Disclaimer
The use of our website must always be in accordance with the rights and obligations that are clearly stated on the website and the rights and obligations stipulated in the Disclaimer, the Terms of Sale, and the Privacy Statement. The entirety of these texts are our General Terms and Conditions.
These General Terms and Conditions apply to us, Vermeulen, as well as to you, the User. As soon as you use our website, you expressly acknowledge and accept that our General Terms and Conditions apply and that you completely waive the application of your own General Terms and Conditions.
In exceptional cases, we may deviate from the General Terms and Conditions, insofar as these deviations are recorded in writing and accepted by all parties. These deviations only apply to replace or supplement the clauses to which they relate and have no effect on the application of other provisions of the General Terms and Conditions.

2. Our website
2.1 Proper functioning, security, and accessibility
You can rest assured, we offer a user-friendly website that is safe for every User. We, therefore, take all reasonable measures necessary to guarantee the proper functioning, security, and accessibility of our website. However, we cannot give you absolute guarantees and our measures must be regarded as an obligation of means.
Any 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 to the website, regardless of the existence of an external cause or force majeure.
We have the right to restrict and/or interrupt in whole or in part access to our website at any time, without prior warning. In principle, we only do this if the circumstances justify this, 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 great care in this content. This means that we take the necessary measures to keep our website as complete, accurate, and current as possible, even when content is provided by third parties. The content on our website can always be changed, supplemented, or removed.
However, we cannot give any guarantees regarding the quality of the information on our website. Information may not be complete, sufficiently accurate, and/or useful. We are therefore 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 law and/or a violation of the rights of third parties and/or is simply unacceptable, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible so that we can take the appropriate measures. For example, we can proceed to a partial or complete removal and/or modification of the content.
Our website contains content that can be downloaded. Any download from our website is always at your own risk. We are not liable for this and damage as a result of a loss of data or damage to the computer system is entirely and exclusively the responsibility of the User.
Specifically for prices and other information about products on the website, there is a reservation of apparent programming and typing errors. The User cannot claim an agreement with Vermeulen 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.
It is therefore not permitted to use our website for the distribution of 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 distribution of unsolicited and/or commercial messages via the website, such as junk mail, spamming, and chain letters.
We reserve the right to take all necessary actions that may result in recovery for us and for our Users, both judicially and extrajudicially. The User is solely personally and integrally responsible if his actions and behavior effectively cause damage to the website and the other Users. In that case, he must indemnify Vermeulen against any claim for damages that follows.
3. Links to other websites
The content 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 connection 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 functioning of the link and its final destination. As soon as you click on the link, you leave our website and we can no longer be held liable for any damage.
Foreign websites may not offer the same guarantees as we do. We, therefore, recommend that you carefully read the General Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Statement of these websites.
4. Intellectual Property
Creativity deserves protection, as does our website and its content. The protection is provided by intellectual property rights and belongs to all entitled parties, being Vermeulen and third parties. By content, we mean the very broad category of photos, video, audio, text, ideas, notes, drawings, articles, et cetera. All this content is protected by copyright, software law, database law, drawing and 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 or trademark law.
Each User is granted a limited right to access, use and display our websites and their content. This granted right is non-exclusive, non-transferable, and can only be used within a personal, non-commercial setting. We, therefore, ask our Users not to use and/or make changes to the items protected by these rights, without the permission of the rightsholder. Vermeulen attaches great importance to its intellectual property rights and has taken all possible measures to guarantee protection. Any infringement of existing intellectual property rights will be prosecuted.
5. Processing personal data
The information you provide is necessary for processing and completing orders, and drawing up invoices and warranty contracts. A minimum of data is required for each order. Further information may be requested in the function of the personalization of the order. If the minimum information is missing, the order will inevitably be canceled. The Buyer's personal data will only be processed in accordance with the Privacy Statement, which can be consulted via our website.
6. General provisions regarding the General Terms and Conditions.
We reserve the freedom to change, expand, limit, or discontinue our website and the associated services at any time. This is possible without prior notification from the User and does not give rise to any form of compensation.
These General Terms and Conditions (including the Terms and Conditions of Sale) are exclusively governed and construed in accordance with Belgian Law. All disputes related to or arising from offers from Vermeulen, or agreements concluded with it, will be submitted to the competent court in the judicial district of Dendermonde.
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 other provisions of this agreement. In such a case, we have the right to change the relevant provision into a valid provision of a similar effect.
