General terms and conditions
I. Announcement, acceptance and changes to the General terms and
conditions
Project requests submitted via the following link http://orange.be/sponsoring (hereinafter referred to as “the Sponsoring tool”) are processed by Orange Belgium nv, established at Bourgetlaan 3, B-1140 Brussels and registered in the CBE with number 0456.810.810 (hereinafter referred to as “Orange”).
The announcement of the General terms and conditions for the use of the Sponsoring tool (hereinafter referred to as “the General terms and conditions”) is made via the Sponsoring tool. Unless otherwise indicated, all additional notifications and communication by, or on behalf of, Orange are part of the General terms and conditions.
By using the Sponsoring tool or submitting a project request, you accept the General terms and conditions and all decisions Orange makes based on this. Please do not continue using or consulting the Sponsoring tool if you do not wish to accept the General terms and conditions.
Orange is entitled to unilaterally change the General terms and conditions or the Sponsoring tool at any moment. Consult the Sponsoring tool regularly to be certain you are working with the last applicable version.
II. Who is allowed to submit a project request?
Use of the Sponsoring tool is open to any legal entity or natural person in principle, in so far he/she is of age. However, certain projects are specifically reserved for non-profit organisations and/or NGOs or subjected to special conditions.
In case of non-observance of certain conditions or in case of fraud, bad faith, or misuse, Orange reserves the right to exclude certain natural persons or legal entities from the project request procedure.
Orange does not accept project requests of religious or political associations and reserves the right to refuse project requests or participations whose values do not correspond with Orange's values or other aspects of Orange's policy, without Orange having to explain itself. Associations or people that were initially accepted but on closer scrutiny do not meet all the conditions, automatically lose their right to participate in the project request, without possibility of appeal or any right to damages.
III. Procedure
To submit a project request simply fill out the request form on the Sponsoring tool and click “Validate and send”. Only correctly and completely filled out entry forms are valid and will be processed by Orange. Orange will process your request as quickly as possible.
Use of the Sponsoring tool is free. However, you are personally responsible for all other costs incurred following the submission or participation of a request or project (e.g. administrative costs, costs for internet connection, etc.), and you cannot claim any refund or contribution in these costs from Orange.
IV. Intellectual property rights
