The authors, producers, managers, creators, webmasters
and associates of Mezzofanti.org (hereby collectively labeled as “Mezzofanti.org”)
maintain http://www.mezzofanti.org
and other aliases (hereby labeled as “this site”) as a free and
non-profit service for personal and non-commercial reference use only.
By accessing and using the services and features (including, but not
limited to, online machine translations, language articles, language
games and any other supplemental programs) of this site, you agree to be
bound to (without modification) the terms and conditions listed in this
document; and the terms and conditions of each individual third-party
service accessed from this site.
Terms and Conditions
1)
Most information, articles and services not otherwise listed
(other third-party services are subject to their own respective terms
and conditions) which are
provided by this site, are intellectual property of Mezzofanti.org
(including, but not limited to, its producers and authors) – and are
not to be commercially reproduced, distributed, copied, licensed or sold
in any manner (including all digital means) without the expressed written
consent of Mezzofanti.org. Such permission can be granted by contacting
the webmaster (webmaster@mezzofanti.org).
2)
Mezzofanti.org makes every effort to ensure the authenticity and
accuracy of the information provided on this site. However, as there are
numerous differences and discrepancies among even the highest sources -
Mezzofanti.org is not responsible for inaccurate content, outdated
material or incorrect facts (and the results of such errors) appearing
on this site.
3)
Due to the extreme complexity of human languages, colloquialism
associated with native speech and dialectal differences in a language,
it is nearly impossible to produce a machine translator that would
always generate ideal translations. The third-party machine translators
provided on this site are only intended to generate rough translations
of the text or website entered by the user. For commercial and critical
translations, Mezzofanti.org highly suggests consulting a
professional/native speaker of the language. Mezzofanti.org cannot be
held accountable for inaccurate translations originating from this site,
or the result of such translations. Mezzofanti.org does not provide a
unique translation service, only a portal to already existing
third-party online machine translators. Thus, use of translators
featured on this site is subject to the specific terms and conditions of
the specific third-party service used.
4)
Mezzofanti.org does not and cannot review the content the user
inputs for translation. Thus, the user is (hereby labeled “you”) completely responsible for the text entered. By using any of the
featured online machine translators you agree that the content you enter
(including, but not limited to, text and hypertext) [i] does not
contravene or infringe upon any third-party copyright, trademark or any
other existing proprietary rights (without proper consent from the owner
of the proprietary rights); [ii] does not violate (directly or
indirectly) any existing law, statute, ordinance or regulation
(including, but not limited to, false advertising, discrimination, and
unlawful business tactics); [iii] is not defamatory, insulting,
libelous, derogatory or offensive; [iv] is not vulgar, obscene,
lewd or pornographic; [v] does not contain viruses or any other
malicious code. Again, the user assumes full responsibility for the
content entered.
5)
ALL CONTENT ON THIS SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT) AND IS HEREBY DISCLAIMED. IN NO
EVENT SHALL MEZZOFANTI.ORG BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ECONOMIC, INDIRECT, SPECIAL AND DATA
LOSS) ARISING FROM THE USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THIS SITE AND/OR ITS
RESULTS (certain jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of implied
warranties, in which case the above limitation/s may not apply).
6)
As a condition of your use, you agree to fully hold innocent and
indemnify Mezzofanti.org from your use (including, but not limited to,
use of translations and language articles) of the services of this site.
You agree that you are responsible for whatever manner in which you
choose to use the content of this site – and therefore you agree to
hold Mezzofanti.org blameless and innocent for any unlawful activity
(including, but not limited to, copyright infringement) resulting from
your use (in any way) of the content of this site (whether static or
dynamic).
7)
Mezzofani.org is not required to provide any assistance
(including, but not limited to, technical and customer support) for the
services provided. However, as a courtesy to our guests, Mezzofanti.org
does provide free limited assistance for most common problems and
questions regarding use of the services and features of this site
(technical support e-mail: tech@mezzofanti.org).
Such assistance is provided freely by Mezzofanti.org,
however it may be terminated and/or denied at any time for any reason.
8)
Although Mezzofanti.org does try to enforce strict restrictions
and review for third-party (external) links placed on this site -
Mezzofanti.org makes no representations as to the appropriateness or
suitability of the content of the sites linked to or mentioned on this
site. Mezzofanti.org encourages use of discretion while browsing the
Internet from this site, as external content can change over time. As
with the entire Internet, you assume full responsibility for where you
go from this site. Therefore, you agree to hold Mezzofanti.org harmless
for the content, accuracy, legality (including, but not limited to,
copyright compliance) and decency of the sites (and all other related
material therein) linked to, advertised or otherwise mentioned from
and/or in this site.
9)
Mezzofanti.org reserves the full right (at its sole discretion)
to withhold, decline, limit, terminate, discontinue or otherwise
restrict use of services – at any time, for any reason and without any
prior notification to users.
10)
Mezzofanti.org reserves the full right to modify and amend these
terms and conditions – at any time, for any reason and without any
prior notification to users.
Privacy Policy
All information you
provide to Mezzofanti.org is kept strictly confidential, and is never
sold or disclosed to any external party – for any reason (except when ordered to do so to comply with the law or a legal process,
including subpoenas and other court orders). Mezzofanti.org will never
collect any personal information, except when specifically and knowingly
provided by the user. However, impersonal raw statistics (including, but not limited to number of hits, country of origin, browser type, and referencing site) may be collected for the assessment of the needs and requirements of our visitors. Mezzofanti.org values the comments and feedback
from our users, as it helps us to create a better web environment, and
