2/ Our Website
2.1 Proper functioning, safety and accessibility
Q CHOCOLATE offers a user-friendly Website that is safe for every user. We take all reasonable and necessary measures to ensure the proper functioning, safety and accessibility of our Website. Yet we cannot give you an absolute guarantee on this matter. We are bound by an obligation of means only.
Any use of the Website is entirely at your own risk. We are not liable for damages resulting from malfunctions, interruptions, defects, harmful elements or other problems on or within our website, regardless of the existence of force majeure or other extraneous events.
We have the right to restrict and/or interrupt fully or partially the access to our Website, at any time and without prior warning. We will only take such measures if this is justified by the circumstances, without this being in any way a condition to be covered.
Access to our site is provided “as is” and on an “as available” basis. We may change, suspend or discontinue our site (or any part of it) at any time without notice. We are in no way liable to you if our site (or any part of it) is unavailable at any time and for any period.
It is prohibited to use automated systems or software to extract data from our Website for commercial purposes.
2.2 Content on our Website
The information on the Website is determined solely by us. We take the necessary measures to keep the content on our Website as complete, accurate and current as possible. The content on our Website can always be changed, supplemented or removed. However, we cannot give any guarantees about the quality of the information on our Website. Information may not be complete, sufficiently accurate and/or useful. We are therefore not liable for (direct and indirect) damage suffered by the visitor to our Website as a result of the information available on our Website.
Our Website contains content that can be downloaded. Any download from our Website is always at your own risk. We do not accept any liability for any damage as a result of a download, including, but not limited to, loss of data or damage to the computer system of the visitor to our Website.
2.3 What we expect from you as a User
Every visitor to our Website bears a certain responsibility when using our Website. The visitor must always refrain from actions that could have a harmful impact on the proper functioning and security of the Website, as well as on other visitors to the Website. For example, the Website may not be used to circumvent our business model and/or to collect information from other visitors on a large scale. The visitor to our Website agrees that the use of automated systems or software to extract data from this website for commercial purposes is prohibited.
It is therefore forbidden to distribute content via our Website that (may) damage(s) other users of the Website. We may think at the spread of malicious software, computer viruses, malware, worms, trojans and cancelbots. The proliferation of unsolicited and/or commercial messages via the Website, such as junk mail, spam and chain letters, is also targeted.
We reserve the right to take all necessary (judicial and extrajudicial) actions that may offer appropriate remedies to the affected parties. The user is solely responsible for all actions exerted on the Website that cause damages to the Website and/or to other users. If this occurs, the user has the obligation to keep Q CHOCOLATE harmless and indemnified from all claims that may arise.
3/ Links to other websites
Our Website may contain or provide hyperlinks or pointed to other websites and/or electronic communication portals maintained by third parties or may provide third party content on our Website by framing or other methods. Such a reference being made on our Website does not mean that there is any connection between our Website and these third-party websites nor that we (implicitly) agree with the content of those sites.
We do not guarantee or assume any liability for the accuracy, legality, completeness or quality of the content of external websites linked to on our Website or of other electronic communications portals that are not under our actual control. These references are therefore to click at your own risk and responsibility. We are not liable for any damage resulting therefrom.
These external websites do not offer the same guarantees as we do. We therefor recommend you to carefully read the terms and conditions and privacy statement of these other websites.
4/ Intellectual Property Rights
Creativity deserves protection; so does our Website and its content. Such protection is provided by intellectual property rights and is entitled to all parties, i.e. Q CHOCOLATE and third parties. Content means the very broad category of photos, video, audio, text, ideas, notes, drawings, articles, et cetera. This content is protected by copyright, software rights, database rights, designs and models rights, and other applicable (intellectual property) rights. The technical nature of our Website is protected by copyright and by the rights on software and databases. Each trade name that we use on our Website is protected by trademark law.
Each user receives a limited right to access, use and display our Website and its content. This right is granted in a non-exclusive and non-transferable manner and can only be used within a personal, non-commercial context. We ask our users not to create nor to bring changes to the intellectual property rights as described in this article without the consent of the owner. Q CHOCOLATE attaches great importance to its intellectual property rights and has taken all possible measures to ensure its protection. We will take legal actions against any infringement of existing intellectual property rights.
5/ General provisions
We reserve the right to change, limit or discontinue our Website and related services at any time and to any extent. We may do so without noticing the user. This does not give rise to any form of compensation.
These Terms and Conditions shall be exclusively governed by and interpreted in accordance with Belgian law. Any dispute arising under or relating to the services of Q CHOCOLATE shall come under the jurisdiction of the competent court in the judicial district where our head office is located.
If a provision of these Terms and Conditions is deemed invalid, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions, which shall remain in full force and effect. We retain the right to propose a valid modification of the disputed clause(s).
