The general terms of use

Use of the site implies acceptance of the general terms of use (GTU). The GTU are deemed to have been read by and to be applicable and enforceable against the user from the date of their first use of the site. Users may stop using the site at any time, but remain responsible for any previous use.

The Mouvement Réformateur may unilaterally amend these GTU at any time, in particular to bring them into line with legislative or regulatory changes, or to adapt them in the event of changes to the services and content offered on the site.

Users should consult the GTU regularly to stay informed of any changes. The amended version of the general terms of use will be available at the following address: https://www.mr.be/mentions-legales.

Accessibility of the site

The site is freely and free of charge accessible anywhere to any visitor with internet access.

Obligations of users

Users undertake to use the site only under the conditions set out in the GTU and therefore:

not to divert the content for personal or advertising purposes;
not to access and/or remain in the site fraudulently, the site being understood as an automated data processing system. Any fraudulent access to or presence in the site is prohibited and punishable by law. The same applies to any obstruction or impairment of the operation of the site, or to the introduction, deletion or modification of the data it contains;
not to disrupt the proper functioning of the site, in particular by introducing viruses.

Content published on the site by users and/or members must not, in particular:

Be insulting, defamatory, racist, xenophobic, revisionist, paedophile, pornographic or homophobic, damage the honour or reputation of others, incite discrimination or hatred towards a person or group of persons on the grounds of their origin or their membership or non-membership of a given ethnic group, nation, race or religion, or threaten a person or group of persons;

The Mouvement Réformateur reserves the right to refuse any user content posted online, without having to justify this to users. User content may also be deleted or modified by the Mouvement Réformateur at any time and for any reason.

Consequently, users indemnify the Mouvement Réformateur against any action, legal proceedings, complaint, claim or objection from any person invoking an intellectual property right, an act of unfair and/or parasitic competition and/or an invasion of privacy that is directly or indirectly linked to the publication of content by a user.

Intellectual property rights

With the exception of user content and third-party content accessible on the site, all other content available on the site, such as trademarks, drawings, models, images, texts, photographs, logos, graphic charters, software and programs, databases, sounds, videos, domain names, design or any other element making up the site, is the exclusive property of the Mouvement Réformateur. This content is protected by copyright, trademark law and all other intellectual property rights held by the Mouvement Réformateur or its licensors.

These GTU do not entail any transfer whatsoever to the visitor of intellectual property rights over content belonging to the Mouvement Réformateur.

Any reproduction and/or representation, in whole or in part, without the express prior authorisation of the Mouvement Réformateur, of content over which it holds intellectual property rights is prohibited and would constitute an infringement.

Consequently, users shall refrain from any conduct or act likely to infringe, directly or indirectly, the intellectual property rights of the Mouvement Réformateur.

Exclusion of warranties

The Mouvement Réformateur cannot guarantee users that:

use of the site will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free;
the information accessed by the visitor is accurate or reliable.

Security and confidentiality

The Mouvement Réformateur cannot provide an absolute guarantee of the security and confidentiality of the data transmitted. However, the Mouvement Réformateur undertakes to implement all necessary means to ensure the best possible security and confidentiality of data.

Visitors are aware that data circulating on the internet is not necessarily protected, in particular against possible misuse.

Visitors agree to take all appropriate measures to protect their own content and data from contamination by any intrusions, viruses or malware on the internet.

Visitors declare that they are aware of and accept the characteristics and limitations of the internet, the nature of the internet network and, in particular, the response times for consulting, querying or transferring data.

Visitors undertake to inform the Mouvement Réformateur of any malfunction of the site of which they become aware.

Hyperlinks

The site contains hyperlinks giving access to third-party websites.

The sites accessed by users via hyperlinks do not belong to the Mouvement Réformateur.

The Mouvement Réformateur is not responsible for the content published on these third-party sites following activation of the hyperlink, nor for the privacy policy of those sites. Visitors may not hold the Mouvement Réformateur liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising from the activation of hyperlinks.

Miscellaneous provisions

If one or more of the terms of these general terms are deemed or declared void pursuant to a law, a regulation or a decision of a competent court that has become final, the remaining terms shall remain valid and applicable.

Belgian law applies to these general terms, regardless of where the parties' obligations are performed.
