USER AGREEMENT - TERMS OF USE

IWT-IRC’s aim is to promote international co-operation and technology transfer from and to Flanders. The Technology Transfer Market (TTM) is a partner search service offered by IWT-IRC and comprises a database with technology offers (TO) and requests (TR). Without prejudice to the legal protection of the website, the database is protected by the Belgian law on copyright and on databases. Registered users of the TTM can react to the TO and TR published on the website or submit a new TO or TR themselves. They also have the option to be automatically informed about TO or TR in their sectors of interest.

  • to cooperate fully to and to give feedback about the partner search service of IWT-IRC;
  • to follow up the contacts established through IWT-IRC, to inform IWT-IRC on a regular basis and in case of an agreement to confirm this in an IWT-IRC document
  • to take the appropriate measures to protect the know how concerned (secrecy, patent, trade mark, or any other intellectual right), to check the freedom to operate and to inform the recipient about it.
  • IWT-IRC engages to:

  • to follow up on the reactions of the user to TO or TR from the TTM and to provide the user with guiding advice during resulting negotiations;
  • eventually to assist the user in editing a TO or TR for distribution throughout Europe.
  • Both parties agree :

  • to treat all information received, which is explicitly labelled “Confidential”, with the all necessary care to avoid disclosure to any third party;
  • not to transfer the agreement between user and IWT-IRC to any third party. This obligation merely includes that the user will not impart any specific data nor addresses received from IWT-IRC to any third party, unless otherwise agreed. IWT-IRC reserves the right to communicate specific data of the partner search service to the financing authorities for reporting activities.
  • to motivate termination of any cooperation resulting from the partner search service;
  • that IWT-IRC only intervenes as a facilitator to establish international cooperation and that the user always assumes the full responsibility for all further information exchanged and the manner in which he treats it;
  • that IWT-IRC makes no guarantees or warranties as to the content or qualities of any third party services in relation or accessible through the partner search service.
  • that IWT-IRC makes no guarantee or warranty as to disturbances or interruptions of the Technology Transfer Market caused by technical defects, maintenance or installation work nor as to the change or disappearance of information as a result thereof. Security of information is a risk in the current information system, and IWT-IRC takes no responsibility of the security risks, like viruses, in the system.

  • I agree
