When leaving Area V please:
At Area V we apply a maximum noise level ≤ 100 dB(A) LAeq,60min. The maximum sound level is thus less or equal to 100 dB(A) LAeq,60min. It is always measured near the mix table or another representative measurement site. The measurement and recording take place throughout the evening. This means: the electronically amplified music plus the background noise in the venue is measured and recorded. The clear visual indication of the noise level will at least be visible to the controller. Measurements can be tested against 102 dB(A) LAeq15min. We hand out free earplugs to our visitors to protect their hearing.
Area V cannot be held liable for injuries, tangible and/or intangible damage to visitors when entering. You visit Area V at your own risk. Nor can we be held responsible for damage, theft or the loss of items (or their contents) in our cloakroom. If you decide to check in your backpack or coat then please remove all valuables in advance.
You can submit any complaints in writing. Send them to Area V (Club Entertainment BVBA), Gouverneur Verwilghensingel 70 in Hasselt. Do not wait too long because your right to file a complaint expires three business days after the complaint arises.
