Terms and conditions of service

1. Who we are and what these Terms cover

The Site and the Service are operated by AM Innovation S.r.l., registered office at Piazza Ospedale 3, 12030 Scarnafigi (CN), Italy, VAT number IT03844200042, email info@aminnovation.it, phone +39 351 650 9061. Additional company details are listed in the Legal notice on the Site.

These Terms apply to browsing the Site and to using the "Build your prototype" Service. They do not govern paid analysis, design, and software development projects: those are governed by the quote and contract that AM Innovation and the client sign for each project, which prevail over these Terms for everything they cover.

The processing of personal data is described in the Privacy policy and the Cookie policy, two separate documents published on the Site. These Terms do not replace or amend them.

2. Definitions

In these Terms, the following capitalized words have the meaning set out below.

• Site: the www.aminnovation.it website, in Italian and English.
• User: anyone who uses the Site or the Service.
• Service: the free "Build your prototype" service, which generates a clickable prototype of a web app based on the User's answers.
• Wizard: the guided 8-step procedure in which the User describes the application they have in mind.
• Brief: all the information entered in the Wizard, including the draft, the uploaded files, and the choices made on the suggestions.
• Prototype: the demonstration application automatically generated from the Brief and published online at a dedicated address.

3. Who may use the Service and acceptance

The Service is intended for businesses and professionals. Anyone who uses it represents that they are acting for their own business or professional activity, or for that of the company they represent, and that they have the authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

The User accepts these Terms, in the version published at that time, by ticking the dedicated box when requesting the access link to the Wizard. With the same box, the User specifically approves the clauses listed in article 16. Without this acceptance the link is not sent and the Service cannot be used.

If the User is nevertheless a consumer, meaning an individual acting for purposes outside their business or professional activity, all the rights granted by the Italian Consumer Code that cannot be waived by contract remain unaffected. Any provision of these Terms that would limit them does not apply to that User.

4. How the Service works

The Service is free and does not require an account or a password. To access the Wizard, the User enters their email address and receives a personal link. The link is valid for 15 minutes and can be used only once. After the first access, a key stored in the browser, valid for 30 days, connects the User to their draft.

While the User fills in the Wizard, the draft is saved automatically on AM Innovation's servers. The link and the access key are personal: the User keeps them safe and does not share them, because anyone who has them can view and change the draft.

Each email address can submit only one Brief, and therefore obtain only one Prototype. After submitting, the User receives a confirmation email. The Brief is then passed to an automated generation system and, when the Prototype is ready, the User receives an email with the link.

AM Innovation does not guarantee a delivery time: the Prototype is delivered as soon as it is ready. If generation fails, AM Innovation notifies the User by email and the team gets back in touch within one business day. In that case, AM Innovation is not required to repeat the generation or to provide a replacement Prototype.

AM Innovation may decline to start generation, or stop it, when the Brief violates these Terms.

Service emails are sent from an automated address (noreply@aminnovation.it). To write to AM Innovation, use info@aminnovation.it.

The agreement is concluded in these steps: the User requests the access link, fills in the Wizard and submits the Brief; on submission, the Brief is sent to AM Innovation. Until submission, the User can correct any information by going back to previous steps; after submission, the Brief can no longer be changed. AM Innovation keeps the submitted Brief, and the User can request a copy by writing to info@aminnovation.it. The Service is available in Italian and English; AM Innovation does not subscribe to any code of conduct. These Terms can be printed or saved as a PDF from the browser.

5. What the Prototype is and is not

The Prototype is a demonstration. It shows a first version of the main screens and flows of the application described in the Brief, to help the User evaluate the idea and clarify requirements. It is not the final product and does not replace software analysis, design, and development. It is not intended for operational use or for storing real data.

Requesting or receiving the Prototype does not commit either party to go any further. The User does not have to buy anything; AM Innovation does not have to submit a quote or develop the software. Any project arises only from a separate quote and contract.

The Prototype stays online for 14 days from the submission of the Brief, which is when generation starts. AM Innovation may extend its availability at its own discretion; the User is not entitled to an extension. Before expiration, AM Innovation may send email reminders, and the User can ask to stop receiving them by writing to info@aminnovation.it. Before expiration, AM Innovation may also contact the User to ask whether they are interested in moving on to development; the User is free not to follow up. On expiration, the link stops working and the published files of the Prototype are deleted, without further notice.

The Prototype is accessible to anyone who has the link, which is not password-protected. The User keeps the link safe, shares it only with the people they want to involve in the evaluation, and is responsible for the sharing they do.

Data that the User or others enter in the Prototype is not stored permanently and is reset periodically. It must not be used for actual work: it may disappear at any time.

In the Prototype, the User can leave feedback (questions, change requests, issues), including a screenshot, and send a summary to the team with "I'm done". The team uses it to prepare any next step together with the User.

6. Use of artificial intelligence

The Service uses artificial intelligence systems only in two places in the Wizard: the module suggestions, marked as suggested by AI, and the suggested links between records. To produce these suggestions, some information from the Brief (the industry, the description of the business, the names of the records and their fields) is processed by cloud and artificial intelligence service providers acting on behalf of AM Innovation.

The Prototype is not generated by artificial intelligence. It is built deterministically by AM Innovation's software, which applies defined rules to the choices made in the Brief. AM Innovation does not use the Brief to train or improve artificial intelligence models.

The AI suggestions may contain errors, omissions, or solutions that do not fit the User's business. They are suggestions: the User reviews, edits, or discards them, and decides alone what to keep. The number of AI suggestions in the Wizard is limited for each email address.

The Service does not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects concerning a User who is a natural person or that similarly significantly affect them (article 22 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679). The Service's automatic limits (one Brief per email address, number of AI suggestions, anti-abuse limits) only govern access to the free Service. Any commercial proposal is prepared by the AM Innovation team.

7. User obligations and prohibited uses

The User uses the Service in good faith and for its intended purpose: evaluating an application for their own business. The User provides true and current information about the contact person and an email address they control.

The Brief describes how an application works; it must not contain the application's data. The User does not enter personal data of third parties (for example names, contact details, or documents of customers and employees) in the Wizard, uploaded files, the Prototype, or feedback, nor health data or other special categories of personal data. If examples are needed, the User uses made-up data.

The User enters confidential information about their own business, such as internal procedures, price lists, or trade secrets, at their own risk: the Brief is processed by automated systems and the Prototype can be reached by anyone who has the link.

The files that can be uploaded are the logo (png, jpeg, svg, webp, or gif, up to 2 MB) and Word templates (.docx without macros, up to 2 MB). The User uploads only files for which they hold the necessary rights and that contain no malicious code.

In particular, it is prohibited to:

• enter or upload content that is unlawful, offensive, defamatory, or that infringes third-party rights, including trademarks and copyright;
• upload files containing viruses, macros, or other malicious code;
• circumvent the limits of the Service, for example by using different email addresses to obtain more Prototypes or more AI suggestions;
• attempt to access other people's drafts, Briefs, or Prototypes, or parts of the Site and systems not intended for the User;
• decompile, reverse engineer, or reproduce the software of the Site, the Service, or the Prototype, except as the law allows regardless, in particular articles 64-ter, 64-quater and 102-ter of Italian Law no. 633 of April 22, 1941;
• systematically extract data from the Wizard, the application programming interfaces (APIs), or the Prototypes, or use them with automated programs, bots, or scripts; for the public content of the Site, the robots.txt file applies;
• use the Service to develop a competing service or to overload AM Innovation's systems.

8. Intellectual property

The content of the Site (text, graphics, images, trademarks) and the software that runs the Service, including the Wizard, the generation system, the templates and components used to build the Prototype, and the code of the Prototype itself, belong to AM Innovation or its licensors. These Terms do not transfer any right in them to the User, except the right of use set out in this article.

The Brief and the materials uploaded by the User, such as the logo and Word templates, remain the User's. The User grants AM Innovation a free, non-exclusive license to use them, including through the providers referred to in article 6, for the sole purpose of generating and publishing the Prototype, contacting the User about the Prototype, and preparing a possible development proposal. The license lasts as long as necessary for these purposes.

The User may use the Prototype to evaluate it, alone or with the people they involve in the evaluation. This right of use is personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and lasts as long as the Prototype remains available. The Service does not include delivery of the source code, which takes place only if AM Innovation and the User agree to it in writing.

Feedback, comments, and suggestions that the User sends about the Prototype or the Service may be used by AM Innovation to improve the Service, without compensation; AM Innovation is not required to credit the author, without prejudice to the moral rights that the law grants in any case. This does not authorize AM Innovation to publish the User's Brief or data.

9. Availability, changes, and suspension of the Service

The Service is free and comes with no guaranteed service levels. AM Innovation makes efforts to keep it running, but does not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.

AM Innovation may change the Service, modify its features and limits, suspend it, or discontinue it at any time, including without notice. If it discontinues the Service, Prototypes already published may remain available until they expire or be withdrawn earlier; in the latter case, AM Innovation notifies the affected Users by email, where possible.

To protect the Service, AM Innovation applies anti-abuse limits, for example on the number of access links that can be requested per email address and per IP address, and on the frequency of requests. It may introduce others without notice.

AM Innovation may suspend or block access, refuse or stop the generation of a Prototype, and withdraw one already published when it has reason to believe that the User has violated these Terms or that their use puts the Service, other users, or third parties at risk.

10. Liability

The Service is free and is provided "as is" and "as available". AM Innovation does not guarantee that the Prototype or the AI suggestions are complete, accurate, or fit for a particular purpose.

The Prototype is a demonstration, not a finished product: AM Innovation gives no warranty on how it works, on its fitness for operational use, or on the retention of the data entered in it. Commitments and liability for the development of software are governed only by the contract that AM Innovation and the client sign for each project.

To the extent permitted by law, AM Innovation is not liable for damages arising from the use of, or the inability to use, the Site or the Service, including loss of data entered in the draft or the Prototype, lost profits, and indirect damages. In particular, it is not liable for decisions the User makes based on the Prototype or the AI suggestions, which remain the User's own.

These limitations do not apply in case of willful misconduct or gross negligence by AM Innovation, nor in other cases where the law does not allow liability to be excluded or limited, as provided by article 1229 of the Italian Civil Code. The rights that the law grants to consumers and that cannot be limited by contract also remain unaffected.

The User is responsible for the content they enter or upload and for their own violations of these Terms, and holds AM Innovation harmless from any resulting third-party claims.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. AM Innovation does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content or operation.

11. Reporting unlawful content

Points of contact. AM Innovation's single point of contact for Member State authorities, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services (article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) and for Users (article 12) is info@aminnovation.it. You can write in Italian or English. Messages are read and handled by people, not only by automated systems.

Notices. Anyone who believes that a Prototype or other content stored through the Service is unlawful can report it to info@aminnovation.it, stating: the reasons why they consider it unlawful; the exact link to the content and any other information useful to locate it; their name and email address; a statement confirming in good faith that the information provided is accurate and complete. AM Innovation acknowledges receipt without delay, reviews the notice in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner, and communicates its decision together with the available means of redress. Decisions are made by people on the team.

Statement of reasons. If AM Innovation removes or disables content, withdraws a Prototype, or suspends access to the Service because content is unlawful or violates these Terms, it explains the reasons to the User by email: the measure taken and its duration, the facts, whether it follows a notice, the rule or clause applied, and how to contest it. The User can contest it by replying to info@aminnovation.it; the right to apply to the courts remains unaffected.

12. Changes to these Terms

AM Innovation may change these Terms only for valid reasons: changes to the Service, its features or its limits; changes in the law or decisions of the authorities; security needs of the Service. The version in force is always the one published on the Site, with the last updated date at the top.

Changes take effect upon publication for anyone using the Service from that moment on. For Prototypes already requested, changes that worsen the User's position apply only after notice is sent to the email address used for the Service; changes required by law or necessary for the security of the Service are an exception. AM Innovation informs Users with an active draft or Prototype of significant changes by email.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Italian law.

For disputes with Users acting as a business or professional, the Court of Cuneo (Italy) has exclusive jurisdiction.

If the User is a consumer, the choice of Italian law does not deprive them of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where they habitually reside, in the cases provided for by article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008. Disputes with them are subject to the courts that the law reserves for them: in Italy, the court of their place of residence or domicile; if they reside in another EU Member State, they may bring proceedings before the courts of that State or the Italian courts, while AM Innovation may bring proceedings against them only before the courts of the State where they are domiciled (articles 17-19 of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012).

14. Language

These Terms are published in Italian and English. In case of any discrepancy between the two versions, the Italian version prevails, except that, for consumers, the interpretation most favorable to them under article 35 of the Italian Consumer Code applies.

15. Contact

For any question about these Terms or the Service, the User can write to info@aminnovation.it or call +39 351 650 9061. By mail: AM Innovation S.r.l., Piazza Ospedale 3, 12030 Scarnafigi (CN), Italy.

To stop receiving reminders about the Prototype, just send an email to info@aminnovation.it from the address used for the Service.

16. Specifically approved clauses

Pursuant to articles 1341 and 1342 of the Italian Civil Code, a User acting as a business or professional declares that they have read and specifically approve the clauses listed below, by ticking the dedicated box when requesting the access link to the Wizard.

For consumer Users, the same clauses remain subject to the Italian Consumer Code rules on unfair terms.

• article 4 (AM Innovation's right not to start or to stop generation, and not to repeat it if it fails);
• article 5 (limited availability of the Prototype, discretionary extension, deletion of files on expiration without further notice);
• article 9 (changes to, suspension, and discontinuation of the Service; suspension of access and withdrawal of the Prototype);
• article 10 (exclusions and limitations of liability; obligation to hold AM Innovation harmless);
• article 12 (unilateral changes to the Terms);
• article 13 (exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Cuneo).
