6.3 In particular, the images and colours of the Berlin Packaging Italy S.p.A. products may not correspond to the actual ones due to the effect of the Internet browser and the monitor used. In addition, some objects on the Site may appear slightly larger or smaller than their actual size because the images have been resized to fit the screen or due to the photographic techniques used. In the case of resized images, products or parts thereof may be depicted larger than their actual size in order to show details clearly, or smaller in order to show the entire item.

6.4 Although Berlin Packaging Italy S.p.A. has tried to do everything possible to ensure continuous access to its Site, the dynamic nature of the Internet and its content may not allow the Site to operate without suspensions, interruptions or discontinuity due to the need to update the web pages. In point, Berlin Packaging Italy S.p.A. declines any responsibility for any damages deriving from inaccessibility to the website due to suspensions for maintenance or other service interruptions due to technical intervention or updating requirements.

6.5 Berlin Packaging Italy S.p.A. also cannot guarantee that the Site will operate continuously, without interruptions and without errors or malfunctions due to the Internet connection.

However, the Company shall not be liable to you for any damages resulting from unauthorised access and alteration of data by third parties who breach the Site’s computer systems, without prejudice to its liability for fraud and gross negligence and unless otherwise provided for by law.

6.9 Finally, since any material made available on the Site will be downloaded by you or otherwise obtained through the use of services of your choice and at your exclusive risk, any responsibility for any damage to computer systems – in particular, but not limited to, those caused by computer viruses – damaged files or loss of data resulting from download operations shall fall solely and exclusively upon you and cannot be attributed to Berlin Packaging Italy S.p.A.
