Our website
2.1 Proper operation, security and accessibility
You can count on us to provide a user-friendly website that is safe for every User. We take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure the proper operation, security and accessibility of our website. However, we cannot give you absolute guarantees and our measures must be considered as obligations of means.
Any use of the website is always at your own risk. This means that we are not liable for damage arising from malfunctions, interruptions, harmful elements or defects in the website, regardless of the existence of an external cause or force majeure.
We reserve the right to limit access to our website at any time and/or to interrupt it in whole or in part, without prior notice. In principle, we only do this if the circumstances justify it, 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 the utmost care with this content. This means that we take the necessary measures to keep our website as complete, accurate and up-to-date as possible, even when content is provided by third parties. The content on our website may be changed, supplemented or deleted at any time.
However, we cannot provide any guarantees regarding the quality of the information on our website. It is possible that information is not complete, sufficiently accurate and/or useful. We are therefore not liable for (direct or indirect) damage suffered by the User as a result of the information on our website.
If certain content on our website constitutes a violation of applicable legislation and/or a violation of the rights of third parties and/or is simply unacceptable, we ask you to notify us as soon as possible so that we can take appropriate measures. For example, we may partially or completely remove and/or adjust 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 resulting from 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, a reservation for obvious programming and typographical errors applies. The User cannot claim an agreement with Pitts 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 acts that may 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 to distribute content that may harm other Users of the website, such as the distribution of harmful software such as computer viruses, malware, worms, trojans and cancelbots. The distribution of unsolicited and/or commercial messages via the website, such as junk mail, spamming and chain letters, is also included here.
We reserve the right to take all necessary measures that can provide remedy for us and for our Users, both judicially and extrajudicially. The User is solely and fully personally responsible if his actions and behavior effectively cause damage to the website and the other Users. In that case, he must indemnify Pitts against any damage claim that follows.
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 have no control over these foreign websites and are not responsible for the safe and correct operation of the link and the final destination. As soon as you click on the link, you leave our website and we cannot be held liable for any damage.
It is possible that foreign websites do 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.
Intellectual property
Creativity deserves protection, and so do our website and its content. Protection is provided by intellectual property rights and belongs to all rights holders, namely Pitts and third parties. Content includes the very broad category of photos, video, audio, text, ideas, notes, drawings, articles, etc. All this content is protected by copyright, software rights, database rights, design and model rights and other applicable (intellectual) property rights. The technical nature of our website itself is protected by copyright, software rights and database rights. Every trade name that we use on our websites is also protected by the applicable trade name law or trademark law.
Every User is granted a limited right of access, use and display of our websites and their content. This granted right is non-exclusive, non-transferable and may only be used within a personal, non-commercial context. We therefore ask our Users not to use and/or make changes to matters protected by these rights without the permission of the rights holder. Pitts 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.
Processing of personal data
The information you provide is necessary for processing and completing orders, and for preparing invoices and warranty contracts. A minimum amount of data is required for each order. Further data may be requested depending on the personalization of the order. If the minimum data is missing, the order will inevitably be cancelled. The personal data of the Buyer will be processed exclusively in accordance with the Privacy Statement available on our website.
General provisions regarding the General Terms and Conditions
We reserve the freedom to modify, expand, limit or discontinue our website and accompanying services at any time. This can be done without prior notice to the User and does not entitle the User to any form of compensation.
These General Terms and Conditions (including the Terms of Sale) are governed exclusively by and interpreted in accordance with Belgian law.
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 replace the relevant provision with a valid provision of similar intent.
