Condiciones de uso

1. Acceptance

By visiting, using or viewing Il Sartoriale (the "Site") you agree to these Terms of Use and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Site.

2. The Site is information, not advice

The Site is an educational and reference publication about clothing, craft and the businesses that practise them. Nothing on it constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, business, employment or purchasing advice, nor does it represent the opinion of, counsel from, or a recommendation by Il Sartoriale or any of its affiliates, operators or partners. Nothing on the Site constitutes a recommendation that any particular maker, garment, commission, purchase, transaction or course of action is suitable for any specific person. Il Sartoriale is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer or financial planner and does not hold itself out as any of these.

3. Publisher's status

Il Sartoriale is a bona fide publication of general and regular circulation. To the extent that any content on the Site touches on the value, price, resale or collectability of goods, it is published as general commentary of the kind contemplated by the publisher's exclusion at section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and comparable provisions elsewhere: the content is impersonal, is not tailored to any individual's circumstances, is not issued in response to any particular event intended to prompt a transaction, and is offered to the public generally rather than to clients.

4. Accuracy and currency

Information on the Site is compiled from sources believed to be reliable, but may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. Prices in particular are historical observations, not quotations: each carries the date it was observed and whether it came from the maker or from reporting, and prices change without notice. Nothing on the Site is an offer, and no maker is bound by a figure recorded here. Always verify against the primary source, and confirm any price with the house, before acting.

5. Limitation of liability

All viewers agree that under no circumstances will Il Sartoriale, its operators, partners, officers, employees, affiliates or agents be held liable for any loss or damage (direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise) caused by your reliance on information obtained here, by your use of or inability to use the Site, or by any error or omission in its content. The Site is provided "as is" and without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

6. Intellectual property

Text, structured records, diagrams and the arrangement of the Site are the property of Il Sartoriale. Photographs remain the property of their creators and are used under the licences displayed with each image; the licence, not these Terms, governs what you may do with a photograph. News headlines and summaries remain the property of their publishers. You may quote briefly from the Site with attribution and a link. Systematic copying of the database, or scraping it to reconstitute it elsewhere, is not permitted.

7. Third-party links

The Site links to makers, publications and archives it does not control. Those links are not endorsements, and Il Sartoriale is not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability or practices of any external site.

8. Commercial relationships

No maker pays to appear on the Site or to influence how it is described. If affiliate or sponsored arrangements are introduced they will be disclosed at the point of use in accordance with the Affiliate Disclosure and applicable advertising rules.

9. Acceptable use

Do not use the Site to break the law, to interfere with its operation, or to place automated load on it beyond ordinary reading. A free read-only API is provided for programmatic access; please use it rather than scraping pages.

10. Changes

These Terms may be updated; the date at the top records when. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of it.
