2) Our website
2.1 Proper functioning, safety, and accessibility
You can rest assured that we offer a user-friendly website that is safe for every User. We therefore take all reasonable measures necessary to guarantee the proper functioning, safety, and accessibility of our website. However, we cannot give you absolute guarantees, and our measures should be considered an obligation of means.
Every use of the website is always at your own risk. This means that we bear no liability for damage resulting from malfunctions, interruptions, harmful elements, or defects in the website, regardless of the existence of an external cause or force majeure.
We have the right to restrict and/or interrupt access to our website, in whole or in part, at any time, without prior warning. In principle, we do this only if circumstances justify it, but this is not an absolute condition.
2.2 Content on our website
The content of the website is largely determined by us, and we take the utmost care with this content. This means that we take the necessary measures to keep our website as complete, accurate, and up-to-date as possible, even when content is provided by third parties. The content on our website may be changed, supplemented, or removed at any time.
However, we cannot provide any guarantees regarding the quality of the information on our website. It is possible that information is not complete, sufficiently accurate, and/or useful. Consequently, we are not liable for any (direct and indirect) damage suffered by the User as a result of the information on our website.
In the event that certain content on our website constitutes a violation of applicable law and/or a violation of the rights of third parties and/or is simply unacceptable, we ask you to report this to us as soon as possible so that we can take appropriate measures. Thus, we may proceed to a partial or complete removal and/or modification of the content. Our website contains content that can be downloaded. Every download from our website is always at your own risk. We are not liable for this, and damage resulting from a loss of data or damage to the computer system falls entirely and exclusively under the responsibility of the User. 2.3 What we expect from you as a User The User also bears a certain responsibility when using our website. The User must always refrain from actions that could have a harmful impact on the proper functioning and security of the website. For example, the website may not be used to circumvent our business model and/or to collect information from other Users on a large scale. Consequently, it is recommended not to use our website for the dissemination of content that may cause harm to other Users of the website, such as the distribution of harmful software like computer viruses, malware, worms, trojans, and cancelbots. The distribution of unsolicited and/or commercial messages via the website, such as junk mail, spamming, and chain letters, also falls under this. We reserve the right to take all necessary actions that may result in redress for us and for our Users, both judicially and extrajudicially. The User is solely and fully responsible if his actions and conduct effectively cause damage to the website and other Users. In that case, he must indemnify FCO Media against any resulting damage claim. 3) Links to other websites The content of our website may contain a link, hyperlink, or framed link to external websites or other forms of electronic portals. A link does not automatically imply that a connection exists between us and the external website, nor that we (implicitly) agree with the content of these websites. We have no control over these external websites and are not responsible for the safe and correct functioning of the link and the final destination. As soon as you click on the link, you leave our website and can no longer hold us liable for any damages. It is possible that external websites do not offer the same guarantees as we do. Therefore, we recommend carefully reviewing the General Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Statement of these websites.
4) Intellectual Property
Creativity deserves protection, as do our website and its content. This protection is provided by intellectual property rights and belongs to all rights-holding parties, namely FCO Media and third parties. Content is understood to encompass the very broad category of photos, video, audio, text, ideas, notes, drawings, articles, et cetera. All this content is protected by copyright, software rights, database rights, design and model rights, and other applicable (intellectual) property rights. The technical nature of our website itself is protected by copyright, software rights, and database rights. Any trade name we use on our websites is also protected by applicable trade name law or trademark law.
Every User is granted a limited right of access, use, and display of our websites and their content. This granted right is non-exclusive, non-transferable, and may only be used within a personal, non-commercial context. We therefore ask our Users not to use and/or modify items protected by these rights without the permission of the rights holder. FCO Media attaches great importance to its intellectual property rights and has taken all possible measures to guarantee their protection. Any infringement of existing intellectual property rights will be prosecuted.
5) Processing of personal data
The information you provide is necessary for processing and completing orders, and for drawing up invoices and warranty contracts. A minimum amount of data is required for each order. Further data may be requested depending on the personalization of the order. If the minimum data is missing, the order will inevitably be cancelled. Providing incorrect or false personal data is considered a breach of these General Terms and Conditions. The Buyer's personal data will be processed exclusively in accordance with the applicable Privacy Policy, which can be consulted via our website.
6) General provisions regarding the General Terms and Conditions.
We reserve the right to modify, expand, restrict, or discontinue our website and the associated services at any time. This may be done without prior notice to the User and does not give rise to any form of compensation.
These General Terms and Conditions are exclusively governed by and interpreted in accordance with Belgian law. All disputes relating to or arising from offers made by FCO Media, or agreements concluded with it, shall be submitted to the competent court in the judicial district of Antwerp.
If the operation or validity of one or more of the above provisions of these General Terms and Conditions is compromised, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this agreement. In such a case, we have the right to amend the provision in question into a valid provision of similar purport.
