1. Scope and organiser

These Terms govern participation in on-field stays offered under Pianta.land Projects (e.g. “building and relaxing” in Orsara di Puglia), organised by Uma Innovation di Leonardo Del Priore, VAT 01610040196, tax code DLPLRD79T12D643O, Via XI Febbraio, 30 — 26010 Bagnolo Cremasco (CR) (the “Organiser”). Lodging for the Orsara event is the Princess’s Stable (Palazzo Varo), as stated on the event page.

2. Nature of participation (volunteering)

On-field activities (farm work, maintenance, building, shared tasks) are pure volunteering. They do not constitute, and must not be treated as:

• an employment relationship;
• paid ongoing coordinated collaboration;
• paid professional services for the Organiser, unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.

No wage, role allowance or employee package is due for the volunteering described in the event. Free lodging (€0 fee), if offered, is not payment for work; it is organisational hospitality linked to the initiative.

3. Registration and acceptance

Registration uses the form / wizard on projects.html (or the equivalent operation URL). Completing the form and accepting the checkboxes (including volunteering, limited insurance and personal devices) is full acceptance of these Terms and of the clauses shown at signup. Adults may take part; minors only if the event rules allow and as declared in the wizard.

4. Lodging and costs

Unless the event states otherwise:

• the lodging fee may be €0 (borne by the Organiser);
• travel, meals, local transfers and any other costs stay with the participant and must be declared where the form asks;
• arrival is allowed from the stated start day; by the end date everyone must leave the lodging, as on the event sheet.

5. Self-arranged travel

Travel is chosen by the participant (bus, train, plane, other). The Organiser may list carriers and links for information only; the transport contract is only between participant and carrier. The participant states carrier and ticket reference (journey number) at signup.

6. Insurance

Only lodging (Princess’s Stable / stated property) is covered by the hospitality insurance under those properties’ conditions. The Organiser’s insurance does not cover, by way of example: on-field work, travel, tools or machinery, sport or leisure, damage to third parties or to the participant’s belongings, or injuries during volunteering. Participants are invited to arrange their own adequate cover (accident / liability).

7. Devices and safety

Participants use personal devices and equipment (phones, computers, tools, PPE where needed) safely and under their own responsibility. The Organiser need not supply work equipment unless written notice for that event says otherwise. Participants follow on-site safety instructions and stop any activity they consider unsafe.

8. Conduct and liability

Participants act with care, respect for people and places, and hold the Organiser harmless from consequences of their own conduct or of third parties they invite, within the limits of law. The Organiser is not liable for force majeure or third-party service outages (carriers, networks). The initiative is not a package travel under Legislative Decree 62/2018; the Organiser acts as logistical and cultural organiser of the initiative.

9. Withdrawal and interruption

Personal withdrawal, including for later reasons, does not entitle the participant to refunds of travel or other costs they bear. The Organiser may end participation for serious breach of these Terms or safety risk, without indemnity beyond what mandatory law requires.

10. Privacy

Personal data collected for registration, lodging and communications are processed under the privacy notice and applicable law (including, where relevant, stay reporting duties).

10-bis. Photos, video and publication

Anyone taking part in the field stay / event is subject to photos and video during activities and to publication on the Organiser’s sites (Pianta.land / Uma Innovation) and initiative partners’ sites, according to the Adventure terms of use and the mandatory signup checkbox.

11. Law and venue

Italian law applies. For EU consumers, venue and protections follow the Consumer Code and EU law where applicable.
