Purpose of the exhibition: The festival is an exhibition to offer information, advice and products for sale and is intended to provide the visitor with details as regards the products on show at the fair. The exhibitors’ presentation should conform to this purpose. 

Registration and table reservations: For the exhibitors, ordering a table is binding and irrevocable. For the organisation registration becomes legally binding on the rendering of the account and the receipt of the registration form serves as acknowledgement of the exhibiting conditions.

Amendments, subsidiary agreements: All addenda, deletions, provisos to the registration will not be recognised. Amendments to the registration and subsidiary agreements must be in legally binding written form. 

Refusal of the registration: The organiser reserves the right to refuse registrations without providing a reason. Even after a place has been allocated, the organiser is entitled to cancel the registration of an exhibitor if the invoice has not been paid in full, if liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings are threatened or have been opened against the exhibitor or demands for payment are unsettled. In such cases the organiser will only accept a cash payment or presentation of the paying-in slip confirmed by the financial institution. A further reason for refusal is if the goods to be presented do not fall in line with the theme of the event or do not correspond to the categories listed on the registration form. 

General regulations: Every form of advertising is forbidden as well as making use of the area outside the exhibiting area or table, in particular the distribution of catalogues, price-lists, advertising material or acoustic or visual advertising. The organiser assumes no liability for objects left in the exhibiting area after the tear-down period. The exhibitor undertakes to exclusively exhibit goods and to offer the same free of charge to the visitors for tasting which correspond to the general statutory regulations and are provided with appropriate labelling stating the prices.  

Exhibiting places and occupation of the stand: The allocation of the exhibiting place or the selection of the venue is left to the discretion of the organiser. The latter shall also have the right, if necessary, to provide the exhibitor with an alternative exhibiting place according to the confirmation, if so required for purposes of the event.

The exhibitor undertakes to keep the exhibiting place occupied for the duration of the entire festival, and to take responsibility for its tidy appearance and cleaning. The setting-up of stands, partitions etc. as well as the installing of electric cables etc. is forbidden. In addition it is not permitted to set up the table or to clear it during the festival opening times. Sub-letting of the exhibiting place by the exhibitor is prohibited. 

Alterations to venue and dates: If, through causes beyond the organiser’s control (force majeur), strikes or political events, the event can not take place, the organiser is entitled to retain 30% of the sum invoiced as compensation insofar as staging the event would prove to be unreasonable. In this event the exhibitor has no right to compensation. 

Entering the exhibition rooms, entry tickets: Entering the exhibition rooms is only allowed during the set-up and tear-down periods and during the opening times with an exhibitor pass. Animals are not allowed. 

Data protection: With registration the exhibitor gives express agreement to allow the data made known to the organiser to be processed and used for private information or advertising purposes. The organiser undertakes not to pass on the data to third parties. 

Filming and photography: In the exhibiting rooms the organiser has the right to take photographs or film. In this context the exhibitors waive any right to object on the grounds of copyright law.

Fire regulations: The general fire regulations and official regulations must be adhered to. The storing of inflammable objects as well as the burning of candles and combustible objects is forbidden. Fire extinguishers are positioned in the corridors. 

Lien: The exhibitor shall grant the organiser a lien on all items at the place of the event for all open justified claims, which lien allows the organiser to withhold and store the pledged items at the exhibitor’s risk and cost. 

Special activities: Musical performances or presentations of sounds and pictures etc, in the exhibiting rooms are in principle not allowed and require the written permission of the organiser. 

Cancellation fees: If, after the allocation of the exhibiting area or table, registration is cancelled by the exhibitor, the organiser is entitled to 100% of the cancellation fee – this also applies for a cancellation of the registration up to 8 weeks before the start of the event. In this way the cancellation fee is defined as flat-rate compensation. 

Cleaning: The exhibitor undertakes to take responsibility for the cleaning and cleanliness of the table and stand area, the organiser for the areas between.  

Infringement of the exhibiting conditions: Breaches or non-observance of the contract or exhibiting conditions as well as failure to comply with official regulations will lead to the table or exhibiting area being immediately cleared – without any legal action – and will take place at the expense of and with risk to the exhibitor, who undertakes to comply with the instructions of the organiser. 

Insurance coverage: The organiser accepts no liability for damage to or loss of objects exhibited or objects of any type in the exhibiting areas. The exhibitor is liable for any damage caused by him or her, his or her employees, appointees or visitors. In any event the organiser is indemnified and held harmless during the set-up and tear-down periods as well as the duration of the exhibition.  

Conditions of payment: Following invoicing full payment must be made into the organiser’s account within four weeks – in the case of later registration within four weeks of the start of the event, payment must be made directly on receipt of the invoice. The same conditions apply for additional services such as use of electricity, glasses service etc.

Entry ticket vouchers for customers (25% discount) must be fully paid before they are dispatched!  

Additional fittings / special requests: Electric installations etc. are only possible in the Kultursaal (Hall of Culture) and will be set up according to the list on offer and the order of the exhibitor. Private installations as well as the gratuitous use of electricity sources are strictly forbidden.
