Terms of Service

Last updated: 20 August 2026

These Terms govern access to and use of the website www.castaldosolutions.it and of the free content and tools you find on it. By browsing the website you accept them. If you do not agree with them, please do not use it.

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Castaldo Solutions S.R.L., registered office at Piazza IV Novembre 4, 20124 Milan (MI), Italy. VAT and Tax Code 13859590963, registered with the Milan Monza Brianza Lodi Companies Register, REA MI 2748845, share capital € 10,000.00 fully paid up. Email: gaetano@castaldosolutions.it.

2. What these Terms cover

These Terms concern the website and what we offer free of charge: informational content, articles, calculators, assessments and downloadable materials. They do not govern paid consulting services.

Professional services (CompanyTech BattlePlan, CRM and AI projects, Fractional CTO, training, cybersecurity assessments) are governed exclusively by the contract or proposal signed with the client. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and that contract, the contract prevails.

Information published on the website, including any indication of price, duration or outcome of our services, is illustrative and does not constitute an offer to the public under Art. 1336 of the Italian Civil Code. Every engagement arises from a written proposal and its acceptance.

3. Permitted use of the website

You may browse the website, read and share the content citing the source, and use the free tools for your own professional assessments. We ask you not to:

  • attempt to access non-public areas, data or systems, or circumvent security measures
  • introduce malicious code, overload the infrastructure or interfere with the normal operation of the website
  • perform bulk automated extraction of content (scraping) in order to reproduce or resell it, or to train commercial artificial intelligence models without our written authorisation
  • use the contact forms for unsolicited advertising or to submit third-party data without their consent
  • present yourself as Castaldo Solutions or as our partner without an agreement in place

In the event of use contrary to these Terms we may restrict or block access to the website, without prejudice to our right to seek compensation for damages.

4. Calculators, assessments and free materials

The website provides free tools such as the AI ROI calculator, the AI Team Builder, the AI readiness, CRM, NIS2 and AI-for-schools assessments, and the related downloadable reports.

These are indicative tools, not advice. Results derive solely from the data you enter and from simplified, generic calculation models: they do not take your specific situation into account and do not replace professional, technical, legal, tax or compliance assessment.

In particular, the cybersecurity, NIS2 and regulatory assessments are self-orientation tools: they are not an audit, they do not certify your organisation's compliance and they cannot be produced as evidence of compliance to authorities, clients or insurers.

The decisions you make on the basis of these tools remain yours. We are not liable for the economic, technical or organisational outcomes of using them. We reserve the right to modify or withdraw them at any time, without notice.

5. Intellectual property

Texts, images, graphics, logo, videos, code, layout and the structure of the website belong to Castaldo Solutions S.R.L. or to their respective owners and are protected by copyright and trademark law.

The name CompanyTech BattlePlan, its method, its materials and supporting documentation are ours: they may not be reproduced, adapted, taught or used to deliver services to third parties without our written authorisation.

Quoting short extracts for information, commentary or study purposes is permitted, provided the source is credited with a link to the original page. Any other use (full reproduction, translation, republication, commercial use) requires our written consent.

Third-party trademarks mentioned on the website (for example Salesforce, HubSpot, Odoo, Microsoft, Il Sole 24 Ore, TOGAF) belong to their respective owners and are referenced only to identify technologies and partnerships. The certifications listed are held by our professionals and do not imply that those owners sponsor this website.

Projects we publish as open source are governed by the licence stated in the relevant repository, which prevails over this section.

6. Partner and Referral Program

The Partner Program page and the referral form allow you to apply as a partner or to introduce an opportunity to us. They are descriptions of the programme, not a contract.

Submitting an application creates no right to be admitted: we assess each request and may decline it without any obligation to give reasons.

The relationship with anyone joining the programme is governed by a single document, the Commercial Referral Agreement, version 2.0 dated 20 August 2026, which replaces the previous Affiliation Contract (version 1.0). You can read it before applying: download the Commercial Referral Agreement (PDF, Italian). Signing takes place during the approval call: until then there is no partnership in place.

The Agreement characterises the relationship as occasional business referral. It is not an agency contract, a brokerage arrangement, a commercial affiliation or franchise, nor an employment relationship. The partner has no territory, no exclusivity, no minimum targets and no obligation to promote, and holds no power of representation: they may not negotiate, quote prices, timelines or promise results, nor collect any sum on our behalf.

Any fees or commissions on referrals are due only if provided for in the Agreement signed between the parties, and on the conditions set out therein. In summary, and without this summary replacing the text of the Agreement: the commission is 10% of amounts actually collected on the first project of each referred client; a referral is attributed only by our written registration confirmation, the first confirmed one prevails and it is valid for twelve months; below a minimum project value no commission accrues; payment is made within thirty days from the end of the month of collection, upon receipt of a valid invoice or receipt. In the absence of a written agreement, no fee is due.

Anyone promoting our services does so fairly. The following are not allowed: unsolicited communications in breach of applicable law, untrue statements about prices, timelines, results or credentials, bidding on keywords matching our brand or domain, registering confusingly similar domains and profiles, communications that appear to come from us, and claiming certifications or partnership levels that belong to us or to our professionals.

The non-monetary benefits of the programme, in particular access to the Solutions Hub community and free strategic review sessions, are ancillary, free of charge and revocable: they are not consideration, they carry no service levels, and their modification or discontinuation is not a breach and gives no right to compensation or reduction.

If you refer a contact to us, you must be entitled to disclose their data to us, must have informed them that we will receive it in accordance with our Privacy Policy, and must have obtained consent where required. Contacts may not come from purchased lists or automated data extraction. The Agreement places on the partner an indemnity for the consequences of a referral made in breach of these rules.

In the event of any conflict the following order prevails: the signed Agreement, these Terms, the descriptions published on the programme page and on our channels.

7. Community and social channels

Our professional community is hosted on third-party platforms (Discord) and our social channels on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and GitHub. Access to and use of those spaces are also subject to the terms of the hosting platform.

Within the community we ask for mutual respect, relevant contributions and confidentiality regarding business information shared by other members. Offensive, discriminatory or unlawful content, spam and unagreed promotion are not allowed. We may remove content and suspend access for members who do not follow these rules.

Access granted to Partner Program partners is personal, non-transferable and revocable, and ends with the partnership agreement. The member list is not a contact list: it may not be extracted or used for commercial, marketing or recruitment purposes. What other members share within the community stays confidential and is not republished elsewhere without their consent.

Contributions posted by members remain those of their respective authors, who are responsible for them. By posting, you grant us a non-exclusive right to keep them visible within the community.

8. Third-party links and services

The website contains links to external sites and integrates third-party services (appointment booking, video, maps, analytics). We do not control those sites and services and are not liable for their content, their availability or their data practices. To understand which services are activated and when, see the Cookie Policy.

9. Website availability

We work to keep the website running and up to date, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available or free of errors. We may suspend, modify or discontinue it, in whole or in part, for maintenance or for technical and organisational reasons, without this entailing any obligation to compensate.

10. Limitation of liability

The content of the website is provided for information purposes and is current as at the date of publication. Although we prepare it carefully, we do not warrant that it is complete, accurate or up to date at all times.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damages, loss of profit, loss of data or loss of business opportunities arising from the use of the website, of the free content, or from the inability to access them.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability in cases where this is not permitted by law, in particular for wilful misconduct or gross negligence and for personal injury.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect regulatory, technical or organisational changes. The applicable version is the one published on this page, with the last-updated date shown at the top. Continuing to use the website after publication constitutes acceptance of the new version.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Italian law.

For disputes with parties acting in the course of their business or profession, the Court of Milan has exclusive jurisdiction.

If you use the website as a consumer, the jurisdiction of the court of your place of residence or elected domicile remains unaffected, as do the mandatory protections provided by the Italian Consumer Code.
