Terms of Service

Last updated: 18 May 2026

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the sale and use of the digital template products and related materials ("Products") offered on readyaiact.com (the "Website"). The Website is operated by Verbeke Louis, acting as a Belgian sole proprietorship (student-onderneming), with enterprise number (KBO/CBE) 1037.679.373, registered at Holeindestraat 21, 9270 Laarne, Belgium, VAT number in application ("we", "us", "our"). You can reach us at louisverbeke@icloud.com.

By placing an order, ticking the acceptance box at cart, or using the Products, you ("you", "the Customer") agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use the Products.

2. Nature of the Products — important

The Products are informational document templates and frameworks intended to support businesses in preparing their own documentation in connection with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act) and related obligations. The Products are general in nature and are not tailored to your specific circumstances.

The Products are not legal advice, do not constitute legal, regulatory, compliance, or professional advice, and do not guarantee compliance with the EU AI Act or any other law, regulation, or standard. No result, outcome, certification, approval, or regulatory acceptance is promised or implied.

3. No professional or advisory relationship

The purchase or use of the Products does not create any lawyer-client, advisory, consultancy, fiduciary, or other professional relationship between you and us. We do not assess your situation, do not supervise your implementation, and are not responsible for how you adapt, complete, deploy, or rely on the Products.

4. Business customers only (B2B)

The Products are offered exclusively to businesses, professionals, and organisations acting for purposes relating to their trade, business, craft, or profession. By ordering, you represent and warrant that you are not a consumer and that you are purchasing solely for business or professional purposes. You acknowledge that consumer protection provisions, including statutory withdrawal rights, are not intended to apply to this sale. If, despite this, you are deemed a consumer, Section 9 applies as far as legally permitted.

5. Licence and intellectual property

All Products, including their structure, text, and design, are our intellectual property or licensed to us. Upon full payment, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use and adapt the Products solely for the internal documentation purposes of your own organisation.

You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, publish, share publicly, or make the Products (in original or modified form) available to any third party, nor use them to provide template or compliance products to others. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

6. Customer responsibilities

You are solely responsible for: (a) reviewing each Product in full; (b) adapting it to your specific organisation, activities, and risk profile; (c) having the completed documents reviewed and validated by qualified counsel familiar with your jurisdiction and sector before any use or reliance; and (d) determining whether the Products are suitable for your needs. You bear full responsibility for any decision taken or document deployed on the basis of the Products.

7. No warranty — "as is" and "as available"

To the maximum extent permitted by Belgian law, the Products are provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or that the Products will meet your requirements or any legal or regulatory standard. Legal and regulatory frameworks change; we do not warrant that the Products remain up to date.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Belgian law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Products, the Website, these Terms, or their subject matter, regardless of the legal basis (including contract, tort, or otherwise), shall not exceed the lower of: (a) the total amount actually paid by you for the specific Product giving rise to the claim; or (b) five hundred euro (€500).

To the maximum extent permitted by Belgian law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, nor for any of the following, whether direct or indirect: loss of profit, revenue, turnover, business, opportunity, goodwill, or anticipated savings; administrative fines, regulatory penalties, sanctions, or enforcement measures; costs of legal defence, audit, remediation, or compliance; loss, corruption, or inaccessibility of data; or third-party claims.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where and to the extent such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by Belgian law, including liability for fraud or for our own intentional or gross fault. The limitations in this Section survive and apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.

9. Refunds and pre-order policy

The Products are digital. Certain Products are offered on a pre-order basis with delivery scheduled for 22 June 2026.

• Before delivery: pre-orders may be cancelled and fully refunded at any time up to the moment the Product is delivered (made available for download or sent by email).
• After delivery: because the Products are digital content supplied not on a tangible medium, no refunds are provided once delivery/download has started, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

You expressly request that performance and delivery of the digital Products begin and you acknowledge that, in accordance with Article VI.53, 13° of the Belgian Code of Economic Law, any right of withdrawal for digital content not supplied on a tangible medium is lost once performance has begun. As the Products are sold B2B (Section 4), statutory consumer withdrawal rights are in any event not intended to apply.

10. Pricing, taxes, and payment

Prices are stated in euro (EUR) and are exclusive of any applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Payment is processed by Shopify and its payment processors; we do not store full payment card data. Orders are accepted only upon successful payment.

11. Delivery

Digital Products are delivered electronically (download link or email) on or around the stated delivery or pre-order date. Estimated dates are indicative and not of the essence; reasonable delays do not give rise to liability or to a right of cancellation after delivery has begun.

12. No third-party beneficiaries

These Terms are concluded solely between you and us. They do not create any right or benefit enforceable by any third party.

13. Force majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including outages of hosting or payment providers, technical failures, or measures imposed by authorities.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from or connected with them are governed exclusively by Belgian law. Any dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ghent (ondernemingsrechtbank Gent, afdeling Gent), without prejudice to any mandatory legal provision designating another competent court.

15. Survival

Sections 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, and 16, and any provision that by its nature should survive, remain in effect after termination, expiry, or completion of any order.

16. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be limited or replaced to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any policies referenced at checkout, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Products and supersede any prior understanding. We may update these Terms; the version in force at the time of your order applies to that order.
