8.4 Any disputes arising in relation to these General Terms and Conditions of Use shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of the place of domicile or residence of the Visitor (in the case of consumers) or exclusively the Court of Bologna (in all other cases).

It should be noted that the website is not an “e-commerce” platform since it does not allow online purchases: transactions between visitors and advertisers can be made outside of the Website.

1.2 Pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 70 dated 9 April 2003, “Service Provider” refers to the company “Conference Service S.r.l.”, with registered office at via Lasie no. 10, Imola (BO), Italy, postal code 40026, VAT number, Tax Code and registration number in the Bologna Companies Register 03134010374, REA BO – 268879 (hereinafter referred to as “CS”). “Visitor” refers to the user who visits the website in order to view its content and possibly to contact Advertisers. “Advertiser” refers to the professional user who uses the website in order to display his/her products or services to the public in virtual showcases. The above defined terms may be used either in the singular or plural.

- “Ereligio Premium”, in addition to that already provided with the “Ereligio Start” subscription, this also offers: Publication of a pdf catalogue; Video upload; QRcode; Noticeboard; Highlights (30 days); Top ranking in search results (15 days); Website banner slide (30 days); News on the homepage; Newsletter banner (1 release); News article in newsletter (1 release).

Among these additional services, there is the “Outlet B2B” service, which provides for the publication of listings of goods or services in stock, in a specific area. If the Visitor is interested, the Advertiser may receive a request from the latter through the platform messaging system or through a message sent directly using the contact details listed on his/her company profile. It remains understood that, even in this case, any transaction between Visitor and Advertiser is not concluded on the Website platform, but negotiated directly between them, using methods that the interested parties consider most appropriate. Since part of the payment made by the Advertiser to the Provider in relation to the B2B Outlet service is calculated in proportion to the turnover generated by the Advertiser from the sales of products or services achieved as a result of their publication in said area (regardless of whether the Advertiser is contacted through the platform messaging system or directly by the Visitor), the Advertiser must send to the Provider a quarterly report of all the products or services sold so that the latter can process the relative variable payment. Invoicing will take place within 15 (fifteen) days of receipt of the report and the payment must be made by the Advertiser within the next 30 (thirty) days via bank transfer.

The Provider will also delete the Advertiser's account without undue delay, removing his/her profile from the Website along with the products/services advertised by the same, his/her brands, videos, QR codes, and banners. The Provider may choose not to delete historical content published during the period of subscription such as advertorials, articles and reports, catalogues, photos, descriptions of the Advertiser’s products/services, which the Provider will be entitled to keep online. Once deleted, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the Advertiser. It should be noted that some of the Advertiser's personal data may be retained in order to comply with legal requirements or binding provisions of the public authorities, mainly for tax purposes.

4.1 While the Provider does its best to ensure the highest quality, accuracy and continuity of the services, and without prejudice to the limits imposed by law, these services are provided free of charge and the Advertiser agrees to use them as they are. Therefore, the Provider does not guarantee the quality and accuracy of the interface and content of the Website, its proper functioning, absence of interruptions or suspensions, or the compliance of the services with the Advertiser’s expectations and/or specific purposes for which the latter uses them.

4.2 Furthermore, the Provider is not required to check the content published by other Advertisers and, therefore, is not liable for the same or with regard to any violations of the Advertiser's intangible rights, breaches of competition rules or to any damage to the image or reputation of the Advertiser.

4.3 The Provider will not be liable vis-a-vis the Advertiser or third parties in the event of delays, malfunctions, suspensions and/or interruptions of the Website activity or in the provision of services caused by: (a) force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances; (b) interruption of the electricity supply; (c) lack of connectivity, software errors and hardware failures, database problems, malfunctions, lack of provision of pages and/or images, algorithms errors and, in general, computer malfunctions that are not attributable to the wilful misconduct and/or gross negligence of the Provider and/or that are attributable to the acts of a third party, including any suppliers used by the CS.

Accordingly, the Advertiser acknowledges that said rights are fully owned by the Provider’s rights and undertakes:
- not to use signs in their company name that are identical or similar to the “ereligio” trademark or to any other trademark or distinctive sign attributable to the Website and/or to the Provider;
- not to use for any reason signs that are the same or similar to the “ereligio” trademark or to any other trademark or distinctive sign attributable to the Website and/or to the Provider;

The Website, the software, the IT architecture of the Website, codes, methods, algorithms, technical, creative or organizational improvements, updates, releases, and any and all functionality of the Website itself are all properties of the Provider. The Provider is therefore recognized as having full ownership of the software, know-how, computer programs (application and operational), codes, related adaptations, modifications and customizations, information and data contained therein. The Advertiser acknowledges and accepts that the catalogue/catalogues, the newsletter and in general all editorial and informative materials and products that will be created by the Provider are the exclusive property of the latter.

It remains understood that the Provider will cease to use these distinctive signs upon termination, for any reason, of the subscription contract, except for historical content published during the period of subscription such as advertorials, articles and reports, catalogues, photos, descriptions of the Advertiser’s products/services, which the Provider will be entitled to keep online.

6.2 The Advertiser declares and guarantees to have full and free ownership of and the right to use the distinctive signs referred to above, undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless the Provider from any damage, direct or indirect, or prejudice in general, including any claims or actions of third parties, which the same Provider may suffer in relation to any violations of copyright or industrial rights or of fair competition rules.

7. Confidentiality.

7.1 Each party undertakes, for the entire duration of the subscription contract and also thereafter, to keep secret and to refrain from disclosing, either directly or indirectly, communicating to third parties or, in any case, disseminating in any form the confidential information revealed by the other party or from making it accessible to the public. Each party undertakes to ensure that this confidentiality obligation is observed by its employees, consultants, collaborators and third-party contractors and shall be liable under art. 1381 of the Italian Civil Code in the event of any violations by said persons of this confidentiality obligation.

7.2 For the purposes of the previous paragraph, "confidential information" means all information that can reasonably be considered confidential such as that of a technical, commercial, financial, strategic nature, together with all documents, also prepared by the receiving party, which contain the aforesaid information.

8.2 In any case, the Advertiser undertakes to conduct itself in accordance with the principles of commercial fairness, to advertise its products or services on the Website in a truthful, complete, and non-misleading manner and to offer its buyers all the guarantees and after-sales services required by the applicable law and industry best practice. Furthermore, the Advertiser, by using the Website, undertakes to behave with the utmost propriety, in accordance with the law and not contrary to public order and decency, refraining from any conduct that could harm the rights, interests, image, reputation and the good name of the Provider, the Website, other Advertisers and Visitors. Where this is not the case, the Advertiser will be required to compensate the Provider and, if applicable, the Visitors for any damage, whether direct or indirect, cost, expense and harm in general suffered by them in relation to the above.

8.3 The Advertiser shall refrain from any conduct that could lead to confusion among the public and its buyers between its legal entity and commercial identity and those of the Provider.

9. Amendment and updating of these General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription.

9.1 These Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription are regularly updated and amended, also in light of changing regulatory requirements. The new General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription will be valid and effective starting from their publication on the Website. It is therefore advisable to frequently consult these Terms and Conditions, at least upon the renewal of each new subscription contract. There is also a link to these General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription in the footer of the Website.

10. General provisions.

10.1 Tolerance, including when prolonged, by one party of any breach of the subscription contract or of these General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription by the other party implies neither acquiescence to the breach nor a waiver of the rights of the non-defaulting party in relation to such breaches.

10.2 The Advertiser cannot assign the subscription contract or additional services without the prior written consent of the Provider.

10.3 The Advertiser and the Provider are both independent and autonomous legal persons. Nothing contained in the subscription contract or in these General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription can be interpreted in such a way as to suggest that between the Advertiser and the Provider there exists or has been established a company, an association, a joint venture, an agency or franchise agreement, a mandate or agency agreement or an employment relationship. Neither party has the power to represent the other and, therefore, to make statements, formulate or accept proposals or offers in the name or on behalf of the other party.

10.5 Neither the subscription contract nor these General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription have the effect or the intention of giving rise to any exclusive right of any of the parties.

10.6 Communications between Provider and Advertiser related to the subscription contract, the additional services and these General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription shall be by certified e-mail (PEC) sent to the addresses indicated on the subscription form and/or in the publicly available registers (Chambers of Commerce, INI-PEC, etc.). If a PEC address is not available, communications sent by ordinary e-mail with confirmation of receipt will be valid.

11. Processing of Personal Data.

11.1 In compliance with art. 13 (for the data collected from the data subject) and 14 (for data not collected from the data subject) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), all users of this Website are provided with information contained at this link (privacy policy), which refers exclusively to the processing carried out by this Website and not by any other website or third parties (e.g., advertisers) of which the user may have become aware through the Website itself. With regard to any data processing carried out by other websites or third parties, users are advised to read all the relevant information provided by the respective Data Controllers.

11.2 It therefore remains understood that the "Advertiser" (and/or other third parties connected to the platform) will be Independent Data Controllers for all the data received by the same for the services offered. Conference Service is therefore not responsible in any way for the processing they carry out.

12. Applicable laws and settlement of disputes.

12.1 These General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription (and the individual subscription and service contracts regulated by the same) are subject to Italian law.

12.2 Notwithstanding the obligation to pursue out-of-court dispute resolution procedures (for example, where applicable: Article 5 of Legislative Decree No. 28/2010; Article 1, paragraph 11, Law No. 249/1997), the Seller invites the Advertiser, before proceeding against the same, to contact him/her directly through the channels indicated in paragraph 1.3 of these General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription. The Provider offers attentive service to customers and strives to adopt increasingly high standards in the management and resolution of complaints and support requests from its Advertisers. The Provider will therefore seek to reach a reasonable and satisfactory solution for the Advertiser and the issue raised will also serve as an opportunity to further improve the services provided.

12.3 Any disputes arising in relation to these General Terms and Conditions of Use and Subscription (and the individual subscription and service contracts regulated by the same) shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Bologna without prejudice to the right of the Provider to apply to a different court in order to bring actions aimed at collecting receivables from the Advertiser, whether these are summary, provisional, enforcement or any other type of proceedings.
