Document background
A Terms of Use Agreement is a fundamental legal document required for any business operating online services or digital platforms in Belgium. This agreement serves as the primary contract between the service provider and its users, establishing the rules, rights, and obligations for using the service. It must comply with Belgian national law, including the Code of Economic Law, as well as EU-wide regulations such as the GDPR, eCommerce Directive, and Consumer Rights Directive. The document should be used by any organization providing online services, websites, or digital platforms to users in Belgium, and must include specific provisions for data protection, consumer rights, electronic contracts, and dispute resolution under Belgian jurisdiction. The agreement should be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving Belgian and EU regulations.
