A pop-up warning is automatically displayed when an Internet user first visits a page on the site, as well as during subsequent visits, unless the Internet user has clicked the button in the pop-up confirming that they no longer wish to see this warning. This pop-up is used to let visitors know that this site features general terms and conditions of use, a privacy policy, and the use of cookies.

Our terms and conditions are archived. They may be changed at any time.

If any provision in the general terms and conditions is considered to be unlawful, void or for any other reason unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable from the terms and conditions and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

These terms and conditions may be changed by us at any time without any prior notice. The general terms and conditions applicable to you are those in force on the day you log in to this site. We will of course keep all our earlier versions of the general terms and conditions and send them to you on request.

9. Applicable law

These general terms and conditions are governed by Belgian law, unless otherwise provided for by international law.

10. Dispute settlement

Before initiating legal proceedings, an out-of-court settlement may be sought on a bilateral basis. The services of a professional mediator may also be called upon

a) Out-of-court settlement

With the exception of public policy provisions, any disputes that may arise in connection with the performance of these general terms and conditions may be submitted to the site publisher with a view to achieving an out-of-court settlement prior to any legal action. It is expressly reiterated that requests for out-of-court settlements do not suspend the time limits for instituting legal proceedings.

b) Consumer mediation

See the site http://ec.europa.eu/odr/ and the additional information in the article on this subject in the general terms and conditions of sale.

c) Legal proceedings

In the absence of an out-of-court settlement (or mediation leading to a proposal accepted by both parties), LANAFORM will designate the courts of the judicial district of Liège (Belgium) as the only competent courts, except in the case where the user is a European consumer and the jurisdiction of these courts cannot be valid taking into account the regulations in force.
