Payment schedule of the total participation fee (€ 1.650; until the 30th of June 2024 the participation fee will be € 1.500)

• An extra € 350  before the 28th of February 2025
• An extra € 250  before the 31st of March 2025
• The final € 250  before the 30th of April 2025

If a participant or supporter wants to cancel their participation, this is the policy we handle:

• Cancelling up to and including 30th of April 2025. You must pay 25% of the total participation fee (€ 1.650). We will refund your paid fee by minus this 25%. So, if you paid € 1.000 as a participant when you decide to cancel, your refund will be € 1.000 minus 25% of € 1.500. So, € 625 will be your refund based on this calculation: € 1.000 -/- (25% of € 1.500 = € 375). Of course, you can also try to transfer for your participation or supporter ticket to someone else without extra costs involved. This is the most cost-effective option.
• From the 1st of May 2025 you can only transfer your ticket to someone else and you are obliged to pay the full participation or supporter fee.

Shifting the date of the event by the organisation in case of force majeure (like Covid-19 measures). You have two options:

• Shifting your participation to the new date without any extra costs. This is the most cost-effective option.
• A refund of the paid fee by you minus a percentage of the total participation fee (€1.650)   in accordance with this scheme:
  • Announcement of the shifting up to and including the 30th of April 2025 (±2 months before the original start of the event): Paid fee minus 25% of the total participation or supporter fee. So, if you paid € 1.000 when the shift is announced, your refund will be € 1.000 minus 25% of € 1.650. So, € 587,50 will be your refund based on this calculation: € 1.000
    -/- (25% of € 1.650 = € 412,50).
  • Announcement of the shifting from the 1st of May 2025 up to and including 6th of June 2025 (2 days before the original start of the event): Paid fee minus 80% of the total participation or supporter fee. So, if you paid € 1.650 as a participant when the shift is announced, your refund will be € 1.650 minus 80% of € 1.650. So, € 330 will be your refund based on this calculation: € 1.650 -/- (80% of € 1.650 = € 1.320). In this last case the force majeure will be for example a big storm, a tsunami, new unexpected Covid-19 measures.
