1. What do I get for free?

Any acceptor who registers via the special registration page during the agreed period will pay no connection fee of €49.95 (ex VAT). In addition, acceptors receive a free listing on our website with their name, logo and address.

2. Is that 49.95 a one-off or does that cost recur every year thereafter?

The connection fee is one-off. VVV Netherlands does not charge an annual fee or marketing fee. A commission is only withheld when a customer pays with an Almere VVV Gift Card.

3. The 10% remittance, how does one settle it?

The acceptor receives a weekly e-mail with financial statements containing details of transactions with Almere VVV Gift Cards. One day after the e-mail is sent, the compensation (90% of the amount paid with a VVV Gift Card) is transferred.

4. Can the entrepreneur (acceptor) quit at any time if he/she wanted to?

By agreeing to the terms, the entrepreneur enters into an indefinite agreement. The cooperation can be terminated with 1 month's notice.

5. Can residual balance on the card be exchanged for cash?

A residual balance on the card remains available for a subsequent purchase. When there is no more balance on the card, the card can be discarded.

6. Am I obliged to order a minimum number of tickets?

It is not about selling gift cards. It does involve the acceptance/acceptance of gift cards by you, from consumers who want to redeem a card for a product or service. So there is no compulsory purchase, or compulsory acceptance minimum.
