4. Rules of conduct

You undertake to adhere strictly to the following rules of conduct:
- do not make communications that cause damage or disruption to the network or to third-party users or that violate the laws and regulations in force;
- do not put material or communications on the network with potentially offensive content or which would damage the harmonious development of a child’s personality, to respect the principles of public order and social security and to avoid the dissemination of messages, images or other material that may incite the perpetration of crimes, the use of violence or violent acts, any form of participation or collaboration in illegal activities;
- do not disseminate anything harmful to decorum or human dignity, or which has pornographic content or is contrary to morality or which promotes prostitution or child pornography;
- do not upload material infringing copyright law or other intellectual or industrial property rights, in particular pirated software, music files, images, videos, copyrighted texts;
- do not use disrespectful language, let alone shameful terms, insults and avoid flame;
- do not enter material that is offensive or defamatory to anyone, including expressions of fanaticism, racism, hatred, irreverence or threat;
- do not send material containing personal or third-party judicial data;
- do not provide material that promotes or provides information that instructs on or otherwise relates to illegal activities or that may cause harm to third parties;

5. Social network

If you enter the groups and pages of social networks created by the Owners of the site, you must keep in mind that social networks are online social network services aimed at communities of subjects that share interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. These are services that, for the most part, are managed through the Web and offer different ways of interaction between users. If you intend to participate, follow the following guidelines:
- when you enter your personal data, you lose control of it. The data can be recorded by all the contacts and members of the groups to which you have joined, reworked, disseminated, even after years. Sometimes, by agreeing to enter a social network, you grant the company that manages the service, the license to use without time limit the material inserted online (photos, chats, writings, thoughts);
- most social networking sites are located abroad, and so are their servers. In case of legal dispute or problems arising for violation of privacy, you are not always protected by Italian and European laws;
- if you decide to leave a social network site, you often are only allowed to “disable” the profile, not to “delete it”. The data, the materials that have been entered online could still be stored on the servers, in the computer archives of the company that offers the service. Read carefully what the conditions of use and the privacy guarantees offered in the contract that you accept at the time of registration;
- you need to think before entering your data online if you may not want it to be disseminated or can be used to your detriment. It is good to report any violations to the Guarantor so that it can intervene to protect the user;
- when you insert third-party's photos or “tag” them, ask yourself first if you are violating other people’s privacy. If in doubt, first request the consent of the third party;
- beware of false profiles. It is enough the photo, the name and some information about the life of a person to take possession of his identity online;
- attention to the information made available online. The date and place of birth are enough to calculate the tax code. Other information may help to track your bank or postal account or username and password.

6. Surveillance

Please note that it is the precise commitment of the Owners of the site to ensure the correct use of the interactive services made available to you in order to prevent illegal content from being placed on the network. The Owners of the site therefore reserve themselves, at their sole discretion, to the occurrence of incorrect or suspicious actions, the right to delete the submitted content or to modify it after it has been entered by you and also to prevent you from accessing at any time and for any legitimate reason, without notice, and to inform, where appropriate, the Competent Authorities if they verify the illegality of the content sent or the unlawfulness of your behaviour.

In no case may the Owners of the site be held responsible for inappropriate, offensive or indecent content and for errors or omissions, transmitted or made available through their site. The Owners of the site will not be able to review the submitted content in advance but will have the right to block or remove any type of content, at their discretion.

You agree to assume all risks inherent in the use of any type of content.

The possible violation, even if only presumed, of the present conditions of use, or the violation, even if only presumed, of rights of third parties and/or of the juridical norms in force in our legal system, will involve the suspension or interruption of the Service and, if necessary or appropriate, reporting to the Competent Authorities. In particular, the Owners of the site will inform the Competent Authorities if behaviours are found that may be considered as a crime.

The Owners of the site reserve, at their discretion, the right to:
- change these terms of use. The use of the Service after the entry into force of these changes implies full acceptance of the changes. You can check at any time the current text of the terms of use by accessing the page “Terms”;
- check and dispose of material sent to the site;
- discontinue access to the site at any time and without notice.

By accessing this site, you and the Owners of the site agree that the laws and regulations of Italy will apply to all matters relating to the use of the website.

You and the Owners of the site also agree to submit exclusively to the jurisdiction of the Court of Milan for the above-mentioned issues.

By accessing this site and using the tools provided therein, you implicitly accept the terms and conditions set forth herein.
