If you use the Ticket Service as a Visitor, you purchase a Ticket from the Organiser. The Organizer is responsible for the Event.

a. These Terms of Use apply to every use that Visitor makes of the Ticket Service.
b. These Terms of Use also apply to the relationship between customers and third parties that Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt uses in the execution of the ticket service.
3. Use of the Ticket Service
a. Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt acts as an intermediary in the conclusion of the Agreement between Visitor and Organizer when offering and selling Tickets. Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt is expressly not part of the Agreement that is concluded through the purchase of a Ticket. The Agreement is concluded after the Visitor has purchased one or more Tickets via Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt. Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt provides the Tickets for the relevant Event on behalf of the Organizer. These Terms of Use therefore only apply to the use of the Ticket Service.
b. If the Visitor wants to buy a ticket, he must go through the procedure. In that context, the Visitor must provide certain necessary information. Visitor guarantees that the information provided is correct and current.
c. Tickets will be sent by email once payment is confirmed. When the confirmation is received immediately after payment, the tickets will also be offered as a download.

These General Terms and Conditions can be requested from the Organizer and the holder of the Location. These can usually be found on the website of the Organizer and the Location holder. Visitor accepts the applicability of those General Terms and Conditions.
i. The Organizer points out to the Visitor that the Agreement that is concluded by means of the Ticket Service relates to leisure activities as referred to in Article 6:230p sub e of the Dutch Civil Code. Visitor therefore does not have the right to dissolve the Agreement without stating reasons as referred to in Article 6:230o of the Dutch Civil Code. If and insofar as the Event takes place within 14 days after the conclusion of the Agreement, the Visitor agrees in advance in accordance with Article 6:230p sub d of the Dutch Civil Code and the Visitor hereby waives the right of termination after the Event has taken place.

If the Organizer does not provide a refund or does not answer questions from the Visitor, the Visitor must contact Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt directly via the Organiser. Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt will then endeavor to obtain the refund from the Organizer.
d. In the event that there is a right to a refund of any amount, the Visitor will only be able to validate a claim against the Organizer and never against Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt. Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt is never obliged to refund any amount in this context.
6. Prohibition of (re)sale for commercial purposes
a. Tickets are exclusively intended to be purchased by the Visitor for his own use. Personal use means not with the intention of offering the Ticket for sale or (re)selling it to third parties or making it available for commercial purposes. Own use does include the purchase of Ticket(s) for the benefit of the group with which the Visitor will visit the Event. Own use also includes buying Ticket(s) to give as a gift.
b. Visitor is only entitled to (re)sell Tickets if the Ticket has been purchased for personal use but a circumstance subsequently arises as a result of which Visitor can no longer visit the Event, or if one or more persons from the group with whom Visitor visiting the Event would be prevented from doing so.
c. (Re)sale of Tickets as referred to under b of this article can only take place at a sales price that is a maximum of 20% on top of the price for which the Visitor has purchased the Ticket.

e. The Visitor may not make his Ticket available to third parties free of charge, provided this is not done in the context of commercial purposes and he has complied with the obligations imposed on him, as expressed in these Terms of Use or the General Terms and Conditions of the Organiser, including the prohibition of (by )sale for commercial purposes, also to be imposed on the person to whom he makes the Ticket available and guarantees to the Organizer that this person(s) will comply with these obligations.
f. The opinion of the Organizer that the intention is aimed at (re)sale for commercial purposes is binding.
g. If Visitor fails to comply with one or more of his obligations, as stated in the previous paragraphs of this article, Visitor will pay the Organizer an immediately due and payable fine of €25,000 per violation (per Ticket) and a fine of €1,000.- for each day that the violation has continued and continues, without prejudice to the right of the Organizer to additionally claim compliance and/or (instead of the fine) compensation for the damage suffered or to be suffered from the Visitor.
h. A Ticket that has been/will be resold for commercial purposes and/or used for commercial purposes may be invalidated by the Organiser. An invalidated Ticket does not give the right to access the Event, nor does it entitle the Visitor and/or the holder of the Ticket to a refund and/or compensation.
i. If the General Terms and Conditions also contain a provision prohibiting (re)sale for commercial purposes, that provision will prevail over this one.
7. Intellectual and Industrial Property Rights
a. The industrial and intellectual property rights with regard to the Ticket service, including the intellectual property rights to texts, images, design, photos, software and audiovisual material, belong to Stichting Stede & Vrye Heerlykheyt or its licensor and/or the Organiser.

Warranties and Indemnification
