2. Purpose and scope of these Terms.
These terms of use (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the Website and its content.
Users should read these Terms before using the Website.
These Terms do not govern any professional engagement accepted by Alessandro del Ninno. Any such engagement is governed by the relevant letter of engagement, fee proposal, any other fee arrangements and the applicable legal and professional rules.
Any training activities, conferences, workshops, publications, courses or other services presented on the Website may be subject to specific terms, which will be provided separately before the relevant relationship is established.
The Website is primarily an informational and professional website. It is not an e-commerce platform, an automated legal advice service, a forum or a user-generated content platform.
3. No lawyer-client relationship or professional engagement.
Using the Website, reading its content, sending a message or completing the contact form does not constitute:
• the engagement of Alessandro del Ninno as legal counsel;
• acceptance of any professional engagement by the Lawyer;
• the automatic establishment of a lawyer-client relationship;
• the assumption of any professional obligation in relation to the matter described;
• an obligation on the part of the Lawyer to provide assistance or comply with any deadline specified by the user.
The Lawyer accepts a professional engagement only after:
1. a preliminary assessment of the enquiry;
2. verification of the client’s identity and powers of representation and completion of conflict-of-interest checks;
3. completion of any checks required under anti-money laundering legislation or other applicable provisions;
4. the Lawyer’s express acceptance of the engagement;
5. the financial and professional terms of the engagement have been set out in a separate written agreement.
Users should not send, as part of an initial enquiry, confidential documents, information exceeding what is necessary to describe the enquiry, special categories of personal data, personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences, or other particularly sensitive material, unless this is strictly necessary or has been agreed in advance.
Communications received are handled in accordance with the applicable duties of confidentiality and professional secrecy and with data protection law. Receipt of a communication does not, however, imply acceptance of an engagement.
Before an engagement is accepted, information received may be used to the extent necessary to assess the enquiry, carry out conflict-of-interest checks, comply with legal and professional obligations, and protect the rights of the Lawyer or third parties.
4. Nature and purpose of Website content.
The articles, news items, commentaries, podcasts, interviews, videos, training materials, publications and other content made available on the Website are provided solely for informational, academic, cultural and educational purposes.
Such content:
• does not constitute legal advice or a legal opinion;
• does not necessarily provide a complete or exhaustive treatment of the topics addressed;
• is not tailored to the specific circumstances of any individual matter;
• cannot replace a personalised professional assessment;
• must not be relied upon as the sole basis for legal, business, financial or organisational decisions.
The Lawyer prepares the content with due care and in accordance with the standard reasonably expected of professional informational materials. However, the Lawyer does not warrant that any content will at all times be complete, error-free or up to date in light of subsequent legislative, judicial, regulatory, administrative or interpretative developments.
Unless otherwise stated, the content reflects the legal and interpretative framework available on the date of publication or last update.
The continued availability of content on the Website does not mean that it has subsequently been reviewed or updated. Users should therefore check the publication date and verify that the information remains current before relying on it.
Opinions expressed in personal or academic content are those of the relevant author and do not necessarily reflect the views of any professional organisation, university, institution, client or other party with which the author has professional or academic links.

• use the contact form to send abusive, defamatory, threatening, discriminatory, fraudulent or promotional messages, or messages manifestly unrelated to the Lawyer’s professional activities;

Ordinary indexing of publicly accessible pages by search engines is permitted, subject to compliance with the applicable technical instructions, any exclusions specified in the Website’s files or metadata, and any other expressly stated restrictions.
The Lawyer may implement technical measures to prevent or restrict automated access, misuse or activities incompatible with these Terms.

This reservation is without prejudice to uses permitted by law for research organisations and cultural heritage institutions, within the limits and subject to the conditions laid down by applicable law.

The Website may contain links to websites, platforms, publications or services operated by third parties.
Such links are provided solely for users’ convenience or to give access to the sources and content referred to. Their inclusion does not constitute endorsement and does not imply that the Lawyer exercises control over, guarantees or accepts responsibility for:
• the content of any external website;
• its availability or security;
• any services offered;
• the contractual terms applied;
• any processing of personal data carried out by the relevant third-party operator.

Subject to any mandatory provisions of law, the Lawyer shall not be liable for consequences arising from decisions taken solely in reliance on information published on the Website without obtaining a professional assessment of the specific circumstances of the relevant matter.
The Lawyer shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from:

10. Professional engagements, fees and insurance.
The Website describes the areas of practice and professional services in which Alessandro del Ninno provides assistance. This description is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to provide services, a commitment to accept an engagement or a fee proposal.
Whether a professional engagement can be accepted is assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account:
• the nature and complexity of the matter;
• the absence of conflicts of interest;
• the Lawyer’s professional availability;
• the expertise required;
• the applicable legal and professional obligations;
• identity verification and client due diligence, where required.
Fees for professional services are agreed in writing, taking into account the nature, complexity, value, urgency and expected duration of the engagement, as well as the work required and the responsibilities assumed.
The fee proposal or letter of engagement will distinguish, as applicable, between professional fees, expenses, charges, contributions, taxes and disbursements.
Where provided by law and in the absence of a valid fee agreement, fees may be determined in accordance with the applicable statutory parameters for lawyers’ fees.
The inclusion of a particular area of practice on the Website does not guarantee that every engagement relating to that area will be accepted.
Details of the professional indemnity insurance policy and the applicable limit of indemnity are provided to the client when the engagement is accepted.
11. Data protection and cookies.
The personal data of users, prospective clients, clients and other data subjects are processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Italian Legislative Decree No. 196 of 30 June 2003 and any other applicable provisions.

12. Communications, feedback and submitted materials.
Professional enquiries, documents and information submitted through the contact details provided on the Website are processed solely for the purposes described in the relevant privacy notices and in accordance with applicable professional obligations.

The Lawyer may use such materials only to the extent necessary to:
• assess the enquiry;
• carry out preliminary checks;
• comply with legal and professional obligations;
• perform the engagement, if it is subsequently accepted;

This English-language version is provided for convenience. In the event of any inconsistency or difference of interpretation between this version and the Italian version, the Italian version shall prevail, without prejudice to any mandatory rights granted by applicable law.
14. Governing law and jurisdiction; final provisions.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.
A failure to exercise any right under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right.
