3. OUR OBLIGATIONS
3.1 Our values, proper functioning, security and accessibility
You can be rest assured: we offer a user-friendly Website that is secure for every User. We take all reasonable measures that are necessary to ensure the proper functioning, safety and accessibility of our Website. This refers to both technical, non-technical and organizational measures. Yet, we cannot give any absolute guarantee in this regard, and one must consider our actions as an obligation of means.
Every use of the Website is always at the User’s own risk. This means that we can never be held liable for damages arising from malfunctions, interruptions, harmful elements or defects of the Website, regardless the existence of force majeure or an external cause. T.S.I. puts it Website “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” at the disposal of the Users, which means without any explicit or implicit guarantee concerning the proper functioning, security and accessibility.
T.S.I. can apply a temporary or permanent limitation of access to certain functionalities or a temporary or permanent restriction from the right of use, even without prior warning. In principle, we will only take such measures when justified by the circumstances. This is however no absolute condition.
3.2 Content on the Website
T.S.I. takes all necessary and reasonable measures to ensure that the information presented on the Website is complete, correct, up-to-date and accurate. However, T.S.I. cannot give any guarantees with regard to the quality and completeness of the information on the Website. As a consequence, T.S.I. cannot be held liable for (direct and indirect) damages suffered by the User as a result of the information on the Website.
In the event that certain content on our Website should entail an infringement of our Terms of Use, the applicable regulations and/or a violation of the rights of third parties, and/or simply is not acceptable, we ask you to notify us as soon as possible.

4. LIABILITY
T.S.I. is only liable for any imputed serious or repeated minor contractual and / or non-contractual breach caused in the performance of its obligations under these Terms of Use.
T.S.I. is in no way liable for any indirect damages that arise from its shortcomings. Indirect damages certainly include any kind of consequential damages, lost profits, financial or commercial losses, increasing the overall costs, increased personnel costs, damages for loss of clients and/or potential. This list is only indicative and certainly not exhaustive.
T.S.I. is not liable for any kind of loss and/or damages on the part of the User or a third party as long as T.S.I. acts in accordance with its Terms of Use and its Privacy Statement.

T.S.I. does not exclude its liability in case of fraud or wilful misconduct on the condition that the fraud or wilful misconduct is attributable to T.S.I.
If T.S.I. is prevented to fulfil all or part of its obligations to the other party due to circumstances beyond its control, there will be force majeure. Force majeure is interpreted very broadly and also includes the acts of third parties. T.S.I. is in that case entitled to suspend its obligations for the duration of the force majeure.
In the event that the liability of T.S.I. is at stake as a result of a contractual or extra-contractual shortcoming imputable to User and/or T.S.I. suffers any damages, losses or costs (including costs for legal aid), the User has to take all necessary measure to indemnify T.S.I. against these adverse effects.

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Creativity deserves protection, and so does our Website and its content. This protection is provided by intellectual property rights which belong to all entitled parties, being T.S.I. and third parties. Content means the very broad category of photos, video, audio, text, ideas, notes, drawings, articles, etc. All this content is protected by copyright, software rights, database right, design and model rights and other applicable (intellectual) property rights. The technical character of our Website is protected by copyright, software rights and database right.
The trade name T.S.I., the related tag lines, logo(s), color combination and every trade name that we use on our Website ourselves are also protected by the applicable intellectual property rights. We ask our Users not to use and/or modify the intellectual property rights as described in this article, without the consent of the entitled party.
The User undertakes not to violate the intellectual property rights of T.S.I. or any other party in any way. T.S.I. can in no way be held liable should the User violate the intellectual property rights of third parties. Possible factual or legal consequences are thus fully for the account of the User.
8. MISCELLANEOUS
T.S.I. is free to modify, expand, limit or terminate the Website at all times. The use of this right requires no prior notice and does not give rise to a compensation.
The nullity or invalidity of (a part of) a provision of these Terms of Use does not affect the applicability of the remaining provisions. The disputed provision is considered to stand alone. T.S.I. has the right to replace the provision by a valid provision of similar purpose. The use of (sub-)titles in the Terms of Use has a purely illustrative value.
These Terms of Use are exclusively governed and interpreted in accordance with Belgian law. In case of dispute concerning the validity, interpretation, enforcement and performance of these Terms of Use, parties are committed to resolve disputes as much as possible in mutual consent. If no amicable solution can be achieved, the dispute will be submitted to a center for arbitration and mediation (such as CEPINA) or a competent court.
