Their reproduction in any form or manner is therefore strictly prohibited without the express written authorization of Meridia or, where applicable, the relevant rights holder; likewise, the registration of the name \u201cMeridia\u201d or other names and\/or distinctive signs belonging to us and\/or the Disaronno Group (Illva Saronno Holding S.p.A.) under any top-level domain is also strictly prohibited.

Finally, Meridia hereby states that the use of all distinctive signs owned by itself and\/or other companies of the Disaronno Group as metatags, i.e. as HTML commands which, whilst not resulting in the display or formatting of a specific command, nevertheless provide instructions to web crawlers or search engines to increase the visibility of a website other than those associated with us.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Website may only be used for personal, legitimate and lawful purposes, in accordance with the provisions of any applicable local, national or international laws or regulations.<\/p>\n The content of the Website may not, in whole or in part, be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, transcribed, transmitted or distributed in any manner or form without our prior written authorization, except for printing, downloading and viewing of parts of the Website carried out for exclusively personal and non-commercial purposes, provided that the material in question is not modified in any way and all information relating to intellectual and\/or industrial property rights affixed thereto is retained.<\/p>\n In particular, it is prohibited to use the Website and\/or its Content:<\/p>\n At the same time, the Content of the Website may not, in whole or in part, be disseminated via communication channels such as the internet, television, radio or any other medium without our prior written authorization.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We may, from time to time, make interactive services available via the Website, including, but not limited to, chat rooms, forums, message boards, tools for creating musical content, image upload features, interactive experiences and location-based services (such as club finders). Where such services are offered, we will provide clear information regarding their nature, as well as the possible presence of moderation systems, specifying the type of moderation adopted (human and\/or automated). We will make every reasonable effort to assess the potential risks to users arising from the use of interactive services and, based on this assessment, we will decide whether and to what extent it is appropriate to implement forms of moderation. It is understood, however, that we are not obliged to control, monitor or moderate such services and we expressly disclaim all liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of such services in breach of applicable content standards, regardless of whether the service is subject to moderation or not. Where an interactive service is moderated, users will normally be provided with appropriate tools to contact the moderator in the event of issues or reports.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Certain sections of the Website may allow the user to submit, publish, upload or otherwise make available their own materials, content, videos, images, comments, questions or other information (\u201cUser Content<\/strong>\u201d). Furthermore, without prejudice to the provisions regarding the protection of personal data, the user acknowledges and agrees that the submission to Meridia via email or by uploading to the Site of any User Content shall constitute authorization and a license to Meridia (with the right to sub-license) to freely reproduce, use, disclose, displayed, modified, copied and distributed to third parties without any limitation as to place or time, in order to provide and\/or improve the Website\u2019s services, make the User Content available and allow third parties, including service providers and other users, to access it, and to carry out all other actions authorized by the user in relation to the services available via the Website.<\/p>\n Similarly, without prejudice to the moral rights of authorship, all texts, ideas, concepts, know-how and\/or technical knowledge that may be contained in the material in question may be freely used and commercially exploited by us for the above purposes.<\/p>\n By sending User Content to Meridia via any channel, the user declares and warrants that they are the sole owner thereof, or in any event have obtained the right to use it freely, with the consequent total exclusion of any risk that its use may result in the infringement of any rights whatsoever belonging to third parties. Given the \u201copen\u201d nature of the Internet, Meridia expressly recommends that you do not transmit, via electronic communication channels, any material that you do not consider to be freely usable by third parties. User Content must be accurate (where it reports facts), genuine (where it expresses opinions) and compliant with applicable legislation; it must not be unlawful, misleading, defamatory, obscene, offensive or otherwise inappropriate; nor must it infringe the rights of third parties, promote violence, discrimination or illegal activities, cause harm to minors, encourage the irresponsible or unlawful consumption of alcohol (including by minors or drink-driving), impersonate third parties or create the impression that it originates from us. We shall not be liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of User Content transmitted and\/or published, and we reserve the right to remove any material or publication made by the user on the Website should it infringe the rights of third parties and\/or legal provisions and, in general, should such material, in our opinion, not comply with these terms and conditions.<\/p>\n We reserve the right to remove any content and to suspend or revoke access to the Site, including in the event of a breach of the provisions of this paragraph.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Without our prior written authorization, you are not permitted under any circumstances to create links to the Website\u2019s home page, nor to any internal or ancillary pages of the Website, thereby creating a so-called \u201cdeep link\u201d, nor to embed or display the Website\u2019s content within another website, thereby creating a so-called \u201cframe\u201d. In this regard, please note that any breach of the provisions set out in the preceding paragraph constitutes conduct that is also actionable under the law on unfair competition, as governed by the relevant legislation in force.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The user undertakes not to misuse the Website, including by intentionally introducing viruses or other harmful materials. It is also prohibited to attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, the server on which it is hosted or any server, computer system or database connected to it, as well as to carry out DoS (denial of service) or DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. Any breach of this nature will be reported to the relevant authorities, and we will cooperate with them by providing the necessary information, including the identification of the user responsible. In such cases, the user\u2019s right to use the Website will cease immediately. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from cyber-attacks, including DDoS attacks, viruses or other technologically harmful material that may infect your devices, software, data or other property as a result of your use of the Site or the downloading of material from it or from linked websites.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Meridia and its controlling companies or subsidiaries, agents, licensors, officers and other affiliated companies, as well as their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any claim, damage, liability, loss, liability, cost or debt and expenses (including legal fees) arising from (i) the use of and access to the Website, including data and content transmitted and\/or published and\/or uploaded by the user, (ii) from a breach of any provision of these terms and conditions; (iii) from a breach of any third-party rights, including, by way of example only and not limited to, any rights relating to personal data or privacy, or industrial or intellectual property rights; (iv) from a breach of applicable laws or regulations; (v) from User Content; (vi) the user\u2019s willful or negligent conduct and\/or (vii) access to and\/or use by third parties of the Website and\/or related restricted-access areas via the user\u2019s authentication credentials or other codes, including security codes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Meridia and\/or its controlling companies or subsidiaries, agents, licensees, officers and other affiliated companies, as well as their employees, collaborators, agents, officers and directors, shall not be, nor may they be held, liable for any loss or damage, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from or in connection with the use of the Website, the inability, even temporary, to use it, or the use of websites linked to it or the Content published therein. <\/p>\n These terms and conditions are and shall be governed exclusively by Italian law and must consequently be interpreted in accordance with that law.
