These General Terms and Conditions of Use (the “Terms of Use”) govern only access to the Website, its consultation and the use of its content. They do not constitute general terms and conditions of sale or an event production services agreement.
Any assignment entrusted to LD PRODUCTIONS is governed, as applicable, by an offer, quotation, specific terms and conditions, service agreement or separate general terms and conditions of sale.

Article 3 - Purpose and Scope
The Terms of Use determine the conditions under which the User may access the Website, consult the Content and use the features actually available. They apply to each visit to the Website, subject to the mandatory rules applicable to the User.
The Terms of Use are supplemented, depending on their purpose, by the Legal Notice, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and any specific rule displayed when using a feature. In the event of any conflict, the specific rule shall prevail solely for the feature it governs, without prejudice to mandatory provisions.
The Website currently does not allow users to order a service, make a payment or create a personal account. The contact form only allows users to submit a request for information or an initial contact. Sending a message by email, telephone or contact form, or presenting a need, does not in itself create a contract with the Company.
Article 4 - Acceptance, Enforceability and Amendment of the Terms of Use
4.1 Review and Acceptance
The Terms of Use are accessible at any time from the Website. Users are invited to read them before using the Website. Continuing to browse after the Terms of Use have been brought to the User’s attention constitutes acceptance. Where a feature requires express acceptance, such acceptance shall be obtained before its use.
4.2 Legal Capacity
The User declares that they have the legal capacity required to accept the Terms of Use or, failing that, that they are acting with the authorisation of their legal representative. Where a person uses the Website on behalf of a legal entity, they declare that they are authorised to bind that entity within the scope of the acts performed.
4.3 Amendment
The Company may amend these Terms of Use at any time, in particular to take account of changes to the Website, its features, its organisation or applicable regulations. The applicable version is the version in force and accessible on the Website on the date of use, without retroactive effect. Where the nature of an amendment so requires, the Company may inform the User by any appropriate means.
An amendment to the Terms of Use does not affect the rights and obligations arising from a service agreement already entered into, which shall remain governed by its own contractual documents, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or required by mandatory law.
Article 5 - Access to the Website and Technical Conditions
Access to the Website is free of charge, subject to interruptions necessary for its operation. The User must have compatible equipment, an up-to-date browser and an internet connection. The User is responsible for the costs, configuration, maintenance and security of their equipment and connection.
The Company may temporarily restrict access to all or part of the Website where a measure is reasonably necessary to ensure its maintenance, security, compliance, protection of the Content or continuity of its operation.
Article 6 - Availability, Changes and Maintenance
The Company uses reasonable means to keep the Website accessible and secure. However, it does not guarantee permanent availability or the absence of any defect, slowdown or interruption.
The Website may be suspended or degraded due to maintenance, an update, a correction, a security incident, a failure of the network or a technical service provider, a decision by an authority or any event reasonably beyond the Company’s control. The Company shall endeavour, to the extent of its means, to limit the duration and effects of such events.
The Company may modify the architecture, presentation, Content or features of the Website. Nothing in the Terms of Use requires it to keep any particular content, reference, photograph, video or feature online.
Article 7 - Nature and Scope of Information
The information accessible on the Website presents the activities, references and expertise of LD PRODUCTIONS. It is primarily intended for institutional and informational purposes. Unless expressly stated otherwise, it does not constitute a firm offer, quotation or guarantee of availability, price, feasibility or outcome for a future project.
The Company takes reasonable care in presenting information and credits. However, these may change, be supplemented or corrected. Any User intending to base a professional decision on information from the Website should request confirmation from the Company.
References to clients, houses, partners, venues or past projects describe specific completed projects. They do not imply any ongoing relationship, recommendation or general endorsement of LD PRODUCTIONS by the persons or entities mentioned.
Article 8 - User Obligations
The User undertakes to use the Website fairly, lawfully and in accordance with its intended purpose.
The User is specifically prohibited from:
- attempting to gain unauthorised access to a server, database, administration interface or non-public part of the Website.
- introducing or transmitting a virus, malicious code, script or any device likely to alter, disrupt or overload the Website.
- circumventing a security measure, technical limitation, ownership notice, credit or device intended to protect the Content.
- carrying out automated or systematic collection, extraction or downloading of Content, in particular by means of a robot, software agent or bulk capture tool.
- using the Website or Content to impersonate the Company or a third party, create confusion, commit fraud, infringe rights or disseminate unlawful content.
- presenting a project completed by LD PRODUCTIONS as their own or giving the impression of a collaboration, partnership, mandate or authorisation that does not exist.
In the event of clearly unlawful, fraudulent or dangerous use of the Website or third-party rights, the Company may take any proportionate measure, including restricting the relevant access, preserving elements necessary as evidence and referring the matter to the competent authority where permitted or required by law.
Article 9 - Intellectual Property in the Website
9.1 Ownership
The Website and the Content are protected by intellectual property rights, database rights, trademark rights, design rights, unfair competition law and, more generally, by the applicable rules.
They belong to the Company, creators, photographers, partners or other rights holders who have authorised their use. The Terms of Use do not transfer any intellectual property rights to the User.
9.2 Limited Right of Use
Subject to compliance with the Terms of Use, the Company authorises the User to consult the Website and its Content for personal purposes or for the internal needs of their professional activity. This authorisation is non-exclusive, non-transferable and limited to the duration of lawful access to the Website.
Unless the prior written authorisation of the Company or the relevant rights holder has been obtained, as applicable, or unless an exception is provided by law, it is prohibited to:
reproduce publicly display, perform, communicate to the public, publish, disseminate, distribute, sell, rent, lend, adapt, translate, modify or exploit all or part of the Website or the Content;
download or retain photographs, videos, fact sheets, catalogues or other Content other than for a use expressly offered by the Website;
remove or alter a trademark, credit, ownership notice, watermark, authentication device or traceability information;
extract or re-utilise all or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of a database of the Website;
carry out the extraction or repeated and systematic reuse of insubstantial parts where such operations exceed normal use of the Website;
use Content to train, test, evaluate, feed or enrich an artificial intelligence model, generative system, database, visual recommendation engine or competing service.
9.3 Reservation of Rights for Text and Data Mining
Subject to exceptions that cannot be waived, the Company expressly objects to any digital copying or reproduction of the Content for the purposes of text and data mining, as well as to any corresponding extraction or reuse of the Website’s databases.
This objection notably covers operations intended for the training, pre-training, fine-tuning, evaluation or feeding of artificial intelligence systems. It does not prevent the limited indexing of public pages by a general search engine solely for the purpose of indexing the Website, where the search engine complies with the machine-readable instructions implemented by the Company and does not use the Content for other purposes.
9.4 Distinctive Signs
Trade names, trademarks, logos, domain names, collection names, signatures and other distinctive signs used on the Website may not be used without authorisation.
Article 10 - Projects Presented, Third-Party Content and Image Rights
The selection of projects may include projects carried out for clients or with partners and may contain Third-Party Content. Their presence on the Website does not mean that the Company owns all rights in them or that it may authorise their reuse. Third-party trademarks, logos, creations and other distinctive signs remain the property of their respective owners.
The credits appearing on project pages identify, where available, certain authors or contributors. The User must retain them in any authorised lawful use and respect moral rights as well as the conditions imposed by the rights holders.
Recognisable persons appearing in photographs or videos retain the rights attached to their image and privacy. Consultation of the Website does not authorise any reuse of their image.
Any person who believes that Content infringes their rights may write to info@ld.productions, precisely identifying the Content concerned, its location on the Website, the right invoked and any useful supporting documentation. The Company will examine the request and, where appropriate, take a proportionate measure.
Article 11 - External Links and Social Media
The Website contains links to third-party services, including LinkedIn and Instagram. These services are operated under the responsibility of their publishers and in accordance with their own terms, privacy policies and cookie rules.
The Company does not continuously control the content, availability, security or practices of third-party websites. It is not responsible for their acts or omissions, subject to any fault directly attributable to it and to applicable mandatory provisions.
Creating a link to the Website is permitted where it is fair, not misleading, does not alter the presentation of the Website, does not suggest any non-existent partnership or endorsement and does not appear in an unlawful environment or one that infringes the rights or reputation of the Company or a third party. The Company may request the removal of any link that does not comply with these conditions.
Article 12 - Contact and Communications
The User may contact LD PRODUCTIONS using the email and telephone links displayed on the Website and, where made available, the contact form provided on the Website. The User must provide information that is accurate, relevant and proportionate to their request. Where a contact form is made available, it only allows a request to be sent to the Company. The Company is under no obligation to respond, examine the project, submit a proposal, quotation or offer, or accept an assignment. This provision is without prejudice to any legal obligations to process or respond, in particular to requests relating to personal data and claims concerning third-party rights. No confidentiality obligation arises solely from receipt of a message, unless otherwise agreed in writing in advance by the Company.
The User must not transmit sensitive data, trade secrets, strictly confidential documents or data relating to a third party that is not necessary for the initial review of their request. The User is responsible for requesting, before any transmission, an appropriate channel or entering into a confidentiality agreement where the nature of the project so justifies.
The User warrants that they have the necessary rights and authorisations in respect of the elements they communicate. Where a feature allows attachments to be submitted, the User undertakes not to transmit a file containing a virus, malicious code or unlawful content, or content likely to infringe the rights of a third party.
Article 13 - Personal Data
The Company may process personal data in connection with access to the Website, its security and communications sent to LD PRODUCTIONS, including through a contact form where one is made available. The purposes, legal bases, categories of data, recipients, retention periods, possible transfers and rights of data subjects are set out in the Privacy Policy accessible on the Website via the following link: insert the URL of the Privacy Policy before publication.
Requests relating to personal data may be sent to info@ld.productions or to the Company’s registered office. Any data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority, under the conditions provided for by applicable regulations.
Article 14 - Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may, in particular in the event of changes, use cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary for the transmission of communications, security or the provision of a feature expressly requested by the User. These technologies must be the subject of clear information, even where they are exempt from consent.
No non-strictly necessary cookie or tracker may be placed or read before the User has received the required information and validly consented, except where provided otherwise by law. Refusal of a non-essential tracker must not prevent access to features that do not depend on it.
The relevant information is set out in the Privacy Policy accessible on the Website via the following link: insert the URL of the Privacy Policy before publication.
Article 15 - Security
The Company implements reasonable technical and organisational measures having regard to the nature of the Website and the risks identified. However, no system connected to the internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure.
The User must protect their equipment, browser, connection and data. The User must not exploit a vulnerability or publicly disclose details thereof before allowing the Company a reasonable period to examine it and, if necessary, correct it. Any incident or vulnerability may be reported to info@ld.productions.
Article 16 - Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall be liable for direct and foreseeable damage resulting from a proven breach attributable to it in the operation of the Website.
The Company shall not be liable for damage resulting from:
- use of the Website or Content contrary to the Terms of Use, the law or their informative purpose.
- a decision made by the User solely on the basis of general information on the Website without requesting confirmation where this was reasonably necessary.
- content, service or policy relating to a third party accessible through an external link.
- equipment, browser, connection, software or settings under the User’s responsibility.
- an interruption or incident reasonably beyond the Company’s control, subject to the measures it was required to take to prevent or limit the damage.
With regard to a Professional User and to the extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be required to compensate for loss of profit, turnover, opportunity, customers, reputation or data where such losses do not constitute the direct and foreseeable consequence of the breach attributed to it.
Nothing in the Terms of Use is intended or has the effect of excluding or limiting liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, in particular in the event of fraud or intentional misconduct, harm to life or physical integrity, gross negligence where its exclusion is prohibited, or where a limitation would deprive an essential obligation of its substance.
Article 17 - Severability and No Waiver
If any provision of the Terms of Use is declared null, unlawful, unenforceable or inapplicable, it shall be disregarded only to the extent necessary. The remaining provisions shall remain applicable where their maintenance is legally possible.
The fact that the Company does not immediately exercise a right or does not react to a breach shall not constitute a waiver of its right to exercise that right or take action at a later date.
Article 18 - Language
The Terms of Use are drafted in French.
An English translation is provided in view of the current presentation of the Website and the international activities of LD PRODUCTIONS.
In the event of any discrepancy between the versions, the French version shall prevail, subject to the mandatory rules applicable to the User.
Article 19 - Complaints, Mediation and Disputes
Any complaint relating to the Website may be sent to info@ld.productions. The User and the Company shall endeavour to seek an amicable solution before initiating any proceedings, except in cases of urgency, interim measures, infringement of intellectual property rights, security incidents or circumstances making a prior step inappropriate.info@ld.productions

- boulevard du Roi Albert II 8, box 1, 1000 Brussels, Belgium
- email: contact@mediationconsommateur.becontact@mediationconsommateur.be
- website: https://mediationconsommateur.behttps://mediationconsommateur.be
Article 20 - Applicable Law and Competent Courts
The Terms of Use are governed by Belgian law. This choice does not deprive a consumer User of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of their country of habitual residence where these provisions apply to them.
In the absence of an amicable resolution, the competent courts shall be determined in accordance with the applicable mandatory rules.
In relations with a Professional User, and provided that this clause has been validly brought to their attention and accepted, the courts of the judicial district of Brussels shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to the validity, interpretation or performance of the Terms of Use or the use of the Website, subject to any contrary mandatory rule and the right to seek any interim or protective measure before a competent court.
