Article 7 – Liability

7.1 General

We, as the Service Provider, will always strive to execute the Agreement to the best of our insight, ability, and in accordance with the standards of good craftsmanship. You, as the Client, acknowledge that we, as the Service Provider, have only an obligation of effort and not an obligation of result.

We, as the Service Provider, have the right to engage third parties for the execution of the Agreement. We, as the Service Provider, have selected these third parties with the utmost care to achieve a high quality of execution.

7.2 Force Majeure

We, as the Service Provider, accept no liability when we are unable to fulfill our obligations due to force majeure or external causes. When the force majeure is only temporary in nature, we will still attempt to meet our contractual obligations from the moment it is reasonably possible to do so again.

If it is determined that continuation is no longer possible, the Agreement will be revised or dissolved by mutual agreement.

7.3 Relationships with Third Parties

To the extent that we, as the Service Provider, are dependent on the cooperation, services, and deliveries of third parties, we, as the Service Provider, cannot be held liable in any way for damages arising from these relationships or their termination.

7.4 Contractual Breaches

If a serious breach is attributable to us, as the Service Provider, during the execution of our Agreement, you, as the Client, may formally put us in default in writing. In this case, we, as the Service Provider, will be granted a reasonable period to fulfill our obligations.

Except in cases of fraud, intentional misconduct, or gross negligence, we are not liable for or required to compensate for immaterial, indirect, or consequential damages, including (but not limited to) loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of income, production limitations, administrative or personnel costs, an increase in general expenses, loss of clientele, or claims from third parties.

7.5 Limitation of Compensation

Our total maximum contractual and non-contractual liability for all damage incidents that occur during the Execution of the Agreement is at all times limited to an amount equal to the invoice value of the Service or Product, even in the case of gross negligence.

Article 8 – Data Processing

8.1 By using our Services, you give us explicit consent to process your personal data for the purpose of delivering the Services. Additionally, the provided data may also be used for customer management, newsletters, advertising or marketing purposes, and statistical data collection.
8.2 We respect the General Data Protection Regulation of May 24, 2016, regarding the protection of privacy in the processing of personal data.
8.3 All personal data provided and processed via our website or in the context of the Services rendered will be treated confidentially and will not be shared with third parties without your consent, unless this is necessary for the delivery of the Service.

Article 9 – Confidentiality

9.1 The parties shall be bound by a complete confidentiality obligation.

This means that, except with the explicit consent of the other party, they may not use, disseminate, or transfer any of each other’s trade secrets related to any business aspect, including but not limited to pricing, marketing, production, financing, and strategic development of the business, lists or details regarding Clients and past or potential Clients, contractual terms, etc.

This confidentiality obligation shall apply during the term of the Agreement and for 20 years after the termination of the Agreement.

9.2 The confidentiality obligation ceases if one of the parties is required to disclose the confidential information to third parties due to a legal provision or a court ruling.

Article 10 – General

10.1. No one can transfer their rights and/or obligations arising from these general terms and conditions or our agreements to a third party without the consent of the other party.

10.2. If any provision (or part thereof) of the General Terms and Conditions is unenforceable or in conflict with a provision of mandatory law, this will not affect the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of these General Terms and Conditions, nor the validity and enforceability of that part of the relevant provision that is not unenforceable or in conflict with a provision of mandatory law. In such a case, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to replace the unenforceable or conflicting provision with an enforceable and legally valid provision that closely aligns with the purpose and intent of the original provision.

10.3. This agreement is governed by Belgian law. Any dispute regarding the interpretation or execution of a contract and concerning our invoices falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Antwerp, unless mandatory law dictates otherwise.
