Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 3 September 2026. Version 1.0.

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of artevivomagazine.com and any content, feature or service made available through it (together, the “Site”). By accessing the Site you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Site.

1. Who you are contracting with

The Site is operated by Artevivo Edizioni S.r.l., a limited liability company incorporated in Italy, with registered office at Via Giuseppe Ripamonti 44, 20141 Milano (MI), Italy, VAT number IT12874650961, registered with the Milan Register of Companies under REA MI-2287431 (“Artevivo”, “we”, “us”, “our”).

Contact: [email protected]; telephone +39 02 8734 6120; PEC [email protected].

2. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms at any time. The amended version takes effect when published on this page, and the “last updated” date changes accordingly. Where an amendment is material, we will give reasonable prior notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after the amendment takes effect constitutes acceptance of it. If you do not accept an amendment, your remedy is to stop using the Site.

3. What the Site is

The Site is an online magazine providing editorial articles about art, design, architecture, craft and cultural heritage, principally but not exclusively Italian. Access to editorial content is currently free and no account is required.

We do not guarantee that the Site will be available continuously, at any particular speed, or free of error. We may suspend, withdraw, restrict or change all or part of the Site, temporarily or permanently, without notice and without liability. We may also withdraw or amend any individual article, including where it is the subject of a correction, a legal complaint or a rights claim.

4. Permitted use

You may read the Site, and you may print or download extracts for your own personal, non-commercial reference. You may share links to our pages freely.

You may quote from an article for the purposes of criticism, review, quotation or news reporting, provided the quotation is fair, no longer than the purpose requires, accompanied by a clear attribution to “Artevivo Magazine” and, where the medium allows, a working link to the original article.

5. Prohibited use

You must not:

  • republish, redistribute, syndicate, sell, licence or otherwise exploit any substantial part of the Site’s content, in any medium, without our prior written permission;
  • copy an article in full onto another website, application, newsletter, social media account or print publication, whether or not attributed, and whether or not for profit;
  • use any automated system, including crawlers, scrapers, bots and headless browsers, to extract content from the Site at a rate or volume that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure, or in disregard of our robots.txt file;
  • use the Site’s content, in whole or in part, to train, fine-tune, evaluate or otherwise develop any machine learning or generative artificial intelligence model or dataset, without our prior written permission. This is an express reservation of rights for the purposes of Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and the corresponding provisions of Italian law;
  • remove, obscure or alter any copyright notice, byline, credit line or watermark;
  • frame, mirror or deep-link the Site in a way that suggests an association, endorsement or approval that does not exist;
  • introduce any virus, worm, logic bomb or other material that is malicious or technologically harmful, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, the server on which it is stored, or any connected server, computer or database;
  • attack the Site by means of a denial-of-service or distributed denial-of-service attack;
  • use the Site in any way that breaches applicable law, or for any unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose.

A breach of this section may constitute a criminal offence under Italian law, including under Articles 615-ter and following of the Italian Criminal Code. We will report any such breach to the relevant authorities and cooperate with them, including by disclosing your identity where we hold it.

6. Intellectual property

All editorial text on the Site is original work commissioned or produced by Artevivo and is protected by Italian Law No. 633 of 22 April 1941 on copyright and related rights, by Directive 2001/29/EC and by international copyright treaties. We, or our contributors under licence to us, own all rights in it.

The name “Artevivo Magazine”, the Artevivo logo and the visual identity of the Site are our property and may not be used without our written permission.

Images used on the Site fall into three groups, and different rules apply to each:

  • Public domain works. Reproductions of artworks whose copyright has expired. These carry no copyright restriction from us, though the specific digital file may be subject to the terms of the institution that produced it.
  • Freely licensed images. Photographs made available under Creative Commons or similar licences, principally through Wikimedia Commons. Each is credited in its caption with the photographer and licence. If you reuse one, you must comply with that licence, not with these Terms.
  • Licensed or permitted images. Images used with the permission of a rights holder. These may not be reused.

Nothing on the Site should be taken as granting you any licence to use a third party’s trade mark, artwork or photograph.

7. Accuracy, and what our content is not

We take considerable care with facts, and our standards are set out in our Editorial Policy. Nevertheless, the Site is published for general information and interest.

Nothing on the Site constitutes professional advice of any kind. In particular, nothing on the Site is advice on the authenticity, attribution, condition, provenance, valuation, insurance, purchase, sale, export or investment merits of any artwork or object, nor legal, tax, accounting or financial advice. See our Disclaimer, which forms part of these Terms.

Practical information — opening hours, ticket prices, exhibition dates, restoration schedules, addresses — is accurate to the best of our knowledge on the date of publication and goes out of date. Always check with the institution before travelling.

8. User-generated content

Where the Site permits you to submit content, including comments, corrections and pitches:

  • You warrant that the content is your own, that you are entitled to submit it, and that it does not infringe any third party’s rights.
  • You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable licence to use, reproduce, publish, adapt and display that content on the Site and in connection with the promotion of the Site, in any medium. You retain ownership.
  • You must not submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, deceptive, or that infringes copyright, privacy or confidentiality.
  • We may moderate, edit, refuse or remove any submission at our discretion, without giving reasons. We are under no obligation to monitor submissions, and we do not undertake to do so.
  • Where a submission is made in confidence — a source approaching us about a story — we will treat it as confidential and will resist disclosure so far as the law permits.

9. Third-party links

The Site links to external websites. Those links are provided for the reader’s convenience and because we believe the destination is a useful primary source. We do not control those sites, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their content, their availability, their advertising or their handling of your data.

10. Advertising and commercial content

The Site may carry advertising and clearly labelled commercial content. Advertising is identified as such. Commercial features are labelled “Sponsored”, “Paid partnership” or “Advertisement feature” at the top of the piece, in accordance with our Advertising page and with Italian and EU rules on the identification of advertising.

We are not a party to any transaction between you and an advertiser. Any dealing you have with an advertiser, including the supply of goods or services and any terms attaching to them, is a matter between you and that advertiser alone.

11. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. In particular, nothing in these Terms affects the mandatory rights of a consumer under Italian Legislative Decree No. 206 of 6 September 2005 (the Consumer Code) or under any other mandatory provision of the law of your country of residence.

Subject to the above, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • the Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of accuracy, completeness, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose;
  • we exclude liability for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of anticipated saving, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential loss, however arising;
  • we exclude liability for any loss arising from your reliance on any content on the Site, from any decision to travel, to buy, to sell or to act taken on the basis of it, or from any inaccuracy in it;
  • we exclude liability for any loss arising from the unavailability of the Site, from any virus or harmful component that may infect your equipment, or from the acts or omissions of any third party, including advertisers and linked sites;
  • our total aggregate liability to you in respect of all claims arising out of or in connection with the Site, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, is limited to one hundred euros (€100), or, if greater, the total amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

12. Indemnity

If you use the Site in breach of section 5 or section 8, you agree to indemnify us against any claim, demand, loss, liability, cost or expense, including reasonable legal fees, that we incur as a result. This does not apply where you are acting as a consumer for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession.

13. Suspension and termination

We may withdraw your access to the Site, or to any interactive feature of it, immediately and without notice, if we consider in good faith that you have breached these Terms. We may also take any other action we reasonably consider appropriate, including issuing a warning, removing content, blocking an IP address, and taking legal proceedings.

14. Force majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including failure of telecommunications or internet infrastructure, cyber-attack, power failure, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic, industrial action, act of government, war or civil disturbance.

15. Severability, waiver and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision is severed and the remainder continues in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it, and no waiver of a breach is a waiver of any subsequent breach.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, the Disclaimer and the DMCA Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to your use of the Site.

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter or formation, including non-contractual disputes or claims, are governed by and construed in accordance with Italian law.

The courts of Milan, Italy have exclusive jurisdiction. This does not deprive a consumer of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country in which they are habitually resident, and a consumer domiciled in the European Union may bring proceedings in, and may only be sued in, the courts of their own place of domicile, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 1215/2012.

Consumers resident in the European Union may also use the online dispute resolution facilities made available by the European Commission, without prejudice to their right to bring proceedings before a court.

17. Language

These Terms are published in English. Where a translation is provided for convenience and there is any inconsistency, the English version prevails, save where mandatory consumer protection law requires otherwise.
