In compliance with Law 34/2002 on information society services and electronic commerce (LSSI-CE), the owner of this website is Adrián Muñoz (Lascuarenta.es (The Forty)), domiciled in Spain, contact email hola@lascuarenta.es.

The service's main domain is https://lascuarenta.es (The Forty). Any communication regarding this legal notice can be sent to the email above.

Lascuarenta.es (The Forty) offers traditional Spanish-deck card games: Cuatrola, Tute, Guiñote, Brisca, Chinchón, Mus, Mentiroso, Pumba, Escoba and Solitaire. The service includes games against the computer, tables with other people, tutorials, friendly tournaments and a story mode.

This is not a gambling or betting service. On Lascuarenta.es (The Forty) no money is wagered, there are no cash prizes, and no in-game element can be converted into real money. Sotas are a decorative virtual currency, with no monetary value and no possibility of exchange or transfer between accounts.

Access to the site is free, except for the user's own connection costs. Some features (tables with other people, rankings, friends, tournaments and purchases) require prior registration.

Users agree to make lawful use of the service, not to impersonate other people, not to use programs or techniques that alter game outcomes, and not to post offensive content in player names or messages. Breach may result in temporary or permanent account suspension.

Detailed service conditions, including those on accounts, sanctions and purchases, are set out in the terms of use.

The name Lascuarenta.es (The Forty), its logo, the site design, text, tutorials, story mode, source code and the card deck artwork (Antigua, Simple, Galáctica, del Oeste, Medieval Fantasy, Halloween and the others) belong to the site owner or are used under licence, and are protected by intellectual property law.

The rules of traditional Spanish-deck card games are part of popular cultural heritage and cannot be appropriated: what is protected is the specific wording of the texts published on this site and the artwork created for it.

Reproduction, distribution or transformation of the content without express authorisation is prohibited, except for private use and quotation with a link back to the source.

The owner works to keep the service available and error-free, but cannot guarantee the complete absence of interruptions, technical failures or connection loss beyond its control. Games interrupted for technical reasons do not create any right to compensation in Sotas or otherwise, without prejudice to the refund policy applicable to purchases.

The owner is not responsible for content users enter in player names, messages or reports, though such content is removed and conduct contrary to the terms of use is sanctioned as soon as it becomes known.

The site uses third-party services to operate: cloud hosting and database, Google AdSense advertising (only with user consent), audience measurement and payment processing.

The ordering process is handled by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle handles customer service enquiries and manages returns.

Links to external sites are provided for information purposes; the owner does not control or accept responsibility for their content.

The site is funded by advertising and the sale of decorative items. Ads are only loaded once the user has accepted advertising cookies, and are never shown over the table or the cards on mobile or tablet.

Users can remove ads by activating the ad-free plan with Sotas, and can review or withdraw consent at any time from the cookie settings link in the footer.

The processing of personal data is governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD), and is detailed in the privacy policy, which explains the purposes, legal basis, retention periods and how to exercise your rights.

This legal notice is governed by Spanish law. For any dispute, the courts of the user's domicile will have jurisdiction where the user acts as a consumer.
