1)    The ITALEGAL law office is neither a partnership nor a company. Each practitioner operates independently and is solely responsible for his or her work, acting on instructions conferred on the individual practitioner, whether formally or informally. Practitioners share only certain management services and there is no joint or joint and several liability between members of the grouping. Any claim must be made exclusively against the individual practitioner or practitioners who have actually carried out the work, up to a maximum of five times the net fee paid for work on the particular matter on which the claim is based. The place of performance of all the obligations of the parties in any way deriving from the giving and/or carrying-out of instructions is exclusively Verona, which is the address for service of all the practitioners; and this applies even if work has been wholly or partly carried out elsewhere.

2)    The professional contract between client and practitioner is governed by Italian law in force at the time of starting the professional relationship and the courts having exclusive jurisdiction in any dispute between client and practitioner are those of Verona, save that the practitioner, in cases permitted by law, may choose to take proceedings in the place where the client has its registered office, residence or address for service.

3)    These conditions shall override any other general conditions of the other parties and no derogation from them shall be valid unless agreed in writing.
