1. Services, books, and courses
TechIT Europe offers the following through this website:
- Advisory and consulting services — cybersecurity, digital ethics, GDPR and NIS2 compliance, digital footprint audits, and related professional services, delivered remotely or in person by agreement.
- Digital books — downloadable publications on cybersecurity, digital ethics, AI responsibility, and related topics, sold through third-party platforms (Amazon and equivalents) or directly.
- Educational courses — online courses on digital protection, ethical AI use, and cyber hygiene, delivered via this website or third-party platforms as specified at point of sale.
Descriptions of services, books, and courses are provided for informational purposes. We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, or update any offering at any time. We will notify existing clients of material changes to agreed engagements.
2. Enquiries and engagement
Submitting an enquiry through this website does not constitute a binding contract. A contract for advisory services is formed only when both parties have agreed in writing to the scope, terms, and fees of a specific engagement. These Terms apply in the absence of a more specific written agreement.
3. Prices and payment
Prices for services, books, and courses are stated at the point of purchase or in a written proposal. All prices are in euros unless otherwise stated. Applicable taxes are the responsibility of the purchaser in accordance with the laws of their jurisdiction.
Payment terms for advisory services are specified in the engagement proposal. Digital books and courses must be paid in full before access is granted.
4. Cancellation and refund policy
4.1 Advisory services
You may cancel an advisory engagement before work has commenced for a full refund. Once work has commenced, you will be invoiced proportionally for the work completed up to the date of cancellation.
4.2 Digital books
Due to the nature of digital products, purchases of digital books are non-refundable once the download or access link has been delivered, unless the file is defective or inaccessible. In such cases, contact us within 7 days of purchase.
4.3 Educational courses
You have the right to withdraw from a course purchase within 14 days of purchase, provided you have not yet accessed the course materials. If you have accessed the materials, the right of withdrawal does not apply. To exercise this right, notify us at contact@maschiettoadvisory.com within the 14-day period. Refunds will be processed within 14 days using the original payment method.
4.4 Consumer rights under EU law
If you are a consumer located in the European Union, your statutory rights under EU consumer protection law apply in addition to these Terms. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes rights that cannot be excluded by law.
5. Intellectual property
All content on this website, including text, graphics, course materials, and publications, is the intellectual property of Eduardo Maschietto or used with permission. All rights are reserved.

6. Disclaimer and limitation of liability
Content on this website is provided for general informational purposes. Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial, or regulatory advice.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Eduardo Maschietto and TechIT Europe shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this website or any products or services obtained through it.
