Last Updated: March 12, 2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website operated by VYD GOURMET SL. and any content, materials, forms, or resources made available on or through it. By accessing or using this website, you confirm that you are at least 16 years old and that you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the website.

2. About VYD GOURMET SL.

VYD GOURMET SL. provides professional culinary education, gastronomy workshops, hospitality-focused training, and related educational resources available to participants across Canada. Our registered address is C. de Ramos Carrión, 6, 28002 Madrid, Spain. You can contact us at [email protected].

3. Nature of Services and No Professional Guarantees

The website presents educational programs, workshops, informational materials, and a means to request further details or initiate enrollment. All services and materials are provided solely for educational and professional development purposes. Our content is not a substitute for professional certification, licensing, or regulatory approvals. While programs are carefully structured and may include invited specialist contributions, participation does not guarantee specific culinary, professional, financial, business, employment, or personal outcomes. Results vary based on factors outside our control, including the participant’s effort, prior knowledge, and implementation environment.

4. Eligibility and Geographic Scope

Programs and services are offered for participants located across Canada, subject to availability, scheduling, and any stated prerequisites for advanced modules. Some offerings may include online components and guided assignments. We may decline, limit, or modify access where legally required, logistically impractical, or not aligned with the stated program parameters.

5. Informational Content and Changes

The website’s descriptions, syllabi summaries, durations, objectives, and schedules are provided for general information. We may update, correct, or refine content without notice to reflect curriculum improvements, specialist availability, or operational considerations. We may add, suspend, or discontinue any program or web feature at any time in our discretion.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the website or engage in activities that could harm its operation or other users. Prohibited activities include: reverse engineering, unauthorized scraping or data extraction, attempting to bypass security measures, introducing malware, using the website for spam or fraudulent solicitations, impersonating any person or entity, submitting false or misleading information, or using the site in violation of applicable laws, sanctions, or export controls.

7. Submissions and Communications

When you submit an inquiry or form, you agree that the information is accurate and that we may contact you using the details provided to facilitate your request. We may decline or discontinue communications that we reasonably consider abusive, irrelevant to our services, or non-compliant with these Terms of Use. Unsolicited ideas or proposals may be used without obligation to provide compensation, and no confidential relationship is created by your submission unless we explicitly agree in writing.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, icons, and layout, is owned by or licensed to VYD GOURMET SL. and protected by intellectual property laws. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view website content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, adapt, translate, publicly display, or create derivative works from the website or its contents without our prior written consent.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

The website may reference tools or third-party providers that support hosting, security, analytics, or marketing measurement. External websites or services are not controlled by VYD GOURMET SL., and we are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Your use of any third-party site or service is at your own risk and subject to that third party’s terms and policies.

10. Privacy and Cookies

Our data practices, including cookie usage and consent options, are described in our Privacy Policy. By using the website or submitting a form, you acknowledge that we will process your personal data as explained there. Where required, certain cookies or analytics/marketing technologies will only activate after you give consent, which you can manage at any time via the cookie preferences link in the footer.

11. Educational Disclaimers

  • Educational Purpose: All courses, materials, and resources are intended for learning and skill development only.
  • Specialist Contributions: Invited specialists and subject-matter experts act as educational contributors and presenters; they do not provide individualized professional advice.
  • No Outcome Guarantees: Participation does not assure certification, licensing, employment, or any specific result.
  • User Responsibility: You remain responsible for decisions, implementation, and compliance with applicable food safety or workplace requirements in your jurisdiction.

12. No Warranties

The website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, VYD GOURMET SL. disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that the site will be error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that defects will be corrected.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, VYD GOURMET SL. will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or service interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability for any claim relating to the website or these Terms of Use will not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount, if any, you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) €100 / $100 / £100 (as applicable). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations; in those cases, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless VYD GOURMET SL., its directors, officers, employees, and partners from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the website, your submissions, your violation of these Terms of Use, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

15. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the website or specific features if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms of Use or are using the site in a manner that could cause harm, legal exposure, or operational risk. Upon termination, provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will continue to apply.

16. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, fires, floods, pandemics, labor disputes, war, civil unrest, acts of government, power outages, telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, or third-party platform outages.

17. International Use and Compliance

The website may be accessible globally. We do not represent that content is appropriate or available in every jurisdiction. You are responsible for compliance with local laws, including those relating to privacy, online conduct, food safety education, and marketing communications. Access from territories where the site or content is illegal is prohibited.

18. Dispute Resolution

Before initiating any formal action, you agree to contact us at [email protected] and allow thirty (30) days to try to resolve the issue informally. If you reside in the United States, any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, and you waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. If you reside in the EEA or the UK, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, and nothing in these Terms of Use limits your consumer rights under applicable law.

19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Except as required by mandatory consumer protection rules, these Terms of Use and any dispute arising out of or relating to them are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to the dispute resolution clause above, the courts of Madrid, Spain, will have exclusive jurisdiction. EU/UK consumers may also benefit from rights in their home jurisdiction that cannot be waived by agreement.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms of Use from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the “Last Updated” date above and will take effect fourteen (14) days after posting, unless a different effective date is stated. Your continued use of the website following the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

21. Assignment

VYD GOURMET SL. may assign or transfer these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment without consent is void.

22. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

23. Entire Agreement and No Waiver

These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and VYD GOURMET SL. regarding your use of the website. No failure or delay by us in exercising any right shall be deemed a waiver of that right.

24. Contact Information
