Responsibilization 

As a preventative measure, Freedom-Impex, advocates responsible consumption on the part of:

• Exhibitors:

To ensure that every brand can be enjoyed as optimally as it might, we should like to, inasmuch as possible, limit the number of tastings per brand.

• The public:

Every visitor should be able to fully enjoy the event and to taste the products on offer in a responsible manner.
Every stand will have a number of spittoons. Patrons will not be offered more than 2cl per tasting. Whiskies will be presented in glasses that transcend all the senses of the tasting.

Nominal and personal data

Clients hereby agree and are aware of the fact that the Internet is not a fully secure information medium and that it is therefore impossible to furnish a cast-iron guarantee in terms of Clients’ privacy, save in respect of the secure parts of the Website which shall be duly identified as such.

Freedom-Impex invariably adheres to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 8 December 1992 governing the processing of personal data, as amended.

Only personal data Clients have furnished voluntarily shall be registered and stored in the Freedom-Impex files and used to promote Freedom-Impex. Freedom-Impex shall offer its Clients, when registering, making a booking or within the framework of any other specific transactions, the option of subscribing to its newsletter, of receiving promotional offers, and/or of being notified of any upcoming "Promotions".

Without prejudice to the above, Freedom-Impex does not register any data unbeknownst to its Clients, does not disclose its Clients’ data to third parties and does not use its Clients’ data for commercial purposes.

Users may at any moment in time consult their own personal data Freedom-Impex keeps on file and ask to have these data corrected or deleted by contacting the company at the above address.

Completeness of the Terms and Conditions

Any legislative or regulatory changes or court rulings rendering one or several clauses of the present Terms and Conditions null and void shall not in any way affect the validity of the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale. Changes or statements to that effect shall on no account entitle the Client not to adhere to the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Any condition that has not been explicitly provided for shall be deemed to be governed by the customs prevailing in the e-commerce sector companies with a registered office in Belgium are operating in.

Duration and applicability
