Photos + Content

Smitten Italy reserves the right to remove, replace, or move any images or content without prior announcement (site redesigns usually occur occasionally). All photos that aren’t taken by Smitten Italy are credited and linked to their outside sources and are believed to be in public domain and readily available on the Internet (published according to the U.S. Copyright Fair Use Act, title 17, U.S. Code). Any photos not credited to an outside source have been taken by Smitten Italy and are rights protected. Failure to link back and credit our site as their source constitutes a copyright violation.

Feel free to use an image from Smitten Italy as long as it is credited and accompanied by a link back to this site. (Let us know so we can come say hi!) Using our photos in bulk, even with a credit, is prohibited (be it for the purposes of a photo gallery, landing page, roundup, series of posts, or any other feature that duplicates a large portion of content). Please contact us for express permission if you’d like to use more than a few photos. Duplicating any of this site’s text (even if it’s credited to Smitten Italy.) is strictly prohibited.

We are not liable or responsible for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability or availability of, any such parties. Outside sites linked on our Site, all of which have separate privacy and data collection practices, are only for your convenience and therefore you access them at your own risk. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of any dealings with any third party website or merchant or operator of such a third party website.
