Licence of use for Franco Angeli’s e-books
All e-books are entirely protected by copyright. When downloading the e-book, the user accepts the terms and conditions listed below. The user is given the following licence of use: 

1. The user is authorized to download and save the e-book on their pc or other devices. The saving of a copy of the book (or some extracts) on networks that make it available simultaneously on several computers is not allowed; 
2. The user is authorised to use the digital book, exclusively for personal purposes (study or research). Commercial usage is forbidden. Printing of the e-book (or some extracts) is not authorised. Direct or indirect commercial use of the work (or its extracts) is not allowed.

This is a small request we make to be able to keep an affordable price policy. If publishing costs were to be repaid by a small number of sold copies and readers, the latter would inevitably pay excessive prices. We believe it is fair for everyone to contribute to supporting publication costs.

We are committed to making e-books accessible also to blind and partially-sighted people to satisfy their need to train and learn. For this reason, we believe in Progetto Libri Italiani Accessibili (LIA) and we have been among the first to subscribe to Fondazione LIA.
