* Note
Given the new regulations for e-commerce in Spain by which EVERY delivery that arrives at Spanish territory must pay the corresponding VAT to the declared value, all packages should be marked as “PRINTED MATTER” with the declaration of “NON COMMERCIAL VALUE” and declare 0 (zero) as the delivery value, because if you specify a value, even if it is very low, when arrives at Spain, at Customs, they will charge 21% of your delivery value (VAT Tax), apart from charging you with the customs officer fee. This charge is not covered by the participation fee and, therefore, it will have to be paid by the participant who had assigned a declared value to the delivery.
The Taller Experimental de Obra Múltiple Contemporánea Association reserves the right to reproduce the received works, for promotion, supporting and/or cultural purposes.
Although the competition organizers will look after the optimal conditions of the works, which will be handled with maximum care, they asume no responsibility for any damage, loss, delay or Customs retention that may occur during the delivery or the exhibition.
