  2. The Client has been able to appreciate the Products and the related services offered by Talent Garden and wishes to place a purchase Order for the use of same.
  3. These General Conditions, the related annexes and the Orders confirmed or compiled in time and accepted by the Client, setting out the particular contractual conditions, identify the overall contractual framework between Talent Garden and the Client in respect of the conditions for purchase and use of Talent Garden’s Products and related services.

Entering into the Agreement, Acceptance and Amendments – Nature of the Agreement

  1. By accepting these General Conditions, the Client represents that it is vested with all rights and powers required for fully and effectively entering into and performing the agreement.
  2. The Client acknowledges that by accepting these General Conditions it is entering into a binding legal agreement with Talent Garden.
  3. The Client represents that it has already read, understood and accepted the “Terms of Service (TOS)” identified at the link https://knowledge.talentgarden.com/it/kb/termini-di-servizio.
  4. The Client represents that it is wholly aware that acceptance of the above by means of electronic tools constitutes a valid, binding act of consent. This also applies to any expressions of consent or acknowledgement of receipt of any communications or notifications provided by Talent Garden and relating to any amendments, revisions or cancellations in respect of policies, procedures and/or these General Conditions.
  5. The Client acknowledges that the sector in which Talent Garden operates as well as the services offered by same are characterised by a high degree of technical and regulatory complexity and by constant technological developments and market requirements, and consequently the need may arise for Talent Garden to adapt its organisation and/or the technical and functional structure of the services offered to its own client base (also in the interests of the latter). The Client therefore accepts that these General Contractual Conditions may be amended by Talent Garden at any time and for any reason.
  6. Talent Garden shall inform the Client of any of the aforementioned amendments, which must be accepted within the time limit of 30 days after the date on which notice of same is communicated, unless the Client decides to withdraw before expiry of this time limit without any consequences.
  7. Should this agreement differ from the standard conditions, it shall be filed and made available to the Client and may also be saved locally in PDF format.
  8. Talent Garden reserves the right to send receipt of Client acceptance by email, containing a summary of the Order, these General Conditions, information relating to the Products’ essential characteristics and the related services.
  9. The Client acknowledges that this agreement is an atypical transaction entered into primarily for the purpose of providing services, and so any references to workstations and co-working spaces – as part of the definition of “Products” – must not be understood as referring to tangible goods, but it is the parties’ intention that they should refer to working spaces inclusive of goods and services which are not physically determined and delimited. The Client accordingly recognises that the agreement does not give rise to it acquiring any rights of any type whatsoever over the real estate assets which are in Talent Garden’s possession, such as, by way of nonlimiting example, rights in rem, gratuitous loan for use, rental, and/or lease. By reason of its nature, neither does the agreement grant the Client any exclusive rights in respect of the Products purchased.

Registration and Use of the Platform

  1. In order to purchase the Products and the related services it is necessary to complete the registration procedure on the Platform. In order to complete registration on the Platform, Clients provide certain data such as username, email address and any other data indicated in the registration form.

  5. Talent Garden is unable to guarantee the identity of Clients using the Platform and so the Client must inform Talent Garden should it have reason to believe that its own account associated with the Platform has been stolen or subject to unlawful use by others. In all cases, Talent Garden incurs no liability for any fraudulent use of the Client’s account by third parties.
  6. Talent Garden advises the Client to report any theft, misappropriation or alleged misuse of their account to the police. Where necessary, Talent Garden undertakes to cooperate with the Client and the relevant authorities. In the event of fraud being committed, Talent Garden reserves the right to take all such measures as may be advisable in the circumstances should it be adversely affected by misuse of the Platform.
  7. By means of particular Platform features, where present, the Client may create and assign secondary users in order to allow individuals who are the Client’s employees and/or independent contractors to use the Products. The Client acknowledges and accepts that the aforementioned features to activate secondary users may not necessarily be available for all the Products. In the event that they are activated, the Client undertakes to ensure that all and any users use the Products and the related services in compliance with these General Conditions. The Client also acknowledges that any additions to and/or modifications of the users may give rise to changes to the consideration due, to the extent indicated in the specific section of the Platform.
  8. The Client acknowledges that Talent Garden may, without any forewarning, conduct checks on the correct activation of the Client’s account and the Products purchased by same. These checks may also be carried out with the assistance of digital programs such as for example tools for validating email addresses or telephone numbers. For purposes of such validation, the Client expressly authorises Talent Garden to use the information gathered within the framework of the verification activities referred to in this paragraph.
  9. Should the account and/or the Products not be correctly activated and/or used by the Client, Talent Garden may, without any forewarning, prevent use of the account and/or interrupt use of the Products.

If the Client wishes to purchase online, it must duly confirm and click on the “proceed to payment” button or otherwise on an equivalent button.
  3. For all information on payment authorisation, the Client should refer to the page on the Platform dedicated to the specific matter. Once payment has been received, Talent Garden shall proceed to issue the relevant tax document in accordance with the rules in force in the country where the payment is made.
  4. Purchase of the Products and the related services shall not be complete and shall be ineffective if the procedure described in this article is not correctly complied with.
