The legally binding contract with eParnassus consists of (A) the Terms and Conditions set out in this document (B) the Privacy Policy of eParnassus (see Privacy Policy) and the FAQ, collectively called "Terms".

The Terms apply to all users of the website, including users who place photographic content, information and other material or services on eParnassus.

The User cannot use the Services and cannot accept the Terms if (a) he/she has not reached the minimum legal age to be able to form a legally binding contract with eParnassus, or (b) if he/she is legally prohibited in some other way from receiving or using the Services, according to the laws of the country in which he/she is a resident or from which he/she accesses or uses the Services.

Where eParnassus provides a translation of the Terms in a language other than Italian, this is provided purely for ease of use and the relationship with eParnassus will remain governed by the Italian language version. Should there be any discrepancy between the Italian language Terms and its relative translation, the Italian language version will apply.

Section 1 – General concepts

The purpose of eParnassus is to publish and distribute free of charge photographs and /or images of artistic objects (painting, sculpture, handicrafts, etc.) designed and made by artists registered on the site www.eparnassus.com.

Section 2 – Obligation to print this contract

As this is a remote contract, in accordance with legislative decree 185/99, in as much as it applies to this contract, the User is required to print this entire contract or save it electronically.

Section 3 – User Content

User content defines all the information (text, photographs, comments, etc.) that the User publishes on the website.

As an eParnassus account holder the User may place photographic and text content (for example User Comments). The User agrees that, whether or not the User Content is published, eParnassus does not guarantee any confidentiality with regard to any User Content.

Photographic User Content must definitely concern original objects and/or artistic products made exclusively by the User registered on the Website.

The User recognises and accepts that he/she is solely responsible for his/her personal User Content and for the consequences of their posting and publication. eParnassus does not necessarily agree with any User Content or any opinion, recommendation or advice expressed in the same. eParnassus expressly denies any and every responsibility with relation to User Content.

The User agrees not to publish or upload any User Content which it is illegal to possess in the country in which he/she is resident, or which would be illegal for eParnassus to use or possess in relation to the provision of the Services.

The User agrees not to publish or upload any User Content which is subject to third party rights (including rights of privacy or rights of publication), unless the User has a formal licence or permit from the legitimate owner to publish the material in question and provides eParnassus with the licence referred to in section 8.

eParnassus reserves the right (but does not have the obligation) to decide if the User Content meets the content requirements set out in these Terms and can remove such User Content and/or terminate a User’s access if he/she uploads any User Content that is in violation of these Terms of Service, at any time, without prior notice and at their sole discretion.

The User moreover recognises and accepts that in using the Website and the Services he/she may be exposed to User Content which could be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or in some other way reprehensible. The User agrees to denounce, and with this document denounces any legal right or recourse he/she has or may have against eParnassus with relation to any User Content.

Section 4 –eParnassus hypertext links

The services may include hypertext links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by eParnassus. eParnassus does not accept any responsibility for the content, privacy policy or practices of any third party website.

The User recognises and accepts that eParnassus is not responsible for the availability of any site or external resource, and that it does not approve any publication, product or other material on, or available from, such websites or resources.

eParnassus asks the User to be aware of when he/she is leaving the eParnassus website and to read the terms and conditions and the privacy policy of every other website he/she visits.

Section 5 - Registration, verification of the suitability of the User and privacy protection

In order to publish, on eParnassus, photographs of artistic objects produced by him/her the User must register on the Website and provide his/her personal details, consisting of full name, date and place of birth, nationality and email address.

When the User registers with eParnassus, he/she must choose a Username and a Password. The User recognises that such Usernames and Passwords constitute a validation system to allow the User access to the services offered. The Parties recognise and accept that such Usernames and Passwords constitute the only ideal method of identifying the User at the moment of accessing the services. The User therefore accepts that all actions carried out while using the abovementioned Username and Password will be attributed to him/her and will have a consequential effect in his/her regard. The User recognises that he/she is solely and exclusively responsible for actions carried out through the use of his/her own Username and Password and is required to keep this information secret and to protect it with due care and diligence and not to pass it to third parties, even temporarily. In any case, The User accepts that electronic registration carried out by eParnassus may be tested before any Judiciary authority in order to prove compliance with these general conditions of service and that, in particular, the parties may use this as civil proof of the existence of the relationships and/or the actions that may be the subject of any possible dispute.

The User must immediately notify eParnassus should he/she become aware of any security violation or unauthorised use of his/her eParnassus account.

The User is required to provide his/ her correct and accurate personal details. Should the User provide data that is incorrect or incomplete, eParnassus reserves the right to suspend the service until such time as the User remedies the situation.

The requested data is required in order to provide the service offered by eParnassus and, in accordance with legislative decree 196/2003 will be treated by the owner Roberto Zanisi, for the sole purposes of connecting the User to the services requested by him/her. Roberto Zanisi is responsible for the treatment of data. Personal details collected may not be passed to third parties and will be destroyed when eParnassus ceases its activity (according to the timeframe in section 11). Until that time, you may exercise your rights as per Section 7 of Legislative decree 196/2003 by writing to eParnassus (see Section 12).
