2.     SUBJECT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2.1 By accessing, browsing and registering on the Platform, as well as by downloading and installing the Lookalike App, the User unreservedly agrees to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions. Users and Visitors are obliged to read the Terms and Conditions carefully and to save or print them for future reference.

2.2 The main service provided by Lookalike consists in making available to the Users the most important platforms related to the fashion world, whose contents are made accessible through an automated search function of the Products by images through the photos taken and uploaded by the User. Lookalike also provides Users with an easy way to exchange opinions on the Products and shopping, allowing them to share their purchasing decisions with their friends through the Tips function.

2.3 Lookalike links to third party websites, the Stores, where Users can purchase Products.  This means that Lookalike is not part of the sales contract, which will be stipulated exclusively between the Users and the Partners, and does not assume any responsibility deriving from the relationship established between them, being considered as a mere manager of the Platform.

2.5 The User declares himself aware that although Lookalike takes every care to ensure that the information displayed is presented by the Partners in accordance with the state of affairs, it cannot provide any assurance in this respect. In order to check the final price, description and availability of the Products, the User must check this information on the website of the Shop from which the offer comes.

 

3.  REGISTRATION

3.1 The Platform and its Services are not available to minors.

3.2 Some of the Platform's functions can be used by Visitors without the need to register and create an Account.

3.3 However, in order to access all the features of the Platform, it is necessary to register.

3.4 In order to register, the User undertakes to provide the data requested in the registration form, guaranteeing its truthfulness and completeness (name, email, telephone and password).

3.5 In the case of registration through his Facebook profile, the User must allow Lookalike to access the account information and must still provide his telephone number, if not present, in order to receive the five-digit verification code for the security check by double opt in.

3.6 Lookalike will require the User to perform an Account verification for security purposes. This will be done by verifying the User's telephone number.

3.7 Once registration is complete, any User may access their profile and complete and/or amend it as they see fit by entering other data such as gender, date of birth and profile picture. The User's profile will then contain the photos uploaded in order to access the search engine or the "Album" (i.e. all the "Lookalikes"), the "favourite" Products indicated by the User on the Third Party Stores and the details of the Tips. The images stored in the Album will be deleted from Lookalike every six months.

4.  SEARCH FOR PRODUCTS USING IMAGES AND SENDING TIPS

4.1 In order to search for a Product on Lookalike, the User must upload the photo taken or stored on their mobile device or PC to the Platform. The image search tool, based on advanced algorithms, will efficiently retrieve Products that are the same or similar to the one depicted in the uploaded image.

4.2 The search results of LookaliKe link to third party websites, the Shops, which are not owned or controlled by Lookalike. By clicking on links to third party websites and making a purchase, Lookalike may earn a commission. There may also be Sponsored Products which will be displayed before others and which will be notified to the User. The Products may also be offered on the Platform through the e-commerce "Lookalike Selection", which is owned by Lookalike S.r.l. but is configured as a different platform.

4.3 The uploaded images shall not be made accessible to other Users and shall not be shared with the Partners, who shall only be able to ascertain that the User comes from the Platform by means of an affiliate code, which informs the target website or Shop that the traffic comes from Lookalike.

4.4 The uploaded images must conform to certain requirements and the User must ensure that they comply with them. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in the interruption of access to Lookalike at any time in accordance with article 6 below.

4.5 The images must respect the following conditions

 

a)     they must relate only to a product (e.g. dress or fashion accessory) and no other subject. Any other type of image depicting content other than the desired product is prohibited (e.g. photographs on which the User or different people or animals or any other type of subject or reproduction are visible);

b)    must not contain illegal content (i.e. obscene, pornographic, abusive or in any way unlawful);

c)      must not infringe the rights of third parties, such as intellectual property rights or provisions for the processing of personal data and must not violate any applicable local, national or international law or regulation.

 

4.6 If the images do not contain the representation of a product, the Platform's search engine does not recognise them and will send a message to the User that the search cannot be carried out. The same will happen if the brand searched for is not yet present on the Platform.

4.7 The User guarantees that the images are sent to the Platform by adults. For minors, the submission must be screened and authorised by their parents or those exercising parental responsibility.

4.8 The sole purpose of sending Tips with links from WhatsApp to your contacts is to allow them to exchange information about Products by sending the link to the Product on the Shop. The recipient of the Tip will be able to respond to the request, after registering on the Platform, by means of "OK" or "KO" responses.

12.2 The submission of information or data, particularly images on the Platform implies the granting by the Users to Lookalike, free of charge, of a non-exclusive licence to use the content worldwide, which applies for the duration of any applicable rights (and their potential extensions).

14.  APPLICABLE LAW AND RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

14.1 These Terms and Conditions are governed by Italian law.

14.2 In case of disagreement between Lookalike and the User, we invite the Users to contact Lookalike first to find an amicable solution. In the event that the matter remains unresolved, or if the User is not satisfied with the result, the User may use alternative methods of dispute resolution, such as the mediation mechanisms offered to consumers. The consumer User residing in Europe should be aware that the European Commission has set up an online platform that provides an alternative dispute resolution tool. This tool can be used by the consumer User to resolve out of court any disputes relating to and/or arising out of contracts for the sale of goods and the provision of services concluded online. Consequently, the consumer User may use this platform to resolve any dispute arising from the contract concluded online. The platform is available at the following address: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

14.3 For the purposes of judicial resolution of the dispute, for Consumer Users, any matter relating to the application, execution and interpretation of these Terms and Conditions shall be referred to the court of the place where the Consumer User resides or has elected domicile, if located in the territory of the Italian State, without prejudice to the right of the Consumer User to refer the matter to a judge other than the "consumer court" pursuant to Article 66 bis of the Consumer Code with territorial jurisdiction according to one of the criteria set out in Articles 18, 19 and 20 of the Italian Civil Procedure Code.


15.  FINAL PROVISIONS AND SPECIFIC APPROVAL OF CLAUSES

15.1 Lookalike may, without prejudice to the applicable data protection laws, transfer and/or cede to third parties all the rights and obligations provided for in these Terms and Conditions, in particular in the case of transfer of a business sector, merger by incorporation of a new company, merger by incorporation, demerger or any change of control that affects Lookalike S.r.l., provided that this does not reduce the protection of the rights of the consumer. This transfer frees Lookalike from all obligations as operator of the Platform, in particular towards its Users and Visitors for the future. In the event that Lookalike transfers and/or assigns these rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions, the User is entitled to immediately withdraw from his contractual relationship and close his account.

15. 2 Pursuant to Articles 1341 and 1342 of the Italian Civil Code, Users and Visitors declare that they have read and understood the following provisions of these Terms and Conditions: 3 (Registration), 4 (Searching for products through images and sending Tips), 5 (Obligations of Users), 6 (Rights and obligations of Lookalike), 7 (Responsibility for content), 8 (Changes to the Terms and Conditions); 9 (Limitations of Liability); 11 (Withdrawal and Termination), 12 (Intellectual Property Rights), 11 (Withdrawal and Termination); 14 (Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution); 15 (Assignment).
