3. Formation of the agreement with Wise Dreams B.V.
- The service that is provided by Wise Dreams B.V. consists of the distribution of Tickets or Organizing an event it arranges as Organiser or both. A Ticket is no more than a right to admission, in this case admission to an Event of the Organiser. The purchase of a Ticket gives rise to the formation of an agreement: an agreement between the Buyer and Wise Dreams B.V. as the Organiser of the Event for which the Buyer has purchased a right to admission. Or between Buyer and Wise Dreams B.V. as both Seller and Organiser of the Event for which a Ticket has been purchased.
- The agreement that is formed between Wise Dreams B.V. and the Buyer relates to the order and delivery process of the Ticket. The formation of an agreement with Wise Dreams B.V. as Organiser is addressed under 4.
- Tickets are sent to the email address or other address that the Buyer has stated in his or her account. Wise Dreams B.V. will continue to deem the e-mail address or other address stated by the Buyer to be correct.
- The delivery terms stated by Wise Dreams B.V. shall never be considered final deadlines, unless expressly agreed otherwise. If delivery is not made in time, a written notice of default should be issued to Wise Dreams B.V.
- In the event that any delivery term is exceeded, this does not give the Buyer any right to compensation nor the right to cancel the order or to dissolve the agreement, unless the delivery term is exceeded to such an extent that the Buyer cannot be reasonably expected to uphold the agreement.
4. Formation of the agreement between the Buyer and the Organiser
- The Buyer purchases a Ticket for an Event of the Organiser, Wise Dreams B.V.. This will give rise to the formation of an agreement between the Buyer and Organiser regarding rights and obligations in connection with the right to admission to the Event of the Organiser.
- Unless agreed otherwise in writing, all offers, including adverts and price lists as stated on the website of Wise Dreams B.V., shall be non-binding.
- Before confirming his reservation, the Buyer must always check carefully whether the correct Tickets have been reserved. When making the reservation, the Buyer must always use a correct address (email or otherwise). If the Buyer opts to receive Tickets by electronic means, the risk of loss, theft or misuse of the Ticket shall rest with the Buyer from the moment that the Tickets have reached the Buyer. In the case of doubt concerning the correctness of the data that the Buyer entered when placing the order, Wise Dreams B.V. can contact the Buyer using the data that the Buyer entered. If Wise Dreams B.V. is unable to reach the Buyer and therefore is unable to verify the data, Wise Dreams B.V. can proceed to cancel the reservation and sell the Tickets to another Buyer. If Wise Dreams B.V. has any doubts concerning the correctness or the validity of the data entered by the Buyer when placing the order or the instrument of payment used by the Buyer, it shall have the right to cancel the Buyer’s reservation and sell the Tickets to another Buyer. Wise Dreams B.V. shall endeavour to inform the Buyer in such a case. All agreements are entered into subject to the condition precedent of sufficient availability of the products or services concerned.
- Wise Dreams B.V. is entitled to set a maximum for the number of Tickets that can be reserved or purchased. In the case of specific grounds for suspecting misuse with regard to a circumvention of the set maximum, Wise Dreams B.V. shall be entitled to cancel the reservation of the Tickets or to invalidate the Tickets concerned in order to prevent the large-scale buying up of Tickets.
- Wise Dreams B.V. has the option of offering additional products when selling Tickets. If Wise Dreams B.V. sells products or services of third parties by means of this activity, the (General) Terms and Conditions of that third party shall apply to the (delivery of the) products or services concerned.

6. Cancelled or re-scheduled events

The notice of default should contain a description of the shortcoming in as much detail as possible so that Wise Dreams B.V. is able to put forward an adequate response.

Generally speaking, for events to constitute force majeure, they must be unforeseeable, external to the parties of the contract, and unavoidable for e.g. (Corona) virus break out. These concepts are defined and applied differently by different jurisdictions.
- Without prejudice to the other rights to which it is entitled, Wise Dreams B.V. shall in the case of force majeure have the right to suspend performance of the order of the Buyer, by notifying this in writing to the Buyer, without Wise Dreams B.V. being obliged to pay any compensation, unless this would be unacceptable in the given circumstances according to standards of reasonableness and fairness.
