1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the BEEShop website located at beeshop.app (the “Website”) and any related services (collectively, the “Service”), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, you must discontinue use of the Service immediately.

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the operator of BEEShop (the “Operator”), in accordance with Book XII of the Belgian Code of Economic Law (Code de droit économique) concerning the law of the electronic economy, and Directive 2000/31/EC on electronic commerce.

2. Description of Service

BEEShop is a free web application that enables users to create, organise, and reuse personal shopping lists backed by a reference catalogue of products and categories.

BEEShop is not:

  • An e-commerce platform — no purchases or transactions are facilitated
  • A price comparison service — no commercial prices are displayed
  • A commercial intermediary — no relationship is created between users and retailers
  • A payment processor — no financial transactions occur through the Service

The product catalogue is provided for reference purposes only and does not constitute a commercial offer within the meaning of Book VI of the Belgian Code of Economic Law.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Service, in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation) as implemented by the Belgian Law of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

4. Account Registration

To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information
  • Maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account

The Operator reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false or misleading information, or that violate these Terms of Use.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on the Website — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, software, and the arrangement thereof — is the property of the Operator or its licensors and is protected by Belgian and international intellectual property laws, including the Belgian Code of Economic Law (Book XI — Intellectual Property).

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or otherwise exploit any content from the Website without prior written consent, except for personal, non-commercial use such as viewing and printing individual pages for your own reference.

6. User-Generated Content

You retain full ownership of the content you create within the Service, including your shopping lists, custom items, and personal data. The Operator does not claim ownership of your content.

By using the Service, you grant the Operator a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing and maintaining the Service. This licence terminates when you delete your content or your account.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Violate any applicable law or regulation
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service, other accounts, or computer systems
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service, servers, or connected networks
  • Use automated systems (bots, crawlers, scrapers) to access the Service without prior written permission
  • Collect or harvest personal data of other users
  • Upload or transmit malicious code, viruses, or harmful content
  • Impersonate any person or entity
  • Use the Service for any commercial purpose not expressly authorised

Violation of these rules may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account, without prejudice to any other legal remedies available to the Operator.

8. Service Availability

The Operator strives to maintain the Service available at all times but does not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, or error-free access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond the Operator’s control.

The Operator shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from service interruptions, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence as defined under Belgian law (Article 5.89 of the Belgian Civil Code).

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Belgian law, the Operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

This limitation does not apply to damages caused by the Operator’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence, nor does it affect your statutory rights as a consumer under Book VI of the Belgian Code of Economic Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

10. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by the Operator. The Operator has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.

The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement or affiliation. You access third-party links entirely at your own risk, and we encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

11. Modifications to Terms

The Operator reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time. Changes will be published on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on the Website or via email to registered users.

Your continued use of the Service after the publication of modified terms constitutes acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with the modified terms, you must stop using the Service and may delete your account.

12. Account Termination

By you: You may delete your account at any time through your profile settings or by contacting us. Upon deletion, your personal data will be removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Where possible, the Operator will provide prior notice and an opportunity to remedy the breach, except in cases of serious violation requiring immediate action.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Belgium, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Belgium.

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you also benefit from the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings before the courts of your country of residence, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 (Brussels I bis).

You may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.
