Without Prejudice
Explanation:
This is how any lagal question would be avoided in the UK. With the inclusion of this phrase at the top of a letter, legal repercussions can be avoided. If I've spelt anything wrong it;s because I've just returned from a pub quiz night.

Encapsulates it in a nutshell, I would say. So many words in Dutch - so few in English. Have we covered all bases?

Explanation:
"onder alle voorbehoud". It should be remembered that we are dealing with the Belgian legal system, not the British. The first is based on civil law and the second on common law.

If you want to turn this into a heading, and that was not part of the question, you could say:
'Without prejudice [to our rights] and with all rights reserved'
