AGREEMENT TO TERMS
By accessing and using the Before You Buy Italy website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this site and our services.
These terms apply to our informational and educational service only.
Service Description
What We Provide
Before You Buy Italy provides an informational and educational service designed to help foreign buyers understand Italian property documents. Our service includes document translation summaries, plain English explanations, and educational overviews to help you better understand complex legal documents.
Service Limitations
Our service is strictly informational and educational. We do not provide legal advice, technical certification, compliance verification, professional consultation, or any form of guarantee about property transactions. You must consult qualified professionals for all legal, technical, and financial matters.
Service Packages
We offer three service packages (Basic, Standard, Premium) with different levels of document coverage and support. All packages provide informational overviews only and do not constitute professional advice of any kind.
User Responsibilities and Obligations
Information Accuracy
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information when submitting requests. You are responsible for ensuring all documents and information provided are legitimate and properly authorized for review.
Professional Consultation
You acknowledge and agree that you will consult qualified Italian legal professionals, technical experts, financial advisors, and other appropriate specialists before making any property-related decisions. Our informational service is not a substitute for professional advice.
Appropriate Use
You agree to use our service only for legitimate informational purposes related to Italian property document understanding. You will not use our service for any illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purposes.
Decision Making
You accept full responsibility for all decisions related to your property purchase or investment. You understand that our informational service provides educational content only and does not constitute recommendations about whether to proceed with any transaction.
Payment Terms and Service Delivery
Payment Process
Payment is required only after we review your request and confirm we can provide the informational service you need. We will send you a secure customer area link after approval, where you can pay with PayPal or card. No payment is collected until we confirm we can help with your specific documents.
Service Delivery
We aim to deliver informational overviews within 2-3 business days after payment and document receipt. Delivery times may vary based on document complexity and current workload. We will communicate any delays promptly.
Pricing
Our pricing is clearly displayed on our website and confirmed before payment. Prices are in Euros. We operate under Italian regime forfettario, so VAT is not charged on invoices according to applicable law. We reserve the right to update pricing for future services with reasonable notice.
Refund Policy
If we determine after payment that we cannot provide a meaningful informational overview of your documents, we will provide a full refund. Refunds are not available once we have delivered the completed informational service, as this is a digital service that cannot be returned.
