1. These General Terms and Conditions shall apply to all offers, orders for legal relationships and Agreements under which LIFF supplies Products or Services of whatever nature to the Visitor, even if these Products or Services are not described (or not further described) in these General Terms and Conditions.
2. LIFF rejects the applicability of any general terms and conditions used by Visitor.
3. The parties can only agree to deviations from the General Terms and Conditions in writing. LIFF is entitled to amend the General Terms and Conditions and to declare amended General Terms and Conditions applicable to Agreements. The amended General Terms and Conditions can be viewed on LIFF’s website.

After the Visitor orders an admission ticket and/or visits an (online) event, the Parties automatically enter into a legal relationship under which LIFF provides access to certain content online or physical film screenings/events for a certain period of time. It is not possible to undo or cancel this. LIFF shall not refund amounts already paid.

1. To order tickets for the Leiden International Film Festival you need a My LIFF account. In order to purchase tickets for film screenings and events organized by LIFF via liff.nl, or to gain access to paid content offered online by LIFF, the Visitor must first register once on the website. The visitor then creates a My LIFF account, in which the latter declares his acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions.
2. After logging in to My LIFF, it becomes possible for the Visitor to purchase tickets for film screenings and events. It is only possible to make payments after logging in. The My LIFF account is linked to the Visitor’s e-mail address. LIFF needs this e-mail address to send the tickets to the Visitor and to inform the Visitor in a timely manner of any changes in the program.
3. Every transaction done with the My LIFF account is done by the Visitor or done with the Visitor’s permission. Misuse/improper use of the My LIFF account is for the Visitor’s account and risk. If the Visitor wishes to gain access to physical film screenings and events without a My LIFF account, it is possible to purchase tickets through LIFF’s physical box offices, the locations of which LIFF announces in a timely manner through the website. It is not possible to access paid online content of LIFF without My LIFF account.

Access will be denied without a valid ticket. After the start of an event or film screening on location, access will no longer be granted. Online access will still be granted for a short time after the start of the program, but no reduction in price will be made. Admission is only for the Visitor with a valid ticket purchased on the website liff.nl or through the physical box office. Tickets purchased with Cineville, CJP, LeidsePas or accreditation cards are personal and must be shown at the entrance to the screening location in combination with the valid (discount) pass.

2. In all cases, LIFF’s liability for an attributable failure to perform an Agreement shall arise only if the Visitor gives LIFF prompt written notice of default, in which a reasonable period is given to remedy the failure, and LIFF continues to fail imputably in the performance of its obligations even after that period. The notice of default must contain a description of the shortcoming that is as complete and detailed as possible so that LIFF is able to respond adequately.
