Terms of Service

Last updated: 9 October 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website www.ilariafiore.com (the “Website”), operated by Ilaria Pia Fiore, a freelance professional working under the name “Ilaria Fiore” (“I”, “me”, “my”).

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. About the website

The Website is my personal professional website. It presents my profile, my work and the services I offer in venture and ecosystem development, events and storytelling, and education and public engagement, including space and STEM outreach programmes for schools, teachers and institutions.

No products or services are sold or contracted online through the Website.

In accordance with Italian Legislative Decree no. 70/2003, the Website is operated by:

Ilaria Pia Fiore
VAT number (P. IVA): 04556140715
Email: info@ilariafiore.com

2. Acceptance of the Terms

By accessing or using the Website, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms.

The Website is intended for adults. If you use the Website or contact me on behalf of a company, school, institution or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to act on its behalf.

3. Access to the website

Access to the Website is free and requires no registration. It is provided on a temporary and non-exclusive basis.

I may modify, suspend, restrict or discontinue any part of the Website at any time, without prior notice.

4. Nature of the content

The content of the Website, including my profile, descriptions of services, case studies, course and workshop descriptions and articles, is provided for general information and to present my professional activity.

It is not an offer that can be accepted online, and it does not constitute professional, legal, financial, investment or technical advice. Descriptions of courses, workshops and programmes (such as duration, formats, age groups and materials) are indicative and are confirmed in a specific proposal.

5. Professional engagements

Any professional service, such as business development, consulting, event management, talks, workshops, courses or teacher training, is governed by a separate written proposal, quote or agreement. That document sets out the scope, deliverables, timing, fees, payment terms and cancellation conditions, and it prevails over these Terms in case of conflict.

Fees are agreed in writing before work begins. Invoices are issued in accordance with Italian tax law and the tax regime that applies to me at the time of invoicing.

Booking an introductory call through the Website is free and does not create any obligation for either party.

6. Portfolio and third-party names

The Website describes projects carried out with or for third-party organisations, such as companies, startups, schools, associations and events. Their names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used only to describe my professional experience. Mentioning them does not imply that they endorse the Website or are responsible for its content.

Project descriptions reflect my role and are accurate to the best of my knowledge at the time of publication. They may not reflect later developments of the projects or organisations concerned.

7. Communications and information you send

When you contact me through the contact form, by email or by booking a call:

• you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are entitled to share it;
• I treat what you share with discretion, but no formal confidentiality obligation arises until a confidentiality agreement (NDA) is signed. Please do not send trade secrets or confidential documents before then;
• sending a project, idea or proposal does not oblige me to reply, to collaborate or to pay any compensation.

Personal data you send is processed as described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Intellectual property rights

All content of the Website, including texts, photographs, the signature logo, graphics, layout and the descriptions of courses and educational programmes, is owned by me or used under licence, and is protected by Italian copyright law (Law no. 633/1941) and other intellectual property laws. Third-party materials, such as certificates and logos, remain the property of their respective owners.

You may view the Website, share links to it and quote short excerpts with attribution and a link to the source. Any other use, including reproduction, adaptation or commercial use, requires my prior written consent.

Educational materials provided during courses, workshops or training sessions are subject to the terms of the specific agreement under which they are delivered.

9. Acceptable use

When using the Website, you agree not to:

• use it for unlawful purposes or in violation of these Terms;
• send spam, automated or abusive messages through the contact form;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website or its infrastructure, or interfere with its security or operation;
• impersonate other people or organisations, or provide false information.

10. Third-party links and services

The Website contains links to third-party websites and services, such as LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Calendly and the websites of organisations I work with.

I do not control and am not responsible for the content, availability or practices of these third parties. Their use is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The Website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

I make no representations or warranties, whether express or implied, regarding the uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Website, the completeness or accuracy of its content, or its suitability for any particular purpose. You use the Website at your own discretion and risk.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, I shall not be liable for any damages arising from:

• the use of, or inability to use, the Website;
• reliance on the information published on the Website;
• the content, actions or services of third parties, including linked websites;
• interruptions, errors or technical issues not attributable to me.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence (Article 1229 of the Italian Civil Code), or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including under mandatory consumer protection rules.

13. Force majeure

I shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing my obligations under these Terms caused by events beyond my reasonable control. Such events include, but are not limited to, natural disasters, acts of government, war, terrorism, strikes, power or Internet outages, cyber incidents, pandemics and failures of third-party service providers.

In such circumstances, my obligations are suspended for the duration of the event.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold me harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses or expenses arising from:

• your violation of these Terms or of applicable law;
• information or materials you send me that infringe the rights of third parties.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Italy.

For disputes with businesses, professionals and organisations, the Court of Foggia (Italy) has exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer, you keep the protection granted by the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and disputes fall under the jurisdiction of the court of your place of residence or domicile, where this is in Italy (Article 66-bis of the Italian Consumer Code).

16. Changes to the Terms

I may update these Terms at any time. The updated version will be published on the Website with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Website after the changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

17. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a competent court, that provision shall be modified or severed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and me regarding the use of the Website. Professional engagements are governed by their own specific agreements.
