2.3 Organizer has the right to amend these Visitor Terms in whole or in part at any time. Organizer will inform the Visitor in a timely manner of the changes to the Visitor Terms by posting them on its Website.

3.3 The statutory right of withdrawal allowing the Booker (if acting as a consumer), to cancel the Agreement within 14 days of its conclusion, is not applicable. An appeal by the Booker to that right is therefore not valid.

4.2 An Admission Ticket is provided to the Visitor once and grants one Visitor access to the Event and the Event location once, and automatically loses its validity upon leaving the Event location.

4.3 If an Event is rescheduled by Organizer to another date, for example due to force majeure, the Admission Ticket remains valid for the new date on which the Event will take place. If the Visitor cannot or does not want to attend the Event on the new date, the Visitor is entitled to return the Admission Ticket to Organizer or to a (pre)sales outlet engaged by Organizer for a refund of the fee stated on the Admission Ticket, regardless of the price paid by the Visitor for the Admission Ticket. Service and/or administration fees will not be refunded.

4.4 An Admission Ticket only grants access to the Event location to the holder of the Admission Ticket. It is the Visitor's own responsibility to ensure that he becomes and remains the holder of the Admission Ticket. Admission Tickets are and remain the property of Organizer.

4.5 An Admission Ticket may consist of a document provided by or on behalf of Organizer, or a barcode provided.


ARTICLE 5 | PROHIBITION OF RESELLING TICKETS

5.2 Visitors are not permitted to advertise or engage in any form of publicity related to the Event or any part of it.

The Visitor guarantees that the aforementioned third parties will comply with all such obligations.

In such a case, the Organizer shall also only be liable if the Visitor promptly and properly informs the Organizer in writing of the default, specifying a reasonable period for compliance with the obligation or the correction of the error, and if the Organizer continues to fail to fulfill that obligation or correct the error even after such notice.

6.5 Organizer excludes liability for the loss of clothing, goods, and/or other property of the Visitor and does not accept any liability as such. If the Visitor can provide concrete evidence that the loss of clothing, goods, and/or other property of the Visitor is solely the result of intent or gross negligence of (personnel of) the Organizer, the Visitor must notify the Organizer of this promptly and in writing, under penalty of forfeiture of any claim for damages, and the Organizer will pay compensation to the Visitor upon presentation of a valid purchase receipt of the respective property(ies), up to a maximum of the purchase amount, with a maximum of €250 (two hundred and fifty euros).

However, Organizer cannot guarantee that the Visitor will receive this information before the start of the Event. Organizer is not liable for any damage in this regard and is not obliged to compensate or refund the Admission Price of the Admission Ticket and any service, payment, and/or administration costs incurred.
