All DVA venues are assessed annually for the solvency of their business and must achieve a minimum score that allows them to meet their financial obligations. In addition, all DVA venues have taken out the insurance policies commonly used in the industry and offer the client the option of event insurance.  

At DVA locations, agreements are set forth clearly and transparently. This includes payment terms, rates, changes, costs and house rules. Venues use the DVA delivery and cancellation conditions and have a clear price list for room rental, additional services and culinary care. In addition, house rules provide clear guidelines. Invoices provide full insight into the cost of services, including recharged and deductible VAT. This creates a streamlined and transparent collaboration.

In case of unforeseen circumstances or calamities which prevent the event from taking place, or not in the same form, at the DVA location in question, every effort will be made within the network to arrange a suitable alternative (DVA) location, so that the agreement can still be fulfilled. Thus DVA locations offer the client the greatest possible security and continuity.
