THIS IS AN IMPORTANT AND LEGALLY BINDING DOCUMENT. PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

If you do not agree to the Terms, then you do not have our permission to use the Beyönd Platform.
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to add, modify, or delete any part of these Terms at any time. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. If you have provided us with your email address, we will notify you of any changes that are materially adverse to you by email. We may also notify you of non-material changes in our sole discretion. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you must contact us within 30 day of the notice of the change to close your account.

1. General Terms
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and the Company regarding your use of the Beyönd Platform. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to”. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
The general sales conditions of BEYÖND are available on the website and can be consulted freely by simply asking the greeting staff of BEYÖND BV.
