Art. 2. Conclusion of the Contract

2.1 The Contract with the Customer is concluded upon receipt of the Order correctly filled in and sent by the Customer to Register, together with payment of the fee for the Services requested, unless otherwise provided for in these GTC or in the SO relating to the Services themselves.
2.2 The Customer, once registered on the Website according to the following Art. 3 (Registration procedure - User ID and Password), can purchase the products and services of Register described in the Product Sheets, adding the products and services of his or her interest to the cart, completing the Order in electronic format and sending it to Register as described below. In the shopping cart, the Customer can view the selected products and services, including the cost of each of these, the total cost of the Order and the contractual conditions applied to the products and services. Before submitting the Order to Register, the Customer can add or delete products in the cart, correct any errors in the data entry, go back to the previous page or continue with the purchase.
2.3 The Customer shall confirm that he/she has read and accepted the contractual documentation, and indicate or confirm a billing address and choose a payment method from those made available by Register. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that the log files of Register stored in accordance with the law constitute full evidence of the Customer's consent to the conclusion of the Contract.
2.4 Upon receipt of the Order, Register shall send the Customer an order confirmation, containing a summary of all information relating to the products and services purchased. Register will issue an appropriate invoice for the products and services purchased.
2.5 Insofar as they are expressly referred to in these GTC or are mandatory conditions, the provisions of the Consumer Code and Legislative Decree no. 70/2003 on electronic commerce apply to any purchases of products and services by the Customer.

Art. 3. Registration and purchase procedures - User ID and Password.

3.1 Before making a purchase, the Customer must register on the Website by creating a personal account with Register, i.e. with the use of an User ID and Password (hereinafter also "Authentication Credentials"), following the instructions given at this link https://controlpanel.register.it/registration.html. Alternatively, the Customer can register on the Website directly during the purchase process. When completing the registration procedure and the purchase of Services, the Customer undertakes to provide the requested data, whether personal or not, in a correct and truthful manner.
3.2 The registration procedure for the Services is completed electronically. The Customer may only choose to communicate his/her data by telephone to a Register operator, instead of electronically, in those cases permitted by Register. In the latter case, the Customer undertakes to follow the instructions of the Register operator, as well as the procedure indicated on Register's Website. After having communicated the necessary registration data to the operator by telephone, the Customer will be given access to a web page hosted on a secure server where the data communicated to and entered by the Register operator will be published and it is the Customer's responsibility to verify this data before confirming the registration. The confirmation must be communicated to Register within 10 (ten) calendar days, after which, in the absence of confirmation, Register will be released from any contractual obligations to the Customer. The confirmation shall in any case release Register from any liability regarding the data provided by the Customer.
3.3 In all cases - whether by electronic or telephone registration - the Customer undertakes to inform Register within 5 (five) working days of any changes in the data communicated at any time. If the Customer communicates inaccurate or incomplete data, Register has the right not to activate and/or suspend the Services until the Customer rectifies such shortcomings. Register reserves the right to do the same also in the event that competent authorities (e.g. banks or credit card holders) contest the payments made by the Customer to Register.
3.4 When the Customer activates the Service, Register will assign him/her a User ID and Password. The Customer acknowledges that these User IDs and Passwords constitute the validation system for the Customer's access to the Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Customer's User ID and Password are the only means of identifying the Customer when accessing the Services. The Customer therefore acknowledges and agrees that all acts performed using the aforementioned User ID and Password shall be attributed to him/her and shall be binding on him/her. The Customer acknowledges that he/she is solely and exclusively responsible for the acts performed using his/her User ID and Password and undertakes to keep them secret and to guard them with due care and diligence and not to pass them on, even temporarily, to third parties.
3.5 In any case, the Customer accepts that the computer and/or electronic recordings made by Register and/or its suppliers may be challenged and used before any competent authority for all evidential purposes pursuant to and for the purposes of these GTC and that, in particular, the parties may use them as the basis for suitable evidence regarding the existence of the reports and/or acts that are the subject of any dispute.

Art. 4. Nature of Services, fees and payments

4.1 The nature and type of Services provided by Register to the Customer are described in the individual SOs relating to the Services and in the pages describing the Service. The fees for the Services and the terms and methods of payment of the fees are those set out in the SO or in the commercial offers available on the Website or brought to the Customer's attention. All fees, unless expressly specified otherwise, are understood to be exclusive of VAT.
4.2 The Customer has the option of choosing between the various payment instruments authorised by Register and indicated on the relevant information page on accepted payment methods (published at https://www.register.it/company/payment.html?lang=en). The Customer may at any time choose a new payment instrument from the options indicated by Register and modify the payment data as necessary. In order to cancel the PayPal billing agreement, Customers must log in to their personal Paypal account Profile and follow the cancellation procedure on the appropriate page of the Paypal account.
4.3 All tax charges arising from the Customer's use of the Services shall be borne exclusively by the Customer.
4.4 In the event of a payment delay on the part of the Customer, Register reserves the right to suspend the provision of Services, pursuant to and for the purposes of art. 1460 of the Italian Civil Code, and the Customer, without the need for formal notice, will be required to pay default interest in the amount of 5% per year, without prejudice to the right of Register to compensation for any greater damage.
4.5 If the Service is set up with the automatic renewal mode in accordance with the provisions of the following Art. 8 ("Duration, renewals and termination") and the Customer has associated a credit card or a PayPal account to his/her account, the Customer acknowledges that the corresponding credit card data or PayPal account will be associated with the Customer's account for the management of future payments, unless a change request is made directly by the Customer on his/her control panel. The credit card data in question will be stored for the management of subsequent payments by a company duly PCI-DSS certified that will perform this service on behalf of Register. The Customer also acknowledges that in the event of renewal, the list price published under https://www.register.it/company/listino-prezzi/?lang=en and in force on the date of renewal shall apply.
4.6 In the event of automatic renewal of the Services, the Customer expressly authorises Register to charge the fees for the Services on a periodic basis, on the basis of the renewal times envisaged for the individual Services and/or on the basis of the Customers' requests. It is understood that, in the event of failure to terminate the Services prior to the expiry date, the Contract shall be deemed renewed and no reimbursement of the amount paid at renewal shall be made by Register.

Art. 5. Use of Services and Customer responsibility

5.1 The Customer undertakes to use the Services with the best diligence, respecting the rules of use indicated in the SO and in such a way as not to compromise the stability, security and quality of the Services. Register reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Customer's access to the Services if: (i) the Customer materially or repeatedly violates this Contract or uses the Services for illegal or unlawful purposes; (ii) Register is required to do so to comply with a law or an order of a puclic authority; (iii) Register reasonably and justifiably believes that the Customer's conduct will result in damage or liability to another Customer, a third party or Register itself; (iv) the Customer uploads indisputably unlawful content through the Services . In this case, in order to clarify to the Customer the reasons underlying its decision and to ensure a fair hearing with the Customer, Register will provide the Customer with 7 (seven) days notice by email, giving the Customer the opportunity to object to the decision within the same period by email or through other channels indicated by Register. Registr will evaluate the eventual clarification provided by the Customer in its final decision whether or not to suspend the Service, which will be communicated to the Customer by email. It is understood that the notice shall not be due when it is incompatible with compliance with any applicable law or with the order of any public authorities on which the suspension is based, or where Register has reasonable grounds to believe that the notice may aggravate damages or liabilities for another user, a third party or Register itself, or may compromise the stability, security and quality of the Services offered.
5.2 The Customer undertakes not to use the Services for unlawful purposes and not to violate in any way any applicable national, EU and international laws and regulations. In particular, the Customer undertakes not to distribute or make accessible, and not to allow third parties to distribute or make accessible, links to (i) malicious content (such as viruses, malware or other harmful software); (ii) content that may violate or violates privacy, copyright and intellectual property rights, defamer or pornographic content, content that incites racial hatred, that is blasphemous or offensive, or that may in any way harm or interfere with the activity of Register and/or damage or endanger the image of third parties or Register; (iii) containing unsolicited or unauthorised advertising, promotional material or spam . In addition, the Customer undertakes not to engage in hacking through the Services or their access to the Internet. The Customer guarantees that it will not engage in spamming, i.e. the sending, via email, of communications that are unauthorized and/or unsolicited by the recipients. Register will consider the Customer responsible even if the illegal spam activity is carried out through different email addresses from the one acquired through Register which also involves indirectly a Register Service and/or directly the technical structure of Register (for example: unauthorized promotion of a website hosted by Register). The Customer acknowledges that the activities described above constitute a violation of these T&C.
5.3 Without prejudice to the foregoing, and without prejudice to the cases of express termination provided for in this Contract, where Register has reasonable grounds to believe that the Customer is performing activities in breach of his/her obligations under this Contract or otherwise uses the Services in violation of the rights of third parties, including on the basis of reports by third parties, Register may grant the Customer, also by email, a deadline within which to remedy the alleged breach, or to provide documentation and information proving compliance with the Contract and with the regulations in force governing the correct performance of the activities carried out through the Services. In the event of failure to reply, or if the Customer does not prove the proper execution of the Contract and compliance with legal obligations, Register shall have the right to immediately terminate the Contract, without prejudice to the right to full payment of the amount due and the right of Register to take action for full compensation for any damages suffered.
5.4 The Customer acknowledges and accepts the provisions of the "Rules and conditions of Register's promotional offers" (published at https://www.register.it/assistenza/offerte/). In particular, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that the promotional offers are reserved for a limited number of products and services for each Customer. In the event that more than one purchase of a product or service is made with different accounts attributable to a single person, the promotion will no longer be valid, so that the Customer will be required to pay in full for the products and services purchased at the list price (https://www.register.it/company/listino-prezzi/?lang=en). Register reserves the right, in this case, to proceed to the immediate suspension or cancellation of the products or services purchased by the Customer, as well as claim the full compensation of any damages suffered.
5.5 The Customer acknowledges that he/she is solely and exclusively responsible for the activities carried out through the Services or directly or indirectly attributable to him/her, even if the Customer has signed a SO on behalf of third parties authorised by him/her to use the Service, and in particular that he/she is responsible for the contents and communications submitted, published, disseminated and transmitted on or through the Services. Therefore, Register shall not be held liable in any way for illicit, criminal, civil and administrative offences committed by the Customer by means of the Services. The Customer undertakes to indemnify and, in any event, to hold Register harmless from any action, claim, demand, cost or expense, including reasonable legal fees, that may arise for Register as a result of the Customer's failure to comply with the obligations assumed and the guarantees provided by acceptance by the Customer of these GTC or a SO and in any case connected with the Customer's use of the Services.
5.6 Unless otherwise specified, the Services do not include data backup. The Customer is required to perform frequent and secure backups of their own files and data, internal network, and all connected equipment, independently and under their own exclusive responsibility. Additionally, it is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that their firewalls and antivirus protection are updated and sufficient for their needs.

Art. 6. Limitations of Register's liability

6.1 Register undertakes to use industry standard technology and suitable resources at its disposal to provide the Services offered to Customers.
6.2 Within the limits imposed by or arising from mandatory law, Register shall not be liable to the Customer or any third party for any damage or harm suffered by the Customer or any third party (including, without limitation, any consequential damage or loss of profits, loss of business, or diminution of value and/or similar losses, or loss of assets/value, or loss of domain names, or loss of contracts, or loss of use, or loss or compromise of data and information, or damage to hardware, software or databases, or any kind of special, indirect or consequential damage or economic loss) that are dependent on or related to the provision of the Services or the performance of this Contract, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence directly attributable to Register. Except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Register and/or its employees and/or its suppliers/subcontractors causing damage to people and/or property, the contractual liability of Register shall in any case be limited to foreseable damage directly caused by Register and arising from breaches of this Agreement or from negligence and shall in no way exceed the fee paid by the Customer in the last 12 (twelve) months for the Services affected by the harmful event. Furthermore, where Register's act or omission has caused more than one occurrence to the detriment of the Customer within the meaning of this provision, all occurrences caused by a single act and/or omission of Register shall be considered as a single occurrence. It is expressly understood that the liability limitation referred to in this article 6.2 does not apply to Customer who qualify as Consumers - i.e., individuals who purchase or use the Services for purposes unrelated to any entrepreneurial, artisanal, commercial or professional activity they may carry out.
6.3 The Customer agrees that Register cannot be held responsible for delays or malfunctions in the provision of Services due to events beyond the reasonable control of Register, such as, by way of example: (i) events of Force Majeure; (ii) events due to third parties, such as, by way of example only, the interruption or malfunctioning of the services of telecommunications operators and/or power lines, or acts or omissions of the competent registration authority; and (iii) malfunctioning of the terminals or other communication systems used by the Customer. In case of interruption of the Service, Register undertakes to restore the Service as soon as possible. Furthermore, the Customer agrees that Register cannot be held liable for acts or omissions committed by the Customer and in conflict with the obligations assumed by the latter under these GTC or a SO, nor can it be held liable for malfunctions due to defects in the means necessary for access, improper use of the same and/or incorrect methods of access to the Service by the Customer. In the aforementioned cases of events beyond Register's reasonable control (including the Customer's own fault), Register cannot be held liable to the Customer or to third parties for any loss, i.e. loss of profit, or any other direct, indirect or consequential damages connected with the performance of these GTC or of each individual SO. The Customer is informed that the Services may be suspended, cancelled or transferred at the request of the authorities to which the Services are subject.
6.4 Notwithstanding the above, Register reserves the right to suspend or interrupt the provision of Services for ordinary and extraordinary technical maintenance operations. In the event of maintenance related to exceptional or unforeseeable events, or due to Force Majeure, Register reserves the right to suspend the Service at any time, in whole or in part, even without prior notice; subject to the above-described scenarios, Register will notify the Customer of maintenance operations via email with a notice of 48 hours, including the timelines for restoring the Services. The Customer also agrees and acknowledges that Register shall not be held liable for any damages, direct or indirect, of any nature, suffered in relation to or as a result of such interruptions.

Art. 7. Duration, renewals and termination

7.1 These GTC are valid for an unlimited duration, while the individual SOs shall have the duration indicated therein and/or indicated in the relevant Product Sheet.
7.2 Unless otherwise specified to the Customer the Services shall be automatically renewed on expiry for periods of equal duration to the initial period.
7.3 The Customer acknowledges that it will not be possible to activate the automatic renewal of a Service if payment by bank transfer is selected.
7.4 The Customer will be able to change the renewal mode of a particular Service from automatic to manual up to 20 (twenty) days before the expiry date, and from manual to automatic up to 30 (thirty) days before the expiry date. In any event, before the expiry of the Services, the Customer will be sent a notice containing the information necessary to manage the renewal.
7.5 Termination of a SO shall also result in termination of the GTC if the Customer procures no other active Services from Register. The GTC shall remain in force until the last Service purchased by the Customer expires.
7.6 Notwithstanding the provisions of the subsequent Art. 8 ("Consumer Withdrawal. Exception to the right of withdrawal"), each Party shall be entitled to terminate the Contract by giving written notice to the other Party, at least 30 (thirty) days in advance. After this term, the GTC and/or the Service Orders which are the object of the termination shall be terminated and the Services relating to them shall be deactivated. In the event that the Customer exercises the right of termination, Register will not reimburse the fees for the services not yet provided; in the event of termination by Register, Register will reimburse the Customer for the portion of the amount paid corresponding to the days not used until the natural expiry of the Service, minus the costs incurred or sustained. Any further reimbursement, compensation or indemnity in favour of the Customer is excluded.
7.7 The Customer agrees that a termination of these GTC shall not be effective if a contractual relationship is pending between the Customer and Register in respect of a SO, the contents of which, in the event of conflict, take precedence over these GTC. Therefore, if the Customer wishes to terminate these GTC, he/she must first or simultaneously terminate, where possible, any SO in place at the time of the notice of termination.

Art. 8. Consumer Withdrawal. Exception to the right of withdrawal

8.1 Any Customer who is a natural person and requests a service for purposes other than his/her professional activity ("Consumer"), will be entitled to withdraw freely, without having to state a reason, from the General Conditions of Contract and the individual Service Orders, within 14 (fourteen) business days of the respective contract being concluded, under the terms and for the purposes of article 52 of the Legislative Decree no. 206/2005 ("Consumer Code"). Withdrawal may be exercised by the Customer, in accordance with article 54(1) of the Consumer Code, using the withdrawal form in appendix I, part B, of the Consumer Code or submitting any other explicit declaration of his/her intention to withdraw from the contract, to be sent, by registered letter with advice of receipt, to Register S.p.A., Via Zanchi n. 22, 24126 Bergamo (BG) Italy, or by opening a support ticket from their control panel, before the expiry of the withdrawal period. The information on exercising the right of withdrawal provided to the Customer by Register can be viewed at the end of this document. The burden of proof regarding correct exercise of the right of withdrawal, according to the aforestated procedure, will lie with the Customer. Following the proper exercise of the right of withdrawal by the Customer, Register will, in accordance with article 56(1) of the Consumer Code, within the subsequent 14 days, refund him/her the amounts received from him/her, including delivery costs, if incurred. Register will pay the refund using the same means of payment used by the Customer for the initial transaction, unless otherwise agreed with the Customer and provided that the Customer does not have to incur any cost as a consequence of using the different means of payment. Register will not be required to reimburse delivery costs if the Customer has expressly chosen a different and more costly form of delivery than the one offered by Register. It is understood that Register may withhold the refund until it has received the goods or until the Customer has demonstrated that he/she has returned the goods, whichever situation occurs first. Unless Register collects the goods directly, the Customer will be required to return the goods without undue delay and in any case within 14 days of the date on which he/she informed Register of his/her decision to withdraw from these GCS or an SO. The respective shipping costs will be borne by the Customer, unless Register failed to inform the Customer of this at the time the contract was concluded.
8.2 Exception to the right of withdrawal. In any event, it is understood that, with reference to the services, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised by the Customer after the service has been fully supplied, as indicated below, by Register if the supply itself has commenced with the Customer's express agreement and he/she has agreed to lose the right of withdrawal following the full performance of the service by Register. Purely by way of example and without limitation, the Customer acknowledges that the start of the registration procedure for a domain name, a premium domain name, such as the activation of electronic mail boxes, as well as any other service in which Register has proceeded to make the request to the various competent Authorities and/or third-party suppliers, are equivalent to "complete supply of the service" within the meaning of Article 59, para. 1, lett. a) of Legislative Decree 206/2005.

Art. 9. Termination for cause

9.1 Register may terminate these GTC and each SO pursuant to Article 1466 of the Italian Civil Code, without observing a specific notice period in the event of:
a) non-compliance by the Customer with the provisions of the following articles of these GTC: Art. 4 ("Nature of the services, fees and payments"), Art. 5 ("Use of the services and Customer responsibility"), Art. 12 ("Industrial and Intellectual property property rights"), as well as the provisions contained in Section I ("Provisions for the request of services by the Customer on behalf of third parties").
b) force majeure events, in accordance with Art. 15 ("Force Majeure") of these GTC.
c) insolvency, bankruptcy or other insolvency or enforcement proceedings of the Customer.
9.2 The rights of Register to the payment of the fees accrued in its favour at the date of termination and to compensation for damages suffered remain unaffected.

Art. 10. Modifications

10.1 Register reserves the right to amend these GTC and the terms and conditions of the SOs or other documents that make up the Contract with the Customer at any time, by notifying the Customer by email at least 30 (thirty) days in advance, if the following occurs: 1) changes in the technical/economic/contractual conditions imposed by third parties (by way of non-exhaustive example, suppliers and commercial partners) and/or the entry into force of new legislative or regulatory provisions, or the amendment of existing provisions (including the rules imposed by the Domain Name Authorities) and/or related to yearly changes in the inflation rate; 2) the need to maintain an adequate level of service; 3) to ensure adequate security standards of the platform; 4) the entry into force of new legal provisions; 5) and/or changes in the sale prices of the services or in the methods of providing the Services.
10.2 The changes referred to in the previous point will become effective 30 (thirty) days from the date of communication to the Customer.

11.1 The Parties agree that the use of email shall be the primary means for sending communications to the Customer required by law or to be made under these GTC and/or the individual SOs.

The Customer undertakes to update this address in the event of changes and to check it on a daily basis in order to be promptly informed of communications sent to his/her attention.

Art. 13. Applicable law and competent court

13.1 This Contract and all rights and obligations arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Italy.

Register will be contactable by the body at the following address ADR@dada.eu.
14.2 The complaint must be accompanied by the information required by the ADR Platform and the Customer and Register must agree on the dispute resolution body ("ADR Body") to which the alternative dispute resolution will be entrusted, on pain of non-admissibility of the dispute.

15.3 The Party suffering the event of Force Majeure shall not be deemed to be in breach of this agreement or otherwise liable to the other party for any delay in performance or any non-performance of any obligations under this agreement (and the time for performance shall be extended accordingly) if and to the extent that the delay or non-performance is due to an event of Force Majeure.

Withdrawal may be exercised by the Customer, in accordance with article 54(1) of the Consumer Code, using the withdrawal form in appendix I, part B, of the Consumer Code or submitting any other explicit declaration of his/her intention to withdraw from the contract, to be sent, by registered letter with advice of receipt, to Register S.p.A., Via Zanchi 22, 24126 Bergamo (BG) Italy, before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

The General Conditions of Contract are applicable indefinitely, while the individual Service Orders relating to the individual services purchased by the Customer are valid for one year and are renewable, either automatically or expressly. On his/her control panel, the Customer can change the renewal option from automatic to manual up to 20 days before the renewal date and from manual to automatic up to 30 days before the renewal date. Termination of a Service Order also involves termination of the General Conditions of Contract if the Customer has no other active services on Register, otherwise the General Conditions of Contract will remain in force until the last service purchased by the Customer expires. Customers cannot withdraw from a Service Order if the contract has been renewed automatically and must therefore await the expiry of the contract. Customers who have chosen the automatic renewal option and subsequently intend to terminate the contract are therefore requested to pay close attention and to remember to change the renewal option on their control panel from automatic to manual, so that on expiry the contract will cease to be effective between Register and the Customer.
