MDM Belgium Forum

Terms

Last updated: 6 November 2026.

These terms apply to your use of MDM Belgium Forum, which is run by MDM Inc. They set out what you can expect from the site, what we expect from you and what happens to anything you submit. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. How we handle personal data is covered separately in our privacy policy.

Using the site

The site is free to read and needs no account. You may read it, share links to it and quote short passages with a link back to the page, for your own information or for discussion.

You must not use the site in any way that harms it or its visitors. In particular, you must not:

  • break or try to get around its security, its vote limits or its moderation;
  • send automated requests in a way that puts a heavy load on the site or disrupts it;
  • copy substantial parts of the site to republish them elsewhere;
  • use the site for anything illegal, or to mislead, harass or harm other people.

We may limit or block access for anyone who does not respect these terms.

Information only, not professional advice

Everything on MDM Belgium Forum is general information. It is not medical, legal, financial, tax or any other professional advice, and it does not take your personal situation into account. Reading a page does not create any professional or advisory relationship between you and us.

Content on this site can be incomplete, out of date or wrong. Posts express points of view that may be mistaken, and an accepted answer is only the reply shown as the best response to the question; it is no guarantee that the reply is correct or that it applies to you. Facts change after a page is published, including prices, rules, deadlines and the availability of services.

You are responsible for how you use what you read. Before you act on anything important, check it with an official source or a qualified professional. In an emergency, contact the emergency services and do not rely on this site.

Content from other sources

Threads rely on public sources, and pages link to them. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, their accuracy, their availability or their privacy practices. A link does not mean that we endorse a site.

The site names brands, organisations, products, places and services to identify what a question is about. Those names and trademarks belong to their owners. Unless a page clearly says otherwise, we are not connected with them, and they have not reviewed or approved what appears here.

Submitting an answer

You may submit an answer through the form at the bottom of a thread. Your answer is reviewed before it appears. We may refuse it, shorten it, correct an obvious error in it or remove it later, and we do not have to publish it or give a reason. Publication does not mean that we agree with it or have checked that it is accurate.

When you submit an answer, you confirm that:

  • you wrote it yourself, or you have the right to post it;
  • it is accurate as far as you know and is written in good faith;
  • it does not infringe anyone's rights, including copyright, trademarks and privacy;
  • it complies with the law and with these terms.

You must not submit content that is:

  • illegal, hateful, threatening, harassing or defamatory;
  • sexually explicit, or harmful to children;
  • advertising, promotion, affiliate links or other commercial messages;
  • spam, repeated, off topic or deliberately misleading;
  • personal details of yourself or of anyone else, such as addresses, phone numbers or identity documents;
  • an impersonation of another person or organisation;
  • dangerous instructions, or advice that could seriously harm someone who follows it;
  • malicious software, or links to it.

Rights to what you submit

You keep ownership of what you write. By submitting an answer, you give MDM Inc a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to publish, store, reproduce, adapt for formatting, translate and display it on MDM Belgium Forum and in anything connected with running the site, for as long as it remains on the site and afterwards in routine backups. You also agree that it may appear with the username you chose.

You can ask us to remove an answer you posted through the contact page. Please give the address of the page and the username you used, so that we can find it. Copies may remain in backups for a short time, and in other places, such as search engine caches, that we do not control.

Votes and polls

Vote counts and poll results are a rough signal, not scientific or representative surveys. Counts may include starting values and may be adjusted to remove abuse. Please do not try to vote more than once on the same reply or poll or otherwise manipulate the results.

Intellectual property

The site's design, its layout and the original text on its pages are protected by copyright and other rights, and they belong to MDM Inc or to the people who have licensed them. Apart from the uses allowed above, you need our written permission to reproduce them.

Images come from public sources and are credited with a link to the page they came from; rights in them stay with their owners. If you believe that something on this site infringes your rights, write to us through the contact page. Please include the address of the page, the content concerned, the rights you hold and how we can reach you. We will review your request and remove the content where appropriate.

Reporting a problem

If you find content that you believe is illegal, harmful or wrong, please tell us through the contact page, with the address of the page and an explanation of the problem. We look at reports in good faith, as promptly as we can, and we may remove or change content as a result. Reports that are made in bad faith may be ignored.

Availability and changes to the site

We provide the site as it is and as available. We may change, suspend or remove any part of it at any time, including pages, categories and features, and we do not promise that it will always be available, free of errors or free of harmful code. Votes, polls or submitted answers may be delayed or lost for technical reasons.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, MDM Inc is not liable for any loss or damage that results from your use of the site, from your reliance on its content, from content submitted by others, from linked websites or from the site being unavailable. This includes indirect loss, loss of profit, loss of data and loss of opportunity.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or for gross negligence. Nothing in them affects the rights you have as a consumer under the mandatory law of the country where you live.

You agree to bear responsibility for any claim made against us because of content you submitted in breach of these terms, to the extent the law allows.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the country where MDM Inc is established, without affecting the mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live. If a dispute arises, please contact us first: most problems can be solved quickly that way. If this does not settle it, the competent courts under the applicable law will decide.

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, the rest continues to apply. If we do not enforce a right at some point, we have not given it up.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the site or the law changes. The current version is always on this page, with its date at the top. Changes apply from the date shown, and they do not affect answers submitted before it in a way that reduces your rights. If you continue to use the site after a change, you accept the new terms.

For any question about these terms, please use the contact page. You can read more about how the site works on the about page.
