Terms of use
Congratulations!
You are using LAUNCH, which is a simple but excellent step forward in your career building or in your search for suitable talent.
Welcome!
1. General - scope
These are the general terms and conditions that apply to any use of
the platform
(website is accessible via www.launch.career and mobile applications) and the services under the
name of LAUNCH, which are offered by LAUNCH.CAREER BV, having its registered office at Antwerp
in
Vloeyenbergdreef 7, 2970 Schilde, registered in the CBE with company number BE 0752.653.682.
LAUNCH's terms of use are always and exclusively dedicated for its purpose.
The mission of LAUNCH is to bring students and young graduates into contact with the business
world and
the labor market in a free, fast, and efficient way and, conversely, to allow companies to
discover and recruit
suitable talent in a simple and cost-effective way.
Through their profile, students and young graduates are directly provided with suitable
internship and job opportunities,
while companies distribute their company information and vacancies digitally, immediately to the
right target group.
The mere fact of your use of the platform and the services offered by LAUNCH means that you
fully accept the general terms
and conditions of use; this gives you a number of rights, but you are also bound by a number of
obligations.
When creating an account, you will explicitly confirm this
acceptance, including our privacy policy. However,
LAUNCH may change, supplement or delete these terms and conditions at any time, e.g. in function
of changed services or legislation.
This will of course be done by posting these changes on its platform.
Please read these terms and conditions carefully and take into
account that with each (renewed) use,
you acknowledge to have read, understood, and approved these (possibly renewed) terms and
conditions.
If you do not agree with the (renewed) terms of use,
you should not create an account or close your account and no longer use LAUNCH.
2. Services and responsibilities of LAUNCH
LAUNCH makes all or part of its platform and services available to members, recruiters/companies
and visitors in order to achieve its goal and in accordance with these terms of use.
LAUNCH makes every effort to make its platform and services permanently available but can
interrupt access at any time and without prior warning due to technical or other reasons,
without responsibility for the consequences.
LAUNCH respects and protects everyone's privacy. LAUNCH takes appropriate organizational and
technical measures to ensure the security of personal data and its confidentiality, as further
detailed in its privacy policy, which forms an integral part of these terms of use.
LAUNCH makes every effort to keep its platform and services free from malicious software (bugs,
viruses, spyware, Trojans, etc.) but cannot fully guarantee its absence and accepts no liability
for any damage that may result to users , all of which are strongly recommended to install the
necessary security programs (antivirus programs, firewalls, etc.) on their hardware.
In certain sections, the platform may contain hyperlinks to websites or content managed by
recruiters/companies or by third parties. LAUNCH accepts no responsibility for the quality,
correctness or legality of this content or for the proper functioning of these websites. LAUNCH
cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from its use.
3. Members and their responsibilities
3.1 Becoming a member
Only as an account holder can you access or use certain possibilities, functions, parts or
elements of LAUNCH.
An account can be created with login information, i.e. an email address and a password. If you
have registered your account through an account with certain third-party social networking
services such as Facebook or Google, this account will serve as login information.
Only if you are an adult student or young graduate who wants to get in touch with the business
world and the labor market through LAUNCH in a free, fast and efficient way, you can create an
account by filling in the registration form on the website, by accepting the terms of use and
the privacy policy of LAUNCH, by clicking on "register" or a similar button.
From then on you will be considered a member by LAUNCH.
A member is therefore a registered user, in contrast to a visitor who does not create an account
but occasionally visits the freely accessible part of the LAUNCH platform.
3.2 Obligation to provide accurate information
As a member, you guarantee to LAUNCH that all information you enter in the application form
and/or post on the platform is completely accurate.
If LAUNCH can reasonably believe that the information provided by a member is misleading or
incorrect, LAUNCH has the right to delete this information and, if it deems necessary, to delete
the account of that member.
As a member, you are personally liable for any damage caused by the entry of incomplete,
incorrect or misleading data, and LAUNCH accepts no responsibility in this regard.
As a member, you agree that LAUNCH can access, store, process and use the data you provide in
accordance with the goal of LAUNCH and its privacy policy.
LAUNCH uses personal profile information and data of members to make recommendations to
interested recruiters/companies and to find matches with them.
If you keep your profile accurate, complete and up-to-date, these recommendations/matches will
become more accurate and relevant.
3.3 Personality of an account
An account must be created by an individual, natural and adult student or young graduate.
You can only create one account and it is strictly personal and non-transferable.
You are not allowed to create an account under the name of someone else unless that adult person
has given permission to do so.
As a member, you are personally responsible for any damage caused by creating multiple or
illegal accounts.
Each member is also responsible for anything that happens through his/her account, except after
removal or reporting of abuse.
3.4 Confidentiality of a member's account/password
As a member, you should provide a strong password and you are responsible for the
confidentiality of your password, which gives access to your account.
A member is not allowed under any circumstances to grant access to his/her account/password to
others.
3.5 Notices and messages
As a member, you agree that LAUNCH can make notifications or send you messages via the platform
in accordance with the goals of LAUNCH, e.g. for completion or updating of your profile
information.
3.6 Account deletion
You can always delete your own account yourself by following the steps indicated after clicking
on "delete account" in the "personal settings" section of the platform. LAUNCH will then
anonymize or delete all your data, in accordance with the legal regulations.
LAUNCH, for its part, also has the right to delete a member's account in case of use in
violation of the terms of use.
4. Use of the platform and services of LAUNCH by members
Use of LAUNCH by members is regular only if it falls exclusively within the goal of LAUNCH as
described under 1.
A member is thus prohibited, among other things, from using the platform:

recruiter/company or any other person or legal entity;
- in a manner that leads to damage to the good reputation of LAUNCH or the proper functioning of
its platform;
- for any other illegal purpose.
Each member is personally responsible for any damage caused by irregular use of LAUNCH, which
cannot be held against LAUNCH in any way.
5. Use of the platform and services of LAUNCH by Recruiters/Companies and their responsibilities
LAUNCH concludes agreements with companies/recruiters who want to make themselves known to
students and young graduates in order to display their business activities, their values and
visions, internships and employment opportunities and ultimately to recruit suitable talents.
The recruiters/companies will be able to post company information, invitations, offers etc. to
the platform, in accordance with the mission of LAUNCH and all relevant legal rules.
The recruiters/companies themselves are personally responsible for any damage caused by the
entry of incomplete, incorrect or misleading information/invitations. LAUNCH accepts no
responsibility in this regard.
In certain sections, the LAUNCH platform may provide hyperlinks to websites or content managed
by the recruiters/companies themselves, who are themselves responsible for the quality,
correctness or legality of this content or for the operation of these websites. LAUNCH accepts
no responsibility in case of damage.
Based on criteria provided by the recruiters/companies that must be in accordance with all
relevant legal regulations, LAUNCH can supply profiles (personal data) of members.
The recruiters/companies undertake to use these profiles only for the goal of LAUNCH and in
accordance with the terms of use and the privacy policy of LAUNCH and generally in compliance
with all legal provisions on privacy and data protection.

and gives no warranty of adequate quality or suitability for any particular purpose.
LAUNCH only makes the platform and services available and generally has no control over the

accepts no responsibility in this respect for any damage resulting from the use of the platform
or the services.
LAUNCH can only be held liable in case of fraud or gross negligence on the part of itself or one
of its employees. In that case, the responsibility of LAUNCH will be limited to the recovery of
foreseeable, direct, personal and certain damage suffered by the user, excluding the recovery of
indirect or intangible damage such as additional costs, loss of income or profit, loss of
customers, loss or damage of data, loss of contracts, damage to third parties, etc…..
LAUNCH cannot be held liable for damage resulting from the fact that the user does not fulfill
his obligations.
In all cases in which LAUNCH is held liable, its responsibility toward the user will be limited
to the total amounts paid by the user to LAUNCH during the twelve (12) months prior to the
origin of the damage.
8. Conflicts and governing law
If one or more provisions of these terms of use prove to be invalid, this will not affect the
validity of the other provisions.
In case of a conflict between a member or a recruiter/company and LAUNCH, an amicable solution
will always be sought first, if necessary through mediation.
If the dispute cannot be resolved in any other way, the courts of Antwerp have exclusive
jurisdiction to hear the conflict. Belgian law is applicable.
