This is a courtesy translation. The legally binding version is the Italian one; in case of any discrepancy, the Italian text prevails.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the use of the Giffit application ("the Service"), developed and operated by Michele Furgeri ("the Provider"). By registering or using the Service, you fully accept these Terms.
Note for consumers: if you are a consumer under the Italian Consumer Code (Legislative Decree 206/2005), any clauses of these Terms do not apply to the extent that they conflict with mandatory consumer-protection rules. In case of conflict, the legal provisions protecting consumers prevail.
1. Acceptance of the Terms
Use of the Service is subject to acceptance of these Terms and of the Privacy Policy. If you do not accept, you may not use the Service. You must be at least 16 years old to register.
Consent to personalization via browsing data is optional and does not condition access to the Service. You can change this preference at any time from Profile → Settings → Privacy.
2. Description of the Service
Giffit is an application for managing wishlists, life events and personalized gift suggestions. The Service includes:
- Wishlist and gift-list management
- Events calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.)
- Connections with other users
- AI-generated gift suggestions
- Chat between connected users
- In-app browser to explore products
The Service is currently provided free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce paid premium features in the future, with prior notice to users of at least 30 days.
3. Registration and Account
You are responsible for the security of your login credentials and for all activity carried out through your account. You must provide accurate information at registration. You may not create accounts on behalf of third parties without their express authorization. Each user may have only one account.
In the event of suspected unauthorized access to your account, please contact us immediately at info@giffit.me.
4. "As Is" Service and Availability
The Service is provided "as is", without warranties of continuous availability or freedom from errors. We strive to ensure maximum operational continuity, but we are not liable for interruptions due to scheduled maintenance, technical failures, force majeure events or causes beyond our reasonable control.
Scheduled maintenance interruptions will be communicated, where possible, with at least 24 hours' advance notice via in-app notification. No compensation is due for temporary interruptions of the Service.
5. AI Suggestions
Gift suggestions generated by artificial intelligence are purely indicative and do not constitute professional purchasing advice. The Provider is not liable for purchasing decisions based on such suggestions. The quality of suggestions depends on the information provided by the user and on the inherent limits of the third-party AI models used, routed through OpenRouter (the model used may vary over time).
AI suggestions do not constitute binding automated decisions within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. You have the right to contest them and request human review by writing to info@giffit.me.
6. User-Generated Content
Users may enter content into the Service (wishlist text, chat messages, profile information, event descriptions). The user is solely responsible for the content they publish or share through the Service.
It is not permitted to enter content that is:
- Illegal or in violation of applicable regulations
- Defamatory, offensive, threatening or discriminatory
- In violation of third-party intellectual property rights
- Containing personal data of third parties without their explicit consent
- Constituting spam, phishing or unauthorized commercial content
We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms, giving notice to the user where possible.
7. User Conduct
It is prohibited to use the Service to:
- Violate applicable laws or third-party rights
- Attempt to access the Service, systems or other users' accounts without authorization
- Collect other users' data without their consent
- Use automated systems (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Service
- Interfere with the operation of the Service, compromise its security or overload its systems
- Distribute malware or malicious code through the Service
- Impersonate other users or entities
8. Suspension and Termination of the Account
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the account, temporarily or permanently, in the following cases:
- Serious or repeated breach of these Terms
- Fraudulent, abusive or unlawful activity
- Request by competent authorities
- Prolonged inactivity beyond 24 consecutive months
Except where prevented by legal obligations or where there is urgency (e.g. an active security threat), we will communicate the suspension or termination by email, stating the reasons and the deadline to submit any objection to info@giffit.me.
9. Intellectual Property
The Service, including logo, design, source code and all related materials, is the exclusive property of Michele Furgeri and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
Content entered by users (wishlists, events, messages, etc.) remains the property of the users themselves. The user grants the Provider a non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free and limited license to process such content in order to provide the Service's features (including the generation of AI suggestions). This license does not authorize transfer to third parties nor use for purposes other than providing the Service. The license terminates automatically upon account deletion.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable Italian law, the Provider shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from the use of or inability to use the Service, including: loss of data, loss of profit, business interruption.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the Provider's liability for:
- Wilful misconduct or gross negligence
- Death or personal injury caused by negligence
- Breach of mandatory rights under the Italian Consumer Code (Legislative Decree 206/2005)
- Any other case in which the limitation is not permitted by Italian law
11. Indemnification
The user agrees to hold the Provider harmless from claims, damages, costs and reasonable legal expenses arising from: (a) the user's breach of these Terms; (b) unlawful content entered by the user into the Service; (c) the user's violation of third-party rights through the Service.
This clause does not apply to the extent that it conflicts with the mandatory rules of the Italian Consumer Code.
12. Communications
Communications relating to the Service (Terms updates, security notices, account notifications) are sent through:
- Email to the address associated with the account
- Push notifications (if enabled)
- In-app notifications
It is the user's responsibility to keep the account email address up to date.
13. Withdrawal and Account Deletion
The user may withdraw at any time by deleting their account directly from the app (Profile → Settings → Delete account). Deletion entails the erasure of all associated personal data within the timeframes set out in the Privacy Policy.
For digital services performed immediately with the user's explicit consent, the legal 14-day right of withdrawal under Art. 52 of the Consumer Code is excluded pursuant to Art. 59(a) and (o) of the same Code. The user may nonetheless stop using the Service and delete the account at any time at no cost or penalty.
14. Changes to the Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms. Changes will be classified as:
- Material changes (new obligations, feature limitations, new costs): notice with at least 30 days' advance notice via in-app notification and/or email. The user may refuse the changes by deleting their account before they take effect.
- Non-material changes (editorial corrections, clarifications): update with in-app communication.
Continued use of the Service after material changes take effect, by anyone who has not expressed dissent, constitutes acceptance. The updated version is always available at giffit.me/en/terms.html.
15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by Italian law. For any dispute relating to the Service, the competent court is the Court of Lodi.
For users who qualify as consumers under the Consumer Code (Legislative Decree 206/2005), by way of derogation from the above, the competent court is that of the consumer's place of residence or habitual domicile, where located within Italy or the European Union.
As an alternative to court proceedings, EU consumers may use the European Commission's ODR (Online Dispute Resolution) platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
16. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by a competent authority, the remaining provisions will remain fully valid and effective (severability clause). Failure to exercise a right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of it.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between the user and the Provider in relation to the Service and supersede any prior agreement or understanding.
