Scope of the obligation: The obligation of Feel The City Tours is defined as a management and assurance obligation. The service consists of: (i) processing the booking with the final provider, (ii) verifying that the data supplied by the User is suitable for formalizing the service, and (iii) issuing the booking confirmation.
- Completion of the provision: The service of Feel The City Tours shall be considered completed and duly executed at the moment the "Booking Confirmation" is sent to the User.
- Exemption from liability after confirmation: Once the booking confirmation has been issued, the availability of physical tickets or the execution of the tour at the meeting point forms part of the operational dynamics of the final service. Therefore, the User acknowledges that Feel The City Tours has fulfilled its contractual commitment once the place has been secured and the confirmation notified, and the bank charge may not be disputed due to incidents unrelated to said booking management.
3.3. Pre-contractual Information and Acceptance
Before completing the purchase, the User has access to the full description of the contracted service, including the scope of TWT’s obligations according to the selected modality. Completion of the payment process implies express acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, with such acceptance being recorded in Feel The City Tours’ system as part of the transaction record.
This step is essential and prior to purchase confirmation.
The access tickets to the monument are nominative, personal and non-transferable and will only be issued with this complete and verified information.
If the User provides incorrect, incomplete or false data, TWT shall not be responsible for the non-issuance of tickets or the impossibility of accessing the monument. In such case, the User shall not be entitled to a refund, modification or access.
Therefore:
Failure to receive the ticket before said period does not constitute a breach by TWT.
Any claim or dispute initiated before the established delivery period shall be considered unfounded, since the User has expressly accepted this policy when completing the purchase.
