   Please read these terms of use (these "terms") carefully. They are a contract between you and Georgia-Pacific Services S.N.C. ("GP") with its principal place of business at the location identified above and in paragraph 15 below. GP is sometimes referred to in these terms as "us", "our", or "we". These terms apply to your use of this website and any content, materials, features, functionality, and services available on this website (collectively, the "services"). Unless expressly stated otherwise, they do not apply to those services that have their own terms of use.

   To use the services, you must first agree to these terms. You may not use the services if you do not accept these terms. You acknowledge that these terms are supported by reasonable and valuable consideration, which includes your use and enjoyment of the services, and our review, use, or display of any content or materials you share with us. Because you are able to start and stop using the services at any time, you agree that we can treat your use as your acceptance of these terms and your agreement to follow them without any reflection period.

   You understand and agree that no customer service or support is provided in connection with the services.

   If at any time you withdraw your consent as described in these terms, you must immediately stop using the services.

   You may not use any of our trade names, trade marks, service marks, logos, domain names, or other distinctive brand features (collectively, the "marks") without our express written permission. If we choose to grant you additional rights to the marks, you agree not to remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary rights noticed contained or affixed to the marks, or use the marks in a way that is likely to or intended to cause confusion about the owner or authorized user of the marks.

   We retain all right, title, and interest in the services and the marks not expressly granted to you under these terms, including any and all intellectual property rights. We will aggressively enforce our intellectual property rights, including by civil and criminal proceedings.

12. Limitation of Liability.

    Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for loss or damage in certain cases - for example in the case of fraudulent misrepresentations, willful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury or death, or consequential damages. Nothing in these terms will exclude or limit our liability which may not be lawfully excluded or limited by applicable law. Accordingly, only the limitations which are lawful in your jurisdiction will apply to you and our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

    You expressly understand and agree that neither GP nor its affiliates and licensors will be liable to you for:

14. Contracting Entity, Applicable Law, and Jurisdiction

    These terms are a contract between you and Georgia-Pacific Services S.N.C. with its principal place of business at:

    Drève Richelle 167
    1410 Waterloo
    Belgium

    Unless expressly stated otherwise, the services are intended to promote products and services in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Any portion of these terms that is contrary to or not permitted under applicable local law shall not apply.

    Unless applicable law requires otherwise, these terms and the interpretation of these terms shall be governed by the laws of Belgium, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. You and GP irrevocably agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of BELGIUM for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that GP may apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

15. General.

    These terms, accepted by you upon use of the services and further affirmed by registering for an account or providing any materials to or through the services, are the whole legal contract between you and GP and completely replace any prior agreements between you and GP in relation to the services.

    You and GP agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these terms is invalid as written, then that part will be replaced with a provision that most closely matches the intent of the invalid part to the extent permitted by law. The invalidity of part of these terms will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

    You agree that our failure to exercise or enforce any particular right or remedy to which we are entitled under these terms or under any applicable law shall not be a waiver of such rights, and that such rights will still be available to us.

    Without limiting any other rights and remedies available to us, we reserve the right to end your access to our websites or block your future access to the services at any time and for any reason or terminate this site or any part thereof without cause or liability of any kind.
