is the exclusive property of the Controller or used under regular licence (e.g. open source fonts, Creative Commons or purchased images). They are protected by Italian and international copyright laws (Italian Law 633/1941 as amended, EU Regulation 2019/790) and by trademark legislation.

Any reproduction, duplication, copying, sale, resale or commercial exploitation of Site contents is prohibited without the prior written consent of the Controller.

Personal use of contents (e.g. saving for offline consultation, sharing with a single colleague) is permitted provided that references to the author are maintained and there is no commercial purpose.

Links to external sites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites (e.g. social networks, service providers, partners). The Controller:

• Does not control nor is responsible for the content of linked sites
• Does not guarantee their availability or security
• Is not liable for any damage arising from the use of third-party sites

Users are advised to read the terms and privacy policies of destination sites.

The Controller undertakes to provide the Site "as is", doing its best to ensure proper functioning. However, to the extent permitted by law, the Controller:

• Does not guarantee that the Site will always be accessible, uninterrupted, error-free or virus-free
• Is not liable for any interruption due to scheduled maintenance, updates, force majeure events (e.g. hosting provider failures, network outages)
• Is not liable for indirect damages, lost profits, data loss or reputational damage arising from the use or inability to use the Site

Information published on the Site does not replace specific professional advice for your case. For operational or legal decisions, contact the Controller for a personalised analysis.

These limitations do not apply in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence by the Controller, nor where the law imposes a higher level of liability (e.g. in relations with consumers under Italian Legislative Decree 206/2005 — Consumer Code).

Assignment

The Controller may assign or transfer the rights and obligations arising from these Terms to third parties (e.g. in case of extraordinary operations such as mergers, acquisitions, business transfers), provided that equivalent levels of user protection are guaranteed.

The user may not assign their rights or obligations without the prior written consent of the Controller.

Severability
