General App Use Conditions

This page contains the General Conditions for use of the mobile application EXPO MILANO 2015 Official App (hereinafter "General Conditions" and "App") that must be observed by anyone using the App. Using the App and any actions involving itself imply acceptance of the General Conditions. If the user chooses not to accept the General Conditions, it is sufficient that he or she abstain from using the App itself.

Any party accessing the App implicitly states that he/she/they will not use the App or the material contained in it for illicit purposes or in ways that violate laws and regulations in force.
