In that event, the Festival Organizer will provide a back-up scenario for Festival Visitors, e.g. via the provision of payment tokens.

2. Cashless - transaction disputes

2.1 Top-up transactions

2.1.1 All disputes related to online top-up transactions must be reported immediately to cashless@tomorrowlandwinter.com. Complaints related to online transactions will be accepted up to three months after the end of the Festival. Festival Visitors are asked to include the necessary supporting documentation when they communicate with the Festival Organizer.

2.1.2 Festival Visitors must report disputes regarding top-up transactions made at the Festival to both a Cashless Customer Service point at the Festival and e-mail these to cashless@tomorrowlandwinter.com. The Festival Organizer reserves the right to refuse disputes if neither proof nor documentation regarding the dispute have been submitted. Festival Visitors can track top-up transactions in their Tomorrowland Account.

2.2 Other transactions

All other transaction disputes must be reported to the Cashless Customer Service point at Tomorrowland Winter as soon as possible.

2.3 Support in the case of loss or theft of the value support

2.3.1 The Festival Organizer cannot be held liable for theft of loss of the cashless support (Tomorrowland Winter Bracelet or Cashless Card) onto which the “Pearls” are topped-up after such support has been delivered to the Festival Visitor.

2.3.2 In the event of loss or theft, Festival Visitors can deactivate their cashless support via their Tomorrowland Account or by visiting a Cashless Customer Service point at the Festival.

2.4 Refunds

2.4.1 With the exception of the Bonus Pearls and Pearls pre-loaded by the Festival Organizer, cashless Pearls can only be refunded after the Festival. As a result, the Festival Organizer will not refund any Pearls during the Festival (even if a Festival Visitor is denied admission to the Festival).

2.4.2 All refunds are subject to a refund fee, which will be made available to the Festival Visitor (on www.tomorrowland.com and the Tomorrowland Account) as soon as Pearls can be purchased.

Automatic refunds

2.4.3 All online top-ups or transactions through the website are subject to automatic refunds if implemented by international brands. The international brands are: Bancontact, iDeal, VISA and Mastercard. The Festival Organizer reserves the right to add or remove payment methods if necessary. This clause does not apply in case the online top-up is lower than the onsite top-ups. In that case the manual refund procedure applies.

2.4.4 The Festival Organizer will strive to initiate automatic refunds within a period of 7 days following the end of the Festival. That timeframe is subject to possible delays that are beyond the Festival Organizer’s control. The refunds will be paid using the same method as the one used for the online top-up. The time at which the payment is visible on the proof of the electronic payment method depends on the currency, the country and the required processing time where the payment processor is based.

2.4.5 Refunds that qualify for an automatic refund are executed automatically. The Festival Organizer is not able to manually block certain payments, nor is the Festival Organizer authorized to change the payment method of the refund.

Manual refunds

2.4.6 Manual refunds will be applicable to all amounts that are topped-up on the cashless support during and at the Festival.

2.4.7 Manual refunds may be requested until April 10, 2024, 23:59 CET. No requests for a refund submitted after this date will be taken into account. Festival Visitors are advised to make maximum use of online top-ups.

2.4.8 The Festival Organizer endeavors to begin the refund process within a period of seven working days after the end of the registration period for these refunds. This timeframe is subject to possible delays beyond the Festival Organizer’s control. The refunds will be conducted using the payment method indicated by the Festival Visitor on the “manual refund form”.

2.4.9 Because manual refunds are processed individually, there is a minimum processing period between the notification from the cashless system and the effective payment. This processing period will take approximately three banking days. The Festival Organizer cannot be held liable within this minimum processing period. The processing period depends on the selected refund method.

2.4.10 Festival Visitors are responsible for providing the correct refund information to the Festival Organizer. If Festival Visitors do not provide the Festival Organizer with the correct information, the Festival Organizer reserves the right to not carry out the refund.

2.4.11 NON SEPA refunds are subject to an additional bank fee of € 7.00, which will be deducted from the amount of the refund. These payments require an additional processing period of at least three banking days and are subject to additional bank charges imposed by the destination bank. Festival Visitors will pay these charges.

3. Third party service providers

3.1 The Tomorrowland Winter cashless payment system services are offered to the Festival Visitors with the support of 2 suppliers/payment providers.

Sunweb Special Terms and Conditions

When you finalise your booking with Sunweb, you are confirming that you agree with our booking conditions. It is important to read these terms and conditions carefully before finalising your booking. Sunweb assumes that in addition to below special terms and conditions, you are also aware of the general terms and conditions of the Travel Disputes Committee and the general terms of the insurance company and other options added if these apply to your booking. In addition, Sunweb assumes that you have read all information on the website relevant to your trip.

Apart from the general terms and conditions of the Travel Disputes Committee, Sunweb applies the following special terms and conditions.

1 Formation and contents of the agreement

1.1 Formation

When you have provided all data and agreed to the general and special terms and conditions, Sunweb considers this to be a definitive reservation. The special terms and conditions will be applied in the event of changes and cancellations. Sunweb also considers a request for a reservation a definitive reservation. After the formation of the agreement, the traveller will receive a written or electronic confirmation, possibly in the form of an invoice.

1.2 Revocation

The tour operator’s offer is without obligation and if necessary, may be revoked by it. Revocation must take place as soon as possible, but no later than eight office hours after acceptance, stating reasons. Revocation due to correction of errors in the calculation of the travel sum is permitted. Revocation due to an increase of the travel sum must comply with the requirements as provided in article 5 of the general terms and conditions of the Travel Disputes Committee.

1.3 Travel time

If, in the event of trips that include transportation, the travel time and duration of the stay is stated in days in the publication, the days of departure and arrival will be considered whole days, regardless of the departure and arrival times. In some instances, the actual duration of the stay at the destination may be fewer days than stated in the publication. Sunweb has no influence on this and is not liable for any adverse arrival and departure times. Sunweb is not liable for delays due to force majeure.

1.4 Publication

The photos shown on the website have been made available by the accommodation providers, local tourist offices and professional photographers. The photos shown with the accommodations serve only to give you an idea. As individual apartments or hotel rooms are not identical, it can occur that the accommodation provided on location differs from the photos on the website. For any typographical mistakes, Sunweb cannot be held responsible.

Sunweb reserves the right to unilaterally change the package holiday, insofar as it concerns an insignificant change. If Sunweb intends to make such an insignificant change, we will notify you accordingly.

1.5 Privacy

If you book a holiday, Sunweb requires your personal details. Your details will be handled with care by Sunweb. For further information, please see our Privacy Policy.

2 Travel sum

2.1 Prices

The prices listed on the website are always quoted per person (in the event of travel by air inclusive of airport tax), including tourist tax and SGR guarantee fund fee and on the basis of minimum occupancy.

2.2 Local costs

For a studio, apartment and chalet a deposit is required. You will get your deposit back as long as your apartment is left undamaged, tidy and clean. Lockers, parking and the like must be paid on site. The stated prices of these local costs are an indication and may vary at the destination. Sunweb is not responsible for any clash of opinions between you and the accommodation provider about matters relating to local costs.

2.3      Change of travel sum

           Sunweb reserves the right to change prices up to 20 days prior to the
          departure date (in the case of own transport prices before the date of arrival of
          the first stay booked) as a result of a change in the transportation costs
          (including fuel costs), taxes, levies owed and the applicable exchange rates.

The prices are determined on the basis of prices, taxes and exchange rates as applicable on the date of determination. If changes occur in said components after this time, Sunweb reserves the right to pass on these costs. The change is calculated based on the difference between the current price compared to the price on the date of determination. You are entitled to a price reduction (less the actual administrative costs incurred) if costs decrease for the same reasons.

3 Bookings and payment

3.1 Main Booker

The person who books the trip is solely accountable (also for all other people for whom he/she books). All traffic (including payments) between the traveller(s) and the travel agent is solely between the person who booked the trip. You and your fellow travellers must be at least 18 years of age to book a Tomorrowland Winter package with Sunweb.

You are obliged to comply with all instructions given by or on behalf of Sunweb and you are liable for damage caused by your actions. If you cause or can cause such nuisance that the proper execution of the travel agreement is or can be made more difficult or if your behavior poses a danger to yourself, your fellow travellers or parties that deliver to you (part of) the trip, Sunweb can exclude you from (continuation of) (part of) the trip. The resulting costs are at your own expense.

3.2 Changes

After the invoice is prepared you can personalize your order. Until November 30th 2023 the personalization can be done free of charge in your account. From Dec 1st 2023, the traveller can request the travel agent to change a name in the ordered package to the name of a third party. For each name change € 350 of change-over costs will be charged. A postponement of the departure date or a reduction of the number of paying passengers will be considered a (partial) cancellation to which the cancellation terms and conditions are applicable. Name changes can be requested up to one week before departure. Within 7 days prior to arrival, we do not accept any changes anymore.

3.3 Cancellation

Cancellations must be made in writing within three days after the event that caused the trip to be cancelled (in full or in part). Bear in mind that a cancellation is never free of charge. Sunweb can only process a cancellation if it has been submitted in writing by the person who booked the trip. A fellow traveller is not jointly and severally liable and can therefore not report a cancellation.

If an agreement is cancelled, the traveller will owe the following cancellation costs:

70% till November 1
80% till December 1
90% till February 1
100% from February 1

In the event of a cancellation, the price of the insurance and the policy costs are always charged in addition to the cancellation costs, unless these amount to the entire travel sum. Extra’s bought in the voucher sale should be paid immediately and the cancellation fee is always 100%.

Partial Cancellation
In case one of the participants of a booking is cancelled, the cancellation cost will be 90% of the total price for that participant till February 1st. From February 1st the costs are 100%.

3.4 Payment

The advance is 30% of the travel sum, with a maximum of € 2.500. The outstanding balance must be paid to Sunweb within 30 calendar days after booking. If you book within six weeks prior to departure, you must transfer the total amount upon placing your order. If you fail to pay in a timely fashion, Sunweb will inform you of that in writing. You will then have the opportunity to pay the amount owed within seven working days. If payment is still not made, the contract will be deemed to have been cancelled. Sunweb has the right to charge the cancellation costs owed for that. Extra’s bought in the voucher sale should be paid immediately and the cancellation fee is always 100%.

Payment is possible via Buckaroo (KBC Online / Mister Cash, Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard)) or bank transfer.

3.5 Interest and costs

Each unpaid invoice automatically carries an interest of 12% per annum as from the date of the first notice of default.
In addition, damages of 15% will be owed automatically, thus without an obligation to notify default being, with a minimum of € 37,50.

Having the correct travel documents is and remains your own responsibility at all times.

6 Complaints and disputes

If you have a complaint about your holiday with Sunweb, you must first contact the Sunweb guide at your destination. Please check your travel documents for their contact information. If you are not satisfied with your accommodation in any way, in addition to contacting your Sunweb guide, please also report this immediately to the reception of your accommodation. Our guide is ready for you to resolve your complaints at destination. Due to this approach it is usually possible to immediately resolve your complaint according to your wishes. Afterwards, when you get home, it is of course no longer possible to solve the problem.

If your complaint has not been dealt with to meet your satisfaction, then it is essential that you fill in a Customer Care form with our guide. This form, accompanied by motivation in writing, should then be reported via email or postal mail. At the latest Sunweb must receive this within 2 months after your holiday has finished. Sending the Customer Care form without any further evidence will not be sufficient to handle your complaint. After receiving the form and motivation, we will send you an acknowledgment of receipt. We will provide a substantive response to your comments within 1 month.

You can address your correspondence to:

Please note that complaints at the destination which have not been reported and for which no Customer Care form has been completed will not be handled by our Customer Support Department.

If your complaint relates to Sunweb or to the establishment of the booking, you can submit your complaint via the contact form on the website. After receipt of a complaint, before departure, we will not send an acknowledgment of receipt. This is because within 4 weeks or sooner at earlier departures, we want to handle your complaint.

For further information about travel conditions and your rights as a traveller, please refer to the general terms and conditions of the Travel Disputes Committee and the complaints page on our website.

All agreements concluded with our customers, regardless of their place of residence, are exclusively governed by Belgian law.

In the event of an out-of-court settlement of the dispute, the Consumer Mediation Service of the FOD Economics Belgium is competent to receive any request for out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes. On her tern, the Consumer Mediation Service will either handle the request itself or forward it to a qualified entity.
