Use of Materials on the Platforms
The Creative Academy has created its various Platforms to provide information about the Creative Academy and its post-graduate Master of Arts programme for your personal use. You may download one computer copy, download the application on to your mobile device or print one copy of the material made available to you for your own non-commercial, educational, private or domestic use only, provided that proprietary notices, in particular intellectual property notices such as copyright©, trademark™, are preserved intact and are not modified, deleted or changed. Unless otherwise stated, you should assume that everything that you see or read on the Platforms (such as images, photographs, including any person represented in the photographs, illustrations, icons, texts, video clips, music, written and other materials) (“Creative Academy Material“) are protected by legislation such as copyright, designs and trademark legislation and under international treaty provisions and national laws worldwide.
You are not authorised to sell, reproduce, distribute, communicate, modify, display, publicly perform, report or otherwise prepare derivative or second hand works based on or use any Creative Academy Material in any way for any public or commercial purposes. Furthermore, Creative Academy Material may not be displayed or communicated on any other platform, in a networked computer environment or on any other digital platform for any purpose whatsoever. In the event of breach of any of these Terms of Use, your permission to use Creative Academy Material will automatically terminate and any copies made of Creative Academy Material must be immediately destroyed. Any unauthorised use of Creative Academy Material may infringe copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and communications regulations and statutes.
Your submissions and unsolicited communications
This section concerns communications sent to the Creative Academy. It does not concern the communication of personal information to the Creative Academy by phone or through the Platform. The latter is governed by the rules stipulated in the Privacy Policy.
Any unsolicited communication or material that you transmit to the Creative Academy via the Platforms, by electronic mail or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any data, questions or answers, comments, suggestions, or the like will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary by Creative Academy. By sending communications to the Creative Academy, you automatically grant the Creative Academy a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display such communication(s) alone, or as a part of other works in any form, media, or technology whether now known of hereafter developed and to sublicense such rights to anyone. Anything that you transmit may be used by the Creative Academy and its affiliated companies for any purpose, including but not limited to reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast and posting, or developing, manufacturing and marketing products using such information.
Furthermore, Creative Academy enjoys a worldwide reputation for design for applied arts in a number of different fields, notably jewellery, watches and fashion accessories. Its students and teachers are highly trained designers and therefore the Creative Academy cannot agree to or accept to be the receiver of unsolicited proposals of collaboration. Indeed, it is conceivable that the Creative Academy may already be working on similar ideas and/or creations. Consequently, you are advised that Creative Academy is not interested in receiving ideas or other proposals relating to creations they may wish to submit.

However, Creative Academy does not warrant or represent that Creative Academy’s Material is accurate, error-free or reliable or that use of Creative Academy Material will not infringe rights of third parties. Your use of the Platforms is at your own risk.
The Creative Academy does not warrant that the functional and/or technical aspects of the Platforms or the Creative Academy Material will be error free or that the Platforms, Creative Academy Material or the servers that make them available are free of viruses or other harmful components. If use of the Platforms or Creative Academy Material results in the need for servicing or replacing property, material, equipment, data or other element, Creative Academy is not responsible for those costs. Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the Platforms is provided to you “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REASONABLE CARE AND SKILL, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. The Creative Academy and its suppliers make no warranties about the Creative Academy Material, software, text, downloads, graphics, and links, or about results to be obtained from using the Platforms.
Under no circumstances whatsoever shall the Creative Academy be liable for any loss arising out of or in connection with the use of information available from the Platforms whether direct or indirect including, without limitation, any liability relating to any loss of use, interruption of business, lost profits or lost data, or incidental, special or consequential damages of any kind regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, even if Creative Academy has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Please note that in some jurisdictions consumer protection laws may not allow certain exclusions or limitation of warranties or liabilities, and consequently some of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply.

Other trademarks are proprietary marks and are registered to their respective owners.

General provisions
Unless otherwise specified, the information and materials presented on the Platforms are presented solely for the purpose of promoting the Creative Academy. The Creative Academy makes no representation that the Creative Academy Material is appropriate or available for use in every country of the world.

If any provision, or part of a provision, of these Terms of Use is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall be deemed not to form part of these Terms of Use, and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of these Terms of Use shall not be affected, unless otherwise required by operation of applicable law.
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the use of the Platform, and replace and extinguish all prior agreements, draft agreements, arrangements, undertakings, or collateral contracts of any nature made by the parties, whether oral or written, in relation to such subject matter.
The waiver by the Creative Academy of a breach of any provision of these Terms of Use will not operate to be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in relation to the Terms of Use, including the validity, invalidity, breach or termination thereof, shall be adjudicated or arbitrated in accordance with said Terms of Use. Where the laws of Italy are different to the mandatory consumer laws in your own country, we will afford you with similar protection.
