Trevi is bound only by an obligation of means with respect to the quality of the content of the Site; in this respect, it bears no obligation of result of any kind whatsoever.

More specifically, Trevi provides you on the Site with real estate listings that are as reliable as possible and updated regularly. Nevertheless, Trevi cannot be held responsible if errors are found in the content of the ad or if the property is no longer available at the time the ad is consulted. The advertisement does not constitute an offer in the legal sense of the term. The information will always be deemed “provisional”, so that it must always be confirmed by Trevi. The same principle applies to prices indicated on the Site or in the “My Trevi” private area.
The Site provides tools for simulating certain financial issues (calculating borrowing capacity, calculating property acquisition costs, calculating registration fees, applying for financing, etc.). All figures and examples are provided for information purposes only. Trevi cannot be held responsible for the inaccuracy of such data.
Acquisition costs are also provided for information only and Trevi cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracy in these costs. Some of the advertisements contain site plans to help you locate the exact property you are looking for. These maps are the exclusive property of the companies Trevi has contracted to provide mapping services. They may not be reproduced for any purpose other than making copies for purely private use. In addition, these maps may contain errors or inaccuracies for which Trevi or its contractors shall not be held liable.

4.2 Security/access

Trevi makes reasonable and diligent efforts to maintain the security and operational integrity of the Site by adopting security measures appropriate to the nature of the data and the risks presented by its activity.

In general, Trevi cannot be held responsible, except in the case of fraud or gross negligence, for damages (direct or indirect) resulting from incidents, temporary or permanent, which would affect your data or your computer equipment and which would have been caused by your access to the Site.
Trevi cannot be held responsible for fraudulent use of its Site and its services and declines all responsibility in the event of intrusion into its computer systems or theft of data, it being understood that Trevi undertakes to take reasonable measures to prevent such illicit intrusions.

4.3 Updates

Except in the case where Trevi has been duly informed of the existence of illegal content within the meaning of current legislation and has not acted promptly to remove it, Trevi cannot be held responsible for the content or actions (or lack of actions) of users of the Site or services.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, if Trevi is held liable, for any reason or cause whatsoever, by any court or competent authority, to you or any third party, for any act whatsoever, our liability shall not exceed EUR 250. This limitation of liability shall not apply in the event of fraud or gross negligence on the part of Trevi and in all cases where this would be contrary to applicable law.
