(As of 11/06/2025)

LEGAL NOTICE OBLIGATION AND ADVERTISING

Comicline ASBL is subject to the legal notice obligation under Luxembourgish law. Our organization is committed to providing complete and accurate information in the legal notice to ensure transparency and trust. The legal notice contains all necessary details such as the full name of the organization, address, contact details, and registration number in the association register.

References to advertising and commercial content are clearly and distinctly marked at Comicline ASBL. This practice ensures that our members and visitors can always differentiate between editorial and promotional content. We place great importance on ensuring that all commercial content is recognizable as such to maintain transparency and credibility.

LIABILITY FOR CONTENT

As a registered association (ASBL), we are responsible under Luxembourgish law for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws. However, we are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances indicating illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected.

Liability in this regard is only possible from the moment a specific legal violation becomes known. Upon becoming aware of corresponding legal violations, we will remove such content immediately. In the event of disputes, Luxembourgish courts have jurisdiction.

EDITORIAL MANAGEMENT

REVIEWS & MANUSCRIPTS

Pursuant to Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, reviews are protected as expressions of opinion and freedom of information. This means that authors of reviews express their personal opinions and thus fall under the protection of freedom of expression. This protection covers both positive and critical evaluations, provided they do not violate applicable laws.

We assume no liability for unsolicited manuscripts. Due to limited resources and time, these manuscripts are neither processed nor returned. We ask for your understanding that it is not possible for us to individually review and process every submitted manuscript.

We also point out that unsolicited review copies do not entitle you to a review. We reserve the right to select and publish submitted reviews at our discretion. This selection is based on internal quality criteria and editorial guidelines to ensure that published content meets our standards.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR MEDIA IN LUXEMBOURG

Luxembourg has a differentiated legal framework that provides specific regulations depending on the medium and combines national laws with European directives to meet the demands of a modern media environment.

Print Media

In the field of print media, the Loi du 8 juin 2004 sur la liberté d’expression dans les médias is authoritative, supplemented by the amendments of the Loi du 11 avril 2010. These laws establish the legal framework for press freedom and editorial due diligence, define content boundaries, and protect freedom of expression. Additionally, older provisions such as the Loi du 23 mai 1927 regulate specific aspects, such as the handling of obscene publications, thereby contributing to comprehensive legal protection.

Electronic media and broadcasting

For electronic media and broadcasting, the Loi du 27 juillet 1991 sur les médias électroniques forms the foundation. This law creates the legal conditions for electronic communication services and is supplemented by the Règlement grand-ducal du 28 juillet 2014, which, among other things, regulates the allocation of broadcasting frequencies. This ensures fair competition and consumer protection. As a member of the European Union, Luxembourg also implements European guidelines, particularly Directive (EU) 2018/1972, which establishes the European Electronic Communications Code and harmonizes national regulations.

Audiovisual media

In the area of audiovisual media, the Loi du 22 septembre 2014 plays a central role. It promotes national audiovisual production and adapts financial support mechanisms, such as the national promotion fund, to current market conditions.

IMAGES OF PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS

During events, it is unavoidable that visitors or participants are depicted in photographs. The resulting processing of personal data falls under the provisions of Art. 85(2) GDPR and Art. 5 of the Constitution, which permit such processing for journalistic purposes.

Pursuant to the right to object,,we offer to anonymize individuals in images provided we receive proof that the person depicted in the photo is the one submitting the objection. We ask that objections to depiction be submitted via our contact form.

We strive to protect the data and personality rights of all involved parties and are committed to responding quickly and responsibly to inquiries and concerns regarding the use of photographic material.

IMAGES OF YOUTH AND CHILDREN

Images of youth and children on our website are only published with the express written consent of their legal guardians. We ensure that the personality rights and protection of minors are upheld. Should you not wish for your child’s image to be published, please contact us immediately, and we will remove the affected images without delay.
