These General Terms and Conditions apply both to us, Carmelitana, and to you, the User. Once you use our website, you expressly acknowledge and accept that our Terms and Conditions apply and that the application of our own Terms and Conditions is completely waived.

We may deviate from the Terms and Conditions in exceptional cases, provided that these deviations are recorded in writing and accepted by all parties. These deviations only replace or supplement the clauses to which they relate and do not affect the application of other provisions of the General Terms and Conditions.

2. Our website

2.1 Proper operation, security and accessibility

Rest assured, we offer a user-friendly website that is safe for any User. We take all reasonable measures to ensure the proper functioning, security and accessibility of our website. However, we cannot give you absolute guarantees and our measures must be considered as a best-efforts obligation.

Any use of the website is always at your own risk. This means that we assume no liability for damages resulting from malfunctions, interruptions, harmful elements or defects in the website, regardless of the existence of an extraneous 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 only do this if circumstances warrant, but this is not an absolute requirement.
2.2 Content on our website

The content of the website is largely determined by us and we take the utmost care in creating 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 deleted at any time.

Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee the quality of the information on our website. Information may not be complete, sufficiently accurate and/or useful. Consequently, we are not liable for (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 laws and/or a violation of the rights of third parties and/or is simply unacceptable, we ask you to notify us as soon as possible so that we can take the appropriate measures. For example, we may proceed with partial or total removal and/or modification of the content.

Our website contains content that can be downloaded. Any download from our website is always done at your own risk. We are not liable for this, and damage resulting from a loss of data or damage to the computer system is entirely and exclusively the responsibility of the User.

Specifically, prices and other information about products on the website are subject to the reservation of manifest programming and typing errors. The User cannot claim an agreement with Carmelitana on the basis of such errors.

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 not permissible to use our website to distribute content that may cause harm to other Users of the website, such as the distribution of harmful software such as computer viruses, malware, worms, trojans and cancelbots. This also includes the dissemination of unsolicited and/or commercial messages through the Website, such as junk mail, spamming and chain letters.

We reserve the right to take all necessary actions that may produce recovery for us and our Users, both judicial and extrajudicial. The User is solely personally and entirely responsible if his actions and behaviors effectively cause damage to the Website and the other Users. In this case, he must indemnify Carmelitana from any claim for damages that follows.

3. Links to other websites

The contents of our website may contain a link, hyperlink or framed link to foreign websites or other forms of electronic portals. A link does not automatically mean that there is a link between us and the foreign website, nor that we (implicitly) agree with the content of these websites.
We do not control these foreign websites and are not responsible for the safe and correct operation of the link and its final destination. Once one clicks on the link, one leaves our website and cannot hold us liable for any damages.
Foreign websites may not offer the same guarantees as we do. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Statement of these websites.

4. Intellectual Property

Creativity deserves protection, and so does our website and its content. The protection is provided by intellectual property rights and belongs to all entitled parties, being Carmelitana and third parties. Content means the very broad category of photos, video, audio, text, ideas, notes, drawings, articles, et cetera. All this content is protected by copyright law, software law, database law, design law and other applicable (intellectual) property rights. The technical nature of our website itself is protected by copyright, software law and database law. Any trade name we use on our websites is also protected by applicable trade name law or trademark law.
Each User is granted a limited right to access, use and display our websites and its content. This granted right is non-exclusive, non-transferable and can only be used within a personal, non-commercial framework. We therefore ask our Users not to use and/or modify the items protected by these rights without the consent of the rights holder. Carmelitana attaches great importance to its intellectual property rights and has taken all possible measures to ensure their protection. Any infringement of existing intellectual property rights will be prosecuted.

5.Processing of personal data

The information provided by you is necessary for the processing and completion of orders, and the preparation of invoices and guarantee contracts. A minimum amount of data is required for each order. Further data may be requested in function of personalizing the order. If the minimum data is missing, the order will inevitably be cancelled. The Buyer's personal data will only be processed in accordance with the Privacy Statement to be consulted on our website.

6. General Conditions.

We reserve the freedom to modify, expand, limit or discontinue our website and its services at any time. This may be done without prior notice to the User and shall not give rise to any form of compensation.
These General Terms and Conditions (including the Conditions of Sale) shall be exclusively governed and interpreted in accordance with Belgian Law. All disputes related to or arising from offers made by Carmelitana, or agreements concluded with it, will be submitted to the competent court in the judicial district of Ghent.
If the operation or validity of one or more of the above provisions of these General Terms and Conditions is compromised, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this agreement. In such case, we have the right to change the provision in question into a valid provision of similar purport.

Webatvantage BVBA, FeWeb vzw and/or deJuristen shall in no way be held responsible or liable for and/or in connection with the consequences of and/or damage arising from this contract.
This contract may only be used by the company that purchased the document for its own business operations and may not be resold or given to third parties.
