This Site may contain statements, estimates or projections that
constitute "forward-looking statements". Generally,
the words "believe," "expect," "intend,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "project,"
"will" and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward-looking
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from UCTE's historical
experience and our present expectations or projections. You should
not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date they are made. UCTE undertakes no obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
9. Revisions to the Terms
UCTE may at any time, and without notice, revise these Terms
of Use by updating this posting. You are bound by any such revisions

current Terms of Use.
10. Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Use and your use of the Site are governed by the
Belgian law.
11. Secured Access Privilege: User Account,
Password, and Security
The UCTE maintains a secured section of this Website to share
and make available certain materials and information that require
access restrictions. Validated users will be granted access privileges
to such secured section. Users are responsible for maintaining
the confidentiality of their assigned User ID and password, and
are fully responsible for all activities that occur under their
account. UCTE shall not be liable or responsible for any misuse
of User ID and password.
12. General Security Practices and Termination
Users of the secured section of this Website acknowledge that
general security practices are employed. UCTE has the right to
log off accounts that are logged in and show no activity for a
longer period of time, as well as account inactivity for more
than 180 days. UCTE reserves the right to change these general
security practices at any time without prior notice.
As a condition of the grant of access to the secured section,
the user must agree that UCTE may terminate the user's account
and its access privilege for any reason. The user must also agree
that any termination of its access privileges may be effected
without prior notice, and that UCTE may at any time immediately
deactivate or delete the user's account and prevent the user from
further access to the secured section of the Website. Furthermore,
the user must agree that UCTE shall not be liable in any respect
to the user or to any third-party for any termination of the user's
access to the secured section of the Website.
