1. Purpose, scope and legal function of this disclaimer
This disclaimer sets out the conditions governing access to and use of the website, landing pages, informational materials, downloadable documents, editorial content, contact forms and any other digital resource made available by UESE ITALIA S.p.A. through its online channels. It supplements the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and other corporate documents published on the website, all of which must be read together and interpreted as part of a single governance framework.
The information published on the website is primarily intended for corporate, informational, educational and service-presentation purposes. Unless expressly stated otherwise and unless a specific engagement has been formally accepted, no content on the website constitutes legal, technical, regulatory, tax, medical, IT, audit or certification advice tailored to a particular case; nor does it amount to a binding offer to the public, a guaranteed result, or an automatic assumption of professional duties towards the user.
2. No personalised professional advice
The texts, summaries, practical examples, FAQs, white papers, checklists, playbooks, document outlines, legal references, operational comments and illustrative materials published on the website are not prepared on the basis of the user’s specific factual and legal situation and do not necessarily take into account all the contractual, regulatory, technical, sectoral, territorial, risk or jurisdictional variables that may be relevant in a particular case.
For that reason, no website content may be relied upon as a substitute for a specialist assessment addressing specific facts, documents, systems, processes, products, jurisdictions or compliance obligations. Decisions relating to governance, compliance, procurement, cybersecurity, workforce management, FDA registration, CE marking, NIS2 readiness, data protection, health and safety or regulated operations require a dedicated professional review, formally commissioned and supported by adequate documentary analysis.
3. Accuracy, updates and reasonable reliance
UESE uses reasonable care in preparing and updating the content published on the website, but does not warrant that every item of information will always be complete, error-free, fully up to date in light of evolving law, technology or regulatory practice, or suitable for every market, industry or jurisdiction. Some materials may be concise, illustrative, general in nature or linked to a specific point in time.
Users are therefore responsible for verifying the relevance, timeliness and applicability of website content to their own circumstances before relying on it as the sole basis for operational, commercial or investment decisions. Reasonable reliance on online materials should, where appropriate, be supported by further professional review, clarification requests, consultation of official sources and case-specific assessment.
4. No guarantee of outcome, approval or certification
Descriptions of services, competencies, methodologies, support pathways or case scenarios published on the website must not be interpreted as a guarantee that registrations, authorisations, certifications, inspections, regulatory clearances, grants, tender awards, full compliance outcomes, immunity from sanctions or complete risk elimination will be achieved. Outcomes depend, among other factors, on the quality of information provided by the client, the precise scope of work, cooperation by third parties, the applicable regulatory framework and the independent decisions of authorities or competent bodies.
References to prior experience, delivered projects, service areas, standards or methodologies describe the Company’s capabilities and track record, but do not amount to an undertaking that identical results will be achieved in different circumstances. Any indication of timing, complexity, costs, readiness level or expected impact is merely indicative unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
5. Deliverables, templates and downloadable materials
Templates, sample documents, models, brochures, editorial materials, illustrative policies, document extracts, informational tools, presentations and other resources made available through the website are provided “as is” and for informational or preliminary purposes only. They are not intended for automatic, indiscriminate or decontextualised use and may require substantial legal, technical, linguistic, sector-specific and organisational adaptation before they can be used in a live environment.
UESE disclaims any liability arising from improper, partial, decontextualised or unauthorised use of such materials by users, clients, partners or other third parties, including where the materials are modified, redistributed or reused without adequate professional review or beyond the permitted scope.
6. Regulatory, technical-legal and high-impact content
Website sections dealing, for example, with regulatory compliance, privacy, cybersecurity, whistleblowing, NIS2, ISO standards, medical devices, FDA matters, CE marking, occupational health and safety, organisational models, public sector services, contracts, auditing, welfare, governance or transparency should be understood as specialist informational material, but not as official interpretations, administrative acts, authority guidance or definitive statements of full compliance.
The laws, standards and rules referred to on the website may be subject to amendments, regulatory guidance, supervisory decisions, technical standards, case law developments or jurisdictional differences that materially affect the analysis of a specific case. Users remain responsible for identifying the applicable legal and regulatory framework and for obtaining appropriate professional support where required.
7. Relations with third parties, authorities and independent bodies
Unless expressly stated in a written engagement, UESE does not represent public authorities, notified bodies, certification bodies, accreditation bodies, contracting authorities, independent laboratories, supervisory bodies or external decision-makers. Information published on the website does not bind such entities, does not anticipate their determinations and must not be read as prior approval, endorsement or validation by them.
Any interaction with authorities, regulators, auditors, notified bodies, certification bodies, the US FDA, contracting authorities or other competent organisations is governed by their own rules and independent assessments, which remain outside the control of the website and, unless specifically mandated, outside the control of the Company itself.
8. Website availability, operational continuity and security
UESE seeks to maintain the website in a reasonably accessible and secure condition, but does not guarantee uninterrupted availability, absence of bugs, temporary outages, loading delays, device compatibility, transmission errors, undiscovered vulnerabilities or events arising from force majeure, cyber incidents, maintenance windows, provider outages or causes beyond its reasonable control.
The user acknowledges that the website operates through telecommunications infrastructure, cloud services, public networks and third-party technologies that may involve unavoidable technical limitations. UESE may suspend, restrict or modify functionalities, sections, documents or content at any time for maintenance, security, regulatory, protective or service-improvement reasons.
9. External links, third-party sources and embedded content
The website may contain hyperlinks, embedded resources, documentary references, legal citations, links to institutional portals, third-party platforms, public archives or informational resources not directly managed by UESE. Such references are provided solely for convenience, context or navigation support and do not imply continuous control, approval, sponsorship or assumption of responsibility for the linked resources’ content, availability, security, accuracy, privacy practices or terms of use.
Users who access third-party websites do so at their own risk and subject to the terms, policies and security standards of the relevant operator. UESE shall not be liable for damages, losses, malfunction, data breaches, unlawful content, errors or omissions attributable to third-party websites, services or documents.
10. Intellectual property, trademarks and reuse of content
Unless otherwise stated, the website, its information architecture, texts, layouts, documents, trademarks, logos, graphic elements, images, databases, software, downloadable resources and audiovisual materials are protected by applicable rules on intellectual property, copyright, unfair competition and distinctive signs. No part of the website may be copied, reproduced, adapted, distributed, published, translated, systematically extracted, commercially exploited or materially reused without prior written authorisation, except where expressly permitted by law.
Any third-party trademarks, logos, names or content appearing on the website remain the property of their respective rights holders and are used only to the extent permitted by informational, descriptive, referential or contractual purposes. Unauthorised use may trigger the remedies available under applicable law.
11. Lawful use of the website and prohibited conduct
Users undertake to use the website in compliance with applicable law, good faith, network security requirements and the rights of UESE and third parties. It is prohibited, among other things, to attempt unauthorised access, interfere with the operation of the website, introduce malware or harmful code, carry out systematic scraping or harvesting beyond lawful limits, use the website for defamatory, fraudulent, discriminatory or unlawful purposes, or submit false or misleading information through the website’s forms or communication channels.
UESE reserves the right to take any measure reasonably necessary to prevent, contain or respond to improper or unlawful use of the website, including preserving technical evidence where lawful, restricting access, reporting matters to competent authorities and exercising any civil, contractual or other available remedies.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, UESE shall not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or reputational damage, loss of profits, loss of opportunity, loss of data, business interruption, replacement costs, sanctions or any other prejudice arising out of the use of the website, inability to use it, exclusive reliance on website content, use of downloadable materials, access to third-party resources or events outside UESE’s reasonable control.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law, including non-waivable cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence where relevant. In any event, the user acknowledges that the website does not replace a formally established professional relationship and is not by itself a sufficient safeguard for critical decisions taken without adequate specialist support.
13. International users, jurisdictions and local restrictions
The website may be accessible to users located outside Italy. However, not all content, services or regulatory references are necessarily intended for or applicable in every country. Any user accessing the website from a jurisdiction other than Italy is responsible for verifying whether the use of the content is compatible with local law, including any rules relating to professional-services marketing, data protection, export controls, healthcare regulation, public procurement or other regulated sectors.
The mere accessibility of the website from a particular jurisdiction does not mean that UESE intends to offer services there, promote regulated activities requiring local licences, assume local regulatory obligations or submit automatically to legal regimes that would not otherwise apply.
14. Amendments, versioning and precedence of contractual documents
UESE reserves the right to update, supplement, correct or replace this disclaimer and any other website content at any time for legal, organisational, technological, editorial or risk-management reasons. The version published on the website is the version applicable at the time of consultation unless otherwise indicated.
In the event of any inconsistency between website content and contractual documents, engagement letters, statements of work, signed offers, accepted purchase orders, project policies or other formally approved documents between the parties, the latter shall prevail within the scope of their specific subject matter.
15. Contacts and clarification requests
For clarification requests concerning website content, the informational scope of published materials or the correct process for initiating a professional engagement, users may use the official contact details published on the website or the Contact us page. Communications sent through the website do not in themselves create an engagement, establish a professional relationship, complete a conflict-check process, guarantee a response within a defined timeframe or create obligations other than those expressly assumed in writing.
