Information may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date: always verify with the official source before making decisions
We are not liable for users' experiences, choices or decisions based on the content
Original content is protected by copyright and may not be reused without authorisation

By using MyTaormina, you fully accept these Terms.

1. Publisher

Enrico Moschella, self-employed professional
VAT no.: IT06278590879
Registered address: 95016 Mascali (CT), Italy
Single contact email (general, legal, privacy): info@mytaormina.app

The service is provided free of charge, openly accessible, without registration, for purely informational purposes.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing or otherwise using the MyTaormina service (website, web app, related content), the user declares having read, understood and fully accepted these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. If the user does not agree to any part of these Terms, they must refrain from using the service.

3. Nature of the service — informational, not professional

The content published on MyTaormina (texts, place sheets, itineraries, maps, practical information, images, data) has purely informational, editorial and cultural purposes.

The content does not constitute, in any case:

Tourist, professional or personalised advisory
Any guarantee of accuracy, completeness, currency or adequacy of the information
Qualified or personalised recommendations of operators, places or services
Technical, legal, health, tax, safety or other specialist opinions

The opinions expressed reflect the personal viewpoint of the author at the time of publication and may change over time.

4. Disclaimer on third-party information and operators

MyTaormina may cite places, operators, events, products or services of third parties (museums, monuments, restaurants, hotels, B&Bs, hospitality businesses, transport, parking, attractions, event organisers, retailers, etc.) for purely descriptive, editorial and informational purposes.

The Publisher provides no warranty whatsoever as to accuracy, completeness, currency, truthfulness, safety, quality or availability of any information, including without limitation:

Opening hours, closures, temporary suspensions, holiday schedules
Prices of tickets, admissions, services, transport, products
Access conditions, requirements, accessibility, stairs, routes
Quality, professionalism, safety, hygiene or regulatory compliance of third-party operators
Weather, traffic, ZTL (restricted traffic zones), temporary bans, roadworks
Availability of public transport, shuttles, cable cars, parking
Reviews, ratings, rankings or ordering of cited places and operators

The user is required to verify independently any information against official sources (official site of the operator, info points, direct phone call, competent authorities) before making travel, booking, transport or spending decisions that depend on such information.

The places, operators and third-party services cited are not commercial partners of the Publisher. The Publisher receives no compensation from the parties cited, does not select them based on commercial criteria, and provides no warranty as to the quality, professionalism, regulatory compliance or experience at such parties.

The contractual, civil, accounting, economic or other relationship between user and third-party operator is exclusively bilateral between user and operator, and is entirely outside the Publisher's sphere.

5. Disclaimer of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the user acknowledges and accepts that the Publisher shall not be liable in any way for:

Direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, moral, pecuniary or non-pecuniary damages arising from the use or inability to use the service or content
Inaccuracies, errors, omissions, typos, imprecise translations, outdated data in the content
Variations in hours, prices, availability, conditions not promptly reflected in the content
Experiences, disputes, damage, delays, poor service, fraud or harm at third-party operators, even if cited in the content
Travel, purchase, booking, transport, dietary or other decisions made on the basis of the content
Interruptions, suspensions, malfunctions, temporary errors, maintenance, cyberattacks, data loss, force majeure events
Content, products, services, warranties, commercial practices, privacy or security policies of third-party sites, apps or platforms reachable via links in the service
Mismatch between editorial representation and reality on the ground
Personal injuries, accidents, illness or physical consequences during visits, excursions, routes or activities undertaken on the basis of the content
Any consequence arising from reliance on the content for any purpose

The user acknowledges and accepts that the service is provided "as is" and "as available", without any express or implied warranty, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, accuracy, non-infringement, continuity, security or absence of errors.

The foregoing does not exclude or limit liability which, under mandatory applicable law, cannot be excluded or limited (in particular wilful misconduct, gross negligence and consumers' non-waivable rights under Italian Legislative Decree 206/2005).

6. Limitation of liability

As this is a free service, provided without consideration, in the absence of any synallagmatic contractual relationship, no contractual liability of the Publisher can arise towards the user for the mere use of the service, except in cases of wilful misconduct, gross negligence or violation of non-waivable consumer rights.

Should — notwithstanding the above — any liability of the Publisher be judicially established, it shall in any event be limited, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to direct, immediate and foreseeable damages only, at the time of use of the service, excluding any indirect, consequential damage, loss of profit, loss of chance, opportunities or reputation.

7. User indemnification

Subject to mandatory consumer rights under Legislative Decree 206/2005 (Italian Consumer Code), this indemnity applies to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The user undertakes to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Publisher (and any collaborators, contractors and suppliers) from any claim, demand, complaint, action, proceeding, assessment, penalty, damage, cost or expense (including legal fees and consultancy costs) brought by third parties and arising out of or connected with:

Breach of these Terms by the user
Improper, unlawful or unauthorised use of the service or content
Violation of third-party rights (intellectual property, privacy, honour, reputation, personal data, etc.) committed by the user in using the service
Content, communications, materials or reports transmitted by the user to the Publisher or through the service

8. Acceptable use of the service

Extracting, harvesting, copying, downloading, indexing, massively or systematically archiving content via scraping, crawling, bots, automated scripts, software agents, RPA or similar techniques
Using the service's content, in whole or in part, to train, evaluate, feed, integrate or develop artificial intelligence models, machine learning systems, datasets, LLMs or similar services, without prior written authorisation from the Publisher
Reproducing, distributing, publishing, communicating to the public, modifying, translating or creating derivative works from the content without written authorisation
Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, altering or attempting to access the source code of the service

Bypassing technical protection measures, access restrictions or usage limits
Submitting or transmitting — through any forms or channels — unlawful, false, defamatory, offensive, discriminatory, obscene content, or content in violation of third-party rights or mandatory rules

Third-party trademarks and distinctive signs possibly cited in the content (names of places, hotels, restaurants, events, products, etc.) belong exclusively to their respective owners and are used exclusively for editorial, descriptive, informational and nominative purposes (lawful use under applicable law). MyTaormina is in no way affiliated with, sponsored, authorised or endorsed by such parties.

It is prohibited to reproduce, redistribute, republish, communicate to the public or reuse the content, in whole or in part, without prior written authorisation from the Publisher.

10. Editorial tools

The content is editorially curated by the Publisher, also with the support of software tools (including automated translation and writing-assistance solutions based on generative artificial intelligence technologies), as part of ordinary digital editorial activity. Such support does not alter the purely informational nature of the content nor the liability reservations under §3, §4 and §5.

11. Minimum age

The service is not intended for minors under 14 years of age. Minors aged between 14 and 18 may use the service under the supervision and responsibility of a parent or guardian. The Publisher does not knowingly collect data of minors under 14 (see art. 2-quinquies of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003).

12. Links to third-party sites

The service may contain links to sites, apps, platforms or services operated by third parties. Such links are provided for the user's convenience and do not imply any verification, approval, warranty or assumption of liability by the Publisher as to content, services, products, security, privacy policies or commercial practices of the linked sites. Access to and use of third-party sites is at the user's sole risk, subject to the terms and conditions of such sites.

13. Changes to the service and Terms

The Publisher reserves the right, at its sole discretion and at any time, to:

Modify, integrate, suspend, limit or terminate, in whole or in part, the service or its features, including without notice and without any obligation toward users
Update these Terms, in particular in case of service evolution, regulatory changes or organisational needs

Substantial changes to the Terms will be notified on the service homepage for at least 30 days. Continued use of the service after publication of the change constitutes full acceptance of the new Terms. A user who does not wish to accept may cease using the service at any time.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed exclusively by Italian law.

For disputes with consumers under Italian Legislative Decree 206/2005, the courts of the consumer's place of residence or elected domicile shall have exclusive jurisdiction (art. 66-bis of the Italian Consumer Code).
For disputes with non-consumers or users residing outside the European Union, the Court of Messina, Italy shall have exclusive jurisdiction, to the exclusion of any other alternative or concurrent forum.

15. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

For consumers, in the event of a dispute, the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures provided by the Italian Consumer Code may be used, including the mandatory mediation under art. 5 of Italian Legislative Decree 28/2010 before commencing court action. The European ODR platform (Regulation (EU) 524/2013) was shut down on 20 July 2025 following Regulation (EU) 2024/3228.

16. Severability

Should any clause of these Terms be, in whole or in part, void, invalid, ineffective or unenforceable by law, regulation or court ruling, the remaining clauses shall remain fully valid and effective. The void or ineffective clause shall be replaced, to the extent permitted by law, by a valid provision pursuing as far as possible the original economic and legal purpose.

17. Tolerance and waiver

Any tolerance by the Publisher of user conduct not in compliance with the Terms does not constitute a waiver of its rights nor a tacit amendment of the Terms, and the Publisher retains the full right to require compliance with the clauses at any time.

18. Communications

Official communications from the user to the Publisher concerning these Terms must be sent in writing to the email addresses indicated in §1. The Publisher communicates with the user through the service or, where available, through the email addresses possibly provided by the user.

19. Final provisions

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between user and Publisher regarding the use of the service, and supersede any prior agreement, communication or understanding, written or oral, between the parties on the same subject matter.
