(14) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Sprintrade guarantees that the software used for the activities of the SPRINTRADE ADVERTISING NETWORK is properly tested and fully functional. It allows to monitor, direct and record the traffic generated by the Publisher’s website correctly. 
Nevertheless, the parties agree that malfunction and/or failure of the software used in SPRINTRADE ADVERTISING NETWORK are caused by force majeure pursuant to and in accordance with the Italian Civil Code. 
This means that Advertiser will not ask Sprintrade for compensation and/or damages. However, Sprintrade must (bona fides) do everything it can to remove the causes of malfunction from the system in the shortest time possible.
Both parties expressly agree that Sprintrade cannot be held liable for the effects caused by the site being difficult to use, for electronic malfunction, for lack of communication between servers, for the consequences of defects or holes in the software system used to manage the SPRINTRADE ADVERTISING NETWORK and for the consequences of Network inactivity caused by ordinary and extraordinary maintenance and/or implementation activities.
Sprintrade regularly checks the contents of the Publishers’ websites and their advertising activity.
However, Advertiser is aware and accepts that Sprintrade has no power over the contents of the Publishers’ websites or over the way they advertise the Advertiser’ products/services.
Therefore, it is expressly agreed that Sprintrade cannot be held liable for changes in the contents of the Publishers' websites that advertise the Advertiser's Advertising Programs, even when the contents break the rules of conduct listed by Sprintrade or if the Advertiser's Program is advertised in a fraudulent way.
However, Sprintrade will immediately investigate all reports from Advertiser concerning alleged violations of the code of conduct by Publishers hosting Creatives.
Advertiser is aware and accepts that Sprintrade cannot be held liable for the effects caused by problems in the system supplied to it by telecommunications companies, by ordinary and extraordinary maintenance activities, by delays and/or interruptions of the service or the internet. Likewise, Sprintrade cannot be held liable for the effects caused by events/factors that cannot be foreseen/prevented, caused by third parties or by natural causes, by chance or force majeure.
Advertiser is personally responsible for all the elements and tools used to make and publish its website (even if it employs third parties to do so). Should disputes arise over services or goods provided directly or indirectly, over mistakes in the contents or in messages or in the information supplied to third parties, as well as over mistakes and failure in the registration of orders, failed processing of orders, problems in transport, lack of insurance, economic damage or missed out income, and for all other similar cases, Advertiser will be the only party liable. Advertiser holds Sprintrade harmless of all the consequences, effects and involvement in such disputes. 
Each party is responsible for the use, development and maintenance of their website (including the contents and materials of said websites). Both parties will constantly work to keep the site functional, especially during working hours.
Even if there is proof that Sprintrade is at fault, Sprintrade will, in any case, be liable only to refund the Commissions paid to the Advertiser in the trimester the events occurred. No other compensation will be given.
Although both parties agree that the system will, occasionally, be down for some time (and that this malfunction is tolerable and impossible to avoid), both parties agree to immediately warn the other party, in order to find a way to restore the system to its working state as soon as possible. 

(15) GOVERNING LAW AND PLACE OF JURISDICTION
This agreement is governed by Italian law.
Should any dispute arise over the existence, validity, interpretation or execution of this contract, an Arbitration Panel will be formed (in Rome). Three members (one designed by each party and the third designed by the two parties together or, if this is not possible, by the President of the Court of Rome) will act as arbitrators, in compliance with the Arbitration Rules of the Chamber of Commerce of Rome, as published in the “Camera Arbitrale CCIAA ROMA – Servizio Arbitrale” [Arbitration Chamber, Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Handicraft and Agriculture of Rome - Arbitration Service]. The parties agree they have read and understood the Arbitration Rules. 
The Arbitration Panel will proceed according to standard procedures and based on Italian law. It will reach a decision no later than 90 days from the day the arbitration ruling is formed. The ruling’s decision is binding. 

(16) CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
Both parties will treat the data provided by the other as private and confidential. They will not disclose the data to unauthorized people or use them for purposes that are not those they were collected for, in good faith and in compliance with the terms and conditions of this contract.
In any case, Sprintrade will use the Advertiser’s data solely for the purposes listed below.
- Execution of this contract
- Execution of the legal and tax-related obligations related to this contract.
Advertiser must be aware that its consent to processing of own data is required to meet the obligations linked with this contract.
Failure to provide that consent will not allow Sprintrade to process the Advertiser’s data and therefore it will not be possible to make this contract effective.
Refusal and/or denying permission to processing of personal data will make data processing impossible and, therefore, the contract will not be effective.
Sprintrade will provide the Advertiser’s data only to its staff – including external consultants employed to manage legal and/or tax-related matters related to Sprintrade’s activity – in order to perform the activities related to the obligations linked with the new contract. It will provide the data to third parties if it is required to do so by the law.
All the rights established by the law, especially those listed in and governed by Law 196/2003 and subsequent amendments and/or integrations, are expressly acknowledged.
The content of this contract is protected by copyright and by international laws and agreements regarding copyright. Any unauthorised use of the content of this contract is considered a violation of copyright laws, of trademark rights and of civil and penal laws.
