Changes / force majeure
The organizer may cancel, shorten or postpone an event for verifiable, compelling reasons.
In any case, claims for damages are excluded for both parties.

Stand set-up, design and dismantling
The exhibitor will receive a site plan and the stand number in good time, at least two weeks before the event. Any complaints must be made in writing within eight days. After the above mentioned deadline, complaints are no longer possible. The exhibitor has to set up and dismantle the stand within the announced times.

Construction and design of the stand must comply with legal requirements. The rented items (furniture, partitions) must not be nailed, painted or otherwise damaged. Rental furniture must be cleared out and handed over in the evening after the event. Missing or damaged rental goods will be charged at replacement cost. After the end of the dismantling period, the organizer will remove and store any stands or items not cleared away, for a fee and without liability for loss or damage.

Third-party use of stands
Exhibitors are not allowed to sublet, share with other companies, exchange or let other companies have all or part of their assigned stand without the permission of the organizer. In case of unauthorized subletting, other third-party use of stand space, or unauthorized offering or sale of goods or services, the organizer has the right to demand an additional 50% of the stand rent, unless the subtenant has to vacate the space occupied.

If several exhibitors have jointly rented a stand, each of them is liable as joint debtor. The contact person for the organizer is the person whose full address appears on the exhibitor’s registration form. This person is considered as negotiating partner; the organizer will communicate only with this person. All communication applies to all exhibitors of the joint stand.

Liability, insurance and security
It is strongly recommended that all participants take out liability insurance and, if necessary, insurance for the exhibition goods. Exhibitors are responsible for supervising their stands. The organizer is only liable for damages caused by their own intent or gross negligence.

Data protection
By registering, exhibitors agree to the processing of their personal data for the purposes of event administration.

Additional agreements
Any amendments to the contract and additional agreements must be made in writing to be effective.
