Terms of use

The rules for using Firmwatch, in plain words.

Version of 14 November 2026

What Firmwatch does

Firmwatch shows changes in the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO Open Data, published by FPS Economy) for legal entities, and emails you when a company you follow changes. Firmwatch is not linked to FPS Economy or the Belgian Official Gazette.

Check the official record before you act

The data comes from KBO Open Data as published, usually one day after the KBO records a change. It can contain errors or arrive late, and Firmwatch can be unavailable now and then. Check the KBO record and the Official Gazette before a decision that matters, such as filing a claim. Firmwatch gives information, not legal or financial advice.

Your account

You sign in with a link sent to your email address; keep access to that inbox to yourself. One person per account. You can delete your account at any time in the settings.

Fair use

Do not copy the lists in bulk or with programs, resell the data, use it for direct marketing to people, or try to get around the limits of your plan or the security of the service. The reuse terms of KBO Open Data also apply to data you take from Firmwatch. We may block an account that breaks these rules.

Plans and price

The free plan is free. Pro costs €9 a month, VAT included, and is not available yet: the waiting list on the pricing page tells you when it opens. These terms will then be completed with the payment and cancellation conditions, before anyone can pay.

Liability

Firmwatch is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, the operator is not liable for indirect damage, such as a missed claim or lost profit, caused by an error, a delay or an interruption. Nothing here limits liability for intent or gross negligence, or the rights consumers have under the law.

Changes and ending

Firmwatch may change, and these terms with it. We announce important changes by email at least 30 days ahead; if you do not agree, you can delete your account. If Firmwatch stops, we tell you at least 30 days ahead.

Law

Belgian law applies. Disputes go to the competent Belgian courts; as a consumer you keep the protection of the law of the country where you live.
