1.4 The applicability of the general terms and conditions applied by the customer is hereby expressly excluded.
1.5 If and insofar as one or more provisions of these Terms and Conditions are contrary to mandatory statutory provisions, the latter provisions will be deemed to replace the provisions concerned or a portion of the provisions of the Terms and Conditions, without prejudice to the validity of the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
Article 2 Definitions
2.1 A MICE company may act in the capacity of MICE agent (2.1(a)) or travel organizer (2.1(b)).
a.1 A MICE agent (or intermediary) is a party which, in operating its business, furnishes information and advice regarding travel and MICE, both in the broadest sense of the word, as well as brokers travel and MICE contracts between customers and service providers.
a.2 Any business as mentioned in Article 2.1.a.1 which does not relate to travel or MICE, including but not limited to: rentals, venues, production support and events, in the broadest sense of the word apply mutatis mutandis to articles in these Terms and Conditions relating to Event1001 acting in capacity of MICE agent.

A travel organizer is a party which, in operating its business and in its own name, offers organized travel packages and, in that connection, concludes a contract with the customer in which it undertakes vis-à-vis the customer to furnish a travel package offered and organized by it comprising an overnight stay or a period of more than 24 hours, as well as at least two of the following services:
1. transport;
2. accommodation
3. another tourist service, not related to transport or accommodation, which forms a significant part of the travel package
2.2 If the MICE company is acting as a travel organizer, then, in addition to and partially in deviation from these Terms and Conditions, the specific provisions written for travel organizers will apply. In that case, if there is a conflict with another provision in these Terms and Conditions, the provisions written for travel organizers will prevail over the general provisions.

2.4 Client: the natural person (or persons) to whom one or more services are provided based on the contract concluded with the customer.
2.5 Service provider: the transporter, provider of accommodation or other provider of travel or MICe services, both in the broadest sense of the word, with which the customer enters into a contract to provide accommodation, transport or other services and which, subject to its applicable terms and conditions, is responsible for performing these services.

Acceptance may be ether written or oral. After acceptance, the customer will be bound by the contract. If a confirmation is furnished by the MICE company, this will constitute proof of the content of the contract.
3.2 The offer of the travel organizer is made without obligation and can be withdrawn by the travel organizer, even after acceptance. Withdrawal must take place as soon as possible, and specifically within two working days after the contract is created. This provision will apply by analogy in case of proposals to modify contracts already entered into.

Article 4 Price

The travel sum may be adjusted then to the actual transport costs at the time the tickets are printed.

5.1 Production costs as referred to in Article 2.9 will be charged to the customer in the event that these costs were made, either implicitly or explicitly, on instruction of the customer.
5.2 The MICE company reserves the right to calculate the production costs of an order, provided that these reasonably result from the (nature of the) order or the circumstances regarding the realisation of the order.

8.B.3 If the change involves one or more substantial points and the customer cannot reasonably be expected to allow the services booked to proceed, the customer will be entitled to rescind the contract.

b. the failure to fulfil the contract could not be foreseen or could not be remedied and is attributable to a third party which was not involved in the delivery of the services included in the travel package or
c. the failure to fulfil the contract is attributable to an event that the travel organizer or person assisting with the fulfilment of the contract could not, despite exercising all due care, foresee or rectify; or
