Terms of service

ARTICLE I — PREAMBLE, PARTIES, AND ASSENT

These Conditions constitute a binding juridical instrument governing the provision, access, and utilisation of all services, facilities, conveniences, and accommodations proffered by no CTRL — whether within our physical emporium, via digital portal, through electronic correspondence, or by any other conduit whatsoever.
These Conditions bind:
  • The Provider: no CTRL, the entity furnishing the services, hereinafter “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Provider”, “the Disponent”;
  • The Recipient: Any natural or juridical person availing themselves of, accessing, or otherwise utilising said services, hereinafter “you”, “your”, “the Recipient”, “the Patron”.
By entering our premises, engaging with our digital domain, or soliciting any service from us, you hereby irrevocably evince unqualified, fully informed, and uncoerced assent to every clause, covenant, and stipulation contained herein. This assent operates with the same juridical force and effect as a formal instrument executed under hand. These Conditions supersede all prior oral representations, collateral understandings, or conflicting terms — all of which are hereby peremptorily repudiated.
We reserve the unilateral and absolute prerogative to amend, abrogate, or restate these Conditions at any juncture, sans antecedent notification. Amendments attain force upon publication; continued utilisation thereafter constitutes renewed ratification.

ARTICLE II — SCOPE OF SERVICES AND FURNISHING

The services proffered by us include, without limitation: in-store merchandising exposition, product exhibition, advisory counsel, order processing, dispatching coordination, customer correspondence, and such ancillary accommodations as we may, in our sole discretion, elect to provide.
We proffer no guaranty — express, implied, or constructive — regarding the availability, continuity, timeliness, or uninterrupted operability of any service. Services are furnished as they stand and as they lie, with all faults, and upon the explicit understanding that we may suspend, withdraw, modify, or curtail any service — temporarily or permanently — at any time, for any rationale, and without incurrence of attendant liability.
Advisory counsel, aesthetic guidance, sizing recommendation, and stylistic suggestion — whether verbal, textual, or illustrative — are proffered for edification only and without binding force. Such counsel does not constitute a warranty, representation, or contractual assurance of any nature. You rely upon such guidance exclusively at your own peril.

ARTICLE III — OBLIGATIONS OF THE RECIPIENT

You hereby covenant and undertake:
  • To furnish accurate, veracious, complete, and current information when soliciting services;
  • Not to utilise our services for any unlawful, tortious, or fraudulent purpose;
  • Not to interfere with, disrupt, or impair the operability, security, or integrity of our premises, systems, or digital infrastructure;
  • To comply with all posted prescriptions, temporal restrictions, and behavioural protocols maintained within our emporium;
  • To indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, or exactions arising from your breach of these Conditions, your misuse of our services, or any act or omission imputable to you.

ARTICLE IV — FEES, CONSIDERATION, AND ADDITIONAL IMPOSTS

Where consideration is demanded for any service, the stipulated fee shall be due and payable in full at the juncture of solicitation, unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. All quoted valuations are denominated in Euros (€) inclusive of applicable Belgian VAT. Additional imposts, surcharges, or fiscal levies hereafter imposed by sovereign authority shall be borne exclusively by you.
We reserve the prerogative to revise fee structures at any juncture. Errors, omissions, or manifest clerical anomalies in quoted valuations shall be deemed non-binding, and we shall be entitled to correct such discrepancies and adjust consideration accordingly.

ARTICLE V — SERVICE PERFORMANCE AND TEMPORAL ESTIMATES

Any timeline, schedule, or date communicated concerning the rendition of service is provisional and approximate only. We proffer no guaranty of punctual performance, and delays — of any duration — shall not constitute a ground for rescission, deduction, reimbursement, or claim. We shall be entitled to reasonable extensions of time occasioned by circumstances beyond our immediate and proximate dominion.
Our obligation to render services shall be susceptible to suspension or rescission should you fail to furnish requisite information, grant necessary cooperation, or discharge consideration in timely fashion.

ARTICLE VI — ABSENCE OF WARRANTIES AND UNDERTAKINGS

To the fullest latitude permitted by Belgian law:
  • All services are rendered upon an “as is” and “as available” basis. We expressly, unequivocally, and comprehensively disclaim all warranties — express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, skill, care, timeliness, and non-infringement.
  • We warrant nothing whatsoever concerning the quality, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or utility of any information, counsel, or guidance furnished in the course of service rendition.
  • No oral statement, written document, promotional material, or illustrative imagery shall be construed as creating a warranty or altering the tenor of this clause.
  • Statutory caveat: Nothing herein shall serve to vitiate non-derogable warranties mandated imperatively by Belgian law regarding the rendition of consumer services, which shall be confined strictly to the minimal requirements proscribed by positive law.

ARTICLE VII — CIRCUMscription OF LIABILITY

To the maximal extent permissible under Belgian jurisprudence:

§ 7.1 EXCLUDED CATEGORIES OF DETRIMENT

We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, special, collateral, or derivative damages whatsoever — including but not limited to foregone profits, loss of revenue, interruption of commerce, loss of data, loss of opportunity, emotional distress, or any pecuniary or non-pecuniary detriment — arising out of or in connection with the rendition or non-rendition of services, even if apprised of the reasonable probability of such detriment.

§ 7.2 MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY

Under no circumstance shall our total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising from a single engagement or transaction exceed the total consideration actually remitted by you to us in exchange for the specific service giving rise to the grievance.

§ 7.3 SPECIFIC IMMUNITIES

We shall be absolved of all liability for detriment occasioned, in whole or in part, by:
  • Information, specifications, or directives furnished by you or third parties;
  • Your misinterpretation, misuse, or improper application of services or information furnished;
  • Events of force majeure — including but not limited to atmospheric convulsions, labour disturbances, sovereignal decrees, civil commotion, infrastructural failure, or any contingency beyond our immediate operational dominion;
  • Delay, omission, error, or default attributable to third-party agents, carriers, or independent contractors;
  • Any act, omission, negligence, or fault imputable to you.

§ 7.4 NON-DEROGABLE EXCEPTIONS

No provision herein shall operate to exclude liability for bodily injury, death, or fraudulent misrepresentation insofar as such exclusion is proscribed by imperative Belgian law.

ARTICLE VIII — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

All content, methodology, creative input, stylistic guidance, and proprietary insight furnished by us in the course of service rendition remains our exclusive intellectual property. You shall not reproduce, disseminate, or exploit such content for commercial purposes without our prior written acquiescence.
Neither party shall be deemed to hold fiduciary status or relationship by virtue of service rendition. Information exchanged in the course of commerce shall not be accorded confidential status unless explicitly designated as such in writing.

ARTICLE IX — SUSPENSION, TERMINATION, AND CESSATION

We reserve the absolute, unilateral, and non-reviewable prerogative to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to our services — forthwith and sans antecedent notice — should you breach any provision herein, should we deem your conduct prejudicial to our interests, or for any other rationale whatsoever in our sole discretion.
Upon termination, all accrued obligations and stipulations concerning liability, indemnity, proprietary rights, and dispute resolution shall survive and remain operative indefinitely.

ARTICLE X — GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Conditions and all service relationships arising hereunder shall be construed, governed, and enforced exclusively in accordance with the substantive and procedural law of the Kingdom of Belgium, to the exclusion of any conflict-of-law principles pointing to another jurisdiction.
Any controversy, claim, or dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive territorial jurisdiction of the competent courts of Ghent, East Flanders, Belgium. You hereby irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and waive any plea of forum non conveniens — save only such non-derogable consumer protections as cannot be contracted away under imperative law.

ARTICLE XI — GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 11.1 SEVERABILITY

Should any clause herein be adjudged invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force. The stricken clause shall be deemed replaced by a valid provision most nearly approximating its original intent.

§ 11.2 WAIVER

No delay, forbearance, or indulgence by us shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy. No single partial exercise of any right shall preclude further exercise.

§ 11.3 ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING

These Conditions constitute the entire, complete, and exclusive agreement between us and you concerning the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written representations.

§ 11.4 ELECTRONIC PUBLICATION

Electronic publication of these Conditions carries the same force and effect as a formally executed written instrument.
