Preamble:

The Associazione Kòres, with its registered office at Strada Castelvecchio 40, 10024 Moncalieri (TO), Tax Code 97717650010 (hereinafter, the “Association”), winner of the “Ecosistemi Culturali” public call promoted by Fondazione CDP—the non-profit foundation of the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti Group—has developed this application, which is made available free of charge to all users interested in visiting the Leumann Village.

The Leumann Village is a historic workers’ district located in the municipality of Collegno, in the province of Turin. It was built in the late 19th century at the initiative of Swiss entrepreneur Napoleone Leumann.

Here, industrial architecture was elevated to the level of art, and still today, it draws the gaze of visitors thanks to its distinctive architectural style. Napoleone Leumann had a residential and social-welfare complex constructed around his Cotton Mill—then one of the leading textile manufacturing industries—designed to accommodate the workers employed in the factory: a city within the city. Pietro Fenoglio, an engineer and hygienist, designed the village between 1875 and 1907. The architectural style is Art Nouveau (Stile Liberty) and comprises approximately 60 buildings, covering a total area of over 70,000 square meters.

In the 1970s, following the crisis and subsequent closure of the Cotton Mill, the Village became the property of the Municipality of Collegno, which allocated the housing units to citizens in accordance with public housing regulations. The Leumann Village is currently protected under the authority of  the Regional Directorate for Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Piedmont, and major restoration works are ongoing, involving both the green areas and several residential structures.

This application offers a high engaging experience, enabling users to immerse themselves in the evocative atmosphere of this unique location—between past and future—through multimedia content accessible via the App. Thematic routes have been developed within the App, focusing on art, social sustainability, history, and local heritage, with a clear cultural and touristic purpose: to promote greater awareness and appreciation of this singular example of industrial archaeology.

1. Purpose

These Terms and Conditions of Use (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms”) govern the use of the “Villaggio Leumann” application (hereinafter referred to as the “Application”), developed for the interactive enjoyment of cultural and educational routes within the “Villaggio Leumann” and other workers’ villages in the Piedmont region.

2. Acceptance of Terms

Access to and use of the Application implies full acceptance of these Terms by the user. Should the user not agree, in whole or in part, with the Terms, they are advised not to install or use the Application.

These Terms shall be construed as a binding agreement between the Association, as the sole owner and operator of the Application, and the users of the Application, hereinafter referred to as “User” and collectively as “Users.”

Access to the Application is free of charge unless otherwise specified for certain premium services or content.

Some functionalities may require user registration or the granting of permissions (e.g., geolocation). The User undertakes to provide accurate and up-to-date information.

3. Eligibility Requirements

Use of the Application is permitted to:

• Users aged 18 years or older, subject to registration by entering the following personal data: full name, gender, age, email address, city of origin, and nickname, and subject to the express acceptance of these Terms and the Privacy Policy pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Failure to declare having reached the age of 18 will prevent completion of the standard registration process.

• Users under the age
  of 18 but over the age of 14, subject to the acquisition of the relevant consents as permitted by law upon reaching the age of 14 (in case of opportunity, possibly by the respective holders of parental responsibility (parents) or guardians which will be done by the relevant School Institute).
  Access will occur exclusively via a simplified procedure in which the teacher/group leader, acting as the group supervisor, creates a group and generates a QR code to be scanned by the under-18 users for whom consent has been obtained. This QR code allows access to a simplified version that does not require the same registration process as that for users aged 14 and over, with only a nickname required and no further personal data.

Failure to declare that you are 14 years of age or older will result in your inability to be configured as a group member and to subsequent simplified access.

The Application disclaims and declines any liability for the proper and complete acquisition of the abovementioned consents, placing the burden of responsibility solely on the teacher or holder of parental responsibility.

To use all features of the Application, the User must register an account and provide the requested personal data. Users must set a strong password (minimum of 8 characters, including at least one uppercase letter and one number) to ensure secure access to their account. The User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and agrees to accept liability for any unauthorized or non-compliant activity performed through their account.

If the User has reason to believe their account is no longer secure (e.g., in case of loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of their account ID or password), they must notify the Application via email at: infokores@gmail.com Upon first login following credential recovery or reset, Users may update their credentials and are required to keep them confidential.

Users will be held liable for any damage caused to the Application or third parties as a result of unauthorized use of their account.

4. Features Description

The Application enables the User to:

• access thematic routes via activation of multimedia content (videos) using geofencing technology, conditioned on the User’s physical presence in geolocated areas;
• participate in interactive quizzes and activities that allow the accumulation of points contributing to an automated monthly leaderboard;
• access additional informational sections, such as an interactive map of workers’ villages and an event calendar (linked to the Association’s website);
• use a feature to share images on the official Instagram profile of Villaggio Leumann (available only to users over the age of 18).

Video playback is triggered only when the device is properly positioned in landscape mode. The Application may prompt the User to stop moving in order to watch the content.

Geolocation services can only be activated with the User’s consent. Therefore, proper functioning of all features of the Application is subject to the User’s authorization of geolocation (e.g., playback of explanatory videos based on geofencing) directly through the device’s system permission settings

This feature is optional and can be disabled at any time via the device settings, which may partially or entirely limit the functionality of the Application.

For further details, please refer to the Privacy Policy.

In any case, the Application contains an interactive map section showing the Piedmontese workers’ villages, with clickable access to related information.

5. Leaderboard and Prizes

The User can earn points through the following activities:

• viewing video content;
• providing correct answers to quizzes;
• physically reaching designated points of interest (hereinafter, “Stations”).

At various Stations, quizzes with one or more questions will appear, which users can answer to earn leaderboard points. Correct answers award points, which accumulate with those earned by visiting Stations or participating in other events listed on the dedicated page. These points will be displayed in a dedicated summary section and will form the basis of the final ranking.

The leaderboard will be updated automatically. Every month, the top-ranking user will be notified via email sent to the address provided during registration.

After completing the visit, the User may voluntarily submit feedback for evaluation of the Application.
