Art. 4 – Use of the website and user responsibility

  1. Access to and use of the website and the viewing of its web pages, including communication with the operator, are activities carried out by the user exclusively for personal purposes unrelated to any commercial, business or professional activity.
  2. The user is personally responsible for the use of the website and its contents. The operator cannot be held liable for any use of the website and its contents by any of its users that does not comply with the laws in force, without prejudice to liability for wilful misconduct and gross negligence. In particular, the user shall be solely and exclusively responsible for communicating information and data that are incorrect, false or relate to third parties without their consent, as well as for any improper use thereof.
  3. Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the service is at the user’s discretion and risk; accordingly, all liability for any damage to computer systems or loss of data resulting from download operations rests with the user and cannot be attributed to the operator.
  4. The operator disclaims all liability for any damage arising from the inaccessibility of the services on the website or for any damage caused by viruses, corrupted files, errors, omissions, service interruptions, deletion of contents, issues relating to the network, providers or telephone and/or telematic connections, unauthorised access, alteration of data, or the failure and/or faulty operation of the user’s own electronic equipment.
  5. The user is responsible for the safekeeping and proper use of their personal information, including the credentials that allow access to reserved services, as well as for any harmful consequence or prejudice that may be suffered by Pitagora Mundus or by third parties as a result of the improper use, loss or theft of such information.
  6. The Operator has taken every reasonable measure to prevent the publication on the website of contents and images that may be deemed offensive to decency, human rights and human dignity, in all their possible forms and expressions. In any event, should such contents be deemed offensive to religious or ethical sensibilities or to decency, the user concerned is requested to report this to the operator, who nevertheless gives notice that any access to contents deemed offensive or objectionable is made by the user at their own unquestionable discretion and under their sole and personal responsibility.
  7. The Operator has also taken every appropriate precaution to ensure that all information on the website is correct, complete and up to date; however, the Operator assumes no liability towards users regarding the accuracy and completeness of the contents published on the website, save as otherwise provided by law. Should a user find errors or out-of-date information on the website, they are requested to inform the operator by writing to the email address: info@pitagoramundus.org.

Art. 5 – Exclusion of liability

  1. As stated above, the operator attends to and maintains the website and its contents with the utmost diligence; however, it assumes no liability for the correctness, completeness and timeliness of the data and information provided on the website or on websites linked to it. Any liability for errors or omissions arising from the use of the data and information on the website is therefore excluded.
  2. The operator disclaims all liability, including for the presence of errors, the correction of errors and the liability of the server hosting the website; nor is it liable for the use of the information contained therein or for its correctness and reliability. In no event, including negligence, shall the owner be liable for any direct or indirect damage that may result from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials on the website.

Art. 6 – Limitations on the provision of the service

  1. The operator cannot be held liable for damage resulting from the failure to provide the service owing to the faulty operation or failure of electronic means of communication for reasons beyond its reasonably foreseeable control. By way of example but not limitation: the malfunctioning of servers and other electronic devices, including those not forming an integral part of the Internet, the malfunctioning of installed software, computer viruses or the possible presence of viruses or other harmful and damaging software components, as well as actions by hackers or other users having access to the network. The user therefore undertakes to indemnify and hold the owner harmless from any liability and/or claim in this regard.

Art. 7 – Links to other websites

  1. The website may contain hyperlinks to other websites that have no connection with it. The operator does not control or monitor such websites and therefore in no way guarantees their contents or their data management. The user should therefore carefully read the terms of use and the privacy policies of the third-party websites visited, since these terms of use and the privacy policy refer solely to this website.

Art. 8 – Links on other web pages

  1. This website may also be reached through third-party websites on which a link or banner giving access to the website is displayed.
  2. Links from third-party websites to this website may be activated provided that they do not infringe these terms of use.
  3. The activation of unauthorised links shall entitle the operator to take action for the immediate deactivation of the unlawful links and for the possible recognition of the related unfair commercial practice or unfair competition, or of action detrimental to the good name and reputation of the operator, its services and the companies of the same group. The activation of deep hyperlinks (such as deep frames or deep links) to the Website, or the unauthorised use of meta-tags, is in any case prohibited.

Art. 9 – Trademarks

  1. All trademarks and distinctive signs on the website, including those relating to the individual activities carried out by the owner, belong exclusively to the owner or to the companies affiliated with it.
  2. The owner has the right to make exclusive use of the aforementioned trademarks. Accordingly, any use that is not permitted, not authorised and/or not compliant with the law is strictly prohibited and entails legal consequences. It is in no way permitted to use such trademarks or any other distinctive sign on the website to take unfair advantage, even indirectly, of the distinctive character or reputation of the owner’s trademarks, or in a manner detrimental to them and to their owners.
  3. The domain www.pitagoramundus.org, as well as its various variants and subdomains, is the property of the owner. No use, even indirect, is permitted without the specific written authorisation of the owner or owners.

Art. 10 – Data processing

Art. 13 – Governing law and competent court

  1. These general terms of use are governed by and construed in accordance with Italian law, without prejudice to any different overriding mandatory rule of the country of habitual residence of the purchaser. Accordingly, the interpretation, performance and termination of the general terms of use are subject exclusively to Italian law.
  2. Any disputes relating to and/or arising from them shall be settled exclusively by the Italian judicial authorities. In particular, where the purchaser qualifies as a consumer, any disputes shall be settled by the court of the place of the consumer’s domicile or residence in accordance with the applicable law.
