h) distribute and/or make the leggimenu Software and/or related data and/or any Confidential Information available to the public.
6. Intellectual Property and Confidentiality Obligation
6.1 The User acknowledges that all Rights to the leggimenu Software, including those related to graphic elements, interfaces, and any distinctive signs, are the exclusive property of leggimenu, and expressly agrees not to reproduce, modify, alter, remove, move, transfer, license, or distribute them to third parties.
6.2 The User expressly agrees, even after the termination or expiration, for any reason, of the effects of this Agreement, to keep confidential all Confidential Information regarding leggimenu that they may become aware of during the execution of this Agreement.
7. Warranty Exclusion and Limitation of Liability
7.1 The leggimenu Software is provided without any warranty of functionality (so-called “as is”), in relation to all possible applications and uses. Therefore, the User agrees with the Provider and accepts that the leggimenu Software may contain errors (by way of example but not limited to: failure to load data; partial or total malfunction (crash); design adaptation issues where graphic assets resolution is insufficient to provide a “retinalike” user experience; unavailability of Services due to traffic peaks and/or technical problems with the servers used by the Provider, etc.).
7.2 Without prejudice to the application of any mandatory legal provisions, the Provider provides no warranty for original or future defects, makes no promise of quality, functionality or suitability for a specific purpose or result regarding the leggimenu Software, and does not guarantee that the Services will meet the User’s needs.
7.3 Consequently, without prejudice to the application of any mandatory legal provisions, any and all rights to reimbursement, compensation and/or damages are excluded, including direct and indirect, material and non-material, potential, current, future, punitive damages (by way of example and not limited to: damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data), to persons and/or property, related to or in any way arising from the use of the leggimenu Software and/or the enjoyment of the Services.
7.4 As also stated in Preamble C), the Parties acknowledge and agree that any and all relationships, interactions, or connections between Users resulting from the use of the Services (e.g., the provision of a dinner at a Manager User’s venue, booked by a Consumer User through the Digital Menu Viewing Service) take place outside the control of leggimenu and, therefore, any and all rights to reimbursement, compensation and/or damages, direct and indirect, material and non-material, potential, current, future, punitive (by way of example and not limited to: damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data) suffered by a Manager User or by any User in relation to any relationship, interaction, or connection between Users resulting from the use of the Services – including those arising from the performance, improper performance, or non-performance of payments via the Payment Service Provider – are hereby expressly excluded (for example, leggimenu shall not be liable if a payment made by a User fails or if there are errors in processing one or more payments).
7.5 In relation to any Content uploaded by the Manager User while using the Services (particularly photographic Content of dishes and/or locations), without prejudice to the obligations assumed by the Manager User under Art. 4.5, lett. a), the Manager User is informed that leggimenu does not review the information entered by the Manager User, acting solely as a hosting provider in relation to such information. In this regard, the Manager User is expressly informed that:
- leggimenu, as an alternative to uploading Manager User Content, offers the option to use stock Content released to the public under licenses that allow free use;
- if the Manager User still chooses to upload their own Content, leggimenu reiterates the necessity for the Manager User to verify in advance the usage rights applicable to such Content. The Manager User is expressly informed that any Content found through search engines like “Google,” “Bing,” and similar platforms is not automatically usable; its source and licensing terms must be verified beforehand;
- leggimenu will not carry out any prior checks, as it is currently technically impossible to automatically verify the usage rights of Content uploaded by the Manager User;
- if any third party submits complaints to leggimenu regarding unauthorized Content uploaded by the Manager User, without prejudice to the indemnification provisions under Art. 8, the Manager User expressly agrees that leggimenu may temporarily disable access to the disputed Content and that the provisions of Art. 10 shall apply and, in more serious cases, those of Art. 11.
8. Indemnification
The User – without prejudice to the Provider’s right to claim compensation for any damages suffered – declares and guarantees to hold harmless and indemnify the Provider, as well as any entities connected to or controlled by it, its representatives, employees, and any of its partners from any and all possible disturbances, claims, or legal actions, initiated or threatened, by other Users and/or third parties, related to or in any way arising from the use of the Services, including potential violations of third-party Rights, by intervening and defending, where necessary, in any related proceedings.
9. Termination
9.1 The Manager User is hereby informed that they may withdraw from this Agreement at any time, without penalties, by using the Account deactivation procedure available within the Website.
9.2 In the event of withdrawal from this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Art. 9.1, leggimenu undertakes to delete, as soon as possible and in any case no later than 30 (thirty) days following the definitive cancellation: i) the Manager User’s Account; ii) all personal Data associated with the Manager User. In any case, it is understood that, without prejudice to any non-waivable rights granted by applicable data protection laws, the license referred to in Art. 4.8 shall remain valid and effective.

In the event of withdrawal by leggimenu, the provisions of Art. 9.2 shall apply.

9.6 It is understood that if the withdrawal referred to in Art. 9.1 occurs within ten days from the purchase of an Extension or, in any case, within ten days from the payment of a Subscription Fee, leggimenu will refund the amount paid for the Extension and/or the Subscription Fee, net of any commissions incurred for payment services.
9.7 Outside the cases mentioned above, it is specified that the Manager User shall not be entitled to any other refunds and/or compensation for the purchase of Subscriptions and/or Extensions. Without prejudice to the above, by way of exception, leggimenu – upon receiving a motivated request from the Manager User – may grant full and/or partial refunds and/or compensation for purchased Subscriptions and/or Extensions. It is clarified that such evaluation shall be made: (a) at the sole discretion of leggimenu, and (b) for a maximum of no. 2 (two) refunds during the entire duration of the Agreement. It is also expressly understood that in the event of a negative outcome of the request, the Manager User shall not be entitled to claim any damages and/or compensation of any kind.
10. Suspension of Service Use
10.1 The Provider, also pursuant to Article 1460 of the Italian Civil Code, reserves the right to suspend, in whole or in part, even without prior notice and without any compensation, refund and/or damages, the Manager User’s access to the Services in the following cases:

13.2 The possible invalidity or ineffectiveness, under Italian law, of any provision of this Agreement shall not render null or affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining contractual provisions with respect to either Party.
