  • Purpose of the contract
    • SEVIO s.r.l. (referred to as “SEVIO”) has designed and provides the User, who agrees to use it, with the SEVIO System (referred to as the “Service” or the “SEVIO System” without distinction) pursuant to this agreement.
    • The SEVIO System makes it possible to interlink several networks, making dialogue between Control Points (PCs, tablets, smartphones) and geographically dispersed networks or devices simple and immediate, in order to enable the User to carry out activities oriented towards industrial remote control, such as remote assistance, data collection, remote maintenance.
    • The SEVIO System consists of:
      1. SEVIO Router. Hardware device installed on board the machine, featuring network interfaces for connection to the Internet and to automation networks; SEVIO Router is supplied by SEVIO and its business partners.
      2. Control Stations. Personal devices (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) suitably configured by the User in order to operate on remote devices are defined as “Control Stations”.
      3. SEVIO Infrastructure. The infrastructure of networks, servers, networking equipment, etc. aimed at providing the Service, in particular:
        • Concentrators. Servers distributed geographically in order to act as end-points for VPN tunnels with SEVIO Routers and Control Stations.
        • SEVIO Portal. The control and management centre that allows the configuration and monitoring of the User’s SEVIO Routers in a secure, authenticated and authorised manner.
  • User’s obligations and compliance with the legislation of the place where the SEVIO Router is installed.
    • The User shall be obliged to use the SEVIO System in a prudent and responsible manner, and therefore undertakes not to use the SEVIO System:
      1. to violate the industrial or intellectual property rights or privacy rights of third parties;
      2. to obtain personal information or monitor others without authorisation;
      3. to violate the legislation of the country in which the User is located when using the SEVIO System or that of the place where the SEVIO Router is installed.
    • The User is responsible and obliged to comply with the legislation in force in the country in which the User installs the SEVIO Router and uses the SEVIO System and declares from now on that he or she will use it exclusively for lawful and legitimate purposes.
    • The User is aware that the use of communication systems is associated with specific security problems and consequently undertakes to adopt all appropriate measures to ensure the security of its systems, such as, including but not limited to: keeping credentials in safe places; not sharing credentials with other people; not reusing the same credentials for other services; keeping the Control Stations up to date and not
    • compromised; and promptly changing credentials in the event of a Control Station being compromised.
    • The User is entitled to extend his/her access rights to third parties, in which case the User assumes responsibility for the activities carried out by the persons delegated by him/her.
    • The User must ensure that the performance of his/her Internet connectivity is adequate for the User’s own needs and that the Service is suitable for the specific purpose requested by the User.
    • The User declares that he/she is aware that SEVIO makes its infrastructure available in order to use the SEVIO Router hardware and therefore accepts that any atypical uses, for example the use of routers other than that of SEVIO, unless expressly authorised by SEVIO, may result in the restriction and/or suspension of the Service.
    • The User undertakes not to abuse network resources, for example by producing abnormal traffic, even if legitimate.
    • The User undertakes to promptly notify SEVIO of any security vulnerability of which the User becomes aware by immediately informing SEVIO by means of a communication sent to security@sevio.it according to the principles of “responsible disclosure”.
  • Continuity of Service and SEVIO’s Obligations.
    • SEVIO's infrastructure adopts high quality hardware and systems, located in data centres of primary importance and equipped with backup power supply and connectivity; the Service is provided on a “best effort” basis: in this sense, SEVIO shall make every reasonable effort to ensure that the Services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
    • The User declares being aware of the fact that maintenance activities, i.e. causes of force majeure or line failures, could cause interruptions to the Service, and therefore in all such cases the User forthwith declares that he/she has nothing to claim from SEVIO, not even in terms of compensation.
    • In the event of necessary maintenance activity on the Service, SEVIO undertakes to schedule such activity outside the User’s office hours, unless causes beyond SEVIO’s control require such activity to be performed during office hours; SEVIO undertakes to inform the User of the time required for such activity if the time required for maintenance exceeds 1 hour.
    • Extraordinary and unforeseeable events (e.g. health emergencies, earthquakes, hurricanes, conflicts, rebellions, etc.) and in any case any event, independent of SEVIO’s acts or omissions, that prevents the regular use of the Service, constitute causes of force majeure.
    • Line faults on telephone lines belonging to and/or operated by third parties are anomalies that make it impossible for SEVIO to provide the Service.
  • Non-disclosure Commitment.
    • SEVIO undertakes to keep its infrastructure secure by adopting all best practices in terms of security, implementing multiple levels of protection, promptly updating the systems and adopting a corporate security management system.
    • SEVIO undertakes to keep secret and confidential any data or information of which it becomes aware, without prejudice to requests or instructions from judicial authorities.
    • SEVIO undertakes to:
      1. consider confidential information as strictly private and to adopt all reasonable measures aimed at keeping it as such;
      2. use confidential information solely for the purpose for which it was provided or disclosed, undertaking not to disclose it to third parties with respect to the Prior market consultation in question;
      3. not use such information in such a way as to cause any kind of damage to the parties involved in the Prior market consultation;
      4. not use in any way the data and information in question for commercial purposes, nor carry out activities based on them;
      5. ensure utmost confidentiality, also in compliance with current legislation on trademarks, copyrights and patents for industrial inventions and on the basis of national and EU privacy legislation, with regard to the know-how and all the information acquired, which may not in any way, in any case and for any reason whatsoever be used to the advantage of itself or others and/or disclosed and/or reproduced or otherwise made known to third parties.
    • The User acknowledges and accepts that the security of the entire SEVIO System is determined by the synergy of all users of the SEVIO System (Users, End Customers, Operators, etc.), and therefore undertakes to carefully assess and personally carry out an overall risk analysis, as the User remains the sole owner and party responsible for all data passing through the SEVIO infrastructure.
    • In any case, SEVIO undertakes to promptly notify the User of any violations of its data.
  • Suspension and Interruption of Service.
    • SEVIO shall be entitled to suspend the Service without notice and without this being a source of liability in the following cases:
      1. if required by laws or regulations or imposed by national or supra-national law enforcement agencies or government authorities (both Italian and belonging to the place of use of the Service and installation of the SEVIO Router);
      2. in any case in which SEVIO reasonably believes that the suspension of the Service is necessary to protect its network or to protect all other Users;
      3. if the Service is used in breach of this contract, or in any case in an unlawful and/or illegitimate manner according to the regulations of the countries involved in the use of the Service.
      4. in case of non-payment of the Sevio System by the User.
    • In all such cases, SEVIO will send the User a notice of suspension of the Service for 5 days to the email address provided by the User; once this period has elapsed, if the cause for suspension remains, SEVIO shall be entitled to interrupt the Service definitively without the need for any further communication.
  • Effects and damage caused by the interruption or suspension of the Service.
    • Although the SEVIO System is designed to maximise reliability and dependability, the User is aware that interruptions or suspensions of the Service for the causes described in Articles 4 and 5 above are possible; in such cases, the User must prevent the safety of persons or property from being affected.
    • SEVIO disclaims all liability for injury to persons or damage to property caused by the interruption or suspension of the Service.
    • The User acknowledges and accepts that under no circumstances shall SEVIO be liable for any increase in costs or expenses, loss of profit, sales contracts, expected revenues or savings, or damage of any kind, whether indirect or consequential, deriving from this agreement.
