Ver 1.0 effective 10/01/2023

These Terms of Service of AIDAPT S.r.l. (hereinafter also "TOS") are entered into between AIDAPT S.r.l. and the person who has requested the service (the "Client").
AIDAPT and the Client will be referred to in the TOS collectively as. "Parties."

The services offered (design, software development, positioning SEO, etc.) and their products (software, websites, web applications, apps for smartphones, datasets, etc.), will be referred to below respectively as the "Services" and "Software".

Summary

In summary, the TOS aim to express the following concepts:

The Client acknowledges and accepts the following terms

1. Validity

1.1 These TOS cancel and supersede any other previous agreement entered into between the Parties.

2. Indemnity

2.1 AIDAPT agrees to complete the work agreed upon with the client by assuming only an obligation of means.
2.2 The Software developed and Services provided by AIDAPT are. provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability or suitability for a particular purpose.
2.3 In no event shall AIDAPT be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, typical, or consequential (including, but not limited to, loss of data, use or profit; or business interruption) in any way caused and on any assumption of liability, by contract, strict liability or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising in any way from the Services provided or the use of the Software, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Warning

The solutions we develop, in order to function properly, very often rely on an infrastructure that is beyond our control and whose proper functioning we cannot guarantee. (the device has no connection and no internet going, the server of a third party is not reachable, the software running on a specific smartphone does not work like the others, the browser or the device's operating system has an outdated version, etc.) and consequently, in turn, we cannot guarantee the permanent functioning of what has been achieved.

Just as hosting service companies assume only the responsibility for means, but not for results, in the same way we do.

This means that we will put forth all our knowledge (the "means") to make everything work, but we cannot guarantee it since it may not depend on us.

In the field of software or Internet services this is the norm, justread any EULA and you will find the same wording. In factmany of the points made here are taken from the famous bsd license free software. Also since software development isan umsible activity to ensure that the software produced is free ofof errors. That is why in our industry these statementsare the practice: no software house provides softwareguaranteeing that it is free of defects.

Everyone (including the Big guys: Microsoft, Google, Meta, etc.) provides. software "AS IS." To make up for this limitation, as they cannot being able to guarantee that at the first release the developed solution will be free of malfunctions (bugs), we normally provide in our offerings a post release period for free correction of bugs that may emerge.

The free trial period may vary depending on the nature of the contract and depending on its duration.

2.4 The Client waives any and all claims for compensation against
2.5 AIDAPT cannot be subject to penalties of any kind, explicit or implied.

2.8 In the event that the Client wishes to publish the software developed on third party systems (by way of example, Apple Store, Google Play Store, etc.), it will be the responsibility of the Client to ensure that the developed software adheres to the conditions required by such platforms. AIDAPT will not be responsible in the event that the thirdparty platform, for whatever reason, refuses to publish the software or in the event that the Client incurs costs additional costs for adapting the software to the requirements of the thirdparty platform.
2.9 The Customer assumes all civil and criminal liability for the possible falsity or incorrectness of the information and data communicated to AIDAPT.
2.10 In order to be able to provide a turnkey service, in some cases, AIDAPT may need to interact with third party systems parties or manage accounts on external services on behalf of the Client (ex: publishing Apps on Google Play, Apple Store, etc.).

Attention

The reason is that such treatments may require the appointment of a "Data Protection Officer" (DPO)/Data Protection Representative (DPR) and the performance of an impact assessment (DPIA), resulting in additional costs. These costs are usually not included in our Offers but are estimated only in cases where the Client intends to undergo one of the mentioned treatments.

7.1 AIDAPT and the Client, after accepting the offer, may exchange confidential and secret information ("Confidential Information") related to ongoing projects, technologies, and product developments (e.g., manufacturing processes specifics, research and development knowledge, technical details, electrical/electronic schematics, trade secrets, etc.). Such information will be disclosed by the "Disclosing Party" to the "Receiving Party."
The Receiving Party commits to treat the "Received Confidential Information" with the same degree of care and protection as it applies to its own confidential and secret information, preventing public disclosure, and maintaining an appropriate and reasonable level of confidentiality. Confidentiality shall not apply to information, data, and knowledge that possess the following characteristics:>

  • publicly available at the time they were disclosed or become publicly known through acts or behavior not attributable to the Receiving Party;
  • whose disclosure is required by compliance with legal provisions or regulations or by the implementation of a public authority provision;
  • known to the Receiving Party before the signing of this agreement;
  • independently developed by the Receiving Party without using the confidential information.

7.2 AIDAPT is free to enrich its portfolio of works and disclose some generic information (operational context, client's requests, challenges addressed, developed functionalities, images/screenshots of the project without relevant data, etc.) about the project carried out for the Client through its social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.).

Attention

AIDAPT, as well as the Client, may need to exchange information (e.g., industrial secrets) that each has developed over years of work, and if disclosed, could benefit competitors or cause harm to their respective companies. Such information will not be disclosed. This category of information clearly doe not include publicly available information (e.g., published in books, websites, magazines, etc.) or information that can be independently discovered through prexisting knowledge (e.g., two computer engineers can configure two similar computer architectures without "copying" from each other, but rather due to the path of study followed)

That said, each party is free to cite the ongoing collaboration and provide general information about the project.
An example of this is when we update our portfolio of works on our website or through our social channels. This involves mentioning the Client, sharing some screenshots of the developed application, and providing a description of the case history.
The right to claim authorship of a work is part of the moral rights of the author, which are inalienable and cannot be transferred.

8 Jurisdiction

8.1 The TdS are governed by the laws of the Italian State.

For any dispute relating to or arising from these TdS or their execution, the competent court will be exclusively the Court of Ancona.
