Mail Service
- Subject Matter of the Service
- The subject matter of the Service is the provision by Vianova to the Customer of the Vianova Mail service (hereinafter the “Mail Service”), namely logical storage space associated with an email address in which received or sent email messages are stored and access to which is protected by a username and password.
- The Customer accepts that, by its very nature, the Mail Service does not guarantee the reliability and certainty of receipt provided by dedicated PEC services. In particular, since it is a service provided over the Internet, there is no mechanism capable of providing any general guarantee regarding quality of service.
- Throughout the term of the Service, the Customer shall be able to create one or more email accounts.
- The Mail Service includes webmail for sending, viewing and/or receiving emails on a “best effort” basis (i.e. “as best as possible”).
- Each email account is associated with an email address or one or more email aliases in the format identifier@domain-name.tld, in accordance with internationally recognized rules for defining email addresses and subject to the limitations of the Service. The domain name may be selected by the Customer from domains it owns or can demonstrate that it manages; where such domains are registered with third-party providers, the Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the provider configures and maintains over time the features necessary for proper operation of the Service.
- The technical and economic characteristics and the operating procedures for provision and use of the Mail Service by the Customer are described in the relevant section of the website www.vianova.it/servizi/posta-elettronica-professionale-mail/.
- These Terms and Conditions govern the methods and terms under which Vianova provides the Customer with the Mail Service, in cooperation with Qboxmail Srl (hereinafter “Qboxmail”), a Vianova Group company, together with the documentation published on this page.
- In the event of any conflict between the documentation prepared by Qboxmail and these Terms and Conditions, the latter shall prevail.
- Access to the Service and Usage Policy
- Upon activation of the Mail Service, Vianova provides the Customer with a pair of credentials for accessing its email accounts, consisting of a username and password, assigned to ensure the security and confidentiality of access, which the Customer shall change upon first use.
- For each mailbox, the Customer may activate two-factor authentication via OTP (One-Time Password), limited to web access.
- The Customer is solely responsible for safeguarding the credentials received; Vianova shall therefore be held harmless from any liability arising from the loss, theft or disclosure of such credentials to third parties.
- For email accounts associated with domains used exclusively by the Customer, an email account management system (hereinafter the “Control Panel”) shall be available for the contractual term of the Mail Service, allowing the Customer to independently manage the Mail Service under its direct and sole responsibility.
- Emails may be sent via webmail or an authenticated SMTP server only if the sender’s domain (the email “From” field) is the same as the username used for authentication or another email alias or domain belonging to the same Customer.
- If the Customer uses the Mail Service in a manner that may impair its proper operation, including potentially for other customers, and/or gives rise to complaints from third parties, Vianova reserves the right to suspend or restrict use of the Mail Service at any time, without any compensation being payable to the Customer.
- Any use of the Mail Service that Vianova considers, at its sole discretion, to be improper or unlawful shall result in the immediate blocking of the Customer’s account and the Service, even without prior notice. By way of example, the following are prohibited:
- sending bulk spam email from the Vianova network or sending spam through the networks of other service providers while advertising websites or using email addresses or any other resources provided by the Vianova network.
- subscribing email addresses to mailing lists without the express and verifiable consent of the owner of the email address. All mailing lists managed by Vianova Customers shall include a subscription confirmation mechanism (“Double Opt-in” or “Confirmed Opt-in”), and the confirmation message shall be retained for as long as the mailing list remains active.
- advertising, transmitting or otherwise making available any software, program, product or service that violates this policy or the policy of other providers.
- transmitting, distributing, publishing or soliciting participation in gambling-related initiatives or prize competitions requiring authorization from the ADM.
- Email Account Migration
- The Mail Service provides data import and migration features through the Control Panel.
- Email accounts and aliases are imported from a CSV file in the format defined by Vianova and prepared by the Customer. Importing is possible when at least one domain is associated with the Customer.
- Migration may only be used if the email accounts, still active on the source mail server, can be accessed using a protocol compatible with the Mail Service (destination server). The Customer shall be responsible for verifying the outcome of the migration and, where necessary, manually transferring or independently backing up any email messages that were not migrated.
- Vianova accepts no liability for the outcome of the migration, which may vary depending on the settings and limitations of the source server.
- Antispam and Antivirus
- The Mail Service includes antispam and antivirus systems active on both incoming and outgoing emails in order to identify potentially dangerous messages containing attachments or other code whose execution could damage the user’s systems or result in the distribution of unwanted emails or information.
- The Customer acknowledges that the algorithms used may fail to identify dangerous and/or unwanted emails, or may identify legitimate emails as dangerous and/or unwanted. The Customer shall therefore be responsible for adopting additional appropriate tools to protect against viruses and other cybersecurity threats.
- The reference samples and algorithms used for antispam and antivirus systems are defined by Vianova and may be modified by Vianova in order to improve the Service and increase its security.
- Using the tools made available by the Mail Service, the Customer may specify lists of email addresses as belonging to whitelists and blacklists. Messages received from email addresses included in the latter list shall not be processed by the antispam system, but only through DNSBL, SMTP rules and antivirus systems. Whitelists and blacklists operate by matching headers contained in received messages, in particular by analyzing the “Return-Path” and “To” headers.
- The email folder named Spam contains emails identified by the Antispam system as suspicious. Emails in Spam may be read, deleted or moved to other folders of the email account under the Customer’s direct and sole responsibility, with the Customer acknowledging that doing so removes protection against viruses or potentially dangerous content.
- Changes to the Terms of Service Provision
- If Vianova amends these Terms and Conditions, such amendments shall be communicated to the Customer in writing and shall take effect 30 (thirty) days after the date of notification.
- Within the same period, the Customer may exercise the right to withdraw from the Service by sending written notice by certified email (PEC) to info@pec.vianova.it.
- If the Customer does not exercise the right of withdrawal within the time limits and according to the procedures indicated above, the changes shall be deemed definitively known and accepted by the Customer and shall take effect upon expiration of the aforementioned 30 (thirty)-day period.

- The technical support service is intended exclusively to resolve problems that prevent access to the Mail Service.
- Data Storage and Backup
- The Customer acknowledges and accepts that the Mail Service includes a data backup intended exclusively for Vianova’s internal use. Therefore, if the Customer requests data restoration, Vianova shall verify whether the data are available and, where possible, carry out the restoration and inform the Customer of the applicable fee for the activity.
- Vianova accepts no liability in the event of total or partial loss or damage to data and/or information and/or content that it is unable to restore.

- A Customer who receives a notification that an individual email mailbox is approaching its maximum storage quota shall take the necessary action to free up space or increase the size of the email account.

- Donor Operator (Donor): the Operator to which the number subject to the portability request has been assigned by the competent administrative authorities;
- Donating Operator (Donating): the Operator that transfers the number. In the case of the first portability request, the Donor and Donating Operators are the same;

- In addition to the definitions set out in the Vianova General Terms and Conditions of Supply, the following definitions shall apply:
- Subject Matter of MNP
- These MNP General Terms and Conditions of Supply govern the relationship between Vianova and the Customer with regard to the MNP Service.
- This Service allows the Customer to use Vianova Mobile services without changing the telephone number assigned by another mobile Operator.
- For this purpose, the Customer unequivocally expresses its intention to terminate the existing contractual relationship with the Donating Operator in respect of the telephone number to be ported and to establish a contractual relationship with Vianova, resulting in activation of the specified number on Vianova’s mobile network.
- Vianova shall provide the MNP Service also through the cooperation and services of third parties.
- MNP Activation
- The Customer may submit a request to activate MNP, attaching a copy of its valid identity document or that of its legal representative.
- The number portability request does not release the Customer from obligations arising from its previous agreement with the Donating Operator.
- From the MNP Activation Date, the Customer shall have the ported number available on the Vianova SIM Card and may use Vianova Mobile.
- MNP shall take place after entering into a Subscription agreement or activation of a Prepaid SIM Card.
- Specific Obligations of Vianova (Recipient)
- Vianova specifically undertakes to:
- send the Donating Operator the processing order relating to the MNP request and, upon the Donating Operator’s documented request following disputes concerning the MNP, provide a copy of the relevant documentation;
- retain the original MNP request received from the Customer together with the related documentation;
- not forward the MNP request to the Donating Operator if it identifies a circumstance preventing activation of the Customer pursuant to the Vianova Mobile General Terms and Conditions of Supply.
- According to the Number Portability agreements in force between mobile Operators, MNP shall be activated within 2 (two) business days of submission of the request to the Donating Operator.
- The Customer acknowledges that temporary interruptions or suspensions of service relating to the number subject to the request may occur during the MNP activation process.
- Vianova specifically undertakes to:
- Suspension, Rejection, Ineffectiveness and Invalidity of the Request
- The request to activate MNP may be subject to suspension, rejection or cancellation. The request may be suspended in the event of:
- documented technical disruptions;
- justified service requirements.
- The request may be rejected in the following cases:
- the tax code/VAT number does not correspond to the number to be ported, in the case of a subscription service used with the Donating Operator;
- the SIM Card serial number does not correspond to the number to be ported, in the case of a prepaid service used with the Donating Operator;
- the number to be ported does not belong to the Donating Operator or is incorrect;
- the data required to transmit the request are incomplete or inaccurate;
- complete deactivation of the service associated with an MSISDN number by order of the Judicial Authority;
- absence of a request for the identifier certifying that the Recipient has obtained the report filed with the Judicial Authority in the event of a lost or stolen SIM Card;

- The portability request shall be canceled in the following cases:
- a previous portability request for the same number submitted by the same Operator;
- a previous portability request for the same number submitted by another Operator other than the originating Operator. Rejection or suspension shall not prevent a new MNP activation order from being submitted.
- The request to activate MNP may be subject to suspension, rejection or cancellation. The request may be suspended in the event of:
- Liability
- Vianova shall in no way be liable for failure to activate and/or delayed activation of MNP resulting from causes not attributable to Vianova or circumstances beyond its control, including circumstances attributable to the conduct of third parties (for example the Donor or Donating Operator), where Vianova is unable to fulfill the obligations undertaken toward the Customer.
- Likewise, Vianova shall in no way be liable for suspension or interruption, including permanent interruption, of MNP activation attributable to unforeseeable events, force majeure or other circumstances provided for by law.
- In the circumstances described above, Vianova shall not be liable for any related loss, damage or injury, whether direct or indirect, foreseeable or unforeseeable.
- Remaining Credit Transfer and Payment Default
- Upon activation of MNP, the Customer may instruct Vianova to request the Donating Operator to transfer the Remaining Credit available on the previous Prepaid SIM Card; such request is irrevocable.
- Transfer of the Remaining Credit may only be requested at the same time as Mobile Number Portability and is, in any event, subject to successful completion of MNP.
- The amount transferred shall correspond to the amount communicated by the Donating Operator to Vianova, net of free Traffic, promotions, options or automatic top-up mechanisms and any service charges contractually applied by the Donating Operator.
- The credit shall not be transferred where the amount is zero or insufficient, meaning lower than any service charges required by the Donating Operator.
- The credit communicated by the previous Operator relating to all SIM Cards ported to Vianova shall contribute to the Customer’s Available Credit.
- As an alternative to requesting the transfer of Remaining Credit, the Customer may contact the previous Operator and request direct reimbursement of such amount in accordance with the applicable contractual terms.
- Any outstanding-payment status or credit claims arising from the relationship between the Customer and the Donating Operator relate exclusively to the previous contractual relationship.
- Suspension or Interruption of the Service
- The Customer accepts the possible suspension or limitation of the Vianova Mobile service for the period strictly necessary for Vianova and the Donating Operator to carry out all technical operations required to commence and complete MNP activation.
- Processing of Personal Data
- Pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 13 of the Privacy Code and Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR, Vianova shall process the personal data provided by the Customer exclusively for purposes strictly connected with the Mobile Number Portability request; such processing is necessary for the performance of the Agreement to which the data subject is a party (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR).
- Vianova may make this form available to the originating Operator pursuant to Article 11, paragraph 5, of Resolution 147/11/CIR.
- With the exception of paragraph 16.2, all other elements of the privacy notice are governed by Article 16 of the General Terms and Conditions for the provision of Vianova services.

- Vianova provides its Customers with a tariff transparency service allowing them, at any time, to call the toll-free number 456 and access tariff transparency databases showing the association between a telephone number and the Operator currently providing the service at the time of the inquiry.
- Final Provisions
- For all matters not expressly governed by these MNP General Terms and Conditions, the General Terms and Conditions for the provision of the Vianova Mobile service shall remain in force and apply.
“Agile Professional” Option
- Scope
- These Terms and Conditions govern the provision by Vianova to the Customer of the “Agile Professional” Option (the “Option”), in consideration of the agreed fee, in accordance with the procedures specified in the Vianova Agile Plan and Technical Data Sheet, and supplement the General Terms and Conditions already signed for activation of Vianova services.
- The Option is provided through Vianova infrastructure located in Vianova Data Centers in Italy.
- Features of the “Agile Professional” Option
- The Option is intended for small and medium-sized businesses with an active Vianova Mobile service using the Agile plan.
- Through a Cloud-based PBX platform, the Option allows calls directed to the Customer’s geographic number to be managed and may be used exclusively through the Vianova Phone application (“App”) installed on the Customer’s smartphone.
- Through the App, it shall be possible to answer calls to the Customer’s geographic number using a smartphone and to use the same number to make outgoing calls. For this purpose, the Customer shall associate the App with a geographic number ported to Vianova or assigned according to the telephone district of its registered office or another location.
- The Customer may request activation of the Option through its Customer Area, subject to a limit of one SIM Card per company name and with the Service associated with only one account at a time.
- The App does not provide the same functions and performance as a mobile or fixed telephone line and, accordingly, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that:
- access through the App to numbers associated with emergency services allows the call to be correctly located only if the call is made from the same telephone district to which the geographic number activated with the Option belongs. Otherwise, the Customer shall make such calls using traditional fixed-line or mobile network services;
- the quality of the voice service depends on the coverage of the Wi-Fi or mobile network used from time to time and the Service is provided on a best-effort basis.
- The Customer undertakes to appropriately inform End Users of these limitations and releases Vianova from any obligation or liability in this regard.
- Telephone Numbers
- The Customer may migrate an existing geographic number already available to it to VoIP technology only where technically possible, or may request activation of a new number belonging to the telephone district of its registered office or another location.
- GNR numbers and numbers with additional digits cannot be associated with the Service.
- If the Customer no longer has an active Agile plan associated with the geographic number, the Option shall no longer operate and the Customer shall associate another SIM Card with an active Agile plan. Alternatively, the Customer shall port the geographic number to another Operator within 30 days of deactivation of the Agile plan.
- The Customer may suspend the Option starting from the month following the relevant request; in this case, the Customer shall retain the geographic number, which shall not be reachable, and shall not pay the cost of the Option only if the associated Agile plan remains active.
- Use of the Option
- The Customer is prohibited from making improper use of the Option and, in the event of improper or fraudulent use, including by third parties, Vianova reserves the right to immediately suspend and/or terminate the Option, including without prior notice, without prejudice to its right to claim compensation for damages.
- The Option may be used exclusively through the Customer account with which it has been associated and solely for purposes relating to the Customer’s business activities.
- The Customer also undertakes to:
- ensure that the Option is used exclusively within its own business organization and assume all resulting obligations and liabilities for Traffic generated and transmitted through the platform via its connection;
- not tamper with or perform any work, directly or indirectly, on the App (software) owned by Vianova and licensed for use by the Customer;
- correctly use the assigned telephone numbers and, in particular, keep unchanged the “native” CLI (Calling Line Identifier) assigned to the location in order to ensure the proper provision of emergency services and mandatory services required by the Judicial Authority. If the App is used outside the district to which the associated geographic number belongs, the Customer shall use a traditional fixed or mobile telephone line for emergency calls.
- not disclose, directly or indirectly, including through its personnel, passwords or access credentials for the Service;
- not copy, in whole or in part, the software programs included in the Option, whether in printed or computer-readable form;
- not provide through the Option content and/or any other material contrary to mandatory laws, public order or public morality, or otherwise capable of infringing any third-party right, and to indemnify and hold Vianova harmless from any loss or damage incurred by Vianova as a result of actions and/or claims brought by third parties due to content and/or other material provided by the Customer.
- The Customer undertakes to indemnify and hold Vianova harmless from any adverse consequence resulting from failure to comply with the obligations described in this Article.
- Vianova reserves the right to suspend the Option in the event of a breach of the obligations indicated above.
- Limitations of Liability
- Vianova shall not be liable for damages suffered by the Customer or third parties as a result of use of the Option.
