A two-part working file set that organises the duties of Decreto legislativo 9 aprile 2003, n. 70 into phases of open questions, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.

Included from the Micro level.

Every toolkit in the level is included; nothing is bought one by one.

The businesses it reaches

This instrument reaches businesses that provide information society services in the internal market, including online sellers, e-commerce operators, internet service providers, and any employer or company that offers services by electronic means. It sets the legal conditions under which those services are supplied across borders. The toolkit organises the resulting duties into phases of open questions that a business answers from its own records.

The first working file covers the compliance duties that apply to service providers, including the information requirements, the rules on commercial communications, and the obligations of intermediary service providers. The second working file covers the burden of proof and the remaining duties that follow, including the rules on out-of-court dispute settlement and the cooperation duties with authorities. Each duty is presented with the statutory text carried verbatim beside it, so the business reads the law's own words while answering.

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, and the documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Questions and answers

Which businesses fall under this instrument?

The instrument applies to providers of information society services established in Italy, including online sellers, e-commerce platforms, internet access providers, and businesses that advertise or sell electronically. It also reaches employers and companies that use electronic means to offer services across the internal market. A business can check its own position by working through the open questions in the first working file.

What does the first working file cover?

The first working file covers the compliance duties that apply to service providers, including the information to be given to recipients, the rules on commercial communications, and the obligations of intermediary service providers. It presents each duty as an open question the business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside it.

What does the second working file cover?

The second working file covers the burden of proof and the duties that follow, including the rules on out-of-court dispute settlement and cooperation with the authorities. It organises those duties into open questions and carries the statutory text beside each one.

How are the sections delivered?

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The business answers the open questions from its own records within that environment.

What documents come back from the toolkit?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports. The business keeps them in its own file. Each report records the answers given to the open questions for that phase.

Does the toolkit tell a business what to do?

The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised. The business reads the statutory text beside each duty and answers the open questions from its own records. The resulting dated compliance reports stay in the business's own file.

What information must an online seller give to its customers?

The first working file sets out the information duties that apply to service providers, including the identity of the provider, the terms of the service, and the rules on commercial communications. Each duty is an open question the business answers from its own records, with the statutory text beside it.

What does the burden of proof mean for a service provider?

The second working file covers the burden of proof and the duties that follow. It presents the relevant provisions as open questions, so the business can establish from its own records what it must be able to demonstrate. The statutory text is carried beside each duty.

How does the toolkit handle disputes with customers?

The second working file covers the rules on out-of-court dispute settlement and the cooperation duties with authorities. Those rules appear as open questions the business answers from its own records. The statutory text sits beside each question.

Can a business use the toolkit without legal training?

The toolkit is a set of working files that organise the instrument's obligations into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty, so the business reads the law's own words. The dated compliance reports that come back are kept in the business's own file.
